So<n id="1" /> Jesus said to them, &#8220;You cannot make the wedding guests<n id="2" /> fast while the bridegroom<n id="3" /> is with them, can you?<n id="4" />

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered them,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Haven&#8217;t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry &#8211;

Then<n id="1" /> Jesus said to them, &#8220;I ask you,<n id="2" /> is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?&#8221;

After<n id="1" /> looking around<n id="2" /> at them all, he said to the man,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Stretch out your hand.&#8221; The man<n id="4" /> did so, and his hand was restored.<n id="5" />

Then<n id="1" /> he came up<n id="2" /> and touched<n id="3" /> the bier,<n id="4" /> and those who carried it stood still. He<n id="5" /> said, &#8220;Young man, I say to you, get up!&#8221;

So<n id="1" /> Jesus answered him,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Simon, I have something to say to you.&#8221; He replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Say it, Teacher.&#8221;

But he replied<n id="1" /> to them, &#8220;My mother and my brothers are those<n id="2" /> who hear the word of God and do it.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Jesus then<n id="1" /> asked him, &#8220;What is your name?&#8221; He<n id="2" /> said, &#8220;Legion,&#8221;<n id="3" /> because many demons had entered him.

Now they were all<n id="1" /> wailing and mourning<n id="2" /> for her, but he said, &#8220;Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep.&#8221;

He<n id="1" /> said to them, &#8220;Take nothing for your<n id="2" /> journey &#8211; no staff,<n id="3" /> no bag,<n id="4" /> no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic.<n id="5" />

Herod said, &#8220;I had John<n id="1" /> beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?&#8221; So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus.<n id="2" />p>

Then<n id="1" /> they were all astonished at the mighty power<n id="2" /> of God.p><t /><p class="bodytext">But while the entire crowd<n id="3" /> was amazed at everything Jesus<n id="4" /> was doing, he said to his disciples,

<t /><p class="bodytext">John answered,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop<n id="2" /> him because he is not a disciple<n id="3" /> along with us.&#8221;

But Jesus<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8220;Let the dead bury their own dead,<n id="2" /> but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Yet<n id="1" /> another said, &#8220;I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to my family.&#8221;<n id="2" />

So he said to them, &#8220;When you pray,<n id="1" /> say:p> <p class="poetry">Father,<n id="2" /> may your name be honored;<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">may your kingdom come.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;Suppose one of you<n id="2" /> has a friend, and you go to him<n id="3" /> at midnight and say to him, &#8216;Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,<n id="4" />

But Jesus,<n id="1" /> realizing their thoughts, said to them,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed,<n id="3" /> and a divided household falls.<n id="4" />

For this reason also the wisdom<n id="1" /> of God said, &#8216;I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,&#8217;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> someone from the crowd said to him, &#8220;Teacher, tell<n id="2" /> my brother to divide the inheritance with me.&#8221;
