When they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said, "Wake up! Take the child and his mother and make your escape to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you to leave. For Herod is going to look for the child in order to make away with him."

And the men were amazed and said, "What kind of man is this? For the very winds and sea obey him!"

For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?

But I would have you know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home!"

But when they give you up, you must have no anxiety about how to speak or what to say, for you will be told at the very moment what you ought to say,

and no one who will not take up his cross and follow me is worthy of me.

and as he was sowing, some of the seed fell by the path and the birds came and ate it up,

and some fell on rocky ground where there was not much soil and it sprang up at once, because the soil was not deep,

but when the sun came up it was scorched and withered up, because it had no root.

And some of it fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it out.

When they came to the people again, a man came up to him and fell on his knees, saying,

Jesus answered, "O you unbelieving, obstinate people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"
