And there came a voice out of the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.

“Follow Me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they told Him about her.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was praying there.

and they found him, and told him, "Everyone is looking for you."

Then a leper came to Jesus and began pleading with him. He fell on his knees and told him, "If you want to, you can make me clean."

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. “I am willing,” He told him. “Be made clean.”

He told the man, "Be sure that you don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."

And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was told that he was in the house.

Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He told the paralytic,

As he was walking along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax collector's desk. Jesus told him, "Follow me!" So Levi got up and followed him.

When Jesus heard this, He told them, “Those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do need one. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Then He told them, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

He told the man with the paralyzed hand, “Stand before us.”

After looking around at them with anger and sorrow at the hardness of their hearts, He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

And He told His disciples to have a small boat stand ready for Him because of the many people, so that they would not crowd Him;

And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers [are] outside looking for you."

He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

He told them, "The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables

Then he told them, "You don't understand this parable, so how can you understand any of the parables?

but the worries and cares of the world [the distractions of this age with its worldly pleasures], and the deceitfulness [and the false security or glamour] of wealth [or fame], and the passionate desires for all the other things creep in and choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Then Jesus told them, "A lamp isn't brought indoors to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? It's to be put on a lamp stand, isn't it?

Also he said to them, "Take care what you hear; the measure you deal out to others will be dealt out to yourselves, and you will receive extra.

With many such figures he told them the message, as far as they were able to receive it.

On that day, when evening had come, He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.”

He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?"

Then he got up, rebuked the wind, and told the sea, "Calm down! Be still!" Then the wind stopped blowing, and there was a great calm.

who dwelt among the tombs; by this time no one could bind him, not even with a chain,

For He had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

He told him, "My name is Legion, because there are many of us." He kept pleading with Jesus not to send them out of that region.

And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, 'Go away to thy house, unto thine own friends, and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;

For she had told herself, "If only I can touch his clothing, I will be healed."

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

He told her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your illness."

But Jesus, ignoring {what was said}, told the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid--only believe!"

He took her by the hand and told her, "Talitha koum," which means, "Young lady, I tell you, get up!"

And immediately the damsel stood up, and walked about; for she was twelve years old. And they were immediately delighted with great delight.

He gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.

And He told them, “Wherever you go into a house, stay there until you leave that town.

For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful [under Mosaic Law] for you to have your brother’s wife.”

for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man; and paid great attention to him and when he heard him, did many things, and heard him with delight.

When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. So the king told the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you."

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

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."

After He had told them "Goodbye," He went up the hill to pray.

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

He told them, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written, "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

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

Summoning the crowd again, He told them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:

It is because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and [eventually] passes out into the toilet." By saying this He made all foods [ceremonially] acceptable.

Then He told her, “Because of this reply, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

Then he looked up to heaven, sighed, and told him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened!"

In those days, when there was again a large crowd [gathered before Him] and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and told them,

Jesus told the crowd to sit down upon the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out; and they served them out to the crowd.

They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.

Then he told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power."

When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect?”

“Twelve,” they told Him.

"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven."

And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."

This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with Him.

Then Jesus called the crowd to himself along with his disciples and told them, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously,

Then Peter told Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

So, they kept what He told them to themselves, discussing [only] among themselves what "rising again from the dead" meant.

And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able [to do so].

Jesus told them, "You unbelieving generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!"

Jesus told him, ""If you are able?' Everything is possible for the person who believes!"

And He told them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer [and fasting].”

for He was instructing his disciples, and told them, the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and on the third day, after his being put to death, He will rise again.

So he sat down, called the Twelve, and told them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He took him in his arms and told them,

John told Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us."

But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.

So he told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

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 Jesus looked around and told his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus told them again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and afraid, as they followed him. And again taking the twelve aside, he told them the things that were about to befall him;

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus and told him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

But Jesus told them, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized?"

And they replied to Him, “We are able.” Jesus told them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

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."

Jesus called his disciples and told them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers among the unbelievers lord it over them, and their superiors act like tyrants over them.

Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David!”

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." Then they called the blind man and told him, "Courage! Get up, he is calling you."

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.

Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

“Rabbouni,” the blind man told Him, “I want to see!”

“Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.

and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them [to take it].

Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.

Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple [grounds] and began driving out [with force] the people who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and overturned the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the seats of those who were selling doves;

Jesus told his disciples, "Have faith in God!

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
