But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;

And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?

But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.
