And they saw that some of his disciples were eating their bread with unclean--that is, unwashed--hands.

And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they were imploring him that he would place his hand on him.

And his ears were opened and {his difficulty in speaking was removed} and he began to speak normally.

And they were amazed beyond all measure, saying, "He has done all [things] well! He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!"

And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets [full].

Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

(For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one [the things] that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

And immediately the whole crowd, [when they] saw him, were amazed, and ran up to [him] [and] greeted him.

And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able [to do so].

And it came out, screaming and convulsing [him] greatly, and he became as if [he were] dead, so that most [of them] said, "He has died!"

And [after] he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to expel it?"

But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.

And they came to Capernaum. And [after he] was in the house, he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way [about] who [was] greatest.

And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

And the disciples were astounded at his words. But Jesus answered [and] said to them again, "Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!

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

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

And those who went ahead and those who were following were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

And on the next day [as] they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry.

And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple [courts] [and] began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple [courts], and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.

But if we say, 'From men'"--they were afraid of the crowd, because they all looked upon John {as truly a prophet}.

And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him [and] went away.

And Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!" And they were utterly amazed at him.

There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And [when he] died, he did not leave descendants.

And he sat down opposite the contribution box [and] was observing how the crowd was putting coins into the contribution box. And many rich people were putting in many [coins].

Now after two days it was the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, [after] arresting him by stealth, they could kill [him].

But some were expressing indignation to one another: "Why has there been this waste of perfumed oil?

And [when] they heard [this], they were delighted, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how he could betray him conveniently.

And [while] they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you who is eating with me will betray me."

And [while] they were eating, he took bread [and], [after] giving thanks, he broke [it] and gave [it] to them and said, "Take [it], this is my body."

But he kept saying emphatically, "If it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And they all were saying the same [thing] also.

And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to pray that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from him.

And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to stay awake one hour?

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find [it].

And [when] she saw Peter warming himself, she looked intently at him [and] said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

And they repeatedly struck him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and {they knelt down} [and] did obeisance to him.

In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking [him] to one another, saying, "He saved others; he is not able to save himself!

Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.

And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom [were] Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome,

And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?"

And [as they] were going into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

And they went out [and] fled from the tomb, because trembling and amazement had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

She went out [and] announced [it] to those who were with him [while they] were mourning and weeping.

And after these [things], he appeared in a different form to two of them [as they] were walking, [while they] were going out into the countryside.

And later, [while] they were reclining at table, he appeared to the eleven. And he reprimanded their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him [after he] had been raised.

just as those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning passed on to us,

so that you may know the certainty concerning the things about which you were taught.

And they were both righteous in the sight of God, living blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.

And {they did not have} a child, because Elizabeth was barren. And they were both advanced {in years}.

And the whole crowd of the people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.

And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and began to wonder [when] he was delayed in the temple.

And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were wanting to name him {after} his father Zechariah.

and he asked for a writing tablet [and] wrote, saying, "John is his name." And they were all astonished.

And his mouth and his tongue were opened immediately, and he began to speak, praising God.

And fear came on all those who lived near them, and in all the hill country of Judea all these events were discussed.

And it happened that while they were there, {the time came} for her to give birth.

And there were shepherds in the same region, living out of doors and keeping watch, guarding over their flock by night.

And an angel of the Lord stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and {they were terribly frightened}.

And all who heard [it] were astonished concerning what had been said to them by the shepherds.

And when eight days were completed {so that he could be circumcised}, he was named Jesus, his name [that] [he] was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

And when the days of their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present [him] to the Lord

And his father and mother were astonished at what was said about him.

And at [that] same hour she approached [and] began to give thanks to God, and to speak about him to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

And [after] the days were completed, while they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. And his parents did not know [it],

And all who heard him were amazed at his insight and [his] answers.

And [when they] saw him, they were astounded and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you done this to us? Look, your father and I have been searching for you anxiously!"

And he said to them, "{Why} were you searching for me? Did you not know that it was necessary [for] me to be in the [house] of my Father?"

And the crowds were asking him, saying, "What then should we do?"

And those who served in the army were also asking him, saying, "What should we also do?" And he said to them, "Extort from no one, and do not blackmail [anyone], and be content with your pay."

And [while] the people were waiting expectantly and all were pondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he might be the Christ,

Now it happened that when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and [while he] was praying, heaven was opened,

forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days, and [when] they were completed, he was hungry.

And he rolled up the scroll [and] gave [it] back to the attendant [and] sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were looking intently at him.

And they were all speaking well of him, and were astonished at the gracious words that were coming out of his mouth. And they were saying, "Is this man not the son of Joseph?"

But in truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months while a great famine took place over all the land.

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was made clean except Naaman the Syrian."

And all [those] in the synagogue were filled with anger [when they] heard these [things].

And they were astounded at his teaching, because {he spoke} with authority.

Now [as] the sun was setting, all who had those who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and placing [his] hands on every one of them, he healed them.

And demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Son of God!" And he rebuked [them] [and] did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

And [when it] was day, he departed [and] went to an isolated place. And the crowds were seeking him, and came to him and were trying to prevent him from departing from them.

and he saw two boats there beside the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them [and] were washing their nets.

For amazement had seized him and all those [who were] with him at the catch of fish that they had caught,

and so also [were] James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were business partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid! From now on you will be catching people!"

But the report about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering to hear [him] and to be healed of their illnesses.

And it happened that on one of the days as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting [there] who {had come} from every village of Galilee and Judea and [from] Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was [there] in order [for] him to heal.

And behold, men [came] carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and place [him] before him.

And amazement seized [them] all, and they began to glorify God. And they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen wonderful things today!"

And Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining for the meal with them.

Now it happened that on a Sabbath he went through the grain fields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Have you not read this, what David did when he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely [to see] if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find [a reason] to accuse him.

But they were filled with fury, and began discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured.

And he came up [and] touched the bier, and those who were carrying [it] stopped. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"
