Then Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" But as all were denying that they had done so, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are jamming you and jostling you."

But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further."

And they derided him, knowing that she had died.

And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.

Now Herod [Antipas] the tetrarch [who governed a portion of Palestine including Galilee and Perea] heard about all that was being done [by Jesus], and he was thoroughly perplexed, because it was said by some that John [the Baptist whom he had ordered beheaded] had been raised from the dead,

And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

And they did so, and had [them] all sit down.

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.

And it came to pass, as he had been praying in retirement, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

They had a glorified appearance, and were discussing Jesus' departure that he would shortly bring about in Jerusalem.

Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.

But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.

But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

But Jesus, [because he] knew the thoughts of their hearts, took hold of a child and had him stand beside him

And it came to pass, as the time for him to be taken up into heaven had fully come, that he set his face steadfastly to go up to Jerusalem.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And he said unto them, "I saw Satan, as it had been lightning, fall down from heaven.

For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

And Jesus replying said, There was a certain man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thieves, who after they had stripped and beaten him, went away, leaving him half dead.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.

Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. After he had finished, one of his disciples told him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

And [at another time] Jesus was casting out a demon, and it was [controlling a man so as to make him] mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds were awed.

but when the stronger than he, having come upon him, may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye may be clear, truly thy whole body is lighted; but when it may be had, truly thy body is dark.

When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.

And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,

In the meantime, after so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were stepping on one another, Jesus began speaking first of all to His disciples, “Be continually on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees [that is, their pervasive, corrupting influence and teaching], which is hypocrisy [producing self-righteousness].

to which purpose he propos'd to them this parable: a rich man had some land that was very fruitful.

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared himself nor done his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

But he who had not been told it and yet did what deserved the scourge, will receive but few lashes. To whomsoever much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him a larger amount will be demanded.

"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish that it had been kindled already!

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And, answering, he said unto them - Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?

Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?

And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

And it came to pass, when he had come into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees on the sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

And they had no answer to that question.

Now he told a parable to those who had been invited [when he] noticed how they were choosing for themselves the places of honor, saying to them,

And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

Jesus said to him, "There was a man who was giving a large supper, to which he had invited a number of guests.

and at the dinner hour he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, because everything is ready now.’

For, I say unto you - Not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of my supper.

It is of no value for the soil or for the manure pile; it is to be thrown out. The one who has ears to hear had better listen!"

"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had lost.'

Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

The younger one said to his father, 'Father, [please] give me my share of your property that I have coming.' So, the father divided up what he had to live on [with his two sons].

A few days later, the younger son gathered together everything [that he had] and traveled to a distant country, and there he wasted his fortune in reckless and immoral living.

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

Now his elder brother had been in the field: and when coming home he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and the chorus.

"'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'

But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,

"But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral.

"'Remember, my child,' said Abraham, 'that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony.

It would be good [i.e., better] for him to have had a huge millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the ocean [Note: This "millstone" was a huge, circular stone rolled over grain to crush it and was moved by an animal walking in a circle], rather than having him cause one of these little ones [i.e., humble followers of the Lord] to be led astray [from God].

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Who is it, if he had a servant a plowing, or feeding cattle, that would say unto him when he were come from the field, 'Go quickly and sit down to meat.'

Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?

But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice.

And threw himself on his face at Jesus' feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.

Then Jesus said to the one [who had returned], "Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well."

"In a certain town," He said, "there was a judge who had no fear of God and no respect for man.

And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:

Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.

And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.

Then Peter said, “Look, we have left what we had and followed You.”

And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;

Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

But when they saw this, everyone began to mutter that he had gone to be the guest of a sinner.
