When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.

Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.

They were utterly astonished, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

And one of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;

When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”

But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.

And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a robbers’ den.”

for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people.”

For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

And He *sent two of His disciples and *said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.

“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he began to weep.

But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.

But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he kept making signs to them, and remained mute.

And they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called.

To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies,
Might serve Him without fear,

When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.”

When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.

But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.

John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs.

Those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was demon-possessed had been made well.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but He sent him away, saying,

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

But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well.”

On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.

An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest.

And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.

You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

plotting against Him to catch Him in something He might say.

And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God.

Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;

And He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.”

And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”

When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done.

The first appeared, saying, ‘Master, your mina has made ten minas more.’

The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, master, has made five minas.’

saying to them, “It is written, ‘And My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a robbers’ den.”

and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.

So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor.

The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.

And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.

(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water.”

And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables;

Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]

But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.

and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.”

For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

Then they *led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

“For it is written in the book of Psalms,
‘Let his homestead be made desolate,
And let no one dwell in it’;and,‘Let another man take his office.’

‘You have made known to me the ways of life;
