tele ì au fost botezaî de Ioan n rulIordan. 6Ioan purta haine din pr de cmi-l, iar la mijloc avea o curea din piele. Elmnca lcuste ì miere slbatic. 7El lespunea oamenilor : Dup mine va ven ic ineva care este cu mult mai impor tantdect mine. Eu nu sunt vrednic nici mcars-I dezleg cureaua de la ncl^minte. 8Euv botez cu ap, dar El v va boteza cuDuhul Sfnt*.

Isus este botezat(Mt. 3.1317; Lc. 3.2122)

John Prepares the Way for Jesus(Mt. 3:112; Lk. 3:19, 1517; Jn. 1:1928)

1 1The Good News* about Jesus Christ, the Sonof God,1 begins 2with what the prophet* Isaiahsaid would happen. He wrote:

Listen! I will send my messenger ahead of you.

He will prepare the way for you. Malachi 3:1

3There is someone shouting in the desert:Prepare the way for the Lord.

Make his paths straight. Isaiah 40:3

4So John the Baptizer* came and was baptizing*people in the desert area. He told them to be bap-tized to show that they wanted to change theirlives, and then their sins would be forgiven. 5Allthe people from Judea, including everyone fromJerusalem, came out to John. They confessed thebad things they had done, and he baptized them in

the Jordan River.6John wore clothes made from camels hair anda leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts* andwild honey.

7This is what John told the people: There issomeone coming later who is able to do more thanI can. I am not good enough to be the slave whostoops down to untie his sandals. 8I baptize youwith water, but the one who is coming will bap-tize you with the Holy Spirit.*

Jesus Is Baptized by John(Mt. 3:1317; Lk. 3:2122)

9About that time Jesus came from the town of

Nazareth in Galilee to the place where John was.John baptized* Jesus in the Jordan River. 10AsJesus was coming up out of the water, he saw thesky torn open. The Spirit* came down to him likea dove. 11A voice came from heaven and said,You are my Son, and I love you. I am verypleased with you.

29Isus ì cei ce-L urmau au ieìt imediatdin sinagog* ì au mers mpreun cu Iacovì cu Ioan la casa lui Simon ì Andrei.30Soacra lui Simon avea febr i sttea npat. Oamenii de acolo I-au vorbit lui Isusdespre ea. 31Isus S-a dus la ea, a luat-o demn ì a ridicat-o. Febra a lsat-o, iar ea anceput s-I slujeasc.

32Seara, dup apusul soarelui, i-au adus laIsus pe toî bolnavii ì pe cei posedaî dedemoni*. 33Toat cetatea se adunase la uàacelei case. 34Isus a vindecat mulî oameni

43Isus i-a cerut s plece, dar nainte l-aavertizat, 44spunndu-i: S nu spui nimnuinimic despre ce î s-a ntmplat. Dar du-te ste ar i preotului ì s aduci jertfele rnduitede Moise pentru curîre1. S faci lucrulacesta pentru ca oamenii s `tie c te-ai

they obey him. 28So the news about Jesus spreadquickly everywhere in the area of Galilee.

Jesus Heals Many People(Mt. 8:1417; Lk. 4:3841)

29Jesus and the followers left the synagogue.*They all went with James and John to the home ofSimon and Andrew. 30Simons mother-in-law wasvery sick. She was in bed and had fever. Thepeople there told Jesus about her. 31So he went toher bed. Jesus held her hand and helped her standup. The fever left her, and she was healed. Thenshe began serving them.

32That night, after t he sun went down, thepeople brought to Jesus many who were sick. Theyalso brought those who had demons* inside them.33Everyone in the town gathered at the door of that

house. 34Jesus healed many of those who had dif-ferent kinds of sicknesses. He also forced manydemons out of people. But he would not allow thedemons to speak, because they knew who he was.1

Jesus Goes to Other Towns(Lk. 4:4244)

35The next morning Jesus woke up very early. Heleft the house while it was still dark and went to aplace where he could be alone and pray. 36Later,Simon and his friends went to look for Jesus. 37Theyfound him and said, Everyone is looking for you!

38Jesus answered, We should go to anotherplace. We can go to other towns around here, and

I can tell Gods message to those people too. Thatis why I came. 39So Jesus traveled everywhere inGalilee. He spoke in the synagogues,* and heforced demons* out of people.

Isus vindec un om paralizat(Mt. 9.18; Lc. 5.1726)

2 1Peste cteva zile, Isus S-a ntors nCapernaum. Vestea c era acas s-a rs-pndit. 2Oamenii s-au strns n numr attde mare nct nu mai era loc nici afar. Pecnd Isus i nvâ, 3c iva oameni au venitla El cu un om paralizat. Patru dintre ei ltransportau. 4Pentru c, din cauza mulîmii,nu puteau s ajung cu el la Isus, ei au fcuto gaur n acoperiùl casei ì de acolo l-au

cobort cu targ cu tot. 5Cnd a vzut Isuscredinâ lor, i-a spus celui paralizat: Fiule,pcatele î sunt iertate!

