It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.

Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.

And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.

Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.

And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.

This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?

They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.

For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.

And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.

And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.

When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?

Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.

And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.

And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.

And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.

And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?

And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.

And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you.

But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?

And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.

And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.

Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

And when Jesus went back, the people were glad to see him, for they were all waiting for him.

For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near him.

And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.

And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.

While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping.

And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead.

And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.

And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, no stick or bag or bread or money, and do not take two coats.

And if you go into a house, let that house be your resting-place till you go away.

And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.

And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am?

For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;

Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.

And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,

And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.

Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.

And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,

Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.

And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.

Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:

For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?

And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.

But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:

Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
