And it happened that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.

Now [when it] was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing to him all those {who were sick} and those who were demon-possessed.

And Simon and those [who were] with him searched diligently for him.

And [when] Jesus heard [it], he said to them, "Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those {who are sick}. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave [it] to those who were with him?"

For he had healed many, so that all those who {were suffering from diseases} pressed about him in order that they could touch him.

And he went up on the mountain and summoned [those] whom he wanted, and they came to him.

And looking around at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers!

And when he was alone, those around him together with the twelve began asking him about the parables.

And he said to them, "To you has been granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is in parables,

And those are the ones sown on the good soil, who hear the word and receive [it] and bear fruit--one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred [times as much]."

And those who had seen [it] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.

And they began laughing at him. But he sent [them] all out [and] took along the father and mother of the child, and those [who were] with him, and went in to where the child was.

And he said to them, "You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time." For those [who were] coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.

And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

They ran about [through] that whole region and began to carry around those {who were sick} on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was.

And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,

And he said to them, "Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power."

And Jesus looked around [and] said to his disciples, "How {difficult it is for} those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

but to sit at my right hand or at [my] left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared."

And Jesus called them to himself [and] said to them, "You know that those who are considered to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their [people] in high positions exercise authority over them.

And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

And those who went ahead and those who were following were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple [courts] [and] began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple [courts], and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.

But those tenant farmers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours!'

And summoning his disciples, he said to them, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all those who put [offerings] into the contribution box.

"But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be" (let the one who reads understand), "then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

And woe to those {who are pregnant} and to those who are nursing [their babies] in those days!

For [in] those days there will be tribulation of such a kind as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will happen.

"But in those days, after that tribulation, 'the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,

And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild [it] in three days,

Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.

She went out [and] announced [it] to those who were with him [while they] were mourning and weeping.

And those, [when they] heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, refused to believe [it].

And later, [while] they were reclining at table, he appeared to the eleven. And he reprimanded their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him [after he] had been raised.