6Cîva dintre nv^torii Legii erauacolo. Ei au vzut ce fcuse Isus ì ì-auspus: 7De ce spune omul acesta aà ceva?El spune lucruri care sunt o insult la adresalui Dumnezeu. Cine poate ierta pcatele, nafar de Dumnezeu?

8Isus a `tiut imediat, n duhul Su, cegndesc ei ì le-a spus: De ce gndi i ast-

fel?9

Ce este mai uòr: s zic acestui omparalizat: Pcatele î sunt iertate! saus - i s pu n: Ri di c -t e! I a- î t ar ga ` imergi!? 10Dar Eu v voi dovedi c Fiulomului* are putere pe pmnt s ierte pca-tele.

places where people did not live. But people camefrom all the towns to the places where he was.

Jesus Heals a Crippled Man(Mt. 9:18; Lk. 5:1726)

2 1A few days later, Jesus came back to Caper-naum.* The news spread that he was backhome. 2A large crowd gathered to hear him speak.The house was so full that there was no place tostand, not even outside the door. While Jesus wasteaching, 3some people brought a paralyzed manto see him. He was being carried by four of them.4But they could not get the man inside to Jesusbecause the house was so full of people. So they

went to the roof above Jesus and made a hole in it.Then they lowered the mat with the paralyzedman on it. 5When Jesus saw how much faith theyhad, he said to the paralyzed man, Young man,your sins are forgiven.

6Some of the teachers of the law were sittingthere. They saw what Jesus did, and they said tothemselves, 7Why does this man say things likethat? What an insult to God! No one but God canforgive sins.

8Jesus knew immediately what these teachersof the law were thinking. So he said to them,

Why do you have these questions in your minds?910The Son of Man* has power on earth to for-give sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybeyou are thinking it was easy for me to say to thecrippled man, Your sins are forgiven. Theres noproof it really happened. But what if I say to theman, Stand up. Take your mat and walk? Thenyou will be able to see if I really have this poweror not. So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, 11Itell you, stand up. Take your mat and go home.

12Immediately the paralyzed man stood up. Hepicked up his mat and walked out of the room.Everyone could see him. They were amazed andpraised God. They said, This is the most amazingthing we have ever seen!

mpreun cu ei, mai erau vameì* ì pc-toì . Mulî dintre ei l urmaser pe Isus.16Cnd nv^torii Legii care erau farisei* auvzut c Isus mnca mpreun cu pctoìi ìcu vameìi, i-au ntrebat pe ucenicii Si: Dece mnnc Isus cu vameìi ì cu pctoìi?

17Isus a auzit ì le-a spus: Cei bolnaviau nevoie de doctor, nu cei sntoì! Eu nuam venit s-i chem pe cei drepî, ci pe ceipctoì.

Isus nu este la fel ca al i conductori religioì(Mt. 9.1417; Lc. 5.3339)

18Ucenicii lui Ioan Boteztorul ì fariseii*

posteau. Ni`te oameni au venit la Isus ìL-au ntrebat: De ce ucenicii lui Ioan* ì aifariseilor postesc*, iar ai Ti nu?

19Isus le-a rspuns: Pot oare nunta ii sposteasc atunci cnd mirele este cu ei? Cttimp mirele este cu ei, nu pot posti. 20Darvor veni zilele n care mirele va fi luat de laei. Atunci vor posti.

21Nimeni nu coase la o hain veche unpetic din material nou. Dac ar face cinevaaà, atunci peticul ar destrma haina veche,iar ruptura ar fi mai mare. 22i nimeni nupune vin nou n burdufuri vechi. Pentru c

vinul ar sparge burdufurile ì atunci ì vinul,ì burdufurile s-ar strica. Vinul nou se punen burdufuri noi.

Fariseii l critic pe Isus(Mt. 12.18; Lc. 6.15)

23ntr-o zi de sabat*, Isus trecea prin lanu-rile de gru. Pe cnd mergeau prin lan, uce-n ic ii Lui au nc epu t s smu lg spi ce.24Fariseii* au vzut lucrul acesta ì L-auntrebat pe Isus: De ce fac ucenicii Ti cevace nu este permis de Lege n ziua de sabat?

15Later that day, Jesus and his followers ate atLev i s house . The re were a l so many tax

collectors* and others with bad reputations eatingwith them. (There were many of these people whofollowed Jesus.) 16When some teachers of the lawwho were Pharisees* saw Jesus eating with suchbad people, they asked his followers, Why doeshe eat with tax collectors and sinners?

17When Jesus heard this, he said to them, It isthe sick people who need a doctor, not those whoare healthy. I did not come to invite good people.I came to invite sinners.

Jesus Is Not Like Other Religious Leaders(Mt. 9:1417; Lk. 5:3339)

18The followers of John* and the Pharisees* were

fasting.* Some people came to Jesus and said,Johns followers fast, and the followers of thePharisees fast. But your followers dont fast. Why?

19Jesus answered, At a wedding the friends ofthe bridegroom* are not sad while he is with them.They cannot fast while the bridegroom is still there.20But the time will come when the bridegroom willbe taken from them. Then they will fast.

