Then they went to Capernaum. When the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.

When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed.

Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.

When they found him, they said, "Everyone is looking for you."

Now after some days, when he returned to Capernaum, the news spread that he was at home.

When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus. Then, after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

Now immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts, he said to them, "Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?

When the experts in the law and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

When Jesus heard this he said to them, "Those who are healthy don't need a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

But the days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and at that time they will fast.

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

how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the sacred bread, which is against the law for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?"

Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan River, and around Tyre and Sidon a great multitude came to him when they heard about the things he had done.

When his family heard this they went out to restrain him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, it withered.

When he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

But they have no root in themselves and do not endure. Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.

And when the grain is ripe, he sends in the sickle because the harvest has come."

It is like a mustard seed that when sown in the ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in the ground --

when it is sown, it grows up, becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birds can nest in its shade."

On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go across to the other side of the lake."

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.

When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.

Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,

When he entered he said to them, "Why are you distressed and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep."

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?

But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!"

because Herod stood in awe of John and protected him, since he knew that John was a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard him, he was thoroughly baffled, and yet he liked to listen to John.

But a suitable day came, when Herod gave a banquet on his birthday for his court officials, military commanders, and leaders of Galilee.

When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you."

When John's disciples heard this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

When it was already late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an isolated place and it is already very late.

He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five -- and two fish."

When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land.

When they saw him walking on the water they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,

And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and dining couches.)

Now when Jesus had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.

After Jesus left there, he went to the region of Tyre. When he went into a house, he did not want anyone to know, but he was not able to escape notice.

When he learned of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you arguing about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?" They replied, "Twelve."

"When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?" They replied, "Seven."

For if anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more except Jesus.

When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and experts in the law arguing with them.

When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran at once and greeted him.

So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."

But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Now when the other ten heard this, they became angry with James and John.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

After noticing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.

When they came they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and do not court anyone's favor, because you show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?"

There were seven brothers. The first one married, and when he died he had no children.

In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her."

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"

When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Then no one dared any longer to question him.

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

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

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.

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

So also you, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, right at the door.

Watch out! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time will come.

Stay alert, then, because you do not know when the owner of the house will return -- whether during evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn --

or else he might find you asleep when he returns suddenly.

When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

Then, when it was evening, he came to the house with the twelve.

I tell you the truth, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

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

When Judas arrived, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him.

When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked directly at him and said, "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus."

When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."

When they had finished mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him.

Now when it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

When some of the bystanders heard it they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah!"

Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"

When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and given him support. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were there too.

Now when evening had already come, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

When Pilate was informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices so that they might go and anoint him.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.

And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
