Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”

Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.

Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

…and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

…and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel

They answered, “Grant that one of us may sit at Your right hand and the other at Your left in Your glory.”

…and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.

“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.

You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”

One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.

For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.

They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

…as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

“Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

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!”

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
