The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, yea light dawned on those who sat in the land and the shadow of death.

And he was followed by great crowds from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from across the Jordan.

Therefore whoever relaxes a single one of these commands, were it even one of the least, and teaches men so, he will be ranked least in the Realm of heaven; but whoever obeys them and teaches them, he will be ranked great in the Realm of heaven.)

Be quick and make terms with your opponent, so long as you and he are on the way to court, in case he hands you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and you are thrown into prison;

nor by earth, for it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King;

He said to them, "Why are you afraid? How little you trust God!" Then he got up and checked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Then the disciples of John came up to him and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast a great deal, and your disciples do not fast?"

Now when Jesus reached the official's house and saw the flute-players and the din the crowd were making,

But after the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand, and the girl rose up.

and when the daemon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. Then the crowd marvelled; they said, "Such a thing has never been seen in Israel!"

but, as great crowds gathered to him, he entered a boat and sat down, while all the crowd stood on the beach.

So when he disembarked he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them he healed their sick folk.

Then he called the crowd and said to them, "Listen, understand this:

At that Jesus replied, "O woman, you have great faith; your prayer is granted as you wish." And from that hour her daughter was cured.

This made the crowd wonder, to see dumb people speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing.

Then Jesus called his disciples and said, "I am sorry for the crowd; they have been three days with me now, and they have nothing to eat. I will not send them away starving, in case they faint on the road."

The disciples said to him, "Where are we to get loaves enough in a desert to satisfy such a crowd?"

So he ordered the crowd to recline on the ground.

Then he sent the crowd away, got into the boat and went to the territory of Magadan.

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem and endure great suffering at the hands of the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and raised on the third day.

When they reached the crowd, a man came up and knelt to him.

But whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe in me, better for him to have a great mill-stone hung round his neck and be sunk in the deep sea.

When the young man heard that, he went sadly away, for he had great possessions.

but Jesus called them and said, "You know the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men overbear them:

not so with you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

As they were leaving Jericho a crowd followed him,

The crowd checked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "O Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!"

and the greater part of the crowd spread their clothes on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road.

And if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet."

They sent him their disciples with the Herodians, who said, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and that you teach the Way of God honestly and fearlessly; you do not court human favour.

for false Christs and false prophets will rise and bring forward great signs and wonders, so as to mislead the very elect, ??if that were possible.

Then the Sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven; then all tribes on earth will wail, they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with great power and glory.

But, to Pilate's great astonishment, he would not answer him a single word.

At festival time the governor was in the habit of releasing any one prisoner whom the crowd chose.

Now when Pilate saw that instead of him doing any good a riot was rising, he took some water and washed his hands in presence of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this good man's blood. It is your affair!"

Pilate said to them, "Take a guard of soldiers, go and make it as secure as you can."

So off they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the boulder and setting the guard.

But a great earthquake took place; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and went and rolled away the boulder and sat on it.

Then they ran quickly from the tomb in fear and great joy, to announce the news to his disciples.

and as they could not get near Jesus on account of the crowd they tore up the roof under which he stood and through the opening they lowered the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

Then he went out again by the seaside, and all the crowd came to him and he taught them.

So he told his disciples to have a small boat ready; it was to prevent him being crushed by the crowd,

but the crowd gathered again, so that it was impossible even to have a meal.

there was a crowd sitting round him, and he was told, "Here are your mother and brothers and sisters wanting you outside."

Once more he proceeded to teach by the seaside, and a crowd gathered round him greater than ever, so he entered a boat on the sea and sat down, while all the crowd stayed on shore.

so, leaving the crowd, they took him just as he was in the boat, accompanied by some other boats.

And he woke up, checked the wind, and told the sea, "Peace, be quiet." The wind fell and there was a great calm.

Now when Jesus had crossed in the boat to the other side again, a large crowd gathered round him; so he remained beside the sea.

So Jesus went away with him. Now a large crowd followed him; they pressed round him.

