But he did not live with her as a husband until she had had a son, and he named the child Jesus.

"A cry was heard in Ramah! Weeping and great lamenting! Rachel weeping for her children, And inconsolable because they were gone."

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman with desire has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

"They were told, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'

But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife on any ground, except unfaithfulness, makes her commit adultery, and anyone who marries her after she is divorced commits adultery.

And he touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and waited on him.

And they suddenly screamed out, "What do you want of us, you Son of God? Have you come here before the appointed time to torture us?"

Just as he said this to them, an official came up and bowing low before him said to him, "My daughter has just died. But come! Lay your hand on her and she will come to life!"

And Jesus turned and saw her, and he said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has cured you!" And from that time the woman was well.

But when he had driven the people out, he went in and grasped her hand, and the girl got up.

"Here I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So you must be wise like serpents, and guileless like doves.

For I have come to turn a man against his father and a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

This is the man of whom the Scripture says, " 'Here I send my messenger on before you; He will prepare the road ahead of you.'

Now that the Son of Man has come, he does eat and drink, and people say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drinker, the companion of tax-collectors and irreligious people!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions!"

But I tell you, there is something greater than the Temple here!

"Here is my servant whom I have selected, My beloved, who delights my heart! I will endow him with my Spirit, And he will announce a judgment to the heathen.

Men of Nineveh will rise with this age at the judgment and condemn it, for when Jonah preached they repented, and there is more than Jonah here!

The queen of the south will rise with this age at the judgment and condemn it, for she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and there is more than Solomon here!

And he pointed to his disciples and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

And do not all his sisters live here among us? Then where did he get all this?"

for John said to him, "It is not right for you to be living with her."

But when Herod's birthday came, Herodias' daughter danced before the company. And Herod was delighted with her,

and swore that he would give her anything she asked for.

But she, at her mother's instigation, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter!"

And the king was sorry, but because he had sworn to do it, and because of the guests who were present, he ordered it to be given to her.

And his head was brought back on a platter and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.

They said to him, "We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish."

He said, "Bring them here to me."

But he would not answer her a word. And his disciples came up and urged him, saying, "Send her away, for she keeps screaming after us."

Then Jesus answered, "You have great faith! You shall have what you want." And her daughter was cured from that time.

I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the Son of Man come to reign!"

And Peter spoke, and said to Jesus, "Master, how good it is that we are here! If you wish, I will make three huts here, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

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!"

He said to them, "Because you have so little faith. For I tell you, if you have faith the size of a grain of mustard, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here over to there!' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

Again, I tell you, if even two of you here on earth agree about what they shall pray for, it will be given them by my Father in heaven.

They said to him, "Then why did Moses command us to draw up a written divorce-notice and give it to her?"

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife on any ground but her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."

Then Peter spoke and said to him, "Here we have left all we had and followed you. What are we to have?"

About five he went out and found others standing about and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing about here all day doing nothing?'

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came up to him with her sons, bowing low, to ask a favor of him.

He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Give orders that these two sons of mine sit one at your right and one at your left, when you are king!"

saying to them, "Go to the village that lies in front of you, and you will at once find an ass tied there, and a colt with her. Untie her and bring them to me.

"Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Here is your king coming to you, Gentle, and riding on an ass, And on the foal of a beast of burden.' "

He sent other slaves a second time, and said to them, 'Tell those who have been asked, "Here I have my banquet all ready, my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!" '

And he said to him, 'My friend, how did you happen to come here without wedding clothes?' But he had nothing to say.

At the resurrection which one's wife will she be? For they all married her."

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! murdering the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children around me, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you refused!

But he answered, "Do you see all this? I tell you, not one stone will be left here upon another but shall be torn down."

For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes here and there.

"If anyone says to you at that time, 'Look! here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it,

Here I have told you beforehand.

So if they say to you, 'There he is, in the desert!' do not go out there; 'Here he is, in a room in here!' do not believe it.

But in the middle of the night there was a shout 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out and meet him!'

And the man who had received the five thousand dollars came up bringing him five thousand more, and said, 'Sir, you put five thousand dollars in my hands; here I have made five thousand more.'

And the man who had received the two thousand came up and said, 'Sir, you put two thousand dollars into my hands; here I have made two thousand more.'

and I was frightened, and I went and hid your thousand dollars in the ground. Here is your money!'

I tell you, wherever this good news is preached all over the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, "Sit down here while I go over yonder and pray."

Then he said to them, "My heart is almost breaking. You must stay here and keep watch with me."

Get up! Let us be going! Look! Here comes my betrayer!"

Jesus said to him, "My friend, what are you here for?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and secured him.

Then the high priest tore his clothing and said, "He has uttered blasphemy! What do we want of witnesses now? Here you have heard his blasphemy!

He is not here, he has risen, as he said he would do. Come and see the place where he was lying.

As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "Here I send my messenger on before you; He will prepare your way;

Simon's mother-in-law was in bed, sick with a fever, and they immediately told him about her.

And he went up to her, and grasping her hand, he made her rise. And the fever left her, and she waited on them.

He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the neighboring country towns, so that I may preach in them, too, for that is why I came out here."

And looking around at the people sitting about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

and appealed to him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come, lay your hands on her, so that she may get well and live!"

The hemorrhage stopped at once, and she felt in her body that she was cured.

The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward frightened and trembling, and threw herself down at his feet and told him the whole truth.

And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace and be free from your disease."

And he grasped her hand and said to her, "Taleitha, koum!"??hat is to say, "Little girl, I tell you, get up!"

And he strictly forbade them to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.

Is he not the carpenter, Mary's son, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?"

For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her.

"Ask me for anything you like and I will give it to you." And he made oath to her, "I will give you whatever you ask me for, up to half my kingdom."

When she had left the room she said to her mother, "What shall I ask him for?" But she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

The king was exceedingly sorry, but on account of his oath and his guests he did not like to break his word to her,

And he went off and beheaded him in the prison and brought back his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

Now the woman was a Greek, of Syrophoenician birth. And she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

He said to her, "Let the children first eat all they want, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

He said to her, "If you can say that, go home; the demon has left your daughter."

His disciples replied, "Where can anyone get bread enough, here in this solitude, to satisfy these people's hunger?"

And he said to them, "I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the reign of God come in its might."

Then Peter spoke, and said to Jesus, "Master, how good it is that we are here! Let us put up three huts, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

He answered them and said, "O you unbelieving people, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she is an adulteress."

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." And they called the blind man and said to him, "Courage now! Get up, he is calling you!"

and said to them, "Go to the village that lies in front of you, and as soon as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

And if anybody says to you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master needs it, and will send it back here directly.' "

And the second married her, and died without leaving any child, and so did the third.

At the resurrection, which one's wife will she be? For all seven of them married her."

For they all gave of what they had to spare, but she in her want has put in everything she possessed??ll she had to live on."

Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall not be torn down."

For nation will rise in arms against nation and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes here and there, there will be famines. This is only the beginning of the sufferings.

If anyone says to you at that time, 'Look! Here is the Christ!' or 'Look! There he is!' do not believe it.

And they grumbled at her. But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you bother her? It is a fine thing that she has done to me.

I tell you, wherever the good news is preached all over the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."
