But Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,” He said. “Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that moment.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent have been seizing it by force.

At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to infants.

All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves.

Moving on from there, He entered their synagogue.

When Jesus became aware of this, He withdrew from there. Huge crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.

Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

A good man produces good things from his storeroom of good, and an evil man produces evil things from his storeroom of evil.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look—something greater than Solomon is here!

Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ And returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order.

For whoever has, more will be given to him, and he will have more than enough. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

The landowner’s slaves came to him and said, ‘Master, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:

I will open My mouth in parables;
I will declare things kept secret
from the foundation of the world.

The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather from His kingdom everything that causes sin and those guilty of lawlessness.

So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out, separate the evil people from the righteous,

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

When Jesus heard about it, He withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed Him on foot from the towns.

But the boat was already over a mile from land, battered by the waves, because the wind was against them.

Then Pharisees and scribes came from Jerusalem to Jesus and asked,

But you say, ‘Whoever tells his father or mother, “Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple”—

These people honor Me with their lips,
but their heart is far from Me.

But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly tormented by a demon.”

“Yes, Lord,” she said, “yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table!”

Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment her daughter was cured.

Moving on from there, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a mountain and sat there,

The Pharisees and Sadducees approached, and as a test, asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

From then on Jesus began to point out to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.

While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said:

This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him.
Listen to Him!

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and from that moment the boy was healed.

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

“Yes,” he said.

When he went into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, “What do you think, Simon? Who do earthly kings collect tariffs or taxes from? From their sons or from strangers?”

“From strangers,” he said.

“Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.

So My heavenly Father will also do to you if each of you does not forgive his brother from his heart.”

When Jesus had finished this instruction, He departed from Galilee and went to the region of Judea across the Jordan.

He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning.

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

Then Jesus said, “Leave the children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this.”

After putting His hands on them, He went on from there.

A very large crowd spread their robes on the road; others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

And the crowds kept saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee!”

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?”

“Yes,” Jesus told them. “Have you never read:

You have prepared praise
from the mouths of children and nursing infants?”

Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” At once the fig tree withered.

Where did John’s baptism come from? From heaven or from men?”

They began to argue among themselves, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought John was a prophet.”

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This came from the Lord
and is wonderful in our eyes?

Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing its fruit.

No one was able to answer Him at all, and from that day no one dared to question Him anymore.

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You lock up the kingdom of heaven from people. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in.

This is why I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and hound from town to town.

So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

For at that time there will be great tribulation, the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again!

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days:

The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not shed its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the celestial powers will be shaken.

He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.

“‘So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents.

For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!

And from that time he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.

Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them and said, “Drink from it, all of you.

But I tell you, from this moment I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way in My Father’s kingdom with you.”

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. A large mob, with swords and clubs, was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people.

and saying, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over the whole land.

Suddenly, the curtain of the sanctuary was split in two from top to bottom; the earth quaked and the rocks were split.

Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and ministered to Him were there, looking on from a distance.

When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”

Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it.

The guards were so shaken from fear of him that they became like dead men.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”

So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples the news.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.

And a voice came from heaven:

You are My beloved Son;
I take delight in You!

Yet he went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But He was out in deserted places, and they would come to Him from everywhere.

But the time will come when the groom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new patch pulls away from the old cloth, and a worse tear is made.

Jesus departed with His disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, Judea,

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul in Him!” and, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons!”

For to the one who has, it will be given, and from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.”

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before Him.

A woman suffering from bleeding for 12 years

At once Jesus realized in Himself that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My robes?”

“Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your affliction.”

While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”

He went away from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.

King Herod heard of this, because Jesus’ name had become well known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

but many saw them leaving and recognized them. People ran there by land from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Him.

When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. And there are many other customs they have received and keep, like the washing of cups, jugs, copper utensils, and dining couches.)
