Why, there is nothing hidden except with a view to its being ultimately disclosed, nor has anything been made a secret but that it may at last come to light.

But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come."

But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.

So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.

But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.

But He Himself was in the stern asleep, with His head on the cushion: so they woke Him. "Rabbi," they cried, "is it nothing to you that we are drowning?"

for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.

But He would not allow it. "Go home to your family," He said, "and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you."

When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,

and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,

for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."

But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,

But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not be afraid; only have faith."

but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.

But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home."

but to go wearing sandals. "And do not," He said, "put on an extra under garment.

But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them."

But when Herod heard of Him, he said, "The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life."

Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but could not;

Accordingly they sailed away in the boat to a solitary place apart.

But the people saw them going, and many knew them; and coming by land they ran together there from all the neighbouring towns, and arrived before them.

Immediately afterwards He made His disciples go on board the boat and cross over to Bethsaida, leaving Him behind to dismiss the crowd.

He then bade the people farewell, and went away up the hill to pray.

When evening was come, the boat was half way across the Lake, while he Himself was on shore alone.

But when He saw them distressed with rowing (for the wind was against them)

Then He went up to them on board the boat, and the wind lulled; and they were beside themselves with silent amazement.

For they had not learned the lesson taught by the loaves, but their minds were dull.

But no sooner had they gone ashore than the people immediately recognized Him.

And enter wherever He might--village or town or hamlet--they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.

So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?"

But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'

But *you* say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God)

There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean."

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.

Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation.

So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

So Jesus taking him aside, apart from the crowd, put His fingers into his ears, and spat, and moistened his tongue;

Then Jesus charged them to tell no one; but the more He charged them, all the more did they spread the news far and wide.

Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;

So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"

Then for the second time He put His hands on the man's eyes, and the man, looking steadily, recovered his sight and saw everything distinctly.

"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."

Then He asked them pointedly, "But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?" "You are the Christ," answered Peter.

And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."

But turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."

For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.

when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.

"Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?

Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."

and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."

"and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us."

but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.

for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."

But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.

If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out.

Salt is a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness? Have salt within you and live at peace with one another."

but from the beginning of the creation the rule was, 'Male and female did God make them.

and the two shall be one'; so that they are two no longer, but 'one.'

One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

Jesus looking on them said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for everything is possible with God."

but will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life--houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands--and persecution with them--and in the coming age the Life of the Ages.

But many who are now first will be last, and the last, first."

they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise to life again."

but as to sitting at my right hand or at my left, that is not mine to give: it will be for those for whom it is reserved."

but it is not to be so among you. No, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant;

For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people."

Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me."

But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it. When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves (for it was not fig time)

And He remonstrated with them. "Is it not written," He said, "'My House shall be called The House of Prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it what it now is--a robbers' cave."

In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Remove, and hurl thyself into the sea,' and has no doubt about it in his heart, but stedfastly believes that what he says will happen, it shall be granted him.

But whenever you stand praying, if you have a grievance against any one, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your offences."

"And I will put a question to you," replied Jesus; "answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.

But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.

"But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'

What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."

And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to *them*. So they left Him and went away.

So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling for me to look at."

"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'

There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.

For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.

But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'

He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."

So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;

Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.

But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?

But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.

for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."

But when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed: come they must, but the End is not yet.

For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

But the proclamation of the Good News must be carried to all the Gentiles before the End comes.

When however they are marching you along under arrest, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but speak what is given you when the time comes; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

"Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.

"But pray that it may not come in the winter.

and but for the fact that the Lord has cut short those days, no one would escape; but for the sake of His own People whom He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.

But as for yourselves, be on your guard: I have forewarned you of everything.
