When he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

When it was quite late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and it's already late.

When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while he was alone on the land.

but when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and began to scream.

When they had crossed over, they came ashore at Gennesaret and anchored the boat.

He told them, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written, "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples began asking him about the parable.

When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces?" They told him, "Twelve."

"When I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many large baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?" They told him, "Seven."

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes with the holy angels in his Father's glory."

So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell on the ground and kept rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You spirit that won't let him talk or hear I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!"

When Jesus came home, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive the spirit out?"

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

When they came to Jerusalem, he went into the Temple and began to throw out those who were selling and those who were buying in the Temple. He overturned the moneychangers' tables and the chairs of those who sold doves.

"Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign when these things will be put into effect?"

But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, stop being alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet,

When they take you away and hand you over for trial, don't worry ahead of time about what you will say. Instead, say whatever is given to you at that time, because it won't be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

"So when you see the destructive desecration standing where it should not be (let the reader take note), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

"Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches become tender and it produces leaves, you know that summer is near.

When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

I tell all of you with certainty, I'll never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

When he went back, he found his disciples asleep. "Simon, are you asleep?" he asked Peter. "You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?

A certain young man, who was wearing nothing but a linen sheet, was following Jesus. When the men grabbed him,

When she saw Peter warming himself, she glared at him and said, "You, too, were with Jesus from Nazareth."

It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "Listen! He's calling for Elijah!"

When the days of the festival were over, they left for home. The young man Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching desperately for him.

When Jesus' parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!"

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Caesar Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

When all the people had been baptized, Jesus, too, was baptized. While he was praying, heaven opened,

Jesus himself was about 30 years old when he began his ministry. He was (as legally calculated) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

where he was being tempted by the Devil for 40 days. During that time he ate nothing at all, and when they were over he became hungry.

Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been raised. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read,

When he had finished speaking, he told Simon, "Push out into deep water, and lower your nets for a catch."

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, "Leave me, Lord! I am a sinful man!" -

Then Jesus told Simon, "Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching people." So when they brought the boats to shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.

When they couldn't find a way to get him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down on his stretcher through the tiles into the middle of the room, right in front of Jesus.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Mister, your sins are forgiven."

But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and at that time they will fast."

Jesus answered them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions became hungry?

When daylight came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also called apostles:

"How terrible it will be for you when everyone says nice things about you, because that's the way their ancestors used to treat the false prophets!"

How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you don't see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you'll see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

They are like a person building a house, who dug a deep hole to lay the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the floodwaters pushed against that house but couldn't shake it, because it had been founded on the rock.

But the person who hears what I say but doesn't act on it is like someone who built a house on the ground without any foundation. When the floodwaters pushed against it, that house quickly collapsed, and the resulting destruction of that house was extensive."

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask him to come and save his servant's life.

So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to tell Jesus, "Sir, stop troubling yourself, because I'm not worthy to have you come under my roof.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!"

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

When the men had come to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, "Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?'"

But others fell on good soil, and when they came up, they produced 100 times as much as was planted." As he said this, he called out, "Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!"

The ones on the stony ground are the people who joyfully welcome the word when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.

When Jesus stepped out on the shore, a man from the city met him. This man was controlled by demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house but in the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he screamed, fell down in front of him, and cried out in a loud voice, "What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!"

Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside.

So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.
