In the evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were ill or possessed by demons;

How he went into the House of God, in the time of Abiathar the High Priest, and ate 'the consecrated bread,' which only the priests are allowed to eat, and gave some to his comrades as well?"

And Jesus said to them: "Is a lamp brought to be put under the corn-measure or under the couch, instead of being put on the lampstand?

On leaving that place, Jesus, followed by his disciples, went to his own part of the country.

He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey- -not even bread, or a bag, or pence in their purse;

But Jesus answered: "It is for you to give them something to eat." "Are we to go and buy twenty pounds' worth of bread," they asked, "to give them to eat?"

The men who ate the bread were five thousand in number.

Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

"Where will it be possible," his disciples answered, "to get sufficient bread for these people in this lonely place?"

Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread with them, one loaf being all that they had in the boat.

They began talking to one another about their being short of bread.

And, noticing this, Jesus said to them: "Why are you talking about your being short of bread? Do not you yet see or understand? Are your minds still so slow or comprehension?

They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

"Teacher," answered a man in the crowd, "I brought my son to see you, as he has a dumb spirit in him;

They brought him to Jesus; but no sooner did the boy see him than the spirit threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

Some of the people were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself upon it.

And, when they had brought it, he asked: "Whose head and title are these?" "The Emperor's," they said;

See to yourselves! They will betray you to courts of law; and you will be taken to Synagogues and beaten; and you will be brought up before governors and kings for my sake, that you may bear witness before them.

It was now two days before the Festival of the Passover and the Unleavened bread. The Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law were looking for an opportunity to arrest Jesus by stealth, and to put him to death;

On the first day of the Festival of the Unleavened bread, when it was customary to kill the Passover lambs, his disciples said to Jesus: "Where do you wish us to go and make preparations for your eating the Passover?"

"It is one of you Twelve," said Jesus, "the one who is dipping his bread beside me into the dish.

While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said: "Take it; this is my body."

Then the Chief Priests brought a number of charges against him;

They brought Jesus to the place which was known as Golgotha- -a name which means 'Place of a Skull.'
