Some days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was in a house there;

And some people came bringing to him a paralyzed man, who was being carried by four bearers.

But some of the Teachers of the Law who were sitting there were debating in their minds:

How he went into the House of God, in the time of Abiathar the High Priest, and ate 'the consecrated bread,' which only the priests are allowed to eat, and gave some to his comrades as well?"

There was a crowd sitting round Jesus, and some of them said to him: "Look, your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you."

And presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.

Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, having no depth of soil, sprang up at once;

Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.

Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold."

'Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; And though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; Lest some day they should turn and be forgiven.'

Nothing is hidden unless it is some day to come to light, nor was anything ever kept hidden but that it should some day come into the light of day.

In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them: "Let us go across."

Before he had finished speaking, some people from the house of the President of the Synagogue came and said: "Your daughter is dead! Why should you trouble the Teacher further?"

"Come by yourselves privately to some lonely spot," he said, "and rest for a while"--for there were so many people coming and going that they had not time even to eat.

And they picked up enough broken pieces to fill twelve baskets, as well as some of the fish.

One day the Pharisees and some of the Teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus.

They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands 'defiled,' by which they meant unwashed.

Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

And if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will break down on the way; and some of them have come a long distance."

Here the Pharisees came out, and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for some sign from the heavens, to test him.

They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

"I tell you," he added, "that some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come in power."

When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd round them, and some Teachers of the Law arguing with them.

Presently some Pharisees came up and, to test him, asked: "Has a husband the right to divorce his wife?"

Some of the people were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

Some of the by-standers said to them: "What are you doing, untying the foal?"

Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs which they had cut from the fields;

Now the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law heard this and began to look for some way of putting Jesus to death; for they were afraid of him, since all the people were greatly impressed by his teaching.

He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others- -some they beat and some they killed.

Afterwards they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.

Next came some Sadducees--the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this--

Some of those who were present said to one another indignantly: "Why has the perfume been wasted like this?

While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said: "Take it; this is my body."

But Peter vehemently protested: "Even if I must die with you, I shall never disown you!" And they all said the same.

Again he went away, and prayed in the same words;

Presently some men stood up, and gave this false evidence against him--

Some of those present began to spit at him, and to blindfold his eyes, and strike him, saying, as they did so, "Now play the Prophet!" and even the police-officers received him with blows.

In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery:

Some of those standing round heard this, and said: "Listen! He is calling for Elijah!"

There were some women also watching from a distance, among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James the Little and of Joseph, and Salome--

When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some spices, so that they might go and anoint the body of Jesus.