And there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years ??26 she had suffered a great deal under a number of doctors and had spent all her means but was none the better; in fact she was rather worse.

She heard about Jesus, got behind him in the crowd, and touched his robe;

Jesus was at once conscious that some healing virtue had passed from him, so he turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd are pressing round you, and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"

so the king at once sent one of the guard with orders to bring his head. The man went and beheaded him in the prison,

So when Jesus disembarked he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them, as they were like sheep without a shepherd, he proceeded to teach them at length.

Then he made the disciples at once embark in the boat and cross before him towards Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd;

Then he called the crowd to him again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand this:

Now when he went indoors away from the crowd, his disciples asked him the meaning of this parabolic saying.

So taking him aside from the crowd by himself, he put his fingers into the man's ears, touched his tongue with saliva,

In those days, when a large crowd had again gathered and when they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples and said to them,

"I am sorry for the crowd; they have been three days with me now, and they have nothing to eat.

So he ordered the crowd to recline on the ground, and taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out. They served them out to the crowd,

And he proceeded to teach them that the Son of man had to endure great suffering, to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, to be killed and after three days to rise again;

Then he called the crowd to him with his disciples and said to them, "If anyone wishes to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and so follow me;

He said to them, "Elijah does come first, to restore all things; but what is written about the Son of man as well? This, that he is to endure great suffering and be rejected.

When they reached the disciples they saw a large crowd round them, and some scribes arguing with them.

On seeing him the whole crowd was thunderstruck and ran to greet him.

A man from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you; he has a dumb spirit,

Now as Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, he checked the unclean spirit. "Deaf and dumb spirit," he said, "leave him, I command you, and never enter him again."

And whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck and be thrown into the sea.

But his face fell at that, and he went sadly away, for he had great possessions.

so Jesus called them and said, "You know the so-called rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men overbear them:

not so with you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a considerable crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind beggar who sat beside the road,

They came up and said to him, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and fearless; you do not court human favour, you teach the Way of God honestly. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

Jesus said to him, "You see these great buildings? Not a stone shall be left on another, without being torn down."

Then they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Now when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, lying at table, a woman came up with an alabaster flask of pure nard perfume, which had cost a great sum; the flask she broke and poured the perfume over his head.

So the crowd pressed up and started to ask him for his usual boon.

But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Bar-Abbas for them instead.

So, as Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, he released Bar-Abbas for them; Jesus he handed over to be crucified, after he had scourged him.

for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, he will drink neither wine nor strong drink, he will be filled with the holy Spirit from his very birth;

He will be great, he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father;

for He who is Mighty has done great things for me. His name is holy,

When her neighbours and kinsfolk heard of the Lord's great mercy to her they rejoiced with her,

There were some shepherds in the district who were out in the fields keeping guard over their flocks by night;

but the angel said to them, "Have no fear. This is good news I am bringing you, news of a great joy that is meant for all the People.

I tell you for a fact, In Israel there were many widows during the days of Elijah, when the sky was closed for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land:

Now as the crowd were pressing on him to listen to the word of God, he saw, as he stood beside the lake of Gennesaret,

but when they could not find any means of getting him in, on account of the crowd, they climbed to the top of the house and let him down through the tiles, mattress and all among the people in front of Jesus.

Levi held a great banquet for him in his house; there was a large company present of taxgatherers and others who were guests along with them.

With them he came down the hill and stood on a level spot. There was a great company of his disciples with him, and a large multitude of people from all Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to get cured of their diseases.

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

He who has listened and has not obeyed is like a man who built a house on the earth with no foundation; the river dashed against it and it collapsed at once, and the ruin of that house was great."

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.

Just as he was near the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out; he was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the town were with her.

All were seized with awe and glorified God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said, "God has visited his people."

Therefore I tell you, many as her sins are, they are forgiven, for her love is great; whereas he to whom little is forgiven has but little love."

As a large crowd was gathering and as people were resorting to him from town after town, he addressed them in a parable.