21When someone sews a patch over a hole inan old coat, they never use a piece of cloth that isnot yet shrunk. If they do, the patch will shrink andpull away from the coat. Then the hole will beworse. 22Also, no one ever pours new wine into old

wineskins.*

The wine would break them, and thewine would be ruined along with the wineskins.You always put new wine into new wineskins.

Jesus Is Lord Over the Sabbath Day(Mt. 12:18; Lk. 6:15)

23On the Sabbath* day, Jesus and his followerswere walking through some grain fields. The fol-lowers picked some grain to eat. 24Some Phari-sees* said to Jesus, Why are your followersdoing this? It is against the law to pick grain onthe Sabbath.

25Jesus answered, You have read what David*did when he and the people with him were hungry

and needed food. 26It was during the time of Abi-athar the high priest.* David went into Godshouse and ate the bread that was offered to God.And the law of Moses* says that only priests caneat that bread. David also gave some of the breadto the people with him.

31Isus a intrat din nou n sinagog*.Acolo era un om cu o mn paralizat.

2Cîva oameni se uitau la Isus s vad dacnu cumva l va vindeca n ziua sabatului*,pentru a-L putea acuza. 3Isus i-a spus omu-lui cu mna paralizat: Ridic-te!

4Isus le-a spus celor din sinagog: Estepermis s faci bine sau ru ntr-o zi desabat? Este bine s salvezi o via^ sau somori? Dar ei tceau.

5Isus i-a rotit privirea peste ei mnios,ntristat de mpietrirea inimii lor. Isus i-a spusacelui om: ntinde-î mna! Omul ì-a ntinsmna, care i s-a vindecat. 6Imediat, fariseii*au plecat ì, mpreun cu irodienii*, au nce-put s se gndeasc cum s-L omoare pe Isus.

Mulî l urmeaz pe Isus7Isus a plecat mpreun cu ucenicii Si

la Marea Galileii. I-a urmat o mare mulî-me ce s-a strns din Galileea, din Iudeea,8din Ierusalim, din Idumeea, de dincolo derul Iordan, din Tir ì din Sidon. Ei auveni t l a I sus pent ru c auziser vorbin-

Isus i alege pe cei doisprezece apostoli(Mt. 10.14; Lc. 6.1216)

13Apoi, El S-a urcat pe un deal ì a che-mat cîva oameni, pe aceia pe care i-a vrutEl. Ei au venit la El ì El a ales doisprezecedintre ei, 14pe care i-a numit apostoli*. Isusi-a ales pentru a fi cu El ì pentru a-i trimites predice n alte prî. 15El le-a dat puterea

not made to be ruled by the Sabbath. 28So the Sonof Man* is Lord of every day, even the Sabbath.

Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath Day(Mt. 12:914; Lk. 6:611)

31Another time Jesus went into the synagogue.*In the synagogue there was a man with a crip-

pled hand. 2Some Jews there were watching Jesusclosely. They were waiting to see if he would healthe man on a Sabbath* day. They wanted to seeJesus do something wrong so that they couldaccuse him. 3Jesus said to the man with the crip-pled hand, Stand up here so that everyone cansee you.

4Then Jesus asked the people, Which is theright thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good,or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroyone? The people said nothing to answer him.

5Jesus looked at the people. He was angry, buthe felt very sad because they were so stubborn.He said to the man, Hold out your hand. Theman held out his hand, and it was healed. 6Thenthe Pharisees* left and made plans with the Hero-dians* about a way to kill Jesus.

Many Follow Jesus7Jesus went away with his followers to the lake.

A large crowd of people from Galilee followedthem. 8Many also came from Judea , f romJerusalem, from Idumea, from the area across theJordan River, and from the area around Tyre andSidon. These people came because they heard

about all that Jesus was doing.9Jesus saw how many people there were, so he

told his followers to get a small boat and make itready for him. He wanted the boat so that thecrowds of people could not push against him.10He had healed many of them, so all the sickpeople were pushing toward him to touch him.11Some people had evil spirits inside them. Whenthe evil spirits saw Jesus, they bowed before himand shouted, You are the Son of God! 12ButJesus gave the spirits a strong warning not to tellanyone who he was.

Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles(Mt. 10:14; Lk. 6:1216)

13Then Jesus went up on a hill and invited thosehe wanted to go with him. So they joined himthere. 14And he chose twelve men and called themapostles.* He wanted these twelve men to be withhim, and he wanted to send them to other placesto tell people Gods message. 15He also wantedthem to have the power to force demons* out of

22And the teachers of the law from Jerusalem

said, Satan2 is living inside him! He uses powerfrom the ruler of demons* to force demons out ofpeople.

23So Jesus called them together and talked tothem using some stories. He said, Satan* will notforce his own demons out of people. 24A kingdomthat fights against itself will not survive. 25And afamily that is divided will not survive. 26If Satanis against himself and is fighting against his ownpeople, he will not survive. That would be the endof Satan.

27Whoever wants to enter a strong manshouse and steal his things must first tie him up.

Then they can steal the things from his house.28I want you to know that people can be for-given for all the sinful things they do. They caneven be forgiven for the bad things they sayagainst God. 29But anyone who speaks against theHoly Spirit* will never be forgiven. They willalways be guilty of that sin.

