And Joseph, [when he] woke up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and he took his wife

When they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said, "Wake up! Take the child and his mother and make your escape to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you to leave. For Herod is going to look for the child in order to make away with him."

and said, "Wake up! Take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."

Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments and teach men so, shall be the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and each them, he shall be great in the kingdom of heaven.

"You have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You are not to commit murder,' and, "Whoever murders will be subject to punishment.'

"Again, you have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You must not swear an oath falsely,' but, "You must fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'

“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

For each one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, it shall be opened.

And they came [and] woke him, saying, "Lord, save [us]! We are perishing!"

And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but [only] those who are sick.

When, however, the crowd had been driven out, he went in and took her hand, and the little girl woke up.

“To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other:

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

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

“A battered reed He will not break,
And a smoldering wick He will not extinguish,
Until He leads justice to victory.

For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned."

Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "I feel deeply moved over this crowd, because they have continued listening to me for three days now, and have nothing [left] to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry because they will become weak along the way."

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

"Alas for the world because of causes of falling! They cannot but come, but alas for each man through whom they come!

so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'

And when they who came to work about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.

And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.

"Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass used to the yoke."

But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other 'Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.'

They answered him, "He will bring terrible destruction on those evil men and will lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will deliver the crops to him each harvest time."

And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will betray each other and will hate each other.

Two women will be grinding grain at a millstone [Note: This was a hand-operated device where two persons sat across from each other and rotated a circular stone over kernels of grain]; one will be taken, while the other one will be left.

Wake, therefore, because ye know not what hour your master will come.

Then all those virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.

"For the kingdom of heaven is similar to a man who planned to go on a trip to a distant country, so called his servants and entrusted to each of them a large sum of money [Note: The narrative that follows suggests that the man was turning over some of his assets to financial managers to invest for him].

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.

Now after a long time the master of these servants returned [from his trip] and proceeded to go over his accounts with each of them.

And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from each other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee?

I was a stranger, and ye did not take me in, naked, and ye did not clothe me, weak, and in prison, and ye did not come to help me.

Then they will also answer, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or weak, or in prison, and did not serve thee?

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread (Passover Week) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

And they were exceeding sorrowful and began each of them to say to him,

And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it I, Lord?

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Now at each feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd--the one whom they wanted.

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

teaching them to obey everything that I've commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age."

saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

All the people were so stunned that they kept saying to each other, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He tells even the unclean spirits what to do, and they obey him!"

Very early in the morning, [even] before daylight, Jesus woke up, left Simon's house [verse 29] and went out to a deserted place where He prayed.

And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts?

When Jesus heard this, He said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, but [only] those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners [who recognize their sin and humbly seek forgiveness].”

and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, 'Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?'

And he woke up [and] rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Be quiet! Be silent!" And the wind abated and there was a great calm.

But they were overawed and said to each other, "Whatever can he be, when the very wind and sea obey him?"

Each night and every day among the tombs and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”

Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;" that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!"

And if I send them home hungry they will become weak on the way, because some of them have come a long distance."

And they deliberated among each other, saying, We have no loaves.

And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."

And they were silent; for they had disputed with each other on the way as to who was the greatest.

Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other."

And they were astonished out of measure, saying to each other, Who then can be saved?

Then Jesus entered the Temple in Jerusalem, and after looking around at everything [there], He left for Bethany with the twelve apostles, since it was evening by then. [Note: Jesus stayed overnight at Bethany during the week prior to His crucifixion. See verse 19].

And each evening He left the city [of Jerusalem, and went to Bethany for the night].

But these husbandmen said to each other, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.

A poor widow came and threw in two small copper coins [Note: These two coins each amounted to about ten minutes' worth of a farm laborer's pay, or about one dollar in 1994]. The total she gave was equivalent to a larger coin [i.e., worth twice as much].

It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

Now the Passover Festival and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were held two days later. [Note: This was the annual Jewish Festival week commemorating Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage under Moses' leadership. The unleavened bread was specially baked bread containing no yeast, which was eaten for seven days as part of the celebration]. And the leading priests and experts in the law of Moses were looking for a way to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.

Now on the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread [i.e., the beginning of the Passover Festival week], when they sacrificed the Passover [lamb], Jesus' disciples said to Him, "Where do you want us to go to make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn't agree with each other.

Now at each feast he customarily released for them one prisoner whom they requested.

And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.

And in the same manner also, the chief priests mocking him, among each other, with the scribes, said, He saved others, himself he cannot save.

And Pilate wondered if he were already dead: and having called the centurion, he asked him if he had been dead long ago.

And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

They had been asking each other, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"

So they went out, and ran from the tomb, for they were trembling and amazed; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid??9 Now after his resurrection, early on the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

A week later they met to circumcise the child, and were about to call him 'Zechariah' after his father,

just as he promised long ago through the mouth of his holy prophets

And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:

And it came to pass, as the angels went from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said also to each other, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath happened, which the Lord hath made known to us.

“Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

And they were all amazed, and talked with each other, saying, What word is this, that with authority and power he commands the impure spirits, and they come out?

And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them his hands having put, did heal them.

The others were furious and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.

"For there is not good tree which bears worthless fruit, nor again any worthless tree which bears good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit.

For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to each other:

We played the flute for you,
but you didn’t dance;
we sang a lament,
but you didn’t weep!

And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable:

and coming to him they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And having feared, they wondered, saying to each other, Who then is this man, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me.”

And he said unto them, 'Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.

For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen."
