<t /><p class="bodytext">While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus<n id="1" /> from one town after another,<n id="2" /> he spoke to them<n id="3" /> in a parable:

But Jesus said, &#8220;Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out<n id="1" /> from me.&#8221;

Then<n id="1" /> he said to her, &#8220;Daughter, your faith has made you well.<n id="2" /> Go in peace.&#8221;p>

Her<n id="1" /> parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one<n id="2" /> what had happened.p>

(Now about five thousand men<n id="1" /> were there.)<n id="2" /> Then<n id="3" /> he said to his disciples, &#8220;Have<n id="4" /> them sit down in groups of about fifty each.&#8221;

But Jesus said to him, &#8220;Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> they were walking<n id="2" /> along the road, someone said to him, &#8220;I will follow you wherever you go.&#8221;<n id="3" />

But whenever<n id="1" /> you enter a town<n id="2" /> and the people<n id="3" /> do not welcome<n id="4" /> you, go into its streets<n id="5" /> and say,

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> turned<n id="3" /> to his<n id="4" /> disciples and said privately, &#8220;Blessed<n id="5" /> are the eyes that see what you see!

<p class="bodytext">But the expert,<n id="1" /> wanting to justify<n id="2" /> himself, said to Jesus, &#8220;And who is my neighbor?&#8221;

But the Lord<n id="1" /> answered her,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Martha, Martha,<n id="3" /> you are worried and troubled<n id="4" /> about many things,

But some of them said, &#8220;By the power of Beelzebul,<n id="1" /> the ruler<n id="2" /> of demons, he casts out demons.&#8221;

But he replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey<n id="2" /> it!&#8221;p>

for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment<n id="1" /> what you must say.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

But Jesus<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8220;Man,<n id="2" /> who made me a judge or arbitrator between you two?&#8221;<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Peter said, &#8220;Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?&#8221;<n id="2" />

When<n id="1" /> Jesus saw her, he called her to him<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Woman,<n id="3" /> you are freed<n id="4" /> from your infirmity.&#8221;<n id="5" />

But Jesus<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8220;A man once gave a great banquet<n id="2" /> and invited<n id="3" /> many guests.<n id="4" />

Then<n id="1" /> the slave said, &#8216;Sir, what you instructed has been done, and there is still room.&#8217;<n id="2" />

Then<n id="1" /> the father<n id="2" /> said to him, &#8216;Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.