30Jesus said this because the teachers of the lawhad accused him of having an evil spirit inside him.

A Story About a Farmer Sowing Seed(Mt. 13:19; Lk. 8:48)

4 1Another time Jesus began teaching by thelake, and a large crowd gathered around him.He got into a boat so that he could sit and teachfrom the lake. All the people stayed on the shorenear the water. 2Jesus used stories to teach themmany things. One of his lessons included thisstory:

3Listen! A farmer went out to sow seed.4While he was scattering the seed, some of it fellby the road. The birds came and ate all that seed.5Other seed fell on rocky ground, where there wasnot enough dirt. It grew quickly there because the

soil was not deep. 6But then the sun rose and theplants were burned. They died because they didnot have deep roots. 7Some other seed fell amongthorny weeds. The weeds grew and stopped thegood plants from growing. So they did not makegrain. 8But some of the seed fell on good ground.There it began to grow, and it made grain. Someplants made 30 times more grain, some 60 timesmore, and some 100 times more.

9Then Jesus said, You people who hear me,listen!

Why Jesus Used Stories to Teach(Mt. 13:1017; Lk. 8:910)

10Later, Jesus was away from the people. Thetwelve apostles* and his other followers askedhim about the stories.

11Jesus said, Only you can know the secrettruth about Gods kingdom.* But to those otherpeople I tell everything by using stories. 12I dothis so that:

They will look and look but never really see;they will listen and listen

but never understand.If they saw and understood,

they might change and be forgiven.Isaiah 6:910

Jesus Explains the Story About Seed(Mt. 13:1823; Lk. 8:1115)

13Then Jesus said to the followers, Do youunderstand this story? If you dont, how will youunderstand any story? 14The farmer is l ikesomeone who plants Gods teaching in people.15Sometimes the teaching falls on the path. That is

like some people who hear the teaching of God.As soon as they hear it Satan* comes and takesaway the teaching that was planted in them.

16Other people are like the seed planted on

rocky ground. They hear the teaching, and theyquickly and gladly accept it. 17But they dont allowit to go deep into their lives. They keep it only ashort time. As soon as trouble or persecution* comesbecause of the teaching they accepted, they give up.

18Others are like the seed planted among thethorny weeds. They hear the teaching, 19but theirlives become full of other things: the worries ofthis life, the love of money, and everything elsethey want. This keeps the teaching from growing,and it does not produce a crop1 in their lives.

20And others are like the seed planted on thegood ground. They hear the teaching and acceptit. Then they grow and produce a good cropsometimes 30 times more, sometimes 60 timesmore, and sometimes 100 times more.

Use the Understanding You Have(Lk. 8:1618)

21Then Jesus said to them, You dont take alamp and hide it under a bowl or a bed, do you?Of course not. You put it on a lampstand.22Everything that is hidden will be made clear.Every secret thing will be made known. 23Youpeople who hear me, listen! 24Think carefullyabout what you are hearing. God will know howmuch to give you by how much you understand

now. But he will give you more than youdeserve. 25The people who have some under-standing will receive more. But those who do nothave much will lose even the small amount theyhave.

Jesus Uses a Story About Seed26Then Jesus said, Gods kingdom* is like a

man who plants seed in the ground. 27The seedbegins to grow. It grows night and day. Itdoesnt matter whether the man is sleeping or awake, the seed st il l grows. He doesnt knowhow it happens. 28Without any help the groundproduces grain. First the plant grows, then the

head, and then all the grain in the head. 29Whenthe grain is ready, the man cuts it. This is theharvest time.

What Is Gods Kingdom Like?(Mt. 13:3132, 3435; Lk. 13:1819)

30Then Jesus said, What can I use to show youwhat Gods kingdom* is like? What story can I

use to explain it?31

Gods kingdom is like a mus-tard seed, which is smaller than any other seed onearth that you can plant. 32But when you plant it,it grows and becomes the largest of all the plantsin your garden. It has branches that are very big.The wild birds can come and make nests there andbe protected from the sun.

33Jesus used many stories like these to teach thepeople. He taught them all they could understand.34He always used stories to teach them. But whenhe was alone with his followers, Jesus explainedeverything to them.

Jesus Followers See His Power

(Mt. 8:2327; Lk. 8:2225)35That day, at evening, Jesus said to his fol-

lowers, Come with me across the lake. 36Sothey left the crowd behind and went with Jesusin the boat he was already in. There were alsoother boats that went with them. 37A very badwind came up on the lake. The waves werecoming over the sides and into the boat, and itwas almost full of water. 38Jesus was inside theboat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The fol-lowers went and woke him. They said, Teacher,dont you care about us? We are going todrown!

39

Jesus stood up and commanded the wind andthe waves to stop. He said, Quiet! Be still! Thenthe wind stopped, and the lake became calm.

40He said to his followers, Why are youafraid? Do you still have no faith?

