They were all amazed so that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him."

He replied, "Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do."

So the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?"

He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry --

And he said to them, "Take care about what you hear. The measure you use will be the measure you receive, and more will be added to you.

For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."

He also asked, "To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?

Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

Now the herdsmen ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

Those who had seen what had happened to the demon-possessed man reported it, and they also told about the pigs.

But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, "Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you."

So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed.

Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

But Jesus, paying no attention to what was said, told the synagogue ruler, "Do not be afraid; just believe."

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. Many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did he get these ideas? And what is this wisdom that has been given to him? What are these miracles that are done through his hands?

So she went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother said, "The head of John the baptizer."

There is nothing outside of a person that can defile him by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles him."

He said, "What comes out of a person defiles him.

For what benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his life?

What can a person give in exchange for his life?

(For they were afraid, and he did not know what to say.)

As they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

They kept this statement to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.

He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"

Then they came to Capernaum. After Jesus was inside the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Now as Jesus was starting out on his way, someone ran up to him, fell on his knees, and said, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I experience?"

Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied, "Rabbi, let me see again."

Some people standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"

I tell you the truth, if someone 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.

and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

For they all gave out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had."

"Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that all these things are about to take place?"

When they arrest you and hand you over for trial, do not worry about what to speak. But say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!"

She did what she could. She anointed my body beforehand for burial.

I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

When he came again he found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. And they did not know what to tell him.

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?"

You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?" They all condemned him as deserving death.

But he denied it: "I don't even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

So Pilate spoke to them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?"

Pilate asked them, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they shouted more insistently, "Crucify him!"

Then they crucified him and divided his clothes, throwing dice for them, to decide what each would take.
