As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Here I send my messenger before your face to prepare the way for you:

Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with fever, so they told him at once about her,

and he went up to her and taking her hand made her rise; the fever left her at once and she ministered to them.

but he said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the adjoining country-towns, so that I may preach there as well; that is why I came out here."

there was a crowd sitting round him, and he was told, "Here are your mother and brothers and sisters wanting you outside."

with earnest entreaties. "My little girl is dying," he said, "do come and lay your hands on her that she may recover and live,"

And there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years ??26 she had suffered a great deal under a number of doctors and had spent all her means but was none the better; in fact she was rather worse.

And at once the hemorrhage stopped, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.

and the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward in fear and trembling and fell down before him, telling him all the truth.

He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be free from your complaint."

then he took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha koum" ??which may be translated, "Little girl, I am telling you to rise."

But he strictly forbade them to let anyone know about it, and told them to give her something to eat.

Is this not the joiner, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not his sisters settled here among us?" So they were repelled by him.

He swore to her, "I will give you whatever you want, were it the half of my realm."

So she went out and said to her mother, "What am I to ask?" "John the Baptizer's head," she answered.

The king was very vexed, but for the sake of his oaths and his guests he did not like to disappoint her;

brought his head on a dish, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

(the woman was a pagan, of Syrophoenician birth) begging him to cast the daemon out of her daughter.

He said to her, "Let the children be satisfied first of all; it is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

He said to her, "Well, go your way; the daemon has left your daughter, since you have said that."

So she went home and found the child lying in bed and the daemon gone from her.

I tell you truly," he said, to them, "there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the coming of God's Reign with power."

So Peter addressed Jesus, saying, "Rabbi, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"

They said, "Moses permitted a man to divorce her by writing out a separation notice."

and she is an adulteress if she divorces her husband and marries another man."

saying to them, "Go to the village in front of you. As soon as you enter it you will find a colt tethered, on which no one has ever sat; untether it and bring it here.

But these vinedressers said to themselves, 'Here is the heir; come on, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.'

the second took her and died without leaving any offspring: so did the third:

David here calls him Lord. Then how can he be his son?" Now the mass of the people listened with delight to him.

for they have all put in a contribution out of their surplus, but she has given out of her neediness all she possessed, her whole living."

For nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm; there will be earthquakes here and there, and famines too. All that is but the beginning of the trouble.

If anyone tells you at that time, 'Look, here is the Christ,' or, 'Look, there he is,' do not believe it;

But when that misery is past, in those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not yield her light,

This perfume might have been sold for over three hundred shillings, and the poor might have got that." So they upbraided her.

But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why are you annoying her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

I tell you truly, wherever the gospel is preached all over the world, men will speak of what she has done in memory of her."

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

he said to them, "My heart is sad, sad even to death; stay here and watch."

Then he came for the third time and said to them, "Still asleep? still resting? No more of that! The hour has come, here is the Son of man betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Come, get up, here is my betrayer close at hand."

but he said to them, "Do not be bewildered. You are looking for Jesus of Nazaret, who was crucified? He has risen, he is not here. That is the place where he was laid.

but although they heard he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
