Jesus Calls Levi

¹³ He went out again beside the sea, and ^(A)all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.

The Parable of the Sower

4 Again ^(A)he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, ^(B)so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

The Call of Wisdom

³⁸ And early in the morning ^(A)all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.

⁴⁸ but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.

²⁰ Then he went ^(A)home, and the crowd gathered again, ^(B)so that they could not even eat. ^21 (C)And when ^(D)his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He ^(E)is out of his mind.”

A Great Crowd Follows Jesus

^7 (A)Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and ^(B)a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea ⁸ and Jerusalem and ^(C)Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around ^(D)Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him.

² And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them.

^45 (A)But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter ^(B)a town, but was out in ^(C)desolate places, and ^(D)people were coming to him from every quarter.
