Jesus went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them.

So the Pharisees went out immediately and began plotting with the Herodians, as to how they could assassinate him.

Now Jesus went up the mountain and called for those he wanted, and they came to him.

He appointed twelve (whom he named apostles), so that they would be with him and he could send them to preach

So he called them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan?

When he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”

Just as Jesus was getting out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs and met him.

Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

And the demonic spirits begged him, “Send us into the pigs. Let us enter them.”

Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

He strictly ordered that no one should know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not

Now when Jesus had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.

And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his tongue loosened, and he spoke plainly.

His disciples answered him, “Where can someone get enough bread in this desolate place to satisfy these people?”

He spoke openly about this. So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But I tell you that Elijah has certainly come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”

When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and experts in the law arguing with them.

When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran at once and greeted him.
