All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."

Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.

As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.

and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."

and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them.

He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,

Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

They went out and preached that people should repent.

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."

He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.

Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'

There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him,

He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

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

Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?

Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!"

Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."

If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched --

and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."

But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may see again."

and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and doesn't doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don't defer to anyone; for you aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

Shall we give, or shall we not give?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."

Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.

There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If a man's brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'

But about the dead, that they are raised; haven't you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"

The scribe said to him, "Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.

Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"

Jesus, answering, began to tell them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.

When they lead you away and deliver you up, don't be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

Pray that your flight won't be in the winter.

For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

"Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.

But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."

Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?"

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

Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew in the Kingdom of God."

Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.

But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"
