Some Women Accompany Jesus

8After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another, preaching and spreading the good news about God's kingdom. His twelve disciples were with him,G2532G1096G1722G2517G2532G846G1353G2596G4172G2532G2968G2784G2532G2097G932G2316G2532G1427G4862G846
2as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and illnesses: Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;G2532G5100G1135G3739G2258G2323G575G4190G4151G2532G769G3137G2564G3094G575G3739G1831G2033G1140
3Joanna, the wife of Herod's household manager Chuza; Susanna; and many others. These women continued to support them out of their personal resources.1G2532G2489G1135G5529G2264G2012G2532G4677G2532G4183G2087G3748G1247G846G575G846G5224

The Parable about a Farmer

4Now while a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from every city, he said in a parable:G1161G4183G3793G4896G2532G1975G4314G846G2596G4172G2036G1223G3850
5"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, were trampled on, and birds from the sky ate them up.G4687G1831G4687G846G4703G2532G1722G846G4687G3739G3303G4098G3844G3598G2532G2662G2532G4071G3772G2719G846
6Others fell on stony ground, and as soon as they came up, they dried up because they had no moisture.G2532G2087G4098G1909G4073G2532G5453G3583G1223G3361G2192G2429
7Others fell among thorn bushes, and the thorn bushes grew with them and choked them.G2532G2087G4098G1722G3319G173G2532G173G4855G638G1970G846
8But others fell on good soil, and when they came up, they produced a hundred times as much as was planted." As he said this, he called out, "Let the person who has ears to hear, listen!"G2532G2087G4098G1909G18G1093G2532G5453G4160G2590G1542G3004G5023G5455G2192G3775G191G191

The Purpose of the Parables

9Then his disciples began to ask him what this parable meant.G1161G846G3101G1905G846G3004G5101G1498G3778G3850G1498
10So he said, "You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom of God. But to others they are given in parables, so that 'they might look but not see, and they might listen but not understand.'"G1161G2036G5213G1325G1097G3466G932G2316G1161G3062G1722G3850G2443G991G991G3361G991G2532G191G4920G3361G4920

Jesus Explains the Parable about the Farmer

11"Now this is what the parable means. The seed is God's word.G1161G3850G2076G3778G4703G2076G3056G2316
12The ones on the path are the people who listen, but then the devil comes and takes the word away from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.G1161G3844G3598G1526G191G1534G2064G1228G2532G142G3056G575G846G2588G3363G4100G4982
13The ones on the stony ground are the people who joyfully welcome the word when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.G1161G1909G4073G3739G3752G191G1209G3056G3326G5479G2532G3778G2192G3756G4491G3739G4314G2540G4100G2532G1722G2540G3986G868
14The ones that fell among the thorn bushes are the people who listen, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries, wealth, and pleasures of life, and their fruit doesn't mature.G1161G4098G1519G173G1526G3778G191G4198G2532G4846G5259G3308G2532G4149G2532G2237G979G2532G5052G3756G5052
15But the ones on the good soil are the people who hear the word but also hold on to it with good and honest hearts, producing a crop through endurance."G1161G1722G2570G1093G1526G3778G3748G1722G2570G2532G18G2588G191G3056G2722G2532G2592G1722G5281

A Light under a Bowl

16"No one lights a lamp and hides it under a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a lamp stand so that those who come in will see the light.G1161G3762G681G3088G2572G846G4632G2228G5087G5270G2825G235G2007G1909G3087G2443G1531G991G5457
17There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing secret that will not become known and come to light.G1063G3756G2076G2927G3739G1096G3756G1096G5318G3761G614G3739G1097G3756G1097G2532G2064G1519G5318
18So pay attention to how you listen, because to the one who has something, more will be given. However, from the one who doesn't have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."G991G3767G4459G191G1063G3739G302G2192G846G1325G2532G3739G302G2192G3361G575G846G142G2532G3739G1380G2192

The True Family of Jesus

19His mother and his brothers came to him, but they couldn't get near him because of the crowd.G1161G3854G4314G846G3384G2532G846G80G2532G1410G3756G4940G846G1223G3793
20Jesus was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and want to see you."G2532G518G846G3004G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G2476G1854G2309G1492G4571
21But he answered those people, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."G1161G611G2036G4314G846G3450G3384G2532G3450G80G1526G3778G3588G191G3056G2316G2532G4160G846

Jesus Calms the Sea

22One day Jesus and his disciples got into a boat. He said to them, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake." So they started out.G2532G1096G1722G3391G2250G2532G846G1684G1519G4143G2532G846G3101G2532G2036G4314G846G1330G1519G4008G3041G2532G321
23Now as they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A violent storm swept over the lake, and they were taking on water and were in great danger.G1161G846G4126G879G2532G2597G2978G417G1519G3041G2532G4845G2532G2793
24So his disciples went to him, woke him up, and kept telling him, "Master! Master! We're going to die!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. They stopped, and there was calm.G1161G4334G1326G846G3004G1988G1988G622G1161G1453G2008G417G2532G2830G5204G2532G3973G2532G1096G1055
25Then he asked the disciples, "Where's your faith?" Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, "Who is this man? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!"G1161G2036G846G4226G2076G5216G4102G1161G5399G2296G3004G4314G240G5101G686G2076G3778G3754G2004G2532G417G2532G5204G2532G5219G846

