Many Women Minister to Jesus

8Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,G2532G1096G1722G2517G2532G846G1353G2596G4172G2532G2968G2784G2532G2097G932G2316G2532G1427G4862G846 2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,G2532G5100G1135G3739G2258G2323G575G4190G4151G2532G769G3137G2564G3094G575G3739G1831G2033G1140 3and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.G2532G2489G1135G5529G2264G2012G2532G4677G2532G4183G2087G3748G1247G846G575G846G5224

The Parable of the Sower

4And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:G1161G4183G3793G4896G2532G1975G4314G846G2596G4172G2036G1223G3850 5"A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.G4687G1831G4687G846G4703G2532G1722G846G4687G3739G3303G4098G3844G3598G2532G2662G2532G4071G3772G2719G846 6"Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.G2532G2087G4098G1909G4073G2532G5453G3583G1223G3361G2192G2429 7"And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.G2532G2087G4098G1722G3319G173G2532G173G4855G638G1970G846 8"But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold." When He had said these things He cried, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"G2532G2087G4098G1909G18G1093G2532G5453G4160G2590G1542G3004G5023G5455G2192G3775G191G191

The Purpose of Parables

9Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"G1161G846G3101G1905G846G3004G5101G1498G3778G3850G1498 10And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'G1161G2036G5213G1325G1097G3466G932G2316G1161G3062G1722G3850G2443G991G991G3361G991G2532G191G4920G3361G4920

The Parable of the Sower Explained

11"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.G1161G3850G2076G3778G4703G2076G3056G2316 12"Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.G1161G3844G3598G1526G191G1534G2064G1228G2532G142G3056G575G846G2588G3363G4100G4982 13"But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.G1161G1909G4073G3739G3752G191G1209G3056G3326G5479G2532G3778G2192G3756G4491G3739G4314G2540G4100G2532G1722G2540G3986G868 14"Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.G1161G4098G1519G173G1526G3778G191G4198G2532G4846G5259G3308G2532G4149G2532G2237G979G2532G5052G3756G5052 15"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.G1161G1722G2570G1093G1526G3778G3748G1722G2570G2532G18G2588G191G3056G2722G2532G2592G1722G5281

The Parable of the Revealed Light

16"No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.G1161G3762G681G3088G2572G846G4632G2228G5087G5270G2825G235G2007G1909G3087G2443G1531G991G5457 17"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.G1063G3756G2076G2927G3739G1096G3756G1096G5318G3761G614G3739G1097G3756G1097G2532G2064G1519G5318 18"Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."G991G3767G4459G191G1063G3739G302G2192G846G1325G2532G3739G302G2192G3361G575G846G142G2532G3739G1380G2192

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him

19Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.G1161G3854G4314G846G3384G2532G846G80G2532G1410G3756G4940G846G1223G3793 20And it was told Him by some, who said, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You."G2532G518G846G3004G4675G3384G2532G4675G80G2476G1854G2309G1492G4571 21But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."G1161G611G2036G4314G846G3450G3384G2532G3450G80G1526G3778G3588G191G3056G2316G2532G4160G846

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus

22Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out.G2532G1096G1722G3391G2250G2532G846G1684G1519G4143G2532G846G3101G2532G2036G4314G846G1330G1519G4008G3041G2532G321 23But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.G1161G846G4126G879G2532G2597G2978G417G1519G3041G2532G4845G2532G2793 24And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.G1161G4334G1326G846G3004G1988G1988G622G1161G1453G2008G417G2532G2830G5204G2532G3973G2532G1096G1055 25But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"G1161G2036G846G4226G2076G5216G4102G1161G5399G2296G3004G4314G240G5101G686G2076G3778G3754G2004G2532G417G2532G5204G2532G5219G846

