When evening had come, the disciples went to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and it's already late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

All of them ate and were filled. Then the disciples picked up what was left of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

Jesus immediately had the disciples get into a boat and cross to the other side ahead of him, while he sent the crowds away.

When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and cried out, "It's a ghost!" And they screamed in terror.

"Why do your disciples disregard the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands when they eat."

Then the disciples came and asked him, "Do you realize that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"

But he didn't answer her at all. Then his disciples came up and kept urging him, "Send her away, because she keeps on screaming as she follows us."

Then Jesus called his disciples and said, "I have compassion for the crowd because they have already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away without food, or they may faint on the road."

The disciples asked him, "Where in the wilderness are we to get enough bread to feed such a crowd?"

When his disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take any bread along.

When Jesus had come to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

Then he strictly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously.

When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.

So the disciples asked him, "Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Then the disciples understood that he had been speaking to them about John the Baptist.

I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn't heal him."

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom from heaven?"

His disciples asked him, "If that is the relationship of a man with his wife, it's not worth getting married!"

Then some little children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. "How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?" they asked.

They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. They said, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and that you teach the way of God truthfully. You don't favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance.

Then Jesus told the crowds and his disciples,

He said, "Go to a certain man in the city and say to him, "The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house."'"

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it. This is my body."

Peter told him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same thing.

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane. He told the disciples, "Sit down here while I go over there and pray."

When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He told Peter, "So, you men couldn't stay awake with me for one hour, could you?

Then he came back to the disciples and told them, "You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Therefore, order the tomb to be secured until the third day, or his disciples may go and steal him and then tell the people, "He has been raised from the dead.' Then the last deception would be worse than the first one."

Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee, and you will see him there. Remember, I have told you!"

So they quickly left the tomb, terrified but also ecstatic, and ran to tell Jesus' disciples.

They said, "Say that Jesus' disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.

The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the hillside to which Jesus had directed them.

Later, he was having dinner at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and sinners were also eating with Jesus and his disciples, because there were many who were following him.

When the scribes and the Pharisees saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees would fast regularly. Some people came and asked Jesus, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

Jesus happened to be going through the grain fields on a Sabbath. As they made their way, his disciples began picking the heads of grain.

So Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. A large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

Jesus told his disciples to have a boat ready for him so that the crowd wouldn't crush him,

Then he went home. Such a large crowd gathered again that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.

He did not tell them anything without using a parable, though he explained everything to his disciples in private.

His disciples asked him, "You see the crowd jostling you, and yet you ask, "Who touched me?'"

Jesus left that place and went back to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

When John's disciples heard about this, they came and carried off his body and laid it in a tomb.

When it was quite late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and it's already late.

Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

Then the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of leftover bread and fish.

Jesus immediately had his disciples get into a boat and cross to Bethsaida ahead of him, while he sent the crowd away.

He saw that his disciples were straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he came to them, walking on the sea. He intended to go up right beside them,

Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped blowing. The disciples were utterly astounded,

They noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them.

So the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with unclean hands."

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples began asking him about the parable.

At that time, after a large crowd again had gathered together with nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and told them,

His disciples answered him, "Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people out here in the wilderness?"

So he ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to distribute. So they served them to the crowd.

The people ate and were filled. Then the disciples picked up the leftover pieces seven large baskets full.

Then Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he was asking his disciples, "Who do people say I am?"

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, because you're not thinking God's thoughts, but human thoughts!"

Then Jesus called the crowd to himself along with his disciples and told them, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously,

As they approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and some scribes arguing with them.
