But when Jesus heard this, he told him, "Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."

Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.

But Jesus gently took her by the hand and said, "Child, get up."

After Jesus called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,

Herod said, "I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus.

When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.

Now the day began to draw to a close, so the twelve came and said to Jesus, "Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in an isolated place."

So they did as Jesus directed, and the people all sat down.

Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.

Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he was saying.

After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. So they kept silent and told no one at that time anything of what they had seen.

Jesus answered, "You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here."

As the boy was approaching, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

ThenBut while the entire crowd was amazed at everything Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

But when Jesus discerned their innermost thoughts, he took a child, had him stand by his side,

But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you."

Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem.

But Jesus turned and rebuked them,

Jesus said to him, "Foxes have dens and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

Jesus said to another, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

On that same occasion Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will.

Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

Now an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Jesus said to him, "You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live."

But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him half dead.

The expert in religious law said, "The one who showed mercy to him." So Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him as a guest.

Now Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

But Jesus, realizing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and a divided household falls.

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, "This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

As he spoke, a Pharisee invited Jesus to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table.

The Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before the meal.

But Jesus replied, "Woe to you experts in religious law as well! You load people down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you yourselves refuse to touch the burdens with even one of your fingers!

Meanwhile, when many thousands of the crowd had gathered so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But Jesus said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?"

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

Jesus also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A rainstorm is coming,' and it does.

Then Jesus told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

When Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days on which work should be done! So come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day."

Thus Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?

Then Jesus traveled throughout towns and villages, teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

At that time, some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, "Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you."

Now one Sabbath when Jesus went to dine at the house of a leader of the Pharisees, they were watching him closely.

So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

But they remained silent. So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.

Then when Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. He said to them,

When one of those at the meal with Jesus heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is everyone who will feast in the kingdom of God!"

But Jesus said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet and invited many guests.

Now large crowds were accompanying Jesus, and turning to them he said,

So Jesus told them this parable:

Then Jesus said, "A man had two sons.

Jesus also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who was informed of accusations that his manager was wasting his assets.

But Jesus said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in men's eyes, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly prized among men is utterly detestable in God's sight.

Jesus said to his disciples, "Stumbling blocks are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

Now on the way to Jerusalem, Jesus was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

raised their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."

He fell with his face to the ground at Jesus' feet and thanked him. (Now he was a Samaritan.)

Then Jesus said, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

Now at one point the Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed,

Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.

Jesus also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else.

But Jesus called for the children, saying, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

When Jesus noticed this, he said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of God's kingdom

Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.

But the twelve understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what Jesus meant.

As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

They told him, "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by."

So he called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

So Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar to be brought to him. When the man came near, Jesus asked him,

Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you."

And immediately he regained his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they too gave praise to God.

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it.

He was trying to get a look at Jesus, but being a short man he could not see over the crowd.

So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because I must stay at your house today."

So he came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully.

Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this household, because he too is a son of Abraham!

While the people were listening to these things, Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

After Jesus had said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

Then they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and had Jesus get on it.

Now when Jesus approached and saw the city, he wept over it,

Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling things there,

Jesus was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate him,

Now one day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the experts in the law with the elders came up

Then Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by whose authority I do these things."

But Jesus looked straight at them and said, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?

But Jesus perceived their deceit and said to them,

So Jesus said to them, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.

As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,

Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box.

Now while some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said,

So every day Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, but at night he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives.
