And behold, there came a man named Jairus: and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house,

And a woman who for twelve years had had a hemorrhage, and had spent on doctors all that she had, but none had cured her,

And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee .

But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

So He said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you; go on in peace."

He yet speaking, there comes a certain of the ruler of the assembly, saying to him, That thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

When Jesus heard that, he answered to the maiden's father, saying, "Fear not. Believe only, and she shall be made whole."

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that'something be given her to eat.

And the father and the mother of her were astonished. But he warned them that they should tell no man, what was done.

Then called he the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and that they might heal diseases.

He said to them, "Do not take anything with you during your travels; not [even] a walking stick [Note: By comparing this and the restriction in Matt. 10:10, with the permission given in Mark 6:8, the harmony seems to be "if you do not already have a walking stick, do not get one"], or a traveling bag [for personal belongings], or food, or money, or [even] two coats [Note: Mark 6:9 says, "take only one coat" confirming the idea that Jesus was saying, in effect, "do not take anything extra, go just as you are"].

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

And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

And [when they] returned, the apostles described to him all that they had done. And he took them along [and] withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.

But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured.

And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place.

But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others'say , Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell no man that thing,

saying that the son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the elders, and of the high priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again.

for whoever would save his life, shall lose it: and he that would lose his life, out of love to me, shall save it.

For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and in that of the Father, and of the holy angels.

But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

And it came to pass, while he was praying, that, the appearance of his face, was changed, and, his clothing, became white, effulgent.

who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,

Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it happened that as they were going away from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good [for] us to be here. And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah," not knowing what he was saying.

And from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my Son, my Chosen! Listen to him!"

And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

Now it happened that on the next day, [when] they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, "Master, I beseech thee behold my son, for he is all that I have:

and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

And I begged your disciples that they would expel it, and they were not able [to do so]."

So they all continued to be utterly astounded at the greatness of God. Now while everybody was wondering at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,

give attention to what I now say, namely, that the son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.

But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

But Jesus, as He knew that the controversy was going on in their hearts, took a little child and had it stand by His side.

and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.

And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

Jesus said unto him, "No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh back, is apt to the kingdom of God."

After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his Messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.

And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

Remember that I am sending you out as lambs into the midst of wolves.

Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace [that is, a blessing of well-being and prosperity, the favor of God] to this house.’

If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting of peace will remain with him. But if that's not the case, your greeting will come back to you.

And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

But whatever town you enter that does not welcome you, go out into its streets and say [to them],

Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

I have authoriz'd you to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and triumph over all the power of the enemy; so that nothing shall be capable of doing you any mischief.

Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

to whom he answered, how does the law run in that case? what do you find?

"You have answered right," said Jesus; "do that, and you shall live."

And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

In the same way, a Levite [Note: Levites were assistants to the priests], when coming to that place and seeing the [injured] man, also went around him on the opposite side [of the road].

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,

On the next day, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'

Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Give us each day the bread that we shall need;

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Jesus also said to them: "Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say 'Friend, lend me three loaves,

And that one will answer from inside [and] say, 'Do not cause me trouble! The door has already been shut and my children are with me in bed! I am not able to get up to give you [anything].'

I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or, if he asks [him] for an egg, will give him a scorpion [instead]? [Note: While at rest a scorpion rolls up in a ball that resembles an egg].

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

And he was casting out a demon that was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled.

But some of them said, "It is with the help of Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that He is driving the demons out."

And others, that they might tempt him, asked of him a sign from heaven.

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom that was divided against itself is made desolate, and a house against a house falls.

If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

Because ye say, that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. And if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?
