Then all the people around the district of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were gripped with great fear. So, He entered a boat and returned.

And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.

He said to them, "Do not take anything with you during your travels; not [even] a walking stick [Note: By comparing this and the restriction in Matt. 10:10, with the permission given in Mark 6:8, the harmony seems to be "if you do not already have a walking stick, do not get one"], or a traveling bag [for personal belongings], or food, or money, or [even] two coats [Note: Mark 6:9 says, "take only one coat" confirming the idea that Jesus was saying, in effect, "do not take anything extra, go just as you are"].

Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the area.

And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert place.

But Jesus said: "It is for you to give them something to eat." "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes," they answered; "unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people."

And it happened while Jesus was praying off by Himself that His disciples joined Him. He asked them, saying, "Who are the crowds saying that I am?"

"John the Baptist," was their answer; "others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old Prophets has risen again."

but who, said he, do you think I am? Peter answered, you are the Messiah of God.

And I tell you of a certainty, there are some of those who stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said unto Jesus, it is well that we are here, and we will make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

And when his disciples, James and John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:

And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'

And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

And He said unto them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few: pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He would send out workmen to his harvest.

Stay at the same house, eating and drinking what the people provide (for the workman deserves his wages); you are not to shift from one house to another.

Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you;

and heal those in it that are sick, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come unto you.

But wherever you are not received on entering any town, go out into the streets of the town and cry,

‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you [breaking all ties]; yet understand this, that the kingdom of God has come near [and you rejected it].’

And you, Capernaum, are you to be exalted to heaven? No, you are to go down to the regions of the dead.

And the seventy returned with joy saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name.

However rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, that your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered to me by my Father: and none knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son; and he to whom the Son pleaseth to reveal Him.

And turning to the disciples, He said to them in particular, Blessed are the eyes that see what ye see:

Jesus said to him, "You are right. Do that, and you will live."

Next morning he took out a couple of shillings and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Attend to him, and if you are put to any extra expense I will refund you on my way back.'

But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:

But few [things] are necessary, or [only] one [thing], for Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."

And he said unto them - Whensoever ye are praying, say - Father! Hallowed be thy name, Come may thy kingdom,

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

I tell you, though he will not get up and give you anything because you are a friend of his, he will at least rise and give you whatever you want, because you persist.

And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.

If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

And, if, even Satan, against himself hath become divided, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye are saying that, in Beelzebul, am I casting out the demons.

But, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, your judges.

Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself; and having entered, they dwell there : and the last things of that man are worse than the first.

As He was saying these things, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “The womb that bore You and the one who nursed You are blessed!”

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Now as the crowds continued to throng around Jesus, he went on to say, "This people living today are an evil generation. It craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah,

But no man lighting a lamp putteth it in a concealed place, or under a bushel, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light.

Then said the Lord unto him, Now ye Pharisees make the outside of the cup and of the dish clean, but your inward parts are full of extortion and wickedness.

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

"How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, spices, and every kind of herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

Here one of the Students of the Law interrupted him by saying: "Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also."

And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.

So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.

Yes, I tell you, this generation will be punished [for the death of the prophets], from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who died between the Altar and the sanctuary [i.e., in the Temple area]. [Note: This punishment began about

"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!' You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."

And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.

But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.

"And when they are bringing you before the synagogues and the rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you shall answer; or what you shall say;

because at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you are to say."

And then He said to them, "Be ever on the alert and always on your guard against every form of greed, because a man's life does not consist in his possessions, even though they are abundant."

But God said unto him - Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God."

To his disciples he said, "Therefore I tell you, do not trouble about what you are to eat in life, nor about what you are to put on your body;

For there are more important things in life than food, and [more important things about] your body than the clothing [you wear].

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

If then ye cannot do even the lest, why are ye so anxious about the rest?

Consider the white lilies, how they grow; they are not wearied, neither do they spin; and I say to you, neither was Solomon in all his glory clothed as one of these.

now if God thus cloaths the flowers, which exist to-day in the field, and to-morrow are thrown into the oven: how much more will he cloath you, O distrustful men?

So as for you, do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink; nor have an anxious and unsettled mind.

For after all these things are the nations of the world seeking; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?

For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.

And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes, - Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying - A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.

O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?

And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?

For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?

I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.

'Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?

I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

And when Jesus saw her, he said to her, Woman, you are made free from your disease.

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.

Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
