Therefore, this is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

Suddenly, a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat began to be swamped by the waves. Yet Jesus kept sleeping.

But the Pharisees kept saying, "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."

All the crowds were amazed and kept saying, "This man isn't the Son of David, is he?"

They kept begging him to let them touch just the tassel of his garment, and everyone who touched it was completely healed.

But he didn't answer her at all. Then his disciples came up and kept urging him, "Send her away, because she keeps on screaming as she follows us."

he took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks. Then he broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

As they began to discuss this among themselves, they kept saying, "We didn't bring along any bread."

The young man told him, "I have kept all of these. What do I still lack?"

Both the crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed him kept shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

The crowds kept saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, the man from Nazareth in Galilee."

But they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."

He asked, "What has he done wrong?" But they kept shouting louder and louder, "Let him be crucified!"

Those who passed by kept insulting him, shaking their heads,

In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

In a similar way, the bandits who were being crucified with him kept insulting him.

But the others kept saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him."

He kept proclaiming, "The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not worthy to bend down and untie his sandal straps.

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!"

But when the man left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the news so widely that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people kept coming to him from everywhere.

So the man got up, immediately picked up his mat, and went out in front of all of them. As a result, all of the people were amazed and began to glorify God as they kept on saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd kept coming to him, and he kept teaching them.

Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.

because he had healed so many people that everyone who had diseases kept crowding up against him in order to touch him.

When his family heard about it, they went to restrain him, because they kept saying, "He's out of his mind!"

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem kept repeating, "He has Beelzebul," and, "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."

With many other parables like these, Jesus kept speaking his message to them according to their ability to understand.

Overcome with fear, they kept saying to one another, "Who is this man? Even the wind and the sea obey him!"

He kept screaming night and day among the tombs and on the mountainsides, and kept cutting himself with stones.

He told him, "My name is Legion, because there are many of us." He kept pleading with Jesus not to send them out of that region.

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging him to let him go with him.

So Jesus went with him. A huge crowd kept following him and jostling him.

But he kept looking around to look at the woman who had done this.

They also kept driving out many demons and anointing with oil many who were sick, and healing them.

Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Jesus left that place and went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, not wanting anyone to know he was there. However, it couldn't be kept a secret.

Now the woman happened to be a Greek, born in Phoenicia in Syria. She kept asking him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

But he kept telling her, "First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies."

Jesus ordered the people not to tell anyone, but the more he kept ordering them, the more they kept spreading the news.

Amazed beyond measure, they kept on saying, "He does everything well! He even makes deaf people hear and mute people talk!"

So he ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to distribute. So they served them to the crowd.

They kept the matter to themselves but argued about what "rising from the dead" meant.

So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell on the ground and kept rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

But they kept silent, because they had argued on the road with one another about who was the greatest.

David himself calls him "Lord,' so how can he be his son?" And the large crowd kept listening to him with delight.

because they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."

But Peter kept saying emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!" And all the others kept saying the same thing.

Going on a little farther, he fell to the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

He kept repeating, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

But he kept silent and didn't answer at all. The high priest asked him again, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?"

Some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and kept hitting him with their fists and telling him, "Prophesy!" Even the servants took him and slapped him around.

The high priests kept accusing him of many things.

They kept hitting him on the head with a stick, spitting on him, kneeling in front of him, and worshiping him.

Those who passed by kept insulting him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days

In the same way, the high priests, along with the scribes, were also making fun of him among themselves. They kept saying, "He saved others, but can't save himself!

Let the Messiah, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, since seeing is believing!" Even the men who were crucified with him kept insulting him.

They kept saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"

Then his disciples went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the signs that accompanied it.

Meanwhile, the people kept waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed in the sanctuary so long.

But when he did come out, he was unable to speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept motioning to them but remained unable to speak.

Everyone who heard about it kept thinking what had happened and asked, "What will this child become?" because it was obvious that the hand of the Lord was with him.

Jesus' father and mother kept wondering at the things being said about him.

Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

The crowds kept asking him, "What, then, should we do?"

Overwhelmed with amazement, they all kept saying to one another, "What kind of statement is this? because with authority and power he gives orders to unclean spirits, and they come out!"

At daybreak he left and went to a deserted place, while the crowds kept looking for him. When they came to him, they tried to keep him from leaving them.

So his disciples went to him, woke him up, and kept telling him, "Master! Master! We're going to die!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. They stopped, and there was calm.

because Jesus was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spirit had seized the man, and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places.

Now the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging Jesus to let him go with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

"Go home and tell what God has done for you." So the man left and kept proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

Just then a synagogue leader by the name of Jairus arrived. He fell at Jesus' feet and kept begging him to come to his home,

Herod said, "I beheaded John. But who is this man I'm hearing so much about?" So Herod kept trying to see Jesus.

Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and kept giving them to the disciples to pass on to the crowd.

After the voice had spoken, Jesus was alone. The disciples kept silent and at that time told no one about what they had seen.

She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and kept listening to what he was saying.

So he told them, "Whenever you pray you are to say, "Father, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.

Others, wanting to test Jesus, kept asking him for a sign from heaven.

How terrible it will be for you experts in the Law! You have taken away the key to knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you kept out those who were trying to go in."

Shouldn't this woman, a descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

But they kept silent. So he took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.

Now all the tax collectors and sinners kept coming to listen to Jesus.

But the Pharisees and the scribes kept complaining, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, "Grant me justice against my adversary.'

The official replied, "I have kept all of these since I was a young man."

"Then the other servant came and said, "Sir, look! Here's your coin. I've kept it in a cloth for safekeeping

As he was riding along, people kept spreading their coats on the road.

Then he began teaching in the Temple every day. The high priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him,

And they kept insulting him in many other ways.

But they kept insisting, "He is stirring up the people with what he teaches all over Judea, from where he started in Galilee to this place."

But they kept pressing him with loud shouts, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their shouts began to prevail.

A large crowd of people followed him, including some women who kept mourning and wailing for him.

Jesus kept saying, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

Now one of the criminals hanging there kept insulting him, "You are the Messiah, aren't you? Save yourself"and us!"

But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.

Then they asked each other, "Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?"

They kept saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!"

and told him, "Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!"

John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People kept coming and were being baptized,

They kept telling the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."

So the Jewish leaders began persecuting Jesus, because he kept doing such things on the Sabbath.