41They were very afraid and asked each other,What kind of man is this? Even the wind and thewaves obey him!

him from the caves where the dead are buried.This man had an evil spirit living inside him. 3Helived in the burial caves. No one could keep himtied up, even with chains. 4Many times people hadput chains on his hands and feet, but he broke thechains. No one was strong enough to control him.

5Day and night he stayed around the burial cavesand on the hills. He would scream and cut himselfwith rocks.

6While Jesus was still far away, the man saw

him. He ran to Jesus and bowed down beforehim. 78As Jesus was saying, You evil spirit,come out of this man, the man shouted loudly,What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of theMost High God? I beg you in Gods name not topunish me!

9Then Jesus asked the man, What is yourname?

The man answered, My name is Legion,1because there are many spirits inside me. 10Thespirits inside the man begged Jesus again andagain not to send them out of that area.

11A large herd of pigs was eating on a hill nearthere. 12The evil spirits begged Jesus, Send us tothe pigs. Let us go into them. 13So Jesus allowedthem to do this. The evil spirits left the man andwent into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs ran downthe hill and into the lake. They were all drowned.There were about 2000 pigs in that herd.

14The men who had the work of caring for thepigs ran away. They ran to the town and to thefarms and told everyone what happened. Thepeople went out to see. 15They came to Jesus, andthey saw the man who had the many evil spirits.He was sitting down and was wearing clothes. Hewas in his right mind again. When they saw this,

they were afraid. 16Those who had seen whatJesus did told the others what happened to theman who had the demons* living in him. And theyalso told about the pigs. 17Then the people beganto beg Jesus to leave their area.

18Jesus was preparing to leave in the boat. Theman who was freed from the demons begged togo with him. 19But Jesus did not allow the man togo. He said, Go home to your family and friends.Tell them about all that the Lord did for you. Tellthem how the Lord was good to you.

He sawJesus and bowed down before him. 23He beggedJesus agai n and a gain , sayi ng, My l it tl edaughte r i s dy ing . Please come and lay your hands on her. Then she will be healed and willlive.

24So Jesus went with Jairus. Many people fol-lowed Jesus. They were pushing very closearound him.

25There among the people was a woman whohad been bleeding for the past twelve years. 26Shehad suffered very much. Many doctors had triedto help her, and all the money she had was spent,but she was not improving. In fact, her sicknesswas getting worse.

27The woman heard about Jesus, so she fol-lowed him with the other people and touched hiscoat. 28She thought, If I can just touch hisclothes, that will be enough to heal me. 29Assoon as she touched his coat, her bleedingstopped. She felt that her body was healed fromall the suffering. 30Jesus immediately felt powergo out from him, so he stopped and turnedaround. Who touched my clothes? he asked.

31The followers said to Jesus, There are so

many people pushing against you. But you ask,Who touched me?

32But Jesus continued looking for the one whotouched him. 33The woman knew that she washealed, so she came and bowed at Jesus feet. Shewas shaking with fear. She told Jesus the wholestory. 34He said to her, Dear woman, you aremade well because you believed. Go in peace.You will not suffer any more.

35While Jesus was still there speaking, somemen came from the house of Jairus, the syna-gogue leader. They said, Your daughter is dead.There is no need to bother the teacher.

36But Jesus did not care what the men said. Hesaid to the synagogue leader, Dont be afraid;only believe.

Isus Se ntoarce n cetatea Sa natal(Mt. 13.5358; Lc. 4.1630)

61Isus a plecat de acolo ì S-a ntors n

cetatea Sa natal. Ucenicii Si au merscu El. 2n ziua de sabat*, Isus a nceput s-inveê pe oameni n sinagog*, iar ace tia aurmas uimi i de ceea ce auzeau. Ei se ntre-bau: De unde a nvât omul acesta tot ceeace `tie? De unde a primit aceast nêlepciu-ne? Cine I-a dat-o? i de unde are putereade a face astfel de minuni*? 3Oare nu este Eldoar tmplarul, fiul Mariei? i nu este Elfratele lui Iacov, al lui Iose, al lui Iuda ì allui Simon? i nu sunt surorile Lui aici cunoi? Din acest motiv le era greu s creadn El.

Iar Isus le-a spus: Doar n âra lui esteprimit fr cinste un profet*, acolo unde seafl rudele ì familia lui. 5n afar de faptulc i-a pus minile peste cîva oameni bol-navi ì i-a vindecat, Isus nu a mai putut facenici o alt minune n cetatea aceea. 6i El afost uimit de necredinâ lor.

Apoi Isus S-a dus prin satele apropiates-i nveê pe oameni.

Trimiterea celor doisprezece(Mt. 10.1, 515; Lc. 9.16)

7Isus i-a chemat cei doisprezece uceniciì i-a trimis doi cte doi. El le-a dat putere

asupra duhurilor rele. 8Isus le-a spus s nuia nimic pentru drum, n afar de un toiag;s nu ia pine, s nu ia traiste ì nici bani.9S poarte sandale ì s nu aib la ei hainede schimb. 10i Isus le-a spus: Dac, atuncicnd intraî ntr-o cetate, v opriî s staîntr-o cas, s rmneî acolo pn cnd veîpleca din acea cetate. 11Dac se ntmpl snu fiî primiî ntr-o cetate sau dac oamenii

This child is not dead. She is only sleeping.40But everyone laughed at him.

