Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;Where is your faith?&#8221;<n id="2" /> But they were afraid and amazed,<n id="3" /> saying to one another, &#8220;Who then is this? He commands even the winds and the water,<n id="4" /> and they obey him!&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks<n id="2" /> and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Once<n id="1" /> when Jesus<n id="2" /> was praying<n id="3" /> by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Who do the crowds say that I am?&#8221;<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> was praying in a certain place. When<n id="3" /> he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, &#8220;Lord, teach us to pray, just as John<n id="4" /> taught<n id="5" /> his disciples.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> he said these things, a woman in the crowd spoke out<n id="2" /> to him, &#8220;Blessed is the womb<n id="3" /> that bore you and the breasts at which you nursed!&#8221;<n id="4" />

So then<n id="1" /> whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered<n id="2" /> in private rooms<n id="3" /> will be proclaimed from the housetops.<n id="4" />p>

Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;Watch out and guard yourself from<n id="2" /> all types of greed,<n id="3" /> because one&#8217;s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> said to his<n id="3" /> disciples, &#8220;Therefore I tell you, do not worry<n id="4" /> about your<n id="5" /> life, what you will eat, or about your<n id="6" /> body, what you will wear.

Or those eighteen who were killed<n id="1" /> when the tower in Siloam fell on them,<n id="2" /> do you think they were worse offenders than all the others who live in Jerusalem?<n id="3" />

<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.

Then the Lord answered him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from its stall,<n id="2" /> and lead it to water?<n id="3" />

Or what king, going out to confront another king in battle, will not sit down<n id="1" /> first and determine whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose<n id="2" /> the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

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>

but he answered<n id="1" /> his father, &#8216;Look! These many years I have worked like a slave<n id="2" /> for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yet<n id="3" /> you never gave me even a goat<n id="4" /> so that I could celebrate with my friends!

The tax collector, however, stood<n id="1" /> far off and would not even look up<n id="2" /> to heaven, but beat his breast and said, &#8216;God, be merciful<n id="3" /> to me, sinner that I am!&#8217;<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> took the twelve aside and said to them, &#8220;Look, we are going up to Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.<n id="4" />

And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up<n id="1" /> and said to him, &#8220;Zacchaeus, come down quickly,<n id="2" /> because I must<n id="3" /> stay at your house today.&#8221;<n id="4" />

When<n id="1" /> he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned<n id="2" /> these slaves to whom he had given the money. He wanted<n id="3" /> to know how much they had earned<n id="4" /> by trading.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now one<n id="1" /> day, as Jesus<n id="2" /> was teaching the people in the temple courts<n id="3" /> and proclaiming<n id="4" /> the gospel, the chief priests and the experts in the law<n id="5" /> with the elders came up<n id="6" />

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" />
