Then<n id="1" /> one of the synagogue rulers,<n id="2" /> named Jairus,<n id="3" /> came up, and when he saw Jesus,<n id="4" /> he fell at his feet.

<i>the stars will be falling from heaveni>, <i>and the powers in the heavens will be shakeni>.<n id="1" />

And as he sowed, some seed<n id="1" /> fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

Other seed fell on rocky ground<n id="1" /> where it did not have much soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.<n id="2" />

Other seed fell among the thorns,<n id="1" /> and they grew up and choked it,<n id="2" /> and it did not produce grain.

So they brought the boy<n id="1" /> to him. When the spirit saw him, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He<n id="2" /> fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

Going a little farther, he threw himself to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour would pass from him.

But<n id="1" /> other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.&#8221;