Jesus told the people to leave the house. Thenhe went into the room where the child was. He

brought the childs father and mother and his threefollowers into the room with him. 41Then Jesusheld the girls hand and said to her, Talitha,koum! (This means Little girl, I tell you to standup!) 42The girl immediately stood up and beganwalking. (She was twelve years old.) The fatherand mother and the followers were amazed.43Jesus gave the father and mother very strictorders not to tell people about this. Then he toldthem to give the girl some food to eat.

Jesus Goes to His Hometown(Mt. 13:5358; Lk. 4:1630)

61Jesus left and went back to his hometown.

His followers went with him. 2On theSabbath* day Jesus taught in the synagogue,* andmany people heard him. They were amazed andsaid, Where did this man get this teaching? Howdid he get such wisdom? Who gave it to him?And where did he get the power to do miracles*?3Isnt he just the carpenter we knowMarys son,the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon?And dont his sisters still live here in town? Sothey had a problem accepting him.

4

Then Jesus said to them, People everywheregive honor to a prophet,* except in his own town,with his own people, or in his home. 5Jesus wasnot able to do any miracles there except thehealing of some sick people by laying his handson them. 6He was surprised that the people therehad no faith. Then he went to other villages in thatarea and taught.

Jesus Sends His Apostles on a Mission(Mt. 10:1, 515; Lk. 9:16)

7Jesus called his twelve apostles* together. Hesent them out in groups of two and gave them

power over evil spirits. 8This is what he toldthem: Take nothing for your trip except a stickfor walking. Take no bread, no bag, and nomoney. 9You can wear sandals, but dont takeextra clothes. 10When you enter a house, staythere until you leave that town. 11If any townrefuses to accept you or refuses to listen to you,

Irod crede c Isus este Ioan Boteztorul(Mt. 14.112; Lc. 9.79)

14Regele Irod* a auzit ce se ntmpla,pentru c Isus ajunsese acum foarte cunos-cut. Unii oameni ziceau: Isus este IoanBoteztorul nviat din morî ì de aceeapoate face aceste minuni.

15Alîi ziceau: Isus e Ilie*.Iar alîi ziceau: Isus este un profet* ase-

menea celor din trecut.16Dar cnd a auzit Irod toate acestea, aspus: Ioan, cel cruia i-am tiat capul, anviat.

Cum a fost omort Ioan Boteztorul17Irod nsuì poruncise arestarea ì nchi-

derea lui Ioan* pentru a-i face pe plac soîeisale, Irodiada. Irodiada fusese soîa luiFilip, fratele lui Irod. 18Pentru c Ioan i totspunea lui Irod: Legea nu-î d voie s-o aipe soîa fratelui tu!, 19Irodiada l ura peIoan ì dorea s-l omoare. Dar ea nu-l puteaomor, 20deoarece Irod se temea de Ioan.

Irod l ocrotea pe Ioan, pentru c `tia cacesta este un om bun ì sfnt. Cnd lauzea pe Ioan vorbind, rmnea uimit; ì ifcea plcere s-l asculte.

21Dar a sosit ì ziua potrivit pentru caIrodiada s obîn moartea lui Ioan.

12The apostles left and went to other places.

They talked to the people and told them to changetheir hearts and lives. 13They forced manydemons* out of people and put olive oil on2 manywho were sick and healed them.

Herod Thinks Jesus Is John the Baptizer(Mt. 14:112; Lk. 9:79)

14King Herod* heard about Jesus , becauseJesus was now famous. Some people said, He isJohn the Baptizer.* He must have risen fromd e a t h , a n d t h a t i s w h y h e c a n d o t h e s emiracles.*

15Other people said, He is Elijah.*And others said, He is a prophet.* He is like

the prophets who lived long ago.16Herod heard these things about Jesus. Hesaid, I killed John by cutting off his head. Nowhe has been raised from death!

How John the Baptizer Was Killed17Herod* himself had ordered his soldiers to

arrest John and put him in prison. Herod did thisto please his wife Herodias. She had been marriedto Herods brother Philip, but then Herod marriedher. 18John told Herod that it was not right for himto be married to his brothers wife. 19So Herodiashated John. She wanted him dead, but she was notable to persuade Herod to kill him. 20Herod was

afraid to kill John, because he knew that he was agood and holy* man. So he protected him. Heliked listening to John, although what John saidleft him with so many questions.

21Then the right time came for Herodias tocause Johns death. It happened on Herodsbirthday. Herod gave a dinner party for the mostimportant government leaders, the commanders ofhis army, and the most important people inGalilee. 22The daughter of Herodias came to theparty and danced. When she danced, Herod andthe people eating with him were very pleased.

So King Herod said to the girl, I will give you

anything you want. 23He promised her, Any-thing you ask for I will give to youeven half ofmy kingdom.

Fata s-a ntors repede la rege ì i-aspus: Vreau s-mi dai, chiar acum, pe ofarfurie, capul lui Ioan Boteztorul.

