"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

So the man got up, immediately picked up his mat, and went out in front of all of them. As a result, all of the people were amazed and began to glorify God as they kept on saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

Jesus replied, "The wedding guests can't fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they can't fast.

Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready for him so that the crowd wouldn't crush him,

and to have the authority to drive out demons.

Others fell on stony ground, where they didn't have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once, because the soil wasn't deep.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they didn't have any roots, they dried up.

but since they don't have any roots, they last for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, they immediately fall away.

because whoever has something, will have more given to him. But whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."

He asked them, "Why are you such cowards? Don't you have any faith yet?"

John had been telling Herod, "It's not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

He asked them, "How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and see." They found out and told him, "Five loaves and two fish."

Then he ordered them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.

All of them saw him and were terrified. Immediately he told them, "Have courage! It's me. Stop being afraid!"

Then he told them, "You have such a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your own tradition!

But you say, "If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me is Corban,"' (that is, an offering to God)

You are destroying the word of God through your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other things like that."

Then he told her, "Because you have said this, go! The demon has left your daughter."

"I have compassion for the crowd, because they've already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat.

If I send them away to their homes hungry, they'll faint on the road. Some of them have come a long distance."

He asked them, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" "Seven," they said.

So they were discussing with one another the fact that they didn't have any bread.

Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "Why are you discussing the fact that you don't have any bread? Don't you understand or perceive yet? Are your hearts hardened?

Do you have eyes, but fail to see? Do you have ears, but fail to hear? Don't you remember?

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again.

What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?

Whenever it brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. So I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they didn't have the power."

The spirit has often thrown him into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us!"

So if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It's better for you to enter life injured than to have two hands and go to hell, to the fire that cannot be put out.

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It's better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It's better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.

Some people were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

The man replied to him, "Teacher, I have obeyed all of these since I was a young man."

Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, "You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

Then Peter began to say to him, "See, we have left everything and followed you."

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

Many people sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

So they called the blind man and told him, "Have courage! Get up. He's calling you." He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

Jesus told his disciples, "Have faith in God!

That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

"Whenever you stand up to pray, forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins.

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, he should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

Then the scribe told him, "Well said, Teacher! You have told the truth that "God is one, and there is no other besides him.'

and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.

Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death,

This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute." So they got extremely angry with her.

because you'll always have the destitute with you and can help them whenever you want, but you won't always have me.

For the Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."

But Peter kept saying emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!" And all the others kept saying the same thing.

Jesus asked them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?

Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?"

"You have heard his blasphemy! What is your verdict?" All of them condemned him as deserving death.

So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"

At three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?")

When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse.
