Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,

and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he had seated himself, his disciples came to him,

"Store up for yourselves no treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

"but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

when a Scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!"

But the men were amazed, saying, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"

"No one ever sews a piece of undressed cloth on an old cloak. If they did, the patch put on to fill it up would tear away from the cloak, and the rent be made worse.

As he was saying these words to them, a ruler came up and knelt before him, saying. "My daughter has just died; but come, put your hand upon her, and she will live."

But a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him, and touched the tassel of his cloak.

When, however, the crowd had been driven out, he went in and took her hand, and the little girl woke up.

"But beware of men! For they will give you up to the Sanhedrin, and flog you in their synagogues.

"And when the blade shot up and formed the wheat-kernel, then the tares also appeared.

"'No,' he answered, 'for fear lest while you are collecting the tares, you at the same time pull up the wheat.

Then he told the people to sit down on the grass, and after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves and handed them to the disciples, and the disciples handed them to the crowds.

And they all ate and were fully satisfied, and they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve basketfuls.

After he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain alone, to pray. When night came he was there alone.

But he answered her not a word. Then the disciples came up and kept beseeching him. "Send her away," they said, "because she wails after us."

"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and follow me.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain, by themselves apart.

As they reached the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and fell on his knees before him, saying.

Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"

But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.

"Look! We are on the way up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death,

In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Up, cast yourself into the sea!' it shall be done;

"Master," they said, "Moses taught that if a man dies without issue, his brother is to marry the widow, and raise up a family for his brother.

"The second, who had received the two talents, came up and said: "'Master, it was two talents that you entrusted to me; see, I have gained two more.'

So he came straight up to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him eagerly.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one of the maidservants came up to him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Galilean!"

A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "You also are certainly one of them, for your speech betrays you."

And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

And behold! Jesus himself met them, saying, "All hail!" And they went up to him and clasped his feet and worshiped him.

and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."

So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

And Simon and his companions hunted him up,

"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'?

But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"??e said to the paralytic??11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."

The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

"Stand up," Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "and come forward."

Then he went up the hillside and called to him those whom he chose, and they came to him.

Then his mother and his brothers came up, and standing outside, they sent a messenger to him to call him.

and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;

some other seed fell on stony soil, where it had not much earth; and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil,

Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, so that it yielded no crop.

But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.

yet when sown shoots up and becomes larger than any plant, sending out such branches that the wild birds build their nests under its shadow."

But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.

Now he himself was sleeping on the cushion in the stern, so they woke him up, saying, "Master, do you not care if we perish?"

Then they were awestruck, and said one to another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him!"

Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,

At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.

And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.

He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.

"True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children's crumbs."

then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")

They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

Do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces did you take up?" "Twelve," they said.

"And when the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you pick up?"

The man looked up and said, "I can make out the people, for as they move about, I see them like trees."

Then summoning the crowd to him, with his disciples. he said: "If any man wishes to follow me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and so follow me.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.

"Master," said Peter, addressing Jesus, "it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

As soon as they saw him, all the people were astounded and ran up to greet him.

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

Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.

"Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."

As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.

"See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,

Presently there came up to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."

Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up."

"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Up and hurl yourself into the sea!' and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.

And whenever you stand up to pray, forgive, if you have anything against any one, that so your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

Then came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned him, saying.

"Teacher, Moses taught us that if a man's brother die, and leave a wife behind him, but no child, that his brother is to marry the widow and to raise up a family for his brother.

Just then up came one of the Scribes who had heard them arguing, and realized that Jesus had answered them admirably. "What commandment," he asked, "is the first of all?"

"And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents, and have them put to death.

"Abba, Father," he said, "all things are possible with thee. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

At that instant, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up, and with him a mob armed with swords and clubs, sent by the high priests and Scribes and elders.
