And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his [own] hometown and in his [own] household."

And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

And [although he] wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they looked upon him as a prophet.

And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,

Now [when] Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And [when] the crowds heard [it], they followed him by land from the towns.

Now [when it] was evening, the disciples came to him saying, "The place is desolate and the hour {is late}. Release the crowds so that they can go away into the villages [and] purchase food for themselves."

But Jesus said to them, "They do not {need} to go away. You give them [something] to eat."

And they said to him, "We do not have [anything] here except five loaves and two fish."

After ordering the crowds to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and two fish and looked up to heaven and blessed them; then He broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to the disciples, and they gave them to the people.

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

And they that ate were in number about five thousand men, besides women and children.

But the disciples, [when they] saw him walking on the sea, were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear.

and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.

And [when] they got into the boat, the wind abated.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, "Of a truth thou art the son of God."

And [after they] had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

And [when] the men of that place recognized him, they sent [word] into that whole surrounding region, and they brought to him all those {who were sick}.

And they were imploring him that they might only touch the edge of his cloak, and all those who touched [it] were cured.

Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,

"Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat {a meal}."

For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answering said, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God thro' your tradition?

"this people, says he, draw nigh to me, they honour me with their lips: while their hearts are far from me.

and they worship me in vain, teaching [as] doctrines the commandments of men.'"

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

Let them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile the man.

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples having approached, they besought him, saying, Send her away, because she cries out behind us.

And large crowds came to him, having with them [the] mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.

So then the crowd was astonished [when they] saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.

And Jesus summoned his disciples [and] said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry lest they give out on the way."

And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" So they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."

They said, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass.

and He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks; then He broke them in pieces, and kept giving the pieces to the disciples, and they to the crowds.

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And [when] the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test [him], they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

a wicked degenerate race demand a miracle; but no miracle shall they have beside that of the prophet Jonas. and so leaving them, he went away.

And [when] the disciples arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

So they were discussing [this] among themselves, saying, "[It is] because we did not take bread."

Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And they said, {Some} [say] John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.

Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

and presently they saw Moses and Elias conversing with him.

And [when] the disciples heard [this], they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.

And [when they] lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him--Jesus alone.

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, "Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."

But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the [same] way also the Son of Man is going to suffer [at] their hands."

And [when they] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him

And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him."

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

Now [as] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were extremely distressed.

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

A curse on the world for such influences to do wrong! For they must come, but a curse on the man from whom these influences come!

If your hand or your foot becomes the occasion for you falling away [from God], cut them off and throw them away. It would be better for you to enter [never ending] life disabled or crippled, rather than keeping both hands and both feet and being thrown into the never ending fire [i.e., because they caused you to fall away from God].

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father [who is] in heaven.

For I am in the presence of two or three [disciples] wherever they are gathered in my name."

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?”

and said, 'For this thing, shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh.'

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

He said unto them, "All men cannot away with that saying, save they to whom it is given.

because some men are celibate from birth, while some are celibate because they have been made that way by others. Still others are celibate because they have made themselves that way for the sake of the kingdom from heaven. Let anyone accept this who can."

Then they brought children to him in order to have his blessing: and the disciples rebuked them.

But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not try to keep them from coming to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as they are."

So [when] the disciples heard [this], they were extremely amazed, saying, "Then who can be saved?"

and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.

So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same [thing].

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'

And [when] the ones [hired] about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.

And [when] the first came, they thought that they would receive more, and they also received a denarius apiece.

And [when they] received [it], they began to complain against the master of the house,

'These last,' they said, 'have done only one hour's work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day's work, and the heat.'

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem He took the twelve apostles aside. As they traveled along He said to them,

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.

and he said to her, 'What wilt thou?' She saith to him, 'Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'

But Jesus answered [and] said, "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."

He said to them, "You will drink the cup that I am to drink, but seats at my right and at my left are not mine to give, but they will be given to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."

And [when] the ten heard [this], they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, "Ye know that the Lords of the gentiles have domination over them. And they that are great exercise power over them.

And [as] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

And behold, [there were] two blind men sitting beside the road. [When they] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

They said to him, "Lord, that our eyes be opened!"

And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received [their] sight and followed him.

And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments over them. And he sat upon them.

Moreover, the people that went before, and they also that came after, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."

And when He had come to Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up; they were asking, "Who is this man?"

But [when] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful [things] that he did, and the children shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And [when they] saw [it], the disciples were astonished, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet."

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!
