and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and suddenly the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you do not dash your foot against a stone.'"

Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

"Do not lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through and steal;

So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.

And suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.

They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."

And he said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

And the men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

And just then they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up. Your sins are forgiven."

For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."

And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.

And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

"And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and look, something greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, someone greater than Solomon is here.

And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.

"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age.

which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the crowds.

And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

And after he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

But immediately he spoke to them, saying "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."

When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."

Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,

"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."

When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"

Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter."

Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.

Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."

But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."

The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"

For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

And Jesus shouted again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

And early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

And when they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.

Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'

"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."

And he arose immediately, and took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

And he said to the man with the withered hand, "Stand up in the middle."

And he went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.

And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.

And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some brought forth thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much."

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he does not know how.

yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."

And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"

And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.

And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.

And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum." which translated means, "Girl, I tell you, get up."

And immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

And he swore to her, "Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."

And when his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.

They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.

After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."

Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."

They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."