A Demon-Possessed Man Healed

26Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.G2532G2668G1519G5561G1046G3748G2076G495G1056 27And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs.G1161G846G1831G1909G1093G5221G846G1537G4172G5100G435G3739G2192G1140G1537G2425G5550G2532G1737G3756G2440G2532G3756G3306G1722G3614G235G1722G3418 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"G1161G1492G2424G349G2532G4363G846G2532G3173G5456G2036G5101G1698G2532G4671G2424G5207G2316G5310G1189G4675G928G3165G3361 29For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.G1063G3853G3853G169G4151G1831G575G444G1063G4183G5550G4884G846G2532G5442G1196G254G2532G3976G2532G1284G1199G1643G5259G1142G1519G2048 30Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.G1161G2424G1905G846G3004G5101G2076G4671G3686G1161G2036G3003G3754G4183G1140G1525G1519G846 31And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.G2532G3870G3870G846G3363G2004G3363G2004G846G565G1519G12 32Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.G1161G2258G1563G34G2425G5519G1006G1722G3735G2532G3870G846G2443G2010G846G1525G1519G1565G2532G2010G846 33Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.G1161G1831G1140G575G444G1525G1519G5519G2532G34G3729G2596G2911G1519G3041G2532G638 34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.G1161G1006G1492G1096G5343G2532G565G518G1519G4172G2532G1519G68 35Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.G1161G1831G1492G1096G2532G2064G4314G2424G2532G2147G444G575G3739G1140G1831G2521G3844G4228G2424G2439G2532G4993G2532G5399 36They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.G1161G2532G1492G518G846G4459G1139G4982 37Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.G2532G537G4128G4066G1046G4066G2065G846G565G575G846G3754G4912G3173G5401G1161G846G1684G1519G4143G5290 38Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,G1161G435G575G3739G1140G1831G1189G846G1511G4862G846G1161G2424G630G846G630G3004 39"Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.G5290G1519G4675G3624G2532G1334G3745G2316G4160G4671G2532G565G2784G2596G3650G4172G3745G2424G4160G846

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

40So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.G1161G1096G1722G2424G5290G3793G588G846G1063G2258G3956G4328G846 41And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house,G2532G2400G2064G435G3739G3686G2383G2532G846G5225G758G4864G2532G4098G3844G2424G4228G3870G846G1525G1519G846G3624 42for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.G3754G846G2258G3439G2364G5613G1427G2094G2532G3778G846G599G1161G1722G846G5217G3793G4846G846 43Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,G2532G1135G5607G1722G4511G129G1427G575G2094G3748G4321G3650G979G1519G2395G3756G2480G2323G5259G3762 44came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.G4334G3693G680G2899G846G2440G2532G3916G846G4511G129G2476 45And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"G2532G2424G2036G5101G680G3450G1161G3956G720G4074G2532G3326G846G2036G1988G3793G4912G4571G2532G598G2532G3004G5101G680G3450 46But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me."G1161G2424G2036G5100G680G3450G1063G1473G1097G1411G1831G575G1700 47Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.G1161G1135G1492G3754G2990G3756G2990G2064G5141G2532G4363G846G518G846G1799G3956G2992G1223G3739G156G680G846G2532G5613G2390G3916 48And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."G1161G2036G846G2364G2293G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G4198G1519G1515 49While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."G846G2089G2980G2064G5100G3844G752G3004G846G3754G4675G2364G2348G4660G3361G1320 50But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."G1161G2424G191G611G846G3004G5399G3361G4100G3440G2532G4982 51When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.G1161G1525G1519G3614G863G3756G3762G1525G1508G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G3962G2532G3384G3816 52Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."G1161G3956G2799G2532G2875G846G1161G2036G2799G3361G599G3756G599G235G2518 53And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.G2532G2606G846G2606G1492G3754G599 54But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise."G1161G846G1544G3956G1854G2532G2902G846G5495G5455G3004G3816G1453 55Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.G2532G846G4151G1994G2532G450G3916G2532G1299G1325G846G5315 56And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.G2532G846G1118G1839G1161G3853G846G2036G3367G1096
