So he went all through Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out the demons.

As they could not get him near Jesus on account of the crowd, they broke open the roof just over his head, and through the opening they lowered the mat with the paralytic lying on it.

He happened to be passing through the wheat fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick the heads of wheat as they made their way through.

When the Sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue. And the people were astonished when they heard him, and said, "Where did he get all this? How does he come to have such wisdom? How are such marvelous things done through him?

Then he explained to them for the first time that the Son of Man must go through much suffering, and be refused by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and be killed, and rise again three days after.

And they left that place and made their way through Galilee, and he did not wish anyone to know it;

It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of God!"

and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the Temple.
