<p class="bodytext">As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives<n id="1" /> sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus.<n id="2" /> He placed<n id="3" /> his hands on every one of them and healed them.

But<n id="1" /> he knew<n id="2" /> their thoughts,<n id="3" /> and said to the man who had the withered hand, &#8220;Get up and stand here.&#8221;<n id="4" /> So<n id="5" /> he rose and stood there.

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me.<n id="1" /> I say to this one, &#8216;Go,&#8217; and he goes,<n id="2" /> and to another, &#8216;Come,&#8217; and he comes, and to my slave, &#8216;Do this,&#8217; and he does it.&#8221;<n id="3" />

But<n id="1" /> other seed fell on good soil and grew,<n id="2" /> and it produced a hundred times as much grain.&#8221;<n id="3" /> As he said this,<n id="4" /> he called out, &#8220;The one who has ears to hear had better listen!&#8221;<n id="5" />p>

Those<n id="1" /> on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while,<n id="2" /> but<n id="3" /> in a time of testing<n id="4" /> fall away.<n id="5" />

As<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> stepped ashore,<n id="3" /> a certain man from the town<n id="4" /> met him who was possessed by demons.<n id="5" /> For a long time this man<n id="6" /> had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among<n id="7" /> the tombs.

But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He<n id="1" /> welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God,<n id="2" /> and cured those who needed healing.<n id="3" />

If<n id="1" /> then<n id="2" /> your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark,<n id="3" /> it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

But I will warn<n id="1" /> you whom you should fear: Fear the one who, after the killing,<n id="2" /> has authority to throw you<n id="3" /> into hell.<n id="4" /> Yes, I tell you, fear him!

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> told this parable: &#8220;A man had a fig tree<n id="3" /> planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

&#8220;Which one<n id="1" /> of you, if he has a hundred<n id="2" /> sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture<n id="3" /> and go look for<n id="4" /> the one that is lost until he finds it?<n id="5" />

I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner<n id="1" /> who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people<n id="2" /> who have no need to repent.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins<n id="1" /> and loses<n id="2" /> one of them,<n id="3" /> does not light a lamp, sweep<n id="4" /> the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?

<t /><p class="bodytext">Jesus<n id="1" /> also said to the disciples, &#8220;There was a rich man who was informed of accusations<n id="2" /> that his manager<n id="3" /> was wasting<n id="4" /> his assets.

So<n id="1" /> the Lord replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;If<n id="3" /> you had faith the size of<n id="4" /> a mustard seed, you could say to this black mulberry<n id="5" /> tree, &#8216;Be pulled out by the roots and planted in the sea,&#8217;<n id="6" /> and it would obey<n id="7" /> you.p>

They asked him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Teacher, Moses wrote for us that <i><b>ifb> <b>a man&#8217;s brother dies leavingb>i> a wife but <b><i>no children, that mani>b><n id="2" /> <i><b>must marryb>i><n id="3" /> <i><b>the widow and father childrenb>i><n id="4" /> <i><b>for his brotherb>i>.<n id="5" />

For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth.<n id="1" /> But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

For I tell you that this scripture must be<n id="1" /> fulfilled in me, &#8216;<b><i>And he was counted with the transgressorsi>b>.&#8217;<n id="2" /> For what is written about me is being fulfilled.&#8221;<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">For this is the way<n id="1" /> God loved the world: He gave his one and only<n id="2" /> Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish<n id="3" /> but have eternal life.<n id="4" />

The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly<n id="1" /> when he hears the bridegroom&#8217;s voice. This then is my joy, and it is complete.<n id="2" />
