Women Who Accompanied Jesus
1 Some time later Jesus traveled through towns and villages, preaching the Good News about the Kingdom of God. The twelve disciples went with him, 2 and so did some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had been driven out; 3 Joanna, whose husband Chuza was an officer in Herod's court; and Susanna, and many other women who used their own resources to help Jesus and his disciples.
The Parable of the Sower
(Matthew 13.1-9Mark 4.1-9)4 People kept coming to Jesus from one town after another; and when a great crowd gathered, Jesus told this parable:
5 “Once there was a man who went out to sow grain. As he scattered the seed in the field, some of it fell along the path, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some of it fell on rocky ground, and when the plants sprouted, they dried up because the soil had no moisture. 7 Some of the seed fell among thorn bushes, which grew up with the plants and choked them. 8 And some seeds fell in good soil; the plants grew and bore grain, one hundred grains each.”
And Jesus concluded, “Listen, then, if you have ears!”
The Purpose of the Parables
(Matthew 13.10-17Mark 4.10-12)9 His disciples asked Jesus what this parable meant, 10 and he answered, “The knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of God has been given to you, but to the rest it comes by means of parables, so that they may look but not see, and listen but not understand.
Jesus Explains the Parable of the Sower
(Matthew 13.18-23Mark 4.13-20)11 “This is what the parable means: the seed is the word of God. 12 The seeds that fell along the path stand for those who hear; but the Devil comes and takes the message away from their hearts in order to keep them from believing and being saved. 13 The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who hear the message and receive it gladly. But it does not sink deep into them; they believe only for a while but when the time of testing comes, they fall away. 14 The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear; but the worries and riches and pleasures of this life crowd in and choke them, and their fruit never ripens. 15 The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit.
A Lamp under a Bowl
(Mark 4.21-25)16 “No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on the lampstand, so that people will see the light as they come in.
17 “Whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open, and whatever is covered up will be found and brought to light.
18 “Be careful, then, how you listen; because those who have something will be given more, but whoever has nothing will have taken away from them even the little they think they have.”
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
(Matthew 12.46-50Mark 3.31-35)19 Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but were unable to join him because of the crowd. 20 Someone said to Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to see you.”
21 Jesus said to them all, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Jesus Calms a Storm
(Matthew 8.23-27Mark 4.35-41)22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they started out. 23 As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. Suddenly a strong wind blew down on the lake, and the boat began to fill with water, so that they were all in great danger. 24 The disciples went to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master! We are about to die!”
Jesus got up and gave an order to the wind and to the stormy water; they quieted down, and there was a great calm. 25 Then he said to the disciples, “Where is your faith?”
But they were amazed and afraid, and said to one another, “Who is this man? He gives orders to the winds and waves, and they obey him!”
Jesus Heals a Man with Demons
(Matthew 8.28-34Mark 5.1-20)26 Jesus and his disciples sailed on over to the territory of Gerasa, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 As Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the town who had demons in him. For a long time this man had gone without clothes and would not stay at home, but spent his time in the burial caves. 28 When he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry, threw himself down at his feet, and shouted, “Jesus, Son of the Most High God! What do you want with me? I beg you, don't punish me!” 29 He said this because Jesus had ordered the evil spirit to go out of him. Many times it had seized him, and even though he was kept a prisoner, his hands and feet tied with chains, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon out into the desert.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is ‘Mob,’” he answered—because many demons had gone into him. 31 The demons begged Jesus not to send them into the abyss.
32 There was a large herd of pigs near by, feeding on a hillside. So the demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he let them. 33 They went out of the man and into the pigs. The whole herd rushed down the side of the cliff into the lake and was drowned.
34 The men who had been taking care of the pigs saw what happened, so they ran off and spread the news in the town and among the farms. 35 People went out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were all afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the man had been cured. 37 Then all the people from that territory asked Jesus to go away, because they were terribly afraid. So Jesus got into the boat and left. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus, “Let me go with you.”
But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Go back home and tell what God has done for you.”
The man went through the town, telling what Jesus had done for him.
Jairus' Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus' Cloak
(Matthew 9.18-26Mark 5.21-43)40 When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying.
As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, “Who touched me?”
Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me.” 47 The woman saw that she had been found out, so she came trembling and threw herself at Jesus' feet. There in front of everybody, she told him why she had touched him and how she had been healed at once. 48 Jesus said to her, “My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 While Jesus was saying this, a messenger came from the official's house. “Your daughter has died,” he told Jairus; “don't bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 But Jesus heard it and said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid; only believe, and she will be well.”
51 When he arrived at the house, he would not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 Everyone there was crying and mourning for the child. Jesus said, “Don't cry; the child is not dead—she is only sleeping!”
53 They all made fun of him, because they knew that she was dead. 54 But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Get up, child!” 55 Her life returned, and she got up at once, and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what had happened.

