And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."

And the men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

And when he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."

And suddenly all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

And just then they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up. Your sins are forgiven."

And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.

Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"

While he told these things to them, suddenly a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

And suddenly a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

he said, "Make room, because the girl is not dead, but sleeping." They were ridiculing him.

And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David."

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."

And as they went out, suddenly a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

and said to him, "Are you the One who is to come, or should we look for another?"

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Look, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

how he entered into the house of God, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

And look, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" that they might accuse him.

But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

But Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Many followed him, and he healed them all,

and commanded them that they should not make him known:

"Look, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. And he will proclaim justice to the nations.

Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the mute man both spoke and saw.

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

While he was yet speaking to the crowds, suddenly his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

Then one said to him, "Look, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."

But he answered him who spoke to him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

And great crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.

He who has ears, let him hear."

Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'

"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."

Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes, Lord."

And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."

and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."

For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd because they regarded him as a prophet.

And the king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."

And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost." and they screamed with fear.

Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God."

When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,

and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

But he did not answer her a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."

Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet; and he healed them.

Then the disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a crowd?"

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord. This will never be done to you."

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them. And suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."

The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,

So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."

Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.

He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"

He said to him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.

He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to hear the church also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"

Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

"But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'

"So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
