I looked out into the night and saw a man riding on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in the hollow, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.

When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

…and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.

As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.

And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.

Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

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

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
