Now it was in those days that Jesus arrived from Nazaret in Galilee and got baptized in the Jordan by John.

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "Those who are strong have no need of a doctor, but those who are ill: I have not come to call just men but sinners."

And glancing at those who were sitting round him in a circle he said, "There are my mother and my brothers!

As for those 'on the road,' when the seed is sown there ??as soon as they hear it, Satan at once comes and carries off the word sown within them.

Similarly those who are sown 'on stony soil' are the people who on hearing the word accept it with enthusiasm;

Another set are those who are sown 'among thorns'; they listen to the word,

As for those who were sown 'on good soil,' these are the people who listen to the word and take it in and bear fruit at the rate of thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."

And those who had seen it related to them what had happened to the lunatic and the swine.

In those days, when a large crowd had again gathered and when they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples and said to them,

I tell you truly," he said, to them, "there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the coming of God's Reign with power."

Jesus looked round and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have money to get into the Realm of God!"

The disciples were amazed at what he said; so he repeated, "My sons, how difficult it is [for those who rely on money] to get into the Realm of God!

and both those in front and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed be he who comes in the Lord's name!

Then they came to Jerusalem, and entering the temple he proceeded to drive out those who were buying and selling inside the temple; he upset the tables of the money-changers and the stalls of those who sold doves,

But whenever you see the appalling Horror standing where he has no right to stand (let the reader note this), then let those who are in Judaea fly to the hills;

Woe to women with child and to women who give suck in those days!

for those days will be days of misery, the like of which has never been from the beginning of God's creation until now ??no and never shall be.

Had not the Lord cut short those days, not a soul would be saved alive; but he has cut them short for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen.

But when that misery is past, in those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not yield her light,

This angered some of those present. "What was the use of wasting perfume like this?

Those who passed by scoffed at him, nodding at him in derision and calling, "Ha! You were to destroy the temple and build it in three days!

Let 'the Christ,' 'the king of Israel' come down now from the cross! Let us see that and we will believe!" Those who were crucified with him also denounced him.

She went and reported it to those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept;

Afterwards he appeared at table to the eleven themselves and reproached them for their unbelief and dulness of mind, because they had not believed those who saw him risen from the dead. [But they excused themselves, saying, "This age of lawlessness and unbelief lies under the sway of Satan, who will not allow what lies under the unclean spirits to understand the truth and power of God; therefore," they said to Christ, "reveal your righteousness now." Christ answered them, "The term of years for Satan's power has now expired, but other terrors are at hand. I was delivered to death on behalf of sinners, that they might return to the truth and sin no more, that they might inherit that glory of righteousness which is spiritual and imperishable in heaven."]
