Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of him went out through all the surrounding country.

"Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you arethe Holy One of God!"

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

While he was in one of the cities, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

When they could not find a way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

And Jesus said to them, "Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?

Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"

But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

When he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,

And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

When Jesus heard this, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel."

Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; because many demons had entered him.

Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,

"Return to your home, and tell how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,

And Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"

But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me."

But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be well."

As the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"not knowing what he said.

When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

Then Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

While he was coming, the demon threw him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he that is not against you is for you."

And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

At that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for so it was your good pleasure.

But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing, beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

And Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

But Jesus called them to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

While he was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.

But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they divided his garments and cast lots.

Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." And having said this, he breathed his last.

This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

While they talked and discussed, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.

And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
