When he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but in the tombs.

For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; because many demons had entered him.

When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Those who had seen it told them how he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,

"Return to your home, and tell how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the people pressed round him.

And a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by anyone,

When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

And her parents were astonished, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

And when the apostles returned, they told him what they had done. Then he took them with him and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.

But when the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.

"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion.

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his word.

Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

In the meantime, when so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trampled one another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But know this, that if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

He told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.

And at the time of the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come, for all is now ready.'

And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'

Then he said: "There was a man who had two sons.

Not many days after, the younger son gathered together all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living.

And when he had spent everything, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in want.

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion for him, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

He also said to his disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.

So the master commended the dishonest steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.

And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

When he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.

And, as he was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

saying, "If you had known, even you, this day, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the peoplefor they knew that he had spoken this parable against them.

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

for these all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

So they went, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

Then after about an hour had passed, another insisted, saying, "Certainly this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean."

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this was a righteous man!"

When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home.

But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

who had not consented to their decision and deed. He came from of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.

And they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.

But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all this happened.

and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."

Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

And Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

and he had no need for anyone to bear witness of man, for he knew what was in man.

For John had not yet been put in prison.

Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

Now he had to go through Samaria.

For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was sick.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his household.

This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

One man who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but in secret.

Then they sought to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,