K. Jezus Galilejā.
1 Pēc tam Jys, staigōdams pa mīstim un solom, sludynōja Dīva vaļsteibas Evangeliju. Reizē ar Jū beja tī divpadsmit 2 un dažas sīvītes, kuras beja padarejis vasalas nu naškeistim gorim un slimeibom: Marija, sauktō Magdalena, nu kuras beja izdzeiti septeni ļaunī gori, 3 un Joanna, Eroda monta pōrvaļdnīka Husa sīva, Zuzona un daudzejas cytas, kas Jam dareja pakolpōjumus nu sovas maņteibas.
Pīleidzeiba par sējēju.
4 Kad sasalaseja lels ļaužu pulks, un nu mīstim ļaudis steidzēs pi Jō, Jys runōja jim pīleidzeibōs:
5 Sējējs izgōja sovas sāklas sātu. Sējūt cyta nūkryta ceļmolā. Jū samyna, un gaisa putni jū izkņōbōja. 6 Cyta nūkryta akmiņaiņā dryvā un izdeiguse nūkolta, jo jai nabeja mytruma. 7 Cyta otkon īkryta ēršku vydā. Ērški, reizē augdami, jū nūmōce. 8 Cyta īkryta lobā zemē un izauguse deve symtkōrtejū augli.
Tū saceidams, Jys atsasauce: Kam auss ir dzērdēšonai, lai klausōs.
9 Tad mōcekli Jō vaicōja: Kū šitei pīleidzeiba nūzeimoj? 10 Jys atbiļdēja: Jums ir dūts saprast Dīva vaļsteibas nūslāpumus, citim tikai pīleidzeibōs, lai
vārdamīs naradzātu
un klauseidamīs nasaprostu.
11 Pīleidzeiba nūzeimoj nōkūšū: Sākla ir Dīva vōrds. 12 Ceļmolā īsāts ir tim, kas jū tikai dzērd, bet atgōjis valns nu jūs sirdim sāklu izraun, ka jī tycādami natyktu izpesteiti. 13 Akmiņaiņā dryvā ir īsāts tim, kas ar prīcu pījam vōrdu, leidz kū tū izdzērst, bet tam nav sakņu. Jī tic tikai kaidu laiku. Kārdynōšonas breidī jī pakreit. 14 Ēršku vydā kreit tim, kas klausōs, bet ryupes, bogōteiba, un dzeives izprīcas jū nūmōc, un jei nanūkōrst. 15 Lobā zemē ir īsāts tim, kas, izdzērduši vōrdu, jū globoj lobā un bezviļteigā sirdī, un pacīteibā dūd augļus.
16 Nivīns, īdedzis guni, nasadz jōs ar trauku, kai ari nalīk jōs zam gultas, bet gon līk jū uz luktura, lai īgōjējs radzātu gaismu. 17 Nikas tadei navā tai nūglobōts, ka nabyutu atklōts, un nikas nav tai nūslāpts, ka natyktu izzynōts. 18 Uzmonit tad, kai jums jōsaklausa: Jo kam ir, tam vēļ īdūs, bet kam nav, nu tō tiks atjimts ari tys, kas, kai dūmoj, jam ir.
19 Un atgōja pi Jō Jō mōte un brōli, bet, ļaužu daudzuma dēļ, navarēja pīīt klōtu. 20 Tad Jam paziņōja, ka Jō mōte un brōli stōv ōrā un grybātu Jū redzēt. 21 Bet Jys atsasaucis saceja: Muna mōte un Muni brōli ir tī, kas Dīva vōrdus klausa un jūs pylda.
Vātra uz azara.
22 Un nūtyka, ka vīnu dīn Jys, ar sovim mōceklim īkōpis laivā, jim saceja: Brauksim uz ūtrū azara krostu. Un jī devēs ceļā.
23 Braucūt Jys aizmyga. Te sasacēle uz azara vātra. Jūs sōce aplīt viļni, un jī beja brīsmōs. 24 Pīgōjuši tad klōt, pamūdynōja Jū saceidami: Mōceitōj, Mōceitōj, mes ejam būjā! Tad Jys pīsacēlis pavēlēja vātrai un viļnojūšajim yudinim, un jī apklusa, un īsastōja lels klusums. 25 Un jim saceja: Kur jyusu ticeiba? Bet jī pōrsabeiduši breinōjōs, un vīns ūtram saceja: Kas Jys taids ir, ka pat vātrom un yudinim pīsoka, un tī Jō klausa.
26 Jī aizbrauce uz Gerazenu zemi, kas ir pret Galileju. 27 Kad Jys izkōpe molā, Jam aizskrēja ceļā vīns tīnes mīsta cylvāks, kas beja valna apsāsts. Jys jau ilgu laiku nanosōja nikaidu drēbu. Jys nadzeivōja mōjōs, bet gon kopūs. 28 Īraudzejis Jezu, aizaklīdze un, pakritis Jō prīškā, saceja: Kaida maņ daļa ar Tevi, Jezu, Vysaugstōkō Dīva Dāls! Es Tevi lyudzu, namūki manis! 29 Jezus naškeistam goram beja pavēlējis īt orā nu tō cylvāka, jo prōvu laiku jys jū beja turējis sovā varā. Jys bīži vīn jū rausteja. Jū beja sasejuši kēdēs un pynāklūs un cīši turējuši, bet jys, saraustejis saitas, nu naškeista gora beja dzeits tuksnesī. 30 Jezus vaicōja: Kaids tev vōrds? Jys atbiļdēja: Legions, — jo daudzi naškeistu goru jamā beja sagōjuši. 31 Tī Jū lyudze, ka Jys jim nalyktu īt uz eļni.
