To the one who had said this, Jesus replied, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?"

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

Then the disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do you speak to people in parables?"

Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Jesus told them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is similar to a seed from the mustard tree which a man took and planted in his field.

This was another parable which Jesus related-- "The Kingdom of Heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen."

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

And Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

And when He came to His home town [i.e., Nazareth], Jesus taught people in their synagogues to their amazement. They said, "Where did this man get [such] wisdom and [the ability to perform] these supernatural deeds?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And He did not do many miracles there [in Nazareth] because of their unbelief.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

He told his servants, "This must be John, the Immerser; he has risen from the dead and [that explains how] these powers can work through him [i.e., Jesus]."

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

"Bring them here to me," said Jesus.

Jesus ordered the people to take their seats on the grass; and, taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing, and, after he had broken the loaves, gave them to his disciples; and they gave them to the crowds.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

And when they [i.e., both Jesus and Peter] got up into the boat, the wind [immediately] stopped.

Then the men in the boat began to worship Jesus, saying, "You certainly are the Son of God!"

When the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word throughout that region and brought him everyone who was sick.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said, “Listen and understand this:

"Every plant," Jesus replied, "that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

Upon this, Peter said to Jesus: "Explain this saying to us."

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

There, a Canaanite woman of that district came out and began calling to Jesus: "Take pity on me, Master, Son of David; my daughter is grievously possessed by a demon."

But Jesus did not answer her a word; and his disciples came up and begged him to send her away. "She keeps calling out after us," they said.

"I was not sent," replied Jesus, "to any one except the lost sheep of Israel."

"It is not fair," replied Jesus, "to take the children's food and throw it to dogs."

Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

Jesus took the seven loaves and the fish, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus [to get something to use against Him], they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven [which would support His divine authority].

But Jesus answered: [ "In the evening you say 'It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.'

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. "Master," he said, "please God that shall never be your fate!"

But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on things of God, but on things of man.”

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

As they approached the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, knelt down in front of him,

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

When Jesus and His disciples came to Capernaum, the collectors of the tax [Note: This was the annual tax used for meeting the expenses of the Temple service and consisted of two days' worth of a farm laborer's pay, or about $140 in 1994] came to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher [also] pay the [Temple] tax?"

He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

So Jesus told him, "In that case, the subjects are exempt. However, so that we don't offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you."

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

Then Peter came and said to Jesus, "Lord, how often must I forgive my brother when he sins against me? As many as seven times?"

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”

"Have not you read," replied Jesus, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'

Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.

His disciples [then] said to Jesus, "If this is the way it has to be between a man and his wife, it is not worth getting married."

"It is not every one," replied Jesus, "who can accept this teaching, but only those who have been enabled to do so.

Then children were brought to Jesus so that He might place His hands on them [for a blessing] and pray; but the disciples reprimanded them.

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Just then a man came up to Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what good deed should I do to have eternal life?"

Jesus asked him, "Why ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to get into that life, you must keep the commandments."

He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

When they heard this the disciples were utterly astounded. "Who then can be saved?" they exclaimed. Jesus looked at them.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Then Peter said to Jesus, "See, *we* have forsaken everything and followed you; what then will be *our* reward?"

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
