Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was grazing.

And some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes [by claiming the rights and prerogatives of God]!”

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign (attesting miracle) from You [proving that You are what You claim to be].”

and as he sowed, some seed fell beside the road [between the fields], and the birds came and ate it.

Other seed fell on good soil and yielded grain, some a hundred times as much [as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.

And they answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah, or [just] one of the prophets.”

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

On that day some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection [of the dead], came to Him and asked Him a question,

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

“Therefore, take notice, I am sending you prophets and wise men [interpreters, teachers] and scribes [men educated in the Mosaic Law and the writings of the prophets]; some of them you will kill and even crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues, and pursue and persecute from city to city,

But the foolish virgins said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’

Then they spat in His face and struck Him with their fists; and some slapped Him,

Then the words spoken by Jeremiah the prophet were fulfilled: “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him on whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel;

When some of the bystanders there heard it, they began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.”

While they were on their way, some of the [Roman] guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted [that it was really He].

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they told Him about her.

Jesus returned to Capernaum, and a few days later the news went out that He was at home.

But some of the scribes were sitting there debating in their hearts [the implication of what He had said],

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting [as a ritual]; and they came and asked Jesus, “Why are John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fasting, but Your disciples are not doing so?”

Then the Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians [to plot] against Him, as to how they might [fabricate some legal grounds to] put Him to death.

and as he was sowing, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

And those [in the last group] are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word [of God, the good news regarding the way of salvation] and accept it and bear fruit—thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much [as was sown].”

While He was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue official’s house, saying [to Jairus], “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher any longer?”

Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem and gathered around Him,

and they had seen that some of His disciples ate their bread with [ceremonially] impure hands, that is, unwashed [and defiled according to Jewish religious ritual].

If I send them away to their homes hungry, they will faint [from exhaustion] on the road; because some of them have come a long way.”

And Jesus said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste (experience) death before they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

Pharisees came to Jesus to test Him [intending to trick Him into saying something wrong], and asked Him, “Is it lawful [according to Scripture] for a man to divorce his wife and send her away?”

Some of the people who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”

The chief priests and the scribes heard this and began searching for a way to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, since the entire crowd was struck with astonishment at His teaching.

When the harvest season came he sent a servant to the tenants, in order to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

And he sent another, and that one they killed; then many others—some they beat and some they killed.

Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus in order to trap Him into making a statement [that they could use against Him].

Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Him, and began questioning Him, saying,

But there were some who were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

And some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy [by telling us who hit you]!” Then the officers took custody of Him and struck him in the face.

Some of the bystanders heard Him and said, “Look! He is calling for Elijah!”

Now some women also were watching from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome.

Some men came carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they tried to bring him in and lay him down in front of Jesus.

One Sabbath while Jesus was passing through fields of standing grain, it happened that His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely [with malicious intent], to see if He would [actually] heal [someone] on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse Him.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Him, asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.

And Jesus went with them. But when He was near the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof.

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary, called Magdalene [from the city of Magdala in Galilee], from whom seven demons had come out,

“The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky ate it up.

And some seed fell on [shallow soil covering] the rocks, and as soon as it sprouted, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

And some fell into good soil, and grew up and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” As He said these things, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words.”

Now Herod [Antipas] the tetrarch [who governed a portion of Palestine including Galilee and Perea] heard about all that was being done [by Jesus], and he was thoroughly perplexed, because it was said by some that John [the Baptist whom he had ordered beheaded] had been raised from the dead,

They answered, “John the Baptist, and some say, Elijah; but others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back to life.”

But I tell you truthfully, there are some among those standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

But some of them said, “He drives out demons by [the power of] Beelzebul (Satan), the ruler of the demons.”

For this reason also the wisdom of God said [in the Scriptures], ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will put to death and some they will persecute,

Just at that time some people came who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate [the governor] had mixed with their sacrifices.

And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

At that very hour some Pharisees came up and said to Him, “Leave and go away from here, because Herod [Antipas] wants to kill You.”

He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves and were confident that they were righteous [posing outwardly as upright and in right standing with God], and who viewed others with contempt:

Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples [for shouting these Messianic praises].”

Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time [to another country].

Now some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Him

Some of the scribes replied, “Teacher, you have spoken well [so that there is no room for blame].”

As some were talking about the temple, that it was decorated with beautiful stones and consecrated offerings [of magnificent gifts of gold which were displayed on the walls and hung in the porticoes], He said,

But you will be betrayed and handed over even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time because of what he had heard about Him, and was hoping to see some [miraculous] sign [even something spectacular] done by Him.

And also some of the women among us shocked us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women had said, but they did not see Him.”

Then He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter [of the banquet].” So they took it to him.

Therefore there arose a controversy between John’s disciples and a Jew in regard to purification (ceremonial washing).

In these porticoes lay a great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, withered, [waiting for the stirring of the water;

Do not think that I [am the One who] will accuse you before the Father. There [already] is one who accuses you: Moses, [the very one] in whom you have placed your hope [for salvation].

[Now some] other small boats from Tiberias had come in near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

But [still] there are some of you who do not believe and have faith.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Is this not the Man they want to kill?

Listening to these words, some of the people said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”

Others said, “This is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)!” But others said, “Surely the Christ is not going to come out of Galilee, is He?

Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Some said, “It is he.” Still others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man.”

Then some of the Pharisees said, “This Man [Jesus] is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner (a non-observant Jew) do such signs and miracles?” So there was a difference of opinion among them.

Some Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “Are we also blind?”

“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place [on the stone wall], that one is a thief and a robber.

But some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the blind man’s eyes, have kept this man from dying?”

But some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Now there were some Greeks (Gentiles) among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

Some thought that, since Judas [as the treasurer of the group] had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he was to give something to the poor.

Some of His disciples said to one another, “What does He mean when He tells us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I am going to My Father’?”

So Judas, having obtained the Roman cohort and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat (starboard) and you will find some.” So they cast [the net], and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great catch of fish.

But the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

and with his wife’s full knowledge [and complicity] he kept back some of the proceeds, bringing only a portion of it, and set it at the apostles’ feet.

to such an extent that they even carried their sick out into the streets and put them on cots and sleeping pads, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on one of them [with healing power].

But someone came and told them, “The men whom you put in prison are standing [right here] in the temple [area], teaching the people!”

However, some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (freed Jewish slaves), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and [the province of] Asia, rose up and questioned and argued with Stephen.

Then on the next day he suddenly appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?’

As they continued along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch exclaimed, “Look! Water! What forbids me from being baptized?”

and he took some food and was strengthened.

For several days [afterward] Saul remained with the disciples who were at Damascus.

So Peter invited them in and gave them lodging [for the night].

The next day Peter got up and left with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
