Jesus then went around the villages, teaching. He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out two by
two, giving them authority over evil spirits. And he ordered them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff:

When the day came for the purification according to the law of Moses, they brought the baby up to Jerusalem,
to present him to the Lord, as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to God.

Jesus then crossed to the other side of the lake; and while he was still on the shore, a large crowd gathered around him.
Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came up and, seeing Jesus, threw himself at his feet; and begged him earnestly, “My little
daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may get well and live.” Jesus went with him, and

They arrived at the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gerasenes. No sooner did Jesus leave the boat than
he was met by a man with evil spirits, who had come from the tombs. The man lived among the tombs, and no one

Then he said to them, “Today, these prophetic words come true, even as you listen.” All agreed with him, and were
lost in wonder, while he spoke of the grace of God. Nevertheless they asked, “Who is this but Joseph’s Son?”
So he said, “Doubtless you will quote me the saying: Doctor, heal yourself! Do here, in your town, what they say you did

On that same day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So they left the
crowd, and took him along in the boat he had been sitting in, and other boats set out with him. Then a storm gathered and it began

Jesus also said, “In the kingdom of God it is like this: a man scatters seed upon the soil. Whether he is asleep or awake, be it
day or night, the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. The soil produces of itself; first, the blade; then, the ear; then the full