26Lui Irod i-a prut ru, dar din cauza jur-mntului su ì din cauza celor ce stteau lamas cu el, nu a vrut s-o refuze. 27Irod a tri-mis pe unul din soldaîi lui s-i taie capul luiIoan ì s i-l aduc. Acesta s-a dus n nchi-soare ì i-a tiat capul lui Ioan, 28dup care l-aadus pe o farfurie. Soldatul i-a dat capul fetei,care i l-a dat mamei sale. 29Cnd au auzitucenicii lui Ioan ce se ntmplase, s-au dus,i-au luat trupul ì l-au pus ntr-un mormnt.

Isus hrne`te peste cinci mii de oameni(Mt. 14.1321; Lc. 9.1017; Ioan 6.114)

30Ucenicii trimiì de Isus s-au ntors la Elì I-au povestit tot ce fcuser. 31Apoi Isusle-a spus: Veniî cu Mine ntr-un loc lini`-tit, unde s fim singuri ì s v odihniîpuîn. n jurul lor erau mulî oameni ì einici nu apucaser s mnnce.

24The girl went to her mother and asked, Whatshould I ask King Herod to give me?

Her mother answered, Ask for the head ofJohn the Baptizer.*

So right then the girl went back in to the king.She said to him, Please give me the head of Johnthe Baptizer. Bring it to me now on a plate.

26King Herod was very sad, but he didnt wantto break the promise he had made to her in frontof his guests. 27So he sent a soldier to cut off Johns head and bring it to him. The soldier wentand cut off Johns head in the prison. 28Hebrought the head back on a plate and gave it tothe girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.29Johns followers heard about what happened, sothey came and got Johns body and put it in atomb.*

Jesus Feeds More Than 5000(Mt. 14:1321; Lk. 9:1017; Jn. 6:114)

30The apostles* Jesus sent out came back tohim. They gathered around him and told himabout all they had done and taught. 31Jesus andhis followers were in a very busy place. Therewere so many people that he and his followers didnot even have time to eat. He said to them, Comewith me. We will go to a quiet place to be alone.There we will get some rest.

32So Jesus and his followers went away alone.They went in a boat to a place where no one lived.33But many people saw them leave and knew who

they were. So people from every town ran to theplace where they were going and got there beforeJesus. 34As Jesus stepped out of the boat, he saw alar ge cr owd wai tin g. He fel t sor ry f or t hem,because they were like sheep without a shepherd tocare for them. So he taught the people many things.

35It was now very late in the day. Jesus fol-lowers came to him and said, No one livesaround here, and it is already very late. 36Sosend the people away. They need to go to thefarms and towns around here to buy some foodto eat.

37But Jesus answered, You give them somefood to eat.

They said to Jesus, We cant buy enough breadto feed all these people. We would all have towork a month to earn enough to buy that muchbread!

42They all ate until they were full. 43After theyfinished eating, the followers filled twelve basketswith the pieces of bread and fish that were left.44There were about 5000 men there who ate.

Jesus Walks on Water

(Mt. 14:2233; Jn. 6:1621)45Then Jesus told the followers to get into the

boat. He told them to go to the other side of thelake to Bethsaida. He said he would come later.He stayed there to tell the people they could gohome. 46After he said goodbye to the people, hewent into the hills to pray.

47That night, the boat was still in the middle ofthe lake. Jesus was alone on the land. 48He saw theboat far away on the lake. And he saw the fol-lowers working hard to row the boat. The wind wasblowing against them. Sometime between threeand six oclock in the morning, Jesus went out to

the boat, walk ing on the water. He continuedwalking until he was almost past the boat. 49But thefollowers saw Jesus walking on the water. Theythought he was a ghost, and they started screaming.50It scared them all to see him. But he spoke tothem and said, Dont worry! Its me! Dont beafraid. 51When he got into the boat with the fol-lowers, the wind stopped. The followers were com-pletely amazed. 52They could not believe what hap-pened. It was like the miracle he did with the bread.They still didnt understand what that meant.

Gods Law and Human Traditions(Mt. 15:120)

7 1Some Pharisees* and some teachers of thelaw came from Jerusalem and gatheredaround Jesus. 2They saw that some of his fol-lowers ate food with hands that were not clean,meaning that they did not wash their hands in aspecial way. 3The Pharisees and all the other Jewsnever eat before washing their hands in this spe-cial way. They do this to follow the traditions theyhave from their great leaders who lived long ago.4And when these Jews buy something in themarket, they never eat it until they wash it in aspecial way. They also follow other rules from

their people who lived before them. They followrules like the washing of cups, pitchers, and pots.15The Pharisees and teachers of the law said to

Jesus, Your followers dont follow the traditionswe have from our great leaders who lived longago. They eat their food with hands that are notclean. Why do they do this?

6Jesus answered, You are all hypocrites.*Isaiah was right when he wrote these words fromGod about you:

These people say they honor me,but they dont really make me

an important part of their lives.7 Their worship of me is for nothing.

The things they teach are only rulesthat people have made. Isaiah 29:13

8You have stopped following Gods commands,preferring instead the man-made rules you gotfrom others.

