Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.

But I tell you, don’t resist an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

“No one can be a slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot be slaves of God and of money.

Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them—this is the Law and the Prophets.

When Jesus saw large crowds around Him, He gave the order to go to the other side of the sea.

When He had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met Him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions: “Don’t take the road leading to other nations, and don’t enter any Samaritan town.

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

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”

Others fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.

Others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.

Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop: some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.

Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

and large crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, those unable to speak, and many others. They put them at His feet, and He healed them.

The disciples reached the other shore, and they had forgotten to take bread.

And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

When the other slaves saw what had taken place, they were deeply distressed and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.

When he went out about nine in the morning, he saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.

Then about five he went and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?’

“What do you want?” He asked her.

“Promise,” she said to Him, “that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right and the other on Your left, in Your kingdom.”

A very large crowd spread their robes on the road; others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

Then the man went to the other and said the same thing.

“‘I will, sir,’ he answered. But he didn’t go.

Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first group, and they did the same to them.

“He will completely destroy those terrible men,” they told Him, “and lease his vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at the harvest.”

Again, he sent out other slaves, and said, ‘Tell those who are invited: Look, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

And the others seized his slaves, treated them outrageously and killed them.

They do everything to be observed by others: They enlarge their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay a tenth of mint, dill, and cumin, yet you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. These things should have been done without neglecting the others.

He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

Then they spit in His face and beat Him; others slapped Him

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.

After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to view the tomb.

“On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man’s house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will rob his house.

Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn’t have much soil, and it sprang up right away, since it didn’t have deep soil.

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn’t produce a crop.

Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop that increased 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.”

Others are sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,

but the worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

On that day, when evening had come, He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.”

So they left the crowd and took Him along since He was already in the boat. And other boats were with Him.

Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.

When Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him while He was by the sea.

But others said, “He’s Elijah.” Still others said, “He’s a prophet—like one of the prophets.”

Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. And there are many other customs they have received and keep, like the washing of cups, jugs, copper utensils, and dining couches.)

You revoke God’s word by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other similar things.”

Then He left them, got on board the boat again, and went to the other side.

They answered Him, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”

When the other 10 disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.

Many people spread their robes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.

Then he sent another, and they killed that one. He also sent many others; they beat some and they killed some.

“Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers and give the vineyard to others.

“The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.”

In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking Him to one another and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself!

When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

Then, along with many other exhortations, he proclaimed good news to the people.

But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.”

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

Then Levi hosted a grand banquet for Him at his house. Now there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were guests with them.

If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. And if anyone takes away your coat, don’t hold back your shirt either.

Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.

“A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit; on the other hand, a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit.

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!

“A creditor had two debtors. One owed 500 denarii, and the other 50.

Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who were supporting them from their possessions.

Other seed fell on the rock; when it sprang up, it withered, since it lacked moisture.

Other seed fell among thorns; the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.

Still other seed fell on good ground; when it sprang up, it produced a crop: 100 times what was sown.” As He said this, He called out, “Anyone who has ears to hear should listen!”

One day He and His disciples got into a boat, and He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,

some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had risen.

They answered, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back.”

After this, the Lord appointed 70 others, and He sent them ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.

A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

And others, as a test, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven.

Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first.”

“But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of mint, rue, and every kind of herb, and you bypass justice and love for God. These things you should have done without neglecting the others.

“But when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ You will then be honored in the presence of all the other guests.

If not, while the other is still far off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.

No household slave can be the slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t be slaves to both God and money.”

And He told them: “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly admired by people is revolting in God’s sight.

I tell you, on that night two will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other will be left.

Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.

[Two will be in a field: One will be taken, and the other will be left.]”

“Two men went up to the temple complex to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this: ‘God, I thank You that I’m not like other people —greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.”

But when they heard this they said, “No—never!”

And they were saying many other blasphemous things against Him.

That very day Herod and Pilate became friends. Previously, they had been hostile toward each other.

Two others—criminals—were also led away to be executed with Him.

The people stood watching, and even the leaders kept scoffing: “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!”

But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment?

Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things.

Then He asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.

So they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?”

I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.
