And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

Now when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on the land.

And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

because they had not understood [the miracle of] the loaves [how it revealed the power and deity of Jesus]; but [in fact] their heart was hardened [being oblivious and indifferent to His amazing works].

And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.

When Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples asked Him about the parable.

And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

She was a heathen who spoke Greek and had been born in Syro-Phenicia. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,

I am concern'd for this people, they have been with me now three days without having had any thing to eat.

And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, [after he] had given thanks he broke [them] and began giving [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before [them]. And they set [them] before the crowd.

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.

And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

And he proceeded to teach them that the Son of man had to endure great suffering, to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, to be killed and after three days to rise again;

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And after six days had passed, Jesus took Peter, James and John aside alone and went up to a high mountain [i.e., probably Mt. Tabor, which was nearby]. [There] His whole appearance was [miraculously] changed in front of them.

for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.

And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."

Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he answered, “Since childhood.

And many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou canst anything, help us, having had compassion upon us.

And the spirit cried, and rent him sore and came out: And he was as one that had been dead, insomuch that many said, "He is dead."

When He had gone indoors, His disciples began asking Him privately, “Why were we unable to drive it out?”

for he was explaining to his disciples that the Son of man was to be betrayed into the hands of men, and that they would put him to death, but that after he had been put to death, he would rise again after three days,

Then Jesus and His disciples came to Capernaum [Note: This city on the northwest shore of Lake Galilee had become sort of a headquarters for Jesus when He was in this region]. When He [and His disciples] entered a house He asked them, "What were you discussing on the way here?"

But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea.

And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

Some of the people were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

Then after he had hugged the children, he tenderly blessed them as he laid his hands on them.

And when he had gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Jesus beheld him, and had a favour to him, and said unto him, "One thing is lacking unto thee. Go, and sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me, and take up thy cross on thee."

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

Peter started to say to him, "Well, we have left all we had, and have followed you."

Now Jesus and his disciples had been on the road going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking ahead of them. They were astonished, and the others who followed were afraid.

and Jesus said to him, go your way, your faith has cur'd you, and immediately he had sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.

And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself upon it.

And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He was hungry.

And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.

And when evening had come, he went out of the city.

The next morning, [as they returned to the city], they passed by the fig tree and saw that it had withered, clear down to its roots.

And Peter, remembering what Jesus had said, says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.

No, let us say, From men" ??but they were afraid of the multitude, for the people all held John had been really a prophet.

And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

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?

And, when they had brought it, he asked: "Whose head and title are these?" "The Emperor's," they said;

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut. 25:5] that if a man's brother dies, leaving his widow behind without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children by her. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother's.

There were seven brothers. The first one married, and when he died he had no children.

And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

For the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.

and to occupy the principal seats in the synagogues and the head places at dinner tables.

And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

When Jesus had sat down on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew questioned him privately:

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

“But when you see the abomination of desolation standing [in the temple sanctuary] where it ought not to be (let the reader understand) then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

There will be great trouble during those days, such as had never been from the beginning of God's creation until the present, or even will be [in the days to come].

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Take heed! Awake! for you never know the time. As a man gone abroad and leaving his house gives authority to his slaves, to each his task; and orders the porter to keep watch;

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

What she had, she used, - She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;

After they had listened to him, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So he began to look for a good opportunity to betray him.

And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

And when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said: "I tell you that one of you is going to betray me--one who is eating with me."

The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body.
