Now there was, at some distance from them, a herd of many swine feeding;

"Into whatever city or town you enter, inquire for some worthy person there, and stay with him until you leave.

But when John heard, in the prison, what the Christ was doing, he sent by some of his disciples to ask him,

At that time Jesus walked through the wheat fields one Sabbath Day; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck some ears of wheat and to eat them.

Then some of the Scribes and Pharisees accosted him. "Teacher," they said, "we want to see some sign from you."

So some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, and wanting to speak to you."

On that same day, after Jesus had left the house, he took his seat on the seashore;

and as he sowed, some seed fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate it.

Some fell on rocky ground where there was not much earth. Now because it had no depth of soil, it sprang up at once;

Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it.

But some fell on good soil, and bore a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

For the heart of his people is made fat, Their ears are dull of hearing; Their eyes, too, have they closed, Lest some day their eyes should perceive, And their ears should hear, And their heart should understand and turn, And I should heal them.

"'No,' he answered, 'for fear lest while you are collecting the tares, you at the same time pull up the wheat.

Then some Scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

They replied, "Some say 'John the Baptist'; others, however, say that 'He is Elijah'; others, 'Jeremiah,' or 'One of the Prophets.'"

Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

"Indeed he does," answered Peter. But on Peter's entering the house, Jesus forestalled him, saying. "How does it seem to you, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect customs or taxes??rom their own people, or from aliens?"

"How does it seem to you, when a man has a hundred sheep and loses one of them? Will he not leave the ninety and nine on the hills, to go and search for the one that has strayed?

Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"

"About nine o'clock he went out and noticed some other workmen standing idle in the market-place;

"So they went. Again at noon, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same thing.

"Take your wage and begone! I chose to give to this last man the same as to you.

"Then he went to the second, and said the same thing to him. "'I will not,' he answered; but afterward he changed his mind and went.

Again he sent other slaves, a larger number than at first, and they treated them in the same way.

That very day there came to him some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. and they questioned him.

"In the same way the second also died, and the third, unto the seventh.

"For this cause, behold! I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and pursue from city to city;

"and the foolish said to the wise, "'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

"'Not so, answered the wise, 'for there may not be enough for you and for us. Go to the shops, rather, and buy some for yourselves.'

"In the same way the one who got two talents made another two.

"Why is this waste? This perfume could have been sold for a good sum, and the money given to the poor."

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

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and some struck him with the palms of their hands, and cried.

In the same way the robbers also who were being crucified with him, dept reviling him.

When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"

Now while they were on their way, some of the guard went into the city and told the high priest all that had happened.

And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.

Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";

But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.

But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which none but priests may eat, and gave some to his men?

And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him.

and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;

some other seed fell on stony soil, where it had not much earth; and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil,

But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.

On the evening of that same day Jesus said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."

One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.

They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.

and if I send them away fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way. Moreover, some of them are from a distance."

Then they came to Bethsaida, where some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

And they told him. "Some say John the Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

"In solemn truth I tell you," he said, "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God, come with power."

When they rejoined the disciples they saw a great crowd surrounding them, and some Scribes disputing with them.

Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.

They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.

And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"

At vintage-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers to collect some of the proceeds of the vineyard;

And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others; beating some, and killing some.

But they sent some of the Pharisees to Jesus afterward, and some of the Herodians to entrap him in conversation.

Then came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned him, saying.

Some of those who were present said among themselves indignantly. "Why has the perfume been wasted like this?

"It is one of the Twelve," said Jesus, "one who is dipping into the same dish with me.

But Peter kept protesting passionately, "Though I must die with you, I will not disown you!" And they all kept saying the same.

Then he went away again and prayed, saying the same words;

Some came forward and swore falsely, saying,

Then they all condemn him to be worthy of death. Some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him while striking him and saying, "Prophesy." The officers, too, received him into custody with blows.

A man named Barabbas was there in prison, with some rioters who had committed murder during an uprising.

In the same way the high priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on mocking him to themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but himself he cannot save.

When they heard this, some of the bystanders said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah."

There were some women also watching from a distance. Among them were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome,

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.

"If you have two shirts share with him who has none; and let him who has food do the same."

And he said to them, "Exact no more than the sum allowed you."

And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

"How he entered into God's house and took and ate the Presented Loaves, and gave some to his followers, loaves which none must eat but the priests?

"And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even sinners do the same.

"A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed some fell by the wayside, and was trodden under foot, and the wild birds ate it up.

"Some other seed dropped on the rock, as soon as it grew it withered away, because it had no moisture.

"But some fell on good soil, and grew up, and brought forth fruit, a hundredfold." When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear with, let him listen."

But some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."

But Jesus said: "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me."

As he was speaking some one came from the house of the synagogue, saying. "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Master."

He bade them to get her some food. Her parents were amazed; but he forbade them to tell any one what had been done.

and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

"But I tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."

"Stay in that same house, eating and drinking what they give. for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not go from house to house.

In the same hour he thrilled with joy in the Holy Ghost. "I praise thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth," he said "for hiding these things from the wise and prudent, and for revealing them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it was well pleasing in thy sight!

But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."

"Every man who divorces his wife and marries some one else, commits adultery; and he who marries one who is put away by her husband commits adultery.

"'Remember my son.' said Abraham, 'that you had in your lifetime all your good things, and in the same way Lazarus his evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.

"'Nay, Father Abraham,' he said 'but if some one went to them from the dead they would repent.'

"The same was true in the time of Lot; they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
