For people who have will have more given them, and from people who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.

"How can we find any comparison," he said, "for the reign of God, or what figure can we use to describe it?

and screamed out, "What do you want of me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? In God's name, I implore you, do not torture me."

He asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "My name is Legion, for there are many of us."

And the men who tended them ran away and spread the news in the town and in the country around, and the people came to see what had happened.

And those who had seen it told them what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the pigs.

The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward frightened and trembling, and threw herself down at his feet and told him the whole truth.

But Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, just have faith."

And he went into the house and said to them, "What is the meaning of all this confusion and crying? The child is not dead, she is asleep."

When she had left the room she said to her mother, "What shall I ask him for?" But she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

"You give up what God has commanded and hold fast to what men have handed down.

"How skilful you are," he said to them, "in nullifying what God has commanded in order to observe what has been handed down to you.

and so you nullify what God has said by what you have handed down. You have many such practices."

Nothing that goes into a man from outside can pollute him. It is what comes out of a man that pollutes him."

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples asked him what he meant by this figure.

He went on to say, "It is what comes out of a man that pollutes him.

But she answered, "True, sir! and still the dogs under the table eat what the children leave!"

For what good does it do a man to gain the whole world and yet part with his life?

For what can a man give to buy back his life?

For he did not know what to say, they were so frightened.

As they were going down the mountain, he cautioned them to let no one know what they had seen, until the Son of Man should rise from the dead.

And they did not forget what he said, but discussed with one another what he meant by the rising from the dead.

And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

But they did not understand what he meant, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

But the disciples were amazed at what he said. And Jesus said to them again, "My children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!

As they went on their way up to Jerusalem, Jesus walked ahead of them, and they were in dismay, and those who still followed were afraid. And he took the Twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink what I am drinking, or undergo the baptism that I am undergoing?"

They said to him, "Yes, we can." Jesus said to them, "Then you shall drink what I am drinking, and you shall undergo the baptism that I am undergoing;

Jesus spoke to him and said, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Master, let me regain my sight!"

The high priests and the scribes heard of this, and they cast about for a way of destroying him, for they were afraid of him, for all the people were amazed at what he taught.

I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea!' and has no doubt in his mind, but has faith that what he says will happen, shall have it.

and said to him, "What authority have you for doing as you do? And who gave you a right to do as you are doing?"

Jesus said to them, "Let me ask you one question, and if you answer me, I will tell you what authority I have for doing as I do.

But there were some who said indignantly to themselves, "What was the use of wasting the perfume like that?

I tell you, wherever the good news is preached all over the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

and he said, "Abba!" that is, Father, "anything is possible for you! Take this cup away from me! Yet not what I please but what you do!"

When he came back he found them asleep again, for they could hardly keep their eyes open; and they did not know what answer to make to him.

Then the high priest got up and came forward into the center and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What about their evidence against you?"

Then the high priest tore his clothing, and said, "What do we want of witnesses now?

Did you hear his blasphemy? What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving to be put to death.

But he denied it, saying, "I do not know or understand what you mean." He went out into the gateway.

And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man you call the king of the Jews?"

But they made signs to the child's father and asked him what he wished to have the child named.

and everyone who heard them kept them in mind, and said, "What is this child going to be?" For the Lord's hand was with him.

When they saw this, they told what had been said to them about this child.

And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them,

And the shepherds went back glorifying God and praising him for all that they had heard and seen in fulfilment of what they had been told.

And under the Spirit's influence he went into the Temple, and when Jesus' parents brought him there to do for him what the Law required,

But they did not understand what he told them.

But he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, for that is what I was sent to do."

But Jesus saw what they were discussing, and said to them, "What are you pondering over in your minds?

And he got up at once before them all, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, praising God.

And some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what it is against the Law to do on the Sabbath?"

Jesus answered, "Have you not read even what David did, when he and his companions were hungry?

But he knew what they were thinking, and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and stand in front." And he got up and stood there.

But they were perfectly furious, and discussed with one another what they could do to Jesus.

Give to everyone that asks of you, and if anyone takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

If you love only those who love you, what merit is there in that? For even godless people love those who love them.

And if you help only those who help you, what merit is there in that? Even godless people act in that way.

When John's messengers were gone, he began to speak to the crowds about John. "What was it that you went out into the desert to look at? A reed swaying in the wind?

Then what did you go out there to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Men who wear fine clothes and live in luxury you find in palaces.

Then what did you go out there to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet!

So what is there to which I can compare the men of this age? What are they like?

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet, he would know who and what the woman is who is touching him, for she leads a wicked life."

As they could not pay him, he canceled what they owed him. Now which of them will be more attached to him?"

His disciples asked him what this figure meant.
