Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur.

When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain. After he sat down his disciples came to him.

But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer. But whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.

When it was evening, many demon-possessed people were brought to him. He drove out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.

And the men were amazed and said, “What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!”

Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

“Whoever, then, acknowledges me before people, I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

But when the Pharisees saw this they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is against the law to do on the Sabbath.”

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside, asking to speak to him.

To the one who had said this, Jesus replied, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?”

For whoever has will be given more, and will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

So the slaves of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’

He said, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the slaves replied, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them?’

And so they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house.”

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.

Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water.”

When the people there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him.

So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him: “God forbid, Lord! This must not happen to you!”

Then Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him, and the boy was healed from that moment.

And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
