And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.

Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.

For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.

And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly.

But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.

And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.
