Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?""What did Moses command you?" he replied.They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.""I..

And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them.His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach ..

During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said,"I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance."His disciples answered, "But where in this remo..

The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus andsaw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed.(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unl..

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples.When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles!Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas a..

They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him.This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him..

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge.He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the b..

Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath.Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save ..

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, af..

The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.It is written in Isaiah the prophet: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way"--"a voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'
