And they departed by boat into a deserted place.

Send them away so that they may go to the surrounding fields and villages and buy loaves for themselves. For they have nothing to eat.

He answered and said to them, You give them food to eat. And they said to Him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii of loaves and give them to eat?

And He commanded them all to recline, group by group, on the green grass.

And they reclined group by group, by hundred and by fifty.

And He saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth watch of the night He came toward them walking on the sea, and would have passed by them.

For they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He talked with them, and said, Be of good cheer. I AM! Do not be afraid.

But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban! (that is, A gift to God, whatever you may profit by me)

And He arose from there and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered into a house and desired no one to know it. But He could not be hidden.

The woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race. And she begged Him that He would cast the demon out of her daughter.

But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be filled. For it is not right to take the children's loaves and to throw it to the dogs.

And looking up to Heaven, He sighed and said to him, Ephphatha! (that is, Be opened!)

And He sighed deeply in His spirit and said, Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.

And He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spat on his eyes and had put His hands on him, He asked Him if he saw anything.

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

And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up into a high mountain, apart by themselves. And He was transfigured before them.

And Elijah with Moses was seen by them, and they were talking with Jesus.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And He answered and told them, Elijah truly does come first and restores all things. And how has it been written of the Son of Man that He should suffer many things and be despised?

He answered him and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me!

But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

And He said to them, This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer and fasting.

And He sat down and called the Twelve and said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.

And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched

And if your foot offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes to be cast into hell fire

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Salt is good; but if the salt becomes saltless, with what will you season? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.

And He arose from there. And He came into the borders of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And again a crowd came together to Him. And as was His custom, He taught them again.

saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes. And they will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him to the nations.

But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you ask. Can you drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

And they said to Him, We can. And Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with you shall be baptized.

And when the ten heard, they began to be indignant with James and John.

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant.

And whoever of you desires to become first, he shall be servant of all.

And they came to Jericho. And as He with His disciples and a large crowd went out of Jericho, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, was sitting by the side of the highway, begging.

And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort; rise up, He is calling you.

And they went, and they found the colt tied by the door outside, in a place where two ways met. And they untied him.

And He taught, saying to them, Is it not written, "My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations?" But you have made it a den of thieves.

For truly I say to you that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be moved and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said shall occur, he shall have whatever he said.

and said to Him, By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?

And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one thing, and answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

And they answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And answering Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And He began to speak to them by parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a fence about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and he let it out to vinedressers, and went away.

But those vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir! Come, let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.

For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: "The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I place Your enemies as Your footstool."

Tell us, When shall all these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled. For it must happen, but the end shall not be yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles. These things are the beginnings of sorrows.

But take heed to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to sanhedrins, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten. And you shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them.

And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.

But whenever they lead you away and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you should speak or think. But speak whatever shall be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speaks, but the Holy Spirit.

And a brother will betray a brother to death, and a father his son. And children will rise up against their parents and will cause them to be put to death.

And you will be hated by all for My name's sake, but he enduring to the end, that one will be kept safe.

But when you see the abomination of desolation, that spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

For in those days shall be affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.

And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved. But for the elect's sake, whom He has chosen, He has shortened the days.

Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in all the world, this also that she has done will be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, Not at all I, is it? And another said, Not at all I, is it?

And Jesus said to them, All of you will be offended because of Me this night. For it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."

But Peter said to Him, Although all shall be offended, yet I will not.

And He took with Him Peter and James and John. And He began to be greatly amazed, and to be very heavy.

And one of those standing by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

I was with you daily in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.

You have heard the blasphemy; what do you think? And they all condemned Him to be guilty of death.

And a servant woman saw him again and began to say to those who stood by, This one is of them.

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You razing the temple and building it in three days,

And hearing, some of those standing by said, Behold, he calls Elijah.

And he said to them, Do not be frightened. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen, He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him.

And those hearing that He lives, and was seen by her, they did not believe.

He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned.

And going out, they proclaimed everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word by miraculous signs following. Amen.

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.

He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God shall give Him the throne of His father David.

And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end.

Then Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I do not know a man?
