As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove.

Then they were all amazed, so they began to argue with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

So He went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He got up, went out, and made His way to a deserted place. And He was praying there.

Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

“I tell you: get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

Immediately he got up, picked up the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Then, moving on, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” So he got up and followed Him.

Then He went up the mountain and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him.

“On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man’s house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will rob his house.

As he sowed, this occurred: Some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn’t have much soil, and it sprang up right away, since it didn’t have deep soil.

When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it didn’t have a root, it withered.

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn’t produce a crop.

And when sown, it comes up and grows taller than all the vegetables, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”

But He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him up and said to Him, “Teacher! Don’t You care that we’re going to die?”

He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And they were terrified and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

Immediately the girl got up and began to walk. (She was 12 years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.

So he swore oaths to her: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Then they picked up 12 baskets full of pieces of bread and fish.

He got up and departed from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, but He could not escape notice.

Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”).

He looked up and said, “I see people—they look to me like trees walking.”

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transformed in front of them,

He replied to them, “You unbelieving generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to Me.”

But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.

“Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death. Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles,

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up; He’s calling for you.”

He threw off his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up.

I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

Then brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and put them to death.

For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and will perform signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

Then He said to them, “My soul is swallowed up in sorrow —to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”

And He said, “Abba, Father! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

Get up; let’s go! See—My betrayer is near.”

So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi!”—and kissed Him.

Some stood up and were giving false testimony against Him, stating,

Then the high priest stood up before them all and questioned Jesus, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?”

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time, and Peter remembered when Jesus had spoken the word to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” When he thought about it, he began to weep.

As soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin. After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.

But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.

When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

Looking up, they observed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away.

they will pick up snakes; if they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.”

Then after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
