So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:

And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

"For I also am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me. And I say to one 'come,' and he comes, and to my slave 'do this or that,' and he does it."

And when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.

And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.

And it came to pass the next day, that he went into a city called Nain; and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, and a vast multitude.

Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And he went and touched the coffin, and they that bare him stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say unto thee, arise."

And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

And fear fell on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and that God hath looked down with mercy on his people.

And that word about Him went out in all Judea, and all the country round about.

and sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?

And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?

(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)

And Jesus answering said unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,

and happy is he that is not offended by me."

But when John's messengers had gone, He began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the desert to gaze at? A reed that is tossed to and fro by the wind?

a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?

a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

"Yes, I tell you and more than a prophet. This is he who it is written. "Behold I send a messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

for I tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he:)

---and all the people that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John;

They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.

For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying 'He has a demon in him';

And now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying 'Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax- gatherers and outcasts.'

It proves that [God's] wise counsel is right in the eyes of all of her children [i.e., in the eyes of people known for their wisdom]."

And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.

And behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,

And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.

But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.

Simon answered, and said, "I suppose that he to whom he forgave most." And he said unto him, "Thou hast truly judged."

You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time that I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

"This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at table with him said within themselves,

And they that sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith [in Me] has saved you; go in peace [free from the distress experienced because of sin].”

And it came to pass afterwards that He went through every city and village, preaching and declaring the good tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him;

and some women that had been cured of evil spirits and other infirmities, as Mary Magdalene, out of whom were cast seven demons,

And when a great multitude was gathered together, of those that came to Him out of every city, He spake a parable saying,

But some fell on good ground, and sprang up and yielded fruit an hundred-fold. And as He said these things He cried out, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

And He said, To you it is granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but I speak to others in parables, that in seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing.

Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.

And that which fell among thorns, are those who when they have heard the word go away and are choked with the cares and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

But that on the good ground, are those who having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a couch; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

(For there is nothing secret, that shall not be made manifest: nor any thing concealed, which shall not be made known and come to light.)

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.

And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.

And He answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God and do it.

And it came to pass on one of the days that He went into a ship, Himself and his disciples, and He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake.

So they set sail. While they were sailing he fell asleep. And there fell on the lake a squall of wind, so that the boat began to fill, and they to be in deadly peril.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him.

And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,

And as he went forth to land, there met him out of the city, a certain man that had had devils a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in an house, but in the tombs.

(For He commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)

And they besought Him that He would not command them to go into the abyss:

but as there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, they intreated Him that He would suffer them to enter into them, and He permitted them.

And when those that looked after them saw what was done they fled; and went and told it in city and country:

The people came out to see what had occurred and when they reached Jesus they discovered the man whom the daemons had left, seated at the feet of Jesus, clothed and sane. That frightened them.

and they were afraid, for those that saw it told them how the demoniac was healed.

And all the whole multitude of the country of the Gaderenites, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he gat him into the ship and returned back again.

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

"Return to your home and tell all that God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.

And it fortuned, when Jesus was come again, that the people received him. For they all waited for him.

And behold, there came a man named Jairus: and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house,

And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one,

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that touched me?

Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me.

And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

So He said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you; go on in peace."

He yet speaking, there comes a certain of the ruler of the assembly, saying to him, That thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

When Jesus heard that, he answered to the maiden's father, saying, "Fear not. Believe only, and she shall be made whole."

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

And the father and the mother of her were astonished. But he warned them that they should tell no man, what was done.

Then called he the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and that they might heal diseases.

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"].

And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place.

And whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;

and by some that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

And the apostles; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city Bethsaida.

But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure.

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.

Then he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes; unless we go somewhere and buy provisions for all this multitude:

And they did all eat, and were filled; and there were taken up of the fragments which were more than enough for them, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as He was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?

They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.

And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ the Son of God.

And strictly charging them, he commanded, that they should tell no man this:

saying that the son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the elders, and of the high priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again.

for he that would save his life shall lose it, but he that would lose his life for my sake shall save it.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory; and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.

And I assure you, there be some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

And it was about eight days after these discourses, that taking Peter, and John, and James, he went up into a mountain to pray.

And it came to pass, as he was at prayer, that the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and refulgent.

They had a glorified appearance, and were discussing Jesus' departure that he would shortly bring about in Jerusalem.

Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him.

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.
