And when he was alone, those around him together with the twelve began asking him about the parables.

And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out [and] entered into the pigs, and the herd--about two thousand--rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.

But immediately a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, [when she] heard about him, came [and] fell down at his feet,

Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

And he warned them that they should tell no one about him.

And he was speaking openly [about] the subject, and Peter took him aside [and] began to rebuke him.

But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him."

And he asked them, "What are you arguing [about] with them?"

But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way [about] who [was] greatest.

And in the house again the disciples began to ask him about this.

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

And [when they] heard [this], the ten began to be indignant about James and John.

This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses {in the passage about the bush} how God spoke to him, saying, 'I [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'?

"Tell us, when will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign when all these [things] are about to be accomplished?"

And when you hear about wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must happen, but the end [is] not yet.

For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! [It would be] better for him if that man had not been born."

And their testimony was not even consistent about this.

And he began to curse and to swear with an oath, "I do not know this man whom you are talking about!"

so that you may know the certainty concerning the things about which you were taught.

And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her home.

And [when they] saw [it], they made known the statement that had been told to them about this child.

And his father and mother were astonished at what was said about him.

And at [that] same hour she approached [and] began to give thanks to God, and to speak about him to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

And Jesus, [when he] began [his ministry], was himself about thirty years [old], being the son (as it was believed) of Joseph the [son] of Eli,

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him went out throughout all the surrounding region.

And news about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

But the report about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering to hear [him] and to be healed of their illnesses.

Now a certain centurion's slave, who was esteemed by him, {was sick} [and] was about to die.

So [when he] heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come [and] cure his slave.

And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

And his disciples reported to John about all these [things]. And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John

It is this man about whom it is written: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'

And it happened that {afterward} also he was going about from [one] town and village [to another] preaching and proclaiming the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the twelve [were] with him,

because {he had} an only daughter, about twelve years [old], and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised from the dead,

And Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he was wanting to see him.

But [when] the crowds found out, they followed him, and welcoming them, he began to speak to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.

(For there were about five thousand men.) So he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each."

Now it happened that about eight days after these words, he took along Peter and John and James [and] went up on the mountain to pray.

who appeared in glory [and] were speaking [about] his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.

"{You take these words to heart}, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they could not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

And after these [things], the Lord also appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two before {him} into every town and place where he was about to go.

But the Lord answered [and] said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many [things]!

And [when] he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many [things],

If then you are not even able [to do] a very little thing, why are you anxious about the rest?

Now at the same time some had come to tell him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

And he summoned him [and] said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your management, because you can no longer manage.'

"Be concerned about yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, when therefore will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign when these [things] are about to take place?"

And when you hear about wars and insurrections, do not be terrified, for these [things] must happen first, but the end [will] not [be] at once."

For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was counted with the criminals.' For indeed, [what is written] about me {is being fulfilled}."

And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw and {knelt down} [and] began to pray,

And [when] those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"

And [after] about one hour had passed, someone else was insisting, saying, "In truth this man also was with him, because he is also a Galilean!"

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about!" And immediately, [while] he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

And [when] Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him.

And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour

And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them.

and they were conversing with one another about all these [things] that had happened.

And he said to them, "These [are] my words that I spoke to you [while I] was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled."

This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.

That one was not the light, but [came] in order that he could testify about the light.

John testified about him and cried out, saying, "This one was [he about] whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'"

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

This one is [the one] about whom I said, 'After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

He said to them, "Come and you will see!" So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day (it was about the tenth hour).

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found [the one] whom Moses wrote [about] in the law, and the prophets wrote [about]--Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!"

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, "Look! {A true Israelite} in whom is no deceit!"

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

and because he did not {need} anyone {to testify} about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

Truly, truly I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify [about] what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony!

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified--look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!"

You yourselves testify about me that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.'

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

"But I have a testimony greater than John's, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them--the very works which I am doing--[these] testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.

For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

Then Jesus, [because he] knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make [him] king, withdrew again up the mountain [by] himself alone.

However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.
