Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’

(For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of that man, you unclean spirit!”)

He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff – no bread, no bag, no money in their belts –

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

Then he looked up to heaven and said with a sigh, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”).

They also had a few small fish. After giving thanks for these, he told them to serve these as well.

The man said to him, “Teacher, I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these laws since my youth.”

As they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

I tell you the truth, if someone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
