But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

And the report of this went out into all that land.

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this."

But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."

And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.

Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.

And it happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and proclaim in their cities.

But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."

At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?

But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

And look, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" that they might accuse him.

But Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Many followed him, and he healed them all,

and commanded them that they should not make him known:

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the mute man both spoke and saw.

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.

But I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."

On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

And great crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches."

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,

And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."

Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."

And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,

and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

That which enters into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do men say that the Son of Man is?"

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Messiah.

From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.

Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

12 "What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

"But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'

He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.

So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.

Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.

His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.

He answered, and said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart."

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."

Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

And just then someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."

But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

And just then two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Lord, have mercy on us, son of David."

The crowd rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Lord, have mercy on us, son of David."

They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.

This took place that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.

They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
