From

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

…including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.

But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

Jesus took up this question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

…from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

…and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.

But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

…and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”

As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

…who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea and was waiting for the kingdom of God.

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.

Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons.

…and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
