those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.

Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.

That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct them selves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

And Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but having fully awakened, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

While he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid as those men entered the cloud.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one, in those days, any of the things which they had seen.

And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;

And he found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sit ting.

and said to those who sold doves: Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live.