32 Uz kolna ganejōs lels vepru bors. Jī tad lyudze, lai atļautu jymūs saīt. Un Jys tim atļōve. 33 Tad vaļni, izgōjuši nu cylvāka, sagōja veprūs. Vepru bors metēs pōri par kolnu azarā un nūsleika.
34 Radzādami, kas nūtyka, goni aizbāga prūjom un tū pastōsteja mīstā un solōs. 35 Ļaudis atgōja apsavārtu, kas beja nūticis. Atgōjuši pi Jezus, atroda tū cylvāku, nu kura beja izgōjuši naškeistī gori, apsagārbušu un prōteigi pi Jezus kōjom sēžūt, jī nūsabeida. 36 Bet tī, kas beja redzējuši, pastōsteja, kaidā veidā apsāstais palyka vasals. 37 Tad visi Gerazenu molas audis sōce lyugt, lai Jys ītu nu jim prūjom, jo jūs beja pōrjāmuse lela baile.
38 Tad Jys īkōpe laivā un laidēs braukt atpakaļ, bet tys cylvāks, nu kurō beja izgōjuši naškeistī gori, lyudze, ka atļautu palikt pi Jō. Bet (Jezus) palaide jū saceidams: 39 Ej atpakaļ uz sovu sātu un stōsti, cik lelas lītas Dīvs ir tev padarejis. Jys tad aizgōja stōsteidams pa vysu mīstu, kū Jezus jam izdareja.
Jaira meitines pīceļšona nu myrūnim.
40 Kad Jezus atsagrīze atpakaļ, ļaužu pulks Jū satyka, jo visi Jō gaideja.
41 Raug, te pīgōja klōt vīns cylvāks, vōrdā Jairs, kas beja synagogas prīkšnīks. Jys pakryta pi Jezus kōjom un lyudze, lai Jys ītu uz jō sātu, 42 jo vīneigō jō, apmāram divpadsmit godu (vaca), meita gulēja nōves gultā.
Ceļā uz tīni Jū apstōja lels ļaužu pulks. 43 Kaida sīvīte, kas jau divpadsmit godu slymōja ar ašņa tecēšonu un vysu sovu montu beja ōrstim iztērējuse, bet ni pi kō navarēja dabōt izaveseļōšonas. 44 Jei pīgōja klōt nu aizmugures un pīsaskōre pi Jō svōrku styura, un tamā pat breidī jai pōrstōja tecēt asnis. 45 Jezus vaicōja: Kas Mani aizskōre? Nivīnam naatsazeistūt, Pīters un jō leidzgōjēji saceja: Mōceitōj, ļaudis laužās klōt pi Tevis un spīžās, (bet Tu vēļ jautoj, kas Tevi aizskōre). 46 Bet Jezus atbiļdēja: Kaut kas ir Mani aizskōris, jo Es zynu, ka nu Manis izgōja spāks. 47 Sīvīte, radzādama, ka jei navarēs nūsaslēpt, treisādama pīgōja klōt, pakryta Jō prīškā pi zemes un vysu ļaužu prīškā izzyna, kōpēc jei Jū aizskōre, un ka tamā pat breidī palyka vasala. 48 Tad Jys tai saceja: Meitiņ, tova ticeiba tevi pesteja, ej ikš mīra.
49 Jam vēļ tū runojūt, atgōja kaids nu synagogas prīkšnīka mōjom un saceja: Tova meita jau nūmyra, naapgryutynoj vairs Mōceitōja. 50 Bet Jezus, tū izdzērdis, jam saceja: Nasabeisti. Tikai tici. Jei byus izglōbta. 51 Īīdams mōjā ar sevi leidza īlaide īkšā tikai Pīteri, Jōni un Jākubu, kai ari meitines tāvu un mōti. 52 Visi pēc Jōs raudōja un ļūti nūžālōja. Bet Jys saceja: Naraudit, meitine navā nūmyruse, jei tikai guļ. 53 Tad visi sōce Jū izsmīt, jo jī zynōja, ka jei ir nūmyruse. 54 Jys pajēme jū aiz rūkas un sauce: Meitiņ, celīs augšā. 55 Gors jai atsagrīze, un jei tyuleņ pīsacēle. Tad Jys pavēlēja jai dūt ēst. 56 Jōs dzymdynōtōji ļūti breinōjōs. Bet Jys tim nūlīdze par tū, kas nūticis, kaut kam stōsteit.
