In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah,

All their neighbors were filled with fear, and throughout the entire hill country of Judea all these things were talked about.

Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth,

So Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

Jesus said to them, "No doubt you will quote to me the proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself!' and say, 'What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, do here in your hometown too.'"

They got up, forced him out of the town, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.

Now on one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem), and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a reason to accuse him.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave.

and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Heal the sick in that town and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come upon you!'

But I will warn you whom you should fear: Fear the one who, after the killing, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!

So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

And in hell, as he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far off with Lazarus at his side.