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Man

26They landed in the region of the Gerasenes, which is just across the lake from Galilee.G2532G2668G1519G5561G1046G3748G2076G495G1056
27When Jesus stepped out on the shore, a man from the city met him. This man was controlled by demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house but in the tombs.G1161G846G1831G1909G1093G5221G846G1537G4172G5100G435G3739G2192G1140G1537G2425G5550G2532G1737G3756G2440G2532G3756G3306G1722G3614G235G1722G3418
28When he saw Jesus, he screamed, fell down in front of him, and cried out in a loud voice, "What do you want from me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!"G1161G1492G2424G349G2532G4363G846G2532G3173G5456G2036G5101G1698G2532G4671G2424G5207G2316G5310G1189G4675G928G3165G3361
29because Jesus was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spirit had seized the man, and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places.27G1063G3853G3853G169G4151G1831G575G444G1063G4183G5550G4884G846G2532G5442G1196G254G2532G3976G2532G1284G1199G1643G5259G1142G1519G2048
30Jesus asked the man, "What's your name?" He answered, "Legion," because many demons had gone into him.G1161G2424G1905G846G3004G5101G2076G4671G3686G1161G2036G3003G3754G4183G1140G1525G1519G846
31Then the demons began begging Jesus not to order them to go into the bottomless pit.G2532G3870G3870G846G3363G2004G3363G2004G846G565G1519G12
32Now a large herd of pigs was grazing there on the hillside. So the demons begged Jesus to let them go into those pigs, and he consented to that.G1161G2258G1563G34G2425G5519G1006G1722G3735G2532G3870G846G2443G2010G846G1525G1519G1565G2532G2010G846
33Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.G1161G1831G1140G575G444G1525G1519G5519G2532G34G3729G2596G2911G1519G3041G2532G638
34Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside.G1161G1006G1492G1096G5343G2532G565G518G1519G4172G2532G1519G68
35So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.G1161G1831G1492G1096G2532G2064G4314G2424G2532G2147G444G575G3739G1140G1831G2521G3844G4228G2424G2439G2532G4993G2532G5399
36The people who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.G1161G2532G1492G518G846G4459G1139G4982
37Then all the people from the region surrounding the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were terrified. So he got into a boat and started back.G2532G537G4128G4066G1046G4066G2065G846G565G575G846G3754G4912G3173G5401G1161G846G1684G1519G4143G5290
38Now the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging Jesus to let him go with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,G1161G435G575G3739G1140G1831G1189G846G1511G4862G846G1161G2424G630G846G630G3004
39"Go home and tell what God has done for you." So the man left and kept proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.G5290G1519G4675G3624G2532G1334G3745G2316G4160G4671G2532G565G2784G2596G3650G4172G3745G2424G4160G846

Jesus Heals a Woman and Resurrects a Girl

40When Jesus came back, the crowd welcomed him, because everyone was expecting him.G1161G1096G1722G2424G5290G3793G588G846G1063G2258G3956G4328G846
41Just then a synagogue leader by the name of Jairus arrived. He fell at Jesus' feet and kept begging him to come to his home,G2532G2400G2064G435G3739G3686G2383G2532G846G5225G758G4864G2532G4098G3844G2424G4228G3870G846G1525G1519G846G3624
42because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. While Jesus was on his way, the crowds continued to press in on him.G3754G846G2258G3439G2364G5613G1427G2094G2532G3778G846G599G1161G1722G846G5217G3793G4846G846
43A woman was there who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. Although she had spent all she had on doctors, no one could heal her.G2532G1135G5607G1722G4511G129G1427G575G2094G3748G4321G3650G979G1519G2395G3756G2480G2323G5259G3762
44She came up behind Jesus and touched the tassel of his garment, and her bleeding stopped at once.G4334G3693G680G2899G846G2440G2532G3916G846G4511G129G2476
45Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" While everyone was denying it, Peter and those who were with him said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing in on you."G2532G2424G2036G5101G680G3450G1161G3956G720G4074G2532G3326G846G2036G1988G3793G4912G4571G2532G598G2532G3004G5101G680G3450
46Still Jesus said, "Somebody touched me, because I know that power has gone out of me."G1161G2424G2036G5100G680G3450G1063G1473G1097G1411G1831G575G1700
47When the woman saw that she couldn't hide, she came forward trembling. Bowing down in front of him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched Jesus and how she had been instantly healed.G1161G1135G1492G3754G2990G3756G2990G2064G5141G2532G4363G846G518G846G1799G3956G2992G1223G3739G156G680G846G2532G5613G2390G3916
48Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."47G1161G2036G846G2364G2293G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G4198G1519G1515
49While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's home and told him, "Your daughter is dead. Stop bothering the teacher anymore."8G846G2089G2980G2064G5100G3844G752G3004G846G3754G4675G2364G2348G4660G3361G1320
50But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well."G1161G2424G191G611G846G3004G5399G3361G4100G3440G2532G4982
51When he arrived at the man's house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the young girl's father and mother.G1161G1525G1519G3614G863G3756G3762G1525G1508G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G3962G2532G3384G3816
52Now everyone was crying and wailing for her. But Jesus said, "Stop crying! She's not dead. She's sleeping."G1161G3956G2799G2532G2875G846G1161G2036G2799G3361G599G3756G599G235G2518
53They laughed and laughed at him, because they knew she was dead.G2532G2606G846G2606G1492G3754G599
54But he took her hand and called out, "Young lady, get up!"G1161G846G1544G3956G1854G2532G2902G846G5495G5455G3004G3816G1453
55So her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then Jesus directed that she be given something to eat.G2532G846G4151G1994G2532G450G3916G2532G1299G1325G846G5315
56Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.G2532G846G1118G1839G1161G3853G846G2036G3367G1096
