He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”

When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

…because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

(There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

“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?

When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
