But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong [man] [and] plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong [man], and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

Truly I tell you, all of mankind's sins and the abusive language that they use in speaking against God [and men] can be forgiven.

But whoever speaks abusively against the Holy Spirit can never get forgiveness, but is guilty of a sin that has no end."

He answered them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables

Then He said to them: "If you do not understand this story, how, indeed, can you understand any of my stories?

but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or by what parable can we present it?

By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard-seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,

and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.

They were very much frightened, and said to one another, "Who can He be that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"

And they begged Him, "Send us among the hogs, so that we can get into them."

and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay Your hands on her so she can get well and live.”

for she kept saying, "If I can only touch His clothes, I shall get well."

Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding farms and villages [and] purchase something to eat for themselves."

But he answered, "Give them food yourselves." They said to him, "Can we go and buy forty dollars' worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"

And he said to them, "You splendidly ignore the commandment of God so that you can keep your tradition.

There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.

And He answered them, "Are you too without understanding yet? Do you not know that nothing from the outside that goes into a man can make him foul,

She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yd you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

He said to her, "If you can say that, go home; the demon has left your daughter."

I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,

But His disciples answered Him, "Where can anyone get bread enough here in this destitute place, to give these people plenty?"

Since you have eyes can you not see with them? Since you have ears can you not hear with them?

[So], He took hold of the blind man by his hand and brought him out of the village. When Jesus spit [and put His saliva] on his eyes [See 7:33 for a similar use of His saliva in healing] and placed His hands on him [for healing], He asked him, "Can you see anything?"

He looked up and said, "I can see people, for they look to me like trees, only they are moving about."

And He called the crowd to Him, along with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to be my follower, he should deny himself [i.e., of always having his own way] and accept his cross [i.e., his responsibilities, with all their difficulties] and then he can become my follower.

For what can a person give in exchange for his life?

and his clothing became radiant--extremely white, like no cloth refiner on earth can {make so white}.

and many a time it has thrown him into the fire or into the water, to destroy him. But if there is anything you can do for him, do pity us and help us!"

Jesus said to him, "If there is anything I can do! Everything is possible for him who has faith!"

And he said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer."

But Jesus said, "Forbid him not. For there is no man that shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

For whosoever may give you a cup of water in my name, because you are Christ's, truly I say unto you, can not lose his reward.

And if thy hand may offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life maimed, rather than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that can not be quenched.

And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched:

Everyone must be seasoned with fire. Salt is a good thing, but if salt loses its strength, how can you season it again?

Salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

Truly, I say unto you, Whosoever may not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, can not enter into it.

And they were very astounded, saying to one another, "And who can be saved?"

But Jesus said unto them, "Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I shall drink of? And be baptised in the baptism that I shall be baptised in?"

And they said unto him, "That we can." Jesus said unto them, "Ye shall drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and be baptised with the baptism that I shall be baptised in:

On the other hand, can we say, 'It was from men'?" For they were afraid of the people, because everybody thought that John was really a prophet.

But [because he] knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at [it]!"

And continuing, Jesus said [while] teaching in the temple [courts], "How can the scribes say that the Christ is David's son?

David himself called him Lord, so how can He be his son?" Most of the people liked to hear Him.

For false Christs and false prophets will appear, and they will show signs and wonders to mislead God's chosen people if they can.

For the poor you always have with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have me.

And on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go [and] prepare, so that you can eat the Passover?"

And wherever he enters a house [follow him inside and] say to the owner, 'The Teacher says, where is my guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'

And they began to show that they were hurt and to ask Him one by one, "It cannot be I, can it?"

And he continued to say the more positively, If it may behoove me to die with thee, I can never deny thee. And all continued to say likewise.

And they smote him on the oead with a cane, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees, did him homage.

It was nine o'clock in the morning and they crucified Him. [Note: John 19:14 indicates that the crucifixion took place about noon. This can be harmonized if we take Mark's account to mean when the entire process began].

besides the people that pass'd by, shook their heads, and impiously said: ah, you that can destroy the temple, and rebuild it in three days,

Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.

This 'Christ, the king of Israel,' let him now come down from the cross so we can see it and believe in him." And the thieves who were being crucified with Him also spoke abusively to Him.

And one ran and filling a sponge with vinegar, put it on a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

“How can I know this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”

At this she was startled; she thought to herself, whatever can this greeting mean?

But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no husband?"

for with God can nothing be impossible."

And all who heard it kept it in mind, asking one another-- "What can this child be destined to become?" For the Power of the Lord was with him.

Now, Master,
You can dismiss Your slave in peace,
as You promised.

And all mankind is to see how God can save!"

Produce, then, fruit that is consistent with the repentance that you profess, and do not even begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our forefather,' for I tell you, God can raise up descendants for Abraham even out of these stones.

Now as people's expectations were roused and as everybody thought to himself about John, "Can he be the Christ,"

And the devil said to him, "I will give you all this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want.

And it came to pass while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy. And having seen Jesus, having fallen on his face, he besought him, saying, Lord, if thou will, thou can make me clean.

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

Who can forgive sins but God only? And Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?

And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

Also no man that drinketh old wine, straightway can away with new, for he sayeth: the old is pleasanter."

And criticise not, and you can not be criticised. Condemn not, and you can not be condemned.

And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

How comes it, that you can see the mote in your brother's eye, and not see the beam that is in your own eye?

Or how can thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in thine eye, when thou thyself do not see the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou wil

Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.

For I also am a man [who was] placed under the authority [of others], and I have soldiers [who serve] under me. I can say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another one, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

When the Lord saw her, he felt compassion for her. He told her, "You can stop crying."

And he answered them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard. The blind are regaining their sight, the lame can walk, the lepers are being cured and the deaf can hear, the dead are being raised and good news is being preached to the poor.

So to what can I compare the men of this age, and what are they like?

And those who were reclining at the [dinner] table with Him began saying among themselves, "Who is this person who can even forgive sins?"

"And no one, [after] lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts [it] under a bed, but puts [it] on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

For there is no secret, which shall not be made, manifest; neither a hidden thing, which shall in anywise not be made known, or not come, where it can be seen.

Then He said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were frightened and astounded, and continued to say to one another, "Who can He be? For He gives orders even to the winds and the water, and they obey Him."

So Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who can this be about whom I hear such reports?" So he was trying to see Him.

Now the day began to be far spent, and the twelve came up [and] said to him, "Send away the crowd so that they can go into the surrounding villages and farms to obtain lodging and find provisions, because we are here in a desolate place.

and he said to them, do you yourselves give them something to eat. they replied, we can furnish only five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy provisions for all this people:

Then He said to everyone, "If anyone wants to be my follower, he should deny self [i.e., of always having its own way] and accept his cross [i.e., his responsibilities, with all their difficulties] everyday, and [then he can] become my follower.

And he said to them, I saw Satan as lightning fallen from heaven.Translation PDF from Google If you can fill in this text please contact e-sword Uers

forasmuch as, a friend of mine, hath come off a journey unto me, and I have not what I can set before him;

and he within should give this answer, don't trouble me now: the door is made fast, and my family are all in bed: I can't get up to supply you.

If ye then which are evil, can give good gifts unto your children: How much more shall the father of heaven give a holy spirit to them, that desire it of him?"
