Soon afterwards He chanced to go to a town called Nain, and His disciples and a great throng of people were going along with Him.

Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.

And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

And all the people that heard, and the publicans, justified God and were baptised with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?

{For this reason} I tell you, her sins--[which were] many--have been forgiven, for she loved much. But [the one] to whom little is forgiven loves little."

And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?

"A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path, and were trodden down, and the wild birds ate them up.

His disciples were asking Him what this story meant.

But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

Now his mother and brothers came to him, and they were not able to meet with him because of the crowd.

And it came to pass on one of the days, He and His disciples went into a ship. And He said to them, Let us go to the other side of the lake. And they were embarked.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water , and were in jeopardy.

And he said to them, "Where [is] your faith?" But they were afraid [and] were astonished, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water and they obey him?"

[Finally] they arrived at the district of the Gerasenes, which is opposite [i.e., across the lake from the province of] Galilee. [Note: Matt. 8:28 says 'Gadara.' Geresa and Gadara were two towns about twelve miles apart in the same region east of Lake Galilee].

For Jesus was commanding the evil spirits to be driven out of the man, because they had been controlling him for a long time.

And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come into his house;

Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.

And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

And having turned to the disciples, he said, All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

Then He turned to His disciples when they were alone, and said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing.

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
