For you will be judged by the standard you judge by, and men will pay you back with the same measure you have used with them.

Which of you men when his son asks him for some bread will give him a stone?

Now at some distance from them there was a great drove of pigs feeding.

Some people came bringing to him on a bed a man who was paralyzed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, "Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven."

Some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is talking blasphemy!"

But just as they were going out, some people brought to him a dumb man who was possessed by a demon,

Whatever town or village you come to, inquire for some suitable person, and stay with him till you leave the place.

Whoever welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will have the same reward as a prophet, and whoever welcomes an upright man because he is upright will have the same reward as an upright man.

At that same time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding all this from the learned and intelligent and revealing it to children.

At that same time Jesus walked one Sabbath through the wheat fields, and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of wheat and eat them.

At that time some people brought to him a man blind and dumb, who was possessed by a demon, and he cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying, "Master, we would like to have you show us some sign."

That same day Jesus went out of his house and was sitting on the seashore.

and as he was sowing, some of the seed fell by the path and the birds came and ate it up,

and some fell on rocky ground where there was not much soil and it sprang up at once, because the soil was not deep,

And some of it fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it out.

And some fell on good soil, and yielded some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty-fold.

He said to them, 'This is some enemy's doing.' And they said to him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, and said to him,

They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

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

And some Pharisees came up to him to test him, and they said, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?"

For some are incapable of marriage from their birth, and some have been made so by men, and some have made themselves so for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him accept it who can."

Then some children were brought up to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray, but his disciples reproved the people for it.

He went out again about twelve and about three, and did the same.

and said, 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour, and you have put them on the same footing with us who have done the heavy work of the day and have stood the midday heat.'

Then the man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. And he answered, 'I will not!' But afterward he changed his mind and went.

Again he sent other slaves and more of them than he had sent at first, and they treated them in the same way.

On the same day some Sadducees came up to him, claiming that there is no resurrection, and they asked him this question:

These two commands sum up the whole of the Law and the Prophets."

This is why I am going to send you prophets, wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and hunt from one town to another;

that slave's master will come back some day when he does not expect him, and at some time of which he does not know

And the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

But the sensible ones answered, 'There may not be enough for us and you. You had better go to the dealers and buy yourselves some.'

In the same way the man who had received the two thousand made two thousand more.

It might have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor."

He answered, "The man who just dipped his hand in the same dish with me is going to betray me.

And he left them and went away again and prayed a third time, in the same words as before.

At that same time Jesus said to the crowd, "Have you come out to arrest me with swords and clubs, as though I were a robber? Day after day I have sat in the Temple preaching, and you never seized me.

So the words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled: "They took the thirty silver pieces, the price of the one whose price had been fixed, on whom some of the Israelites had set a price,

When Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing but that a riot was beginning instead, he took some water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying, "I am not responsible for this man's death; you must see to it yourselves."

Even the robbers who were crucified with him abused him in the same way.

Some of the bystanders when they heard it said, "The man is calling for Elijah!"

While they were on their way, some of the guard went into the city and reported to the high priests all that had happened.

And they got together and consulted with the elders, and gave the soldiers a large sum of money,

There they saw him and bowed down before him, though some were in doubt about it.

Some days later he came back to Capernaum, and people heard that he was at home,

And some people came bringing to him a man who was paralyzed, four of them carrying him.

There were some scribes sitting there pondering and saying to themselves,

How is it that he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the Presentation Loaves, which it is against the law for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some to his companions too?"

and as he was sowing, some of the seed chanced to fall by the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

Some of it fell on rocky ground, and where there was not much soil, and it sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,

Some of the seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it out, and it yielded no grain.

And some fell on good soil, and came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold."

For no one hides anything except for the purpose of sometime bringing it to light again, and people keep things secret only to reveal them some day.

That same day when it was evening he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side."

When they came to Jesus and found the demoniac sitting quietly with his clothes on and in his right mind??he same man who had been possessed by Legion??hey were frightened.

And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to some quiet place, and rest a little while." For people were coming and going in large numbers, and they had no time even for meals.

The Pharisees gathered about him with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem.

They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food without first giving their hands a ceremonial washing to purify them.

And if I send them home hungry they will give out on the way, for some of them come from a distance."

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."

When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

Some Pharisees came up, and in order to test him asked him whether a man should be allowed to divorce his wife.

Some of the bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

And he sent another; and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.

They sent some Pharisees and Herodians to him to entrap him in argument.

Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a question.

But there were some who said indignantly to themselves, "What was the use of wasting the perfume like that?

He said to them, "It is one of the Twelve, who is dipping his bread in the same dish with me.

But he persisted vehemently, "If I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And they all said the same thing.

He went away again and prayed in the same words as before.

Some got up and gave false testimony against him to this effect:

And some started to spit at him and to blindfold him and strike him, and say to him, "Now show that you are a prophet!" And the attendants slapped him as they took charge of him.

There was in prison a man called Barabbas, among some revolutionaries who in their outbreak had committed murder.

Some of the bystanders, when they heard it, said, "See! He is calling for Elijah!"

There were some women also watching from a distance, among them Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of the younger James and of Joses, and Salome,

There were some shepherds in that neighborhood keeping watch through the night over their flock in the open fields.

And he answered, "The man who has two shirts must share with the man who has none, and the man who has food must do the same."

One day as he was teaching, there were some Pharisees and experts in the Law sitting near by, who had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was there, so that he might cure people.

Some men came up carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus.

And some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what it is against the Law to do on the Sabbath?"

When the captain heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, to ask him to come and save his slave's life.

So Jesus went with them. But when he was not far from the house, the captain sent some friends to him, to say to him, "Master, do not take any more trouble, for I am not a suitable person to have you under my roof.

and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and sickness??ary, who was called Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had been driven,

"A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some of the seed fell by the path and was trodden on, and the wild birds ate it up.

And some of it fell upon the rock, and when it sprang up it withered, because it had no moisture.

And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

And some fell on good soil, and grew up and yielded a hundred fold!" As he said this he called out, "Let him who has ears to hear with, listen!"

Herod the governor heard of all that was happening, and he was perplexed because some people said that John had risen from the dead,

and some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.

I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the Kingdom of God!"

Stay at the same house, eating and drinking what they offer you, for the workman deserves his pay. Do not change from one house to another.

I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him some because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him all he needs.

But some of them said, "It is with the aid of Beelzebub, the prince of the demons, that he drives the demons out."

This is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send prophets and apostles to them, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute'??50 so that this age may be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the creation of the world,

that slave's master will come back some day when he does not expect him, and at some time of which he does not know, and will cut him in two, and put him with the unbelievers.

Just then some people came up to bring him word of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices.

Just then some Pharisees came up and said to him, "Go! Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you!"

And as he was going into one village he met ten lepers, and they stood at some distance from him,
