And for some time He preached in the synagogues in Galilee.

And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"

how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"

and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.

All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God--some saying, "A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us." Others said, "God has not forgotten His People."

"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.

But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"

"Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."

While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."

And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.

Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,

by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.

"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."

I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."

But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."

Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that of Jonah.

"For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'

lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.

when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"

And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last."

Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."

"When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked,

"'No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; 'but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'

"'If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, 'they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"

And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men, and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.

Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."

And day after day He taught in the Temple, while the High Priests and the Scribes were devising some means of destroying Him, as were also the leading men of the people.

So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.

Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection)

Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."

When some were remarking about the Temple, how it was embellished with beautiful stones and dedicated gifts, He said,

You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, friends; and some of you they will put to death.

After an interval of about an hour some one else stoutly maintained: "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for in fact he is a Galilaean."

To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.

And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.

And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,

Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see."
