Now the next day, as they went out from Bethany, he was hungry.

But those tenants seized his slave, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:

Yet even on this point their testimony did not agree.

Then the chief priests began to accuse him repeatedly.

They shouted back, “Crucify him!”

It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.

After throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!”

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.”
