And he got up and went away to his house.

And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.

And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.

And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.

And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.

And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

A disciple is not greater than his master, or a servant than his lord.

It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

For I have come to put a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:

And a man will be hated by those of his house.

He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.
