As mulheres que serviam a Jesus com os seus bens

E aconteceu, depois disso, que andava de cidade em cidade e de aldeia em aldeia, pregando e anunciando o evangelho do Reino de Deus; e os doze iam com ele, e também algumas mulheres que haviam sido curadas de espíritos malignos e de enfermidades: Maria, chamada Madalena, da qual saíram sete demônios; e Joana, mulher de Cuza, procurador de Herodes, e Suzana, e muitas outras que o serviam com suas fazendas.

A parábola do semeador(A)

E, ajuntando-se uma grande multidão, e vindo ter com ele gente de todas as cidades, disse por parábolas: Um semeador saiu a semear a sua semente, e, quando semeava, caiu alguma junto do caminho e foi pisada, e as aves do céu a comeram. E outra caiu sobre pedra e, nascida, secou-se, pois que não tinha umidade. E outra caiu entre espinhos, e, crescendo com ela os espinhos, a sufocaram; E outra caiu em boa terra e, nascida, produziu fruto, cento por um. Dizendo ele estas coisas, clamava: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, que ouça.

E os seus discípulos o interrogaram, dizendo: Que parábola é esta? 10 E ele disse: A vós vos é dado conhecer os mistérios do Reino de Deus, mas aos outros, por parábolas, para que, vendo, não vejam e, ouvindo, não entendam. 11 Esta é, pois, a parábola: a semente é a palavra de Deus; 12 e os que estão junto do caminho, estes são os que ouvem; depois, vem o diabo e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que se não salvem, crendo; 13 e os que estão sobre pedra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a recebem com alegria, mas, como não têm raiz, apenas creem por algum tempo e, no tempo da tentação, se desviam; 14 e a que caiu entre espinhos, esses são os que ouviram, e, indo por diante, são sufocados com os cuidados, e riquezas, e deleites da vida, e não dão fruto com perfeição; 15 e a que caiu em boa terra, esses são os que, ouvindo a palavra, a conservam num coração honesto e bom e dão fruto com perseverança.

A parábola da candeia(B)

16 E ninguém, acendendo uma candeia, a cobre com algum vaso ou a põe debaixo da cama; mas põe-na no velador, para que os que entram vejam a luz. 17 Porque não há coisa oculta que não haja de manifestar-se, nem escondida que não haja de saber-se e vir à luz. 18 Vede, pois, como ouvis, porque a qualquer que tiver lhe será dado, e a qualquer que não tiver até o que parece ter lhe será tirado.

A família de Jesus(C)

19 E foram ter com ele sua mãe e seus irmãos e não podiam aproximar-se dele, por causa da multidão. 20 E foi-lhe dito: Estão fora tua mãe e teus irmãos, que querem ver-te. 21 Mas, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Minha mãe e meus irmãos são aqueles que ouvem a palavra de Deus e a executam.

Jesus apazigua a tempestade(D)

22 E aconteceu que, num daqueles dias, entrou num barco com seus discípulos e disse-lhes: Passemos para a outra banda do lago. E partiram. 23 E, navegando eles, adormeceu; e sobreveio uma tempestade de vento no lago, e o barco enchia-se de água, estando eles em perigo. 24 E, chegando-se a ele, o despertaram, dizendo: Mestre, Mestre, estamos perecendo. E ele, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento e a fúria da água; e cessaram, e fez-se bonança. 25 E disse-lhes: Onde está a vossa fé? E eles, temendo, maravilharam-se, dizendo uns aos outros: Quem é este, que até aos ventos e à água manda, e lhe obedecem?

O endemoninhado gadareno(E)

26 E navegaram para a terra dos gadarenos, que está defronte da Galileia. 27 E, quando desceu para terra, saiu-lhe ao encontro, vindo da cidade, um homem que, desde muito tempo, estava possesso de demônios e não andava vestido nem habitava em qualquer casa, mas nos sepulcros. 28 E, quando viu a Jesus, prostrou-se diante dele, exclamando e dizendo com alta voz: Que tenho eu contigo Jesus, Filho do Deus Altíssimo? Peço-te que não me atormentes. 29 Porque tinha ordenado ao espírito imundo que saísse daquele homem; pois já havia muito tempo que o arrebatava. E guardavam-no preso com grilhões e cadeias; mas, quebrando as prisões, era impelido pelo demônio para os desertos. 30 E perguntou-lhe Jesus, dizendo: Qual é o teu nome? E ele disse: Legião; porque tinham entrado nele muitos demônios. 31 E rogavam-lhe que os não mandasse para o abismo. 32 E andava pastando ali no monte uma manada de muitos porcos; e rogaram-lhe que lhes concedesse entrar neles; e concedeu-lho. 33 E, tendo saído os demônios do homem, entraram nos porcos, e a manada precipitou-se de um despenhadeiro no lago e afogou-se. 34 E aqueles que os guardavam, vendo o que acontecera, fugiram e foram anunciá-lo na cidade e nos campos.

