When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary, James's mother, and Salome bought spices, in order to go and anoint him.

Then very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, when the sun had just risen.

And when they went into the tomb they saw a young man in a white robe sitting at the right, and they were utterly amazed.

When they heard that he was alive and that she had seen him, they would not believe it.

Still later he appeared to the Eleven themselves when they were at table, and reproached them for their obstinacy and want of faith, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.

In the days when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was also a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

And when his period of service was over, he went back to his home.

It was the first census, taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

When the angels left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Come! Let us go over to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, that the Lord has told us of!"

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

When he was eight days old and it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, as the angel had named him, before his birth was first expected.

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,

When they had done everything that the Law of the Lord required, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual to the festival and made their customary stay.

When they started back the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents' knowledge.

Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his work. He was the son, it was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Eli,

for forty days by the Spirit, and was tempted by the devil. In all those days he ate nothing, and when they were over he was famished.

When the devil had tried every kind of temptation he left him till another time.

But, I tell you, there were plenty of widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was closed for three years and a half, and there was a great famine all over the land,

And when the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all very angry,

When he got up and left the synagogue, he went to Simon's house. And Simon's mother-in-law was suffering with a severe attack of fever, and they asked him about her.

When it was day, he left the house and made his way to a lonely spot, and crowds of people went in search of him, and overtook him and tried to keep him from leaving them.

When he stopped speaking, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and then put down your nets for a haul."

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' feet and said, "Leave me, Master, for I am a sinful man."

When he was in one of the towns, he came upon a man covered with leprosy. And when he saw Jesus he fell down on his face, and begged him, saying, "If you only choose, sir, you can cure me!"

He is like a man who was building a house, who dug deep and laid his foundation upon the rock, and when there was a flood the torrent burst upon that house and could not shake it, because it was well built.

When he had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum.

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

So Jesus went with them. But when he was not far from the house, the captain sent some friends to him, to say to him, "Master, do not take any more trouble, for I am not a suitable person to have you under my roof.

When Jesus heard this, he was astonished at him, and turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such faith as this even in Israel!"

And when the messengers went back to the house, they found the slave well.

And when the Master saw her, he pitied her, and said to her, "Do not weep."

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?

"For when John the Baptist came, he did not eat any bread or drink any wine, and you said, 'He has a demon!'

Now there was a woman in the town who was leading a sinful life, and when she learned that he was having dinner at the Pharisee's house, she got an alabaster flask of perfume,

When a great throng was gathering and people were coming to him from one town after another, he said in his figurative way,

And some of it fell upon the rock, and when it sprang up it withered, because it had no moisture.

The ones on the rock are those who receive the message joyfully when they first hear it, but it takes no real root. They believe for a little while, and then in the time of trial they draw back.

And when he landed, he met a man possessed by demons, who was coming out of the town. He had worn no clothing for a long time, and did not live in a house but in the tombs.

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

When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away and spread the news in the town and in the country around.

When Jesus returned, the people welcomed him, for they were all watching for him.

When the woman saw that she had not escaped his notice, she came forward trembling, and fell down before him, and before all the people told why she had touched him, and how she had been cured at once.

When he got to the house, he let no one go in with him but Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.

When the day began to decline, the Twelve came up and said to him, "Send the crowd away to the villages and farms around to find food and shelter, for we are in a lonely place here."

The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, it happened that a great crowd met him.

As the time approached when he was to be taken up to heaven, he set his face toward Jerusalem,

When the disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Master, will you have us order fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

The seventy-two came back delighted, and said, "Master, when we use your name the very demons submit to us!"

And he turned to his disciples when they were alone, and said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

Jesus replied, "A man was on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers, and they stripped him and beat him and went off leaving him half dead.

Now a priest happened to be going that way, and when he saw him, he went by on the other side of the road.

And a Levite also came to the place, and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.

But a Samaritan who was traveling that way came upon him, and when he saw him he pitied him,

Once as he was praying in a certain place, when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father, your name be revered! Your kingdom come!

Once he was driving out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone the dumb man spoke. And the people were amazed.

When he said this, a Pharisee asked him to lunch with him, and he went to his house and took his place at table.

At this, one of the experts in the Law said to him, "Master, when you say that, you affront us too."

When they bring you before the synagogues or the magistrates or the authorities, you must have no anxiety about how to defend yourselves or what to say,

like men waiting for their master to come home from a wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

Blessed are the slaves whom their master will find on the watch when he comes. I tell you, he will gird up his robe and make them take their places at table, and go around and wait on them.

You must be ready too, for the Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not expect him."

Blessed is that slave if his master when he returns finds him doing it.

that slave's master will come back some day when he does not expect him, and at some time of which he does not know, and will cut him in two, and put him with the unbelievers.

And he said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rise in the west, you say at once, 'It is going to rain,' and it does.

And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'It is going to be very hot,' and it is.
