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

They cried out, “Son of God, leave us alone! Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

When the Pharisees saw this they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!”

For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their towns.

A man was there who had a withered hand. And they asked Jesus, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” so that they could accuse him.

Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and it was restored, as healthy as the other.

And pointing toward his disciples he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while the whole crowd stood on the shore.

And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

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.

But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers.

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.”

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds.

So he said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

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