But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.

In the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law and elders – were mocking him:

Now when Jesus heard this he went away from there privately in a boat to an isolated place. But when the crowd heard about it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!”

And if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your message, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or that town.

A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

Now the ones who had arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, in whose house the experts in the law and the elders had gathered.

Then the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Now you have heard the blasphemy!

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into fiery hell.

Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

So then, be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors.

Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

This fulfilled what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet:

Now when Jesus finished these parables, he moved on from there.

After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

The second did the same, and the third, down to the seventh.
