And a man with leprosy came to Jesus, imploring Him and kneeling down, and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

and He said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

When Jesus came back to Capernaum a few days later, it was heard that He was at home.

And some people came, bringing to Him a man who was paralyzed, carried by four men.

And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

He entered a synagogue again; and a man was there whose hand was withered.

And He said to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do harm, to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent.

And He told His disciples to see that a boat would be ready for Him because of the masses, so that they would not crowd Him;

And He came home, and the crowd gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal.

"And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

"If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

And a crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You."

Again He began to teach by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat on the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land.

"Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much."

"And in a similar way these are the ones sown with seed on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

"And those are the ones sown with seed on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much."
