When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, to the unquenchable fire.

If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

“Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!”

A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.”

His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

A member of the crowd said to him, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that makes him mute.

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.”

Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road.

But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all of them said the same thing.

Then he cried out with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I implore you by God – do not torment me!”

But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you.”

As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, “You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