9Then he said, You show great skill inavoiding the commands of God so that you canfollow your own teachings! 10Moses* said, Youmust respect your father and mother.2 He alsosaid, Whoever says anything bad to their fatheror mother must be killed.3 11But you teach thatpeople can say to their father or mother, I havesomething I could use to help you, but I will notuse it for you.

think it is more important to follow those tradi-tions you have, which you pass on to others. Andyou do many things like that.

14Jesus called the people to him again. He said,

Everyone should listen to me and understand whatI am saying. 15There is nothing people can put intheir mouth that will make them wrong.1 People aremade wrong by what comes from inside them. [16}2

17Then Jesus left the people and went into thehouse. The followers asked Jesus about what hehad told the people. 18He said, You still havetrouble understanding? Surely you know thatnothing that enters the mouth from the outside canmake people unacceptable to God. 19Food doesnot go into a persons mind. It goes into thestomach. Then it goes out of the body. (WhenJesus said this, he meant that there is no food thatis wrong for people to eat.)

20And Jesus said, The things that make peoplewrong are the things that come from the inside.21All these bad things begin inside a person, in themind: bad thoughts, sexual sins, stealing, murder,22adultery,* greed, doing bad things to people,lying, doing things that are morally wrong, jeal-ousy, insulting people, proud talking, and foolishliving. 23These evil things come from inside aperson. And these are the things that make peopleunacceptable to God.

Her little daughter had an evil spiritinside her. So the woman came to Jesus andbowed down near his feet. 26She was not a Jew.She was born in Phoenicia, an area in Syria. Shebegged Jesus to force the demon* out of herdaughter.

28She answered, That is true, Lord. But thedogs under the table can eat the pieces of foodthat the children dont eat.

36Isus le-a poruncit s nu spun nimnui

cele n tmplate. Dar cu ct le porunceamai mult, cu att mai mult vorbeau eidespre El. 37Oamenii erau foarte uimi i ìziceau: Tot ce a fcut El, a fcut bine.Chiar ì pe surzi i face s aud, ì pe muîs vorbeasc.

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man31Then Jesus left the area around Tyre and went

through Sidon. On his way to Lake Galilee he wentthrough the area of the Ten Towns.* 32While he wasthere, some people brought a man to him who wasdeaf and could not talk clearly. The people beggedJesus to put his hand on the man to heal him.

33Jesus led the man away from the people to bealone with him. He put his fingers in the mans ears.Then he spit and touched the mans tongue with it.34Jesus looked up to the sky and with a loud sigh hesaid, Ephphatha! (This means Open!) 35Assoon as Jesus did this, the man was able to hear. Hewas able to use his tongue and spoke clearly.

36Jesus told the people not to tell anyone about

what happened. He always told people not to tellothers about him. But this only caused them to tellabout him more and more. 37The people werecompletely amazed. They said, Look at what hehas done. Its all good. He makes deaf people ableto hear and gives a new voice to people who couldnot talk.

Jesus Feeds More Than 4000(Mt. 15:3239)

8 1Another time there were many people withJesus. The people had nothing to eat. So hecalled his followers to him and said, 2I feel sorryfor these people. They have been with me for

three days, and now they have nothing to eat. 3Ishould not send them home hungry. If they leavewithout eating, they will faint on the way home.Some of them live a long way from here.

4Jesus followers answered, But we are faraway from any towns. Where can we get enoughbread to feed all these people?

5Then Jesus asked them, How many loaves ofbread do you have?

They answered , We have seven loaves of bread.

6Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Thenhe took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God.

He broke the bread into pieces and gave them tohis followers. He told them to give the bread to thepeople, and they did as he said. 7The followersalso had a few small fish. Jesus gave thanks for thefish and told them to give the fish to the people.

8They all ate until they were full. Then the fol-lowers filled seven baskets with the pieces of foodthat were left. 9There were about 4000 men whoate. After they ate, Jesus told them to go home.

16The followers discussed the meaning of this.They said, He said this because we have nobread.

17Jesus knew that the followers were talkingabout this. So he asked them, Why are youtalking about having no bread? You still dont seeor understand? Are you not able to understand?18Do you have eyes that cant see? Do you haveears that cant hear? Remember what I did before,

when we did not have enough bread? 19I dividedfive loaves of bread for 5000 people. Rememberhow many baskets you filled with pieces of foodthat were not eaten?

The followers answered, We filled twelvebaskets.

20And remember that I divided seven loavesof bread for 4000 people. Remember how manybaskets you filled with pieces of food that werenot eaten?

and the teachers of the law. He said that the Sonof Man must be killed and then rise from deathafter three days. 32Jesus told them everything thatwould happen. He did not keep anything secret.

Peter took Jesus away from the other followersto talk to him alone. Peter criticized him forsaying these things. 33But Jesus turned and lookedat his followers. Then he criticized Peter. He saidto Peter, Get away from me, Satan1! You dontcare about the same things God does. You careonly about things that people think are important.

to be my follower must say no to themselves andwhat they want to do. They must accept the cross*that is given to them and follow me. 35Those whotry to save their life will lose it.
