“ Herod on his birthday
gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes
and the principal people in Galilee,
006:022 at which Herodias's own daughter came in and danced,
and so charmed Herod and his guests that he said to her,
"Ask me for anything you please, and I will give it to you."
006:023 He even swore to her, "Whatever you ask me for I will give you,
up to half my kingdom."
006:024 She at once went out and said to her mother: "What shall I ask for?"
"The head of John the Baptizer," she replied. ”

“ And they came and asked Him, "How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?"
002:019 "Can a wedding party fast while the bridegroom is among them?" replied Jesus. "So long as they have the bridegroom with them, fasting is impossible. ”

“ Himself and His disciples and a great crowd—Bartimaeus (the son
of Timaeus) , a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side.
010:047 Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out,
"Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me."
010:048 Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried
out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me."
010:049 Then Jesus stood still. "Call him," He said. So they called
the blind man. "Cheer up," they said; "rise, he is calling you." ”

“ Soon afterwards the bystanders again accused Peter, saying, "You are surely one of them, for you too are a Galilaean."
014:071 But he broke out into curses and oaths, declaring, "I know nothing of the man you are talking about."
014:072 No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed for the second time, and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, "Before the cock crows twice, you will three times disown me." ”

“ So He called His
disciples to Him.
008:002 "My heart yearns over the people," He said; "for this is now
the third day they have remained with me, and they have
nothing to eat.
008:003 If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way,
some of them having come a great distance."
008:004 "Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place
to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.
008:005 "How many loaves have you?" He asked. "Seven," they said. ”

“ Let us put up three tents—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
009:006 For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.
009:007 Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him."
009:008 Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.
009:009 As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen "until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead." ”

“ So he rose and followed Him.
002:015 When He was sitting at table in Levi's house, a large number of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners were at table with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many such who habitually followed Him.
002:016 But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with
the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples,
"He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!"
002:017 Jesus heard the words, and He said, "It is not the healthy
who require a doctor, but the sick: I did not come to appeal
to the righteous, but to sinners." ”

“ By making use of my name they shall expel demons.
They shall speak new languages.
016:018 They shall take up venomous snakes, and if they drink any deadly
poison it shall do them no harm whatever. They shall lay
their hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover."
016:019 So the Lord Jesus after having thus spoken to them was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
016:020 But they went out and made proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their Message by the signs which accompanied it. ”

“ Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.
010:033 "See," He said, "we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles;
010:034 they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him,
and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise
to life again."
010:035 Then James and John, the sons of Zabdi, came up to Him
and said, "Rabbi, we wish you would grant us whatever request
we make of you." ”

“ Instantly he
regained his sight, and followed Him along the road.
011:001 When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at
Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent
two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.
011:002 "Go," He said, "to the village facing you, and immediately
on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no
one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here. ”

“ And as he thought of it, he wept aloud.
015:001 At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.
015:002 So Pilate questioned Him. "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.
015:003 Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,
015:004 Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."
015:005 But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered. ”

“ He was speaking His Message to them,
002:003 when there came a party of people bringing a paralytic— four men carrying him.
002:004 Finding themselves unable, however, to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they untiled the roof just over His head, and after clearing an opening they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
002:005 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "My son,
your sins are pardoned."
002:006 Now there were some of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning
in their hearts.
002:007 "Why does this man use such words?" they said; "he is blaspheming. ”

“ He said, "and the Kingdom of God
is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
001:016 One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
001:017 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
001:018 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
001:019 Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them. ”

“ He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
004:014 "What the sower sows is the Message.
004:015 Those who receive the seed by the way-side are those in whom
the Message is sown, but, when they have heard it, Satan comes
at once and carries away the Message sown in them.
004:016 In the same way those who receive the seed on the rocky
places are those who, when they have heard the Message,
at once accept it joyfully,
004:017 but they have no root within them. ”

“ They were afraid of the people;
for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.
011:033 So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you,"
said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
012:001 Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.
012:002 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes. ”

“ No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
012:035 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
012:036 David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
012:037 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus. ”

“ He said;
"it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it
to the dogs."
007:028 "True, Sir," she replied, "and yet the dogs under the table
eat the children's scraps."
007:029 "For those words of yours, go home," He replied; "the demon
has gone out of your daughter."
007:030 So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed,
and the demon gone.
007:031 Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district of the Ten Towns. ”

“ For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother— my sister—and my mother."
004:001 Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water.
004:002 Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,
004:003 "Listen: the sower goes out to sow. ”

“ New wine needs fresh skins!"
002:023 One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His
disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went.
002:024 So the Pharisees said to Him, "Look! why are they doing what on
the Sabbath is unlawful?"
002:025 "Have you never read," Jesus replied, "what David did when
the necessity arose and he and his men were hungry:
002:026 how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves—which none but the priests are allowed to eat—and gave some to his men also?" ”

“ And he sent
many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some
and killing others.
012:006 He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son:
him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my
son with respect.'
012:007 "But those men—the vine-dressers—said to one another,
"'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property
will one day be ours.'
012:008 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard. ”

“ Jesus replied; "not one
stone will be left here upon another—not thrown down."
013:003 He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple,
when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,
013:004 "Tell us, When will these things be? ”

“ He has chosen for Himself He has cut short the days.
013:021 "At that time if any one says to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'See, He is there!' do not believe it.
013:022 For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying signs and prodigies with a view to lead astray— if indeed that were possible—even God's own People. ”

“ He summoned up courage to go in to see Pilate and beg for the body of Jesus.
015:044 But Pilate could hardly believe that He was already dead. He called, however, for the Centurion and inquired whether He had been long dead;
015:045 and having ascertained the fact he granted the body to Joseph.
015:046 He, having bought a sheet of linen, took Him down, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb hewn in the rock; after which he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
015:047 Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was put. ”

“ They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;
005:043 but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be
made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
006:001 Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied
by His disciples.
006:002 On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? ”

“ And many things of that kind you do."
007:014 Then Jesus called the people to Him again. "Listen to me,
all of you," He said, "and understand.
007:015 There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean."
007:016 []
007:017 After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.
007:018 "Have *you* also so little understanding?" He replied;
"do you not understand that anything whatever that enters
a man from outside cannot make him unclean ”
