The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
-
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
-
Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
-
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
-
The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
-
And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

The Workers Are Few
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
-
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
-
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
-
“The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.
-
It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
-
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
-
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
-
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
-
God’s Chosen Servant
Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.
-
“Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
-
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
-
And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
-
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
-
Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
-
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
-
But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
-
“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
-
“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
-
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
