So

By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”

Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.

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

So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.

For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

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

So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”

So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.

So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

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

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.

Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.

…so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with 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.

And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.

So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.

…so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

…and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

…and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

…but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

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?”

So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

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.

No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

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.

As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

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.

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.

“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

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

As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

They did so, and everyone was seated.

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.

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

So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.

So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

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 even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

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.

Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
