People from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, being baptized by him while they confessed their sins.

While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen.

In the morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus got up and went to a deserted place and prayed there.

Jesus replied, "The wedding guests can't fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they can't fast.

Then Jesus began to teach again beside the sea. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while the entire crowd remained beside the sea on the shore.

He began teaching them many things in parables. While he was teaching them he said,

He sleeps and gets up night and day while the seeds sprout and grow, although he doesn't know how

While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader's home and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?"

He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

Jesus immediately had his disciples get into a boat and cross to Bethsaida ahead of him, while he sent the crowd away.

When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while he was alone on the land.

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

So they went and found the colt outside in the street tied up next to a doorway. While they were untying it,

Many people spread their coats on the road, while others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.

While they were walking along early the next morning, they saw the fig tree dried up to its roots.

Then they went into Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking in the Temple, the high priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him

While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked, "How can the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?

While Jesus was in Bethany sitting at the table in the home of Simon the leper, a woman arrived with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made from pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "I tell all of you with certainty, one of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me."

While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to them, saying, "Take some. This is my body."

Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and he told his disciples, "Sit down here while I pray."

Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.

While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's servant girls came by.

Again he denied it. After a little while, the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, "Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!"

They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.

Finally he appeared to his eleven disciples while they were eating. He rebuked them for their unbelief and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen.

Then his disciples went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the signs that accompanied it.
