But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,

and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.

If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.”

And Jesus was saying to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.

Some of the bystanders were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”

At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.”

There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.
