Now there was a woman in the town who was a sinner, and when she found out that Jesus was at table in the house of the Pharisee, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume

“Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

whatever is now obscure, shall hereafter be made clear; whatever is now conceal'd, shall then be publickly known.

Now his mother and brothers came to him, and they were not able to meet with him because of the crowd.

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

Now, as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a hurricane of wind upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and to be in peril.

Now when Jesus stepped out on land, He was met by a man from the city [of Gerasa] who was possessed with demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and was not living in a house, but among the tombs.

Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside.

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Now as Jesus was returning [to Galilee], the people welcomed Him, for they had all been expecting Him.

Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but could not be healed by anyone.

Now [when he] came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.

Now the day was ending, and the twelve [disciples] came and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging, and get provisions; because here we are in an isolated place.”

Now there were about 5,000 men. So he told his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about 50."

Now it happened that as Jesus was praying privately, the disciples were with Him, and He asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

Now about eight days after these teachings, He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

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

Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.

Now [when] the disciples James and John saw [it], they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

Now I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day, than for that city.

"Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

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.

Now, if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

Now if I drive out the demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons [the Jewish exorcists] drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

but if I cast out demons by the finger of God, it follows, that the reign of the Messiah is now begun among you.

Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

"But woe to you Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb; but ye pass by judgment and the love of God. Now these things it was needful to do, and not to leave those undone.

Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.

Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

Now one Sabbath when Jesus went to dine at the house of a leader of the Pharisees, they were watching him closely.

now there happen'd to be a man just by him, who had a dropsy.

For my son here was dead [spiritually], but is [now] alive again. He was lost [from me], but [now] is found.' And they began to celebrate.

Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'

But it was [only] proper that we celebrate and have a good time, for this brother of yours was dead [spiritually], but is [now] alive again; he was lost [from me] but [now] is found.'"
