Now when evening came, when the sun set, they brought him all who were ill or possessed by daemons ??33 indeed the whole town was gathered at the door ??34 and he cured many who were ill with various diseases and cast out many daemons; but as the daemons knew him he would not let them say anything.

and they watched to see if he would heal him on the sabbath, so as to get a charge against him.

He would not allow anyone to accompany him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

whatever village or town or hamlet he went to, they would lay their invalids in the marketplace, begging him to let them touch even the tassel of his robe ??and all who touched him recovered.

And a deaf man who stammered was brought to him, with the request that he would lay his hand on him.

Then they reached Bethsaida. A blind man was brought to him with the request that he would touch him.

for he was teaching his disciples, telling them that the Son of man would be betrayed into the hands of men, that they would kill him, and that when he was killed he would rise again after three days.

and would not allow anyone to carry a vessel through the temple;

Had not the Lord cut short those days, not a soul would be saved alive; but he has cut them short for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen.

"Only," they said, "it must not be during the festival; that would mean a popular riot."

Pilate replied, "Would you like me to release the king of the Jews for you?"

They offered him wine flavoured with myrrh, but he would not take it.

but although they heard he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

They too went and reported it to the rest, but they would not believe them either.
