When he did come out he could not speak to them, so they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary; he made signs to them and remained dumb.

He has done a deed of might with his arm, he has scattered the proud with their purposes,

Then they made signs to the father, to find out what he wanted the child to be called,

And the child grew, he became strong in the Spirit and remained in the desert till the day when he made his appearance before Israel.

So they made haste and discovered Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in the stall for cattle.

Every valley shall be filled up, every hill and mound laid low, the crooked made straight, the rough roads smooth;

John said to them all, "I baptize you with water, but after me one who is mightier will come, and I am not fit to untie the string of his sandals; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire.

and the devil said to him, "I will give you all their power and grandeur, for it has been made over to me and I can give it to anyone I choose.

But he made his way through them and went off.

When day broke he went away out to a lonely spot, but the crowds made inquiries about him, came to where he was, and tried to keep him from leaving them.

Then they made signals to their mates in the other boat to come and assist them. They came and filled both the boats, till they began to sink.

Indeed the whole of the crowd made efforts to touch him, for power issued from him and cured everybody.

When Jesus heard this he marvelled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed he said, "I tell you, I have never met faith like this anywhere even in Israel."

It was shortly afterwards that he made his way to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.

As he stepped out on land he was met by a man from the town who had daemons in him; for a long while he had worn no clothing, and he stayed not in a house but among the tombs.

The man whom the daemons had left begged that he might accompany him. Jesus, however, sent him away, saying,

"Daughter," he said to her, "your faith has made you well; depart in peace."

Herod said, "John I beheaded. But who is this, of whom I hear such tales?" And he made efforts to see him.

They did so, and made them all lie down.

Next day, when they came down the hill, a large crowd met him.

And he said to him, "Get up and go, your faith has made you well."

And Jesus said to him, "Regain your sight, your faith has made you well."

However he secured the royal power and came home. Then he ordered the servants to be called who had been given the money, that he might find out what business they had done.

The first came up saying, 'Your five pounds has made other fifty, sir.'

Then the second came and said, 'Your five pounds has made twenty-five, sir.'

"It is written," he told them, "my house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."

for I will give you words and wisdom that not one of your opponents will be able to meet or refute.

He said to them, "When you enter the city you will meet a man carrying a water-jar: follow him to the house he enters,

Then he went outside and made his way to the Hill of Olives, as he was accustomed. The disciples followed him,

Meantime the men who had Jesus in custody flogged him and made fun of him;

When day broke, the elders of the people all met along with the high priests and scribes, and had him brought before their Sanhedrin. They said to him,
