Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Jesus healed him so that he could speak and see.

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds.

Then large crowds came to him bringing with them the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others. They laid them at his feet, and he healed them.

Immediately she hurried back to the king and made her request: "I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately."

Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the crowd.

People were completely astounded and said, "He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

A member of the crowd said to him, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that makes him mute.

Now on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

Now an argument started among the disciples as to which of them might be the greatest.

So the first one came before him and said, 'Sir, your mina has made ten minas more.'

He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them.

But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
