Now [when they] saw the star, they rejoiced [with] very great joy.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because {they exist no longer}."

the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned on them."

Rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in heaven, for in the [same] way they persecuted the prophets before you.

Therefore whoever abolishes one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps [them] and teaches [them], this person will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king.

And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, {let him have} your outer garment also.

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is remarkable? Do not the Gentiles also do the same?

And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed, and its fall was great."

Now [when] Jesus heard [this], he was astonished, and said to those who were following [him], "Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith with no one in Israel.

And behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being inundated by the waves, but he himself was asleep.

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

And [when] Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the disorderly crowd,

But when the crowd had been sent out, he entered [and] took her hand, and the girl got up.

And [when you] enter into the house, greet it.

And large crowds gathered close around him, so that he got into a boat to sit down, and all the crowd was standing on the shore.

And [although he] wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they looked upon him as a prophet.

And [as he] got out, he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them and healed their sick.

And summoning the crowd, he said to them, "Hear and understand:

Then Jesus answered [and] said to her, "O woman, your faith [is] great! Let it be done for you as you want." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

So then the crowd was astonished [when they] saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.

And Jesus summoned his disciples [and] said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry lest they give out on the way."

And the disciples said to him, "Where in [this] desolate place {can we get} so much bread that such a great crowd could be satisfied?"

And commanding the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground,

And [when they] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him

It will not be like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

And [as] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading [them] on the road.

But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet."

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!

For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And [while] he was still speaking, behold, Judas--one of the twelve--arrived, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Now at each feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd--the one whom they wanted.

So Pilate, [when he] saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but instead an uproar was developing, took water [and] washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this man. You see to [it]!"

Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make [it] as secure as you know how."

So they went with the guard of soldiers [and] made the tomb secure [by] sealing the stone.

And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up [and] rolled away the stone and sat down on it.

And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, [and] ran to tell his disciples.

And [while] they were going, behold, some of the guard of soldiers went into the city [and] reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

And [when] they were not able to bring [him] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And [after] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.

And he went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he began to teach them.

And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd from Galilee followed [him]. And from Judea

and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him [because they] heard all that he was doing.

And he told his disciples that a small boat should stand ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not press upon him.

And he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they were not even able to eat a meal.

And a crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers [are] outside looking for you."

And again he began to teach beside the sea, and a very large crowd was gathered to him, so that he got into a boat [and] sat on the sea, and the whole crowd was at the sea on the land.

And leaving the crowd, they took him along, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

And a great storm of wind developed, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already being filled [with water].

And he woke up [and] rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Be quiet! Be silent!" And the wind abated and there was a great calm.

And [after] Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea.

And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.

[When she] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind [him] [and] touched his cloak,

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself [that] power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd [and] said, "Who touched my clothing?"

And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say 'Who touched me?'"

And getting out [of the boat] he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep {without} a shepherd, and he began to teach them many [things].

And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself dismissed the crowd.

And summoning the crowd again, he said to them, "Listen to me, all [of you], and understand:

And when he entered into the house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.

adulteries, [acts of] greed, malicious [deeds], deceit, licentiousness, {envy}, abusive speech, pride, foolishness.

And he took him away from the crowd by himself [and] put his fingers into his ears, and [after] spitting, he touched his tongue.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,

"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat.

And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, [after he] had given thanks he broke [them] and began giving [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before [them]. And they set [them] before the crowd.

And summoning the crowd together with his disciples, he said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

And [when they] came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them.

And immediately the whole crowd, [when they] saw him, were amazed, and ran up to [him] [and] greeted him.

And one [individual] from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son who has {a spirit that makes him mute}.

Now [when] Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!"

But it is not like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

And they came to Jericho. And [as] he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.

But if we say, 'From men'"--they were afraid of the crowd, because they all looked upon John {as truly a prophet}.

And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him [and] went away.

David himself calls him 'Lord,' and how is he his son?" And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.

And he sat down opposite the contribution box [and] was observing how the crowd was putting coins into the contribution box. And many rich people were putting in many [coins].

And [as] he was going out of the temple [courts], one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, look! What great stones and what wonderful buildings!"

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not [one] stone will be left here on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.

And immediately, [while] he was still speaking, Judas--one of the twelve--arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, "[The one] whom I kiss--he is [the one]. Arrest him and lead [him] away under guard!"

And the crowd came up [and] began to ask him to do as he customarily did for them.

But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas instead.

So Pilate, [because he] wanted {to satisfy} the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And [after] he had Jesus flogged, he handed [him] over so that he could be crucified.

And they began to greet him, "Hail, king of the Jews!"

And the whole crowd of the people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or beer, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit [while he is] still in his mother's womb.

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

because the Mighty [One] has done great [things] for me, and holy [is] his name.

Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around him and hearing the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,

And [when they] did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof [and] let him down through the roof tiles with the stretcher into the midst [of them], in front of Jesus.

And Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining for the meal with them.

And he came down with them [and] stood on a level place, and a large crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast district of Tyre and Sidon,
