And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.

I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.

And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.

How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.

And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away?

And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

And turning his eyes to his disciples he said, Happy are you who are poor: for the kingdom of God is yours.

But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,

If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.

Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.

And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same.

And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave.

But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.

Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit.

For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.

The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.

He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.

And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.

And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people.

And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

(And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.

Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.

Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.

And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

And they went away, journeying through all the towns, preaching the good news and making people free from diseases in all places.

But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.

But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.

And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.

And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.

And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to get up and give to you?

I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.

And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.

For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.

The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.

But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.

For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;

A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.

And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.

And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.

Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!

But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.

And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?

And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down.

And he put his hands on her, and she was made straight, and gave praise to God.

Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? what comparison may I make of it?

And again he said, What is the kingdom of God like?

When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.