35 E saíram a ver o que tinha acontecido e vieram ter com Jesus. Acharam, então, o homem de quem haviam saído os demônios, vestido e em seu juízo, assentado aos pés de Jesus; e temeram. 36 E os que tinham visto contaram-lhes também como fora salvo aquele endemoninhado. 37 E toda a multidão da terra dos gadarenos ao redor lhe rogou que se retirasse deles, porque estavam possuídos de grande temor. E, entrando ele no barco, voltou. 38 E aquele homem de quem haviam saído os demônios rogou-lhe que o deixasse estar com ele; mas Jesus o despediu, dizendo: 39 Torna para tua casa e conta quão grandes coisas te fez Deus. E ele foi apregoando por toda a cidade quão grandes coisas Jesus lhe tinha feito.

A filha de Jairo. A mulher que tinha um fluxo de sangue(F)

40 E aconteceu que, quando voltou Jesus, a multidão o recebeu, porque todos o estavam esperando. 41 E eis que chegou um varão de nome Jairo, que era príncipe da sinagoga; e, prostrando-se aos pés de Jesus, rogava-lhe que entrasse em sua casa; 42 porque tinha uma filha única, quase de doze anos, que estava à morte.

E, indo ele, apertava-o a multidão. 43 E uma mulher, que tinha um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, e gastara com os médicos todos os seus haveres, e por nenhum pudera ser curada, 44 chegando por detrás dele, tocou na orla da sua veste, e logo estancou o fluxo do seu sangue. 45 E disse Jesus: Quem é que me tocou? E, negando todos, disse Pedro e os que estavam com ele: Mestre, a multidão te aperta e te oprime, e dizes: Quem é que me tocou? 46 E disse Jesus: Alguém me tocou, porque bem conheci que de mim saiu virtude. 47 Então, vendo a mulher que não podia ocultar-se, aproximou-se tremendo e, prostrando-se ante ele, declarou-lhe diante de todo o povo a causa por que lhe havia tocado e como logo sarara. 48 E ele lhe disse: Tem bom ânimo, filha, a tua fé te salvou; vai em paz.

49 Estando ele ainda falando, chegou um da casa do príncipe da sinagoga, dizendo: A tua filha está morta; não incomodes o Mestre. 50 Jesus, porém, ouvindo-o, respondeu-lhe, dizendo: Não temas; crê somente, e será salva. 51 E, entrando em casa, a ninguém deixou entrar, senão a Pedro, e a Tiago, e a João, e ao pai, e a mãe da menina. 52 E todos choravam e a pranteavam; e ele disse: Não choreis; não está morta, mas dorme. 53 E riam-se dele, sabendo que estava morta. 54 Mas ele, pegando-lhe na mão, clamou, dizendo: Levanta-te, menina! 55 E o seu espírito voltou, e ela logo se levantou; e Jesus mandou que lhe dessem de comer. 56 E seus pais ficaram maravilhados, e ele lhes mandou que a ninguém dissessem o que havia sucedido.

Many Women Minister to Jesus

Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and [a]bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and (A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and [b]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, (B)out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for [c]Him from their [d]substance.

The Parable of the Sower(C)

(D)And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded [e]a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, (E)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

The Purpose of Parables(F)

(G)Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”

10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that

(H)‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’

The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)

11 (J)“Now the parable is this: The seed is the (K)word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of [g]temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, (L)riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with (M)patience.[h]

The Parable of the Revealed Light(N)

16 (O)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the (P)light. 17 (Q)For nothing is secret that will not be (R)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [i]seems to (T)have will be taken from him.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Come to Him(U)

19 (V)Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”

21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(W)

22 (X)Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”

Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, (Y)“Where is your faith?”

And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, (Z)“Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”

A Demon-Possessed Man Healed(AA)

26 (AB)Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he (AC)cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, (AD)“What have I to do with (AE)You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”

And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out (AF)into the abyss.

32 Now a herd of many (AG)swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.

34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, (AH)sitting at the (AI)feet of Jesus, clothed and in his (AJ)right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 (AK)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes (AL)asked Him to (AM)depart from them, for they were seized with great (AN)fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

38 Now (AO)the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 (AP)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she (AQ)was dying.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 (AR)Now a woman, having a (AS)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and (AT)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter [o]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [p]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived (AU)power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [q]be of good cheer; (AV)your faith has made you well. (AW)Go in peace.”

49 (AX)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the [r]Teacher.”

50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; (AY)only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go [s]in except [t]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, (AZ)“Do not weep; she is not dead, (BA)but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But He [u]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, (BB)arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but (BC)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

The Parable of the Sower(A)

After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.(B) The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene)(C) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s(D) household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”

When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(E)

His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you,(F) but to others I speak in parables, so that,

“‘though seeing, they may not see;
    though hearing, they may not understand.’[a](G)

11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.(H) 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.(I) 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches(J) and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

A Lamp on a Stand

16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(K) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(M)

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(N)

19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(O) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”

21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(P)

Jesus Calms the Storm(Q)(R)

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(S) we’re going to drown!”

He got up and rebuked(T) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(U) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.

In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man(V)(W)

26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[b] which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me,(X) Jesus, Son of the Most High God?(Y) I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.(Z)

32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake(AA) and was drowned.

34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet,(AB) dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed(AC) man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them,(AD) because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(AE)

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(AF) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(AG) for twelve years,[c] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(AH) and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(AI) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(AJ) I know that power has gone out from me.”(AK)

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(AL) Go in peace.”(AM)

49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(AN) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(AO) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(AP) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(AQ)

53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(AR) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(AS)
