Jēzus sekotājas
1 Pēc tam Jēzus apstaigāja pilsētas un ciemus, sludinādams un mācīdams evaņģēliju par Dieva valstību; tie divpadsmit bija ar viņu 2 un tāpat arī dažas sievietes, kas bija dziedinātas no nešķīstiem gariem un slimībām: Marija, saukta Magdalēna, no kuras bija izgājuši septiņi dēmoni, 3 Joanna, Hēroda pārvaldnieka Hūzas sieva, arī Zuzanna un daudzas citas, kas ar savu rocību gādāja par viņiem.
Līdzība par sējēju
(Mt 13:1–9Mk 4:1–9)4 Kad sapulcējās liels ļaužu pūlis un daudzu pilsētu ļaudis sanāca pie viņa, viņš runāja līdzībā: 5 “Sējējs izgāja sēt sēklu. Viņam sējot, cita krita ceļmalā un tika samīta, un debesu putni to apēda; 6 cita krita klintainē un uzdīgusi novīta, jo tai nebija valgmes; 7 cita krita starp ērkšķiem, un ērkšķi, reizē augdami, to nomāca; 8 cita krita labā zemē, tā uzdīga un nesa simtkārtīgus augļus.” To pateicis, viņš sauca: “Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird.”
Jēzus skaidro līdzību nozīmi
(Mt 13:18–23Mk 4:13–20)9 Tad mācekļi viņam jautāja: “Ko nozīmē šī līdzība?” 10 Viņš sacīja: “Jums ir dots zināt Dieva valstības noslēpumus, bet pārējiem līdzībās, lai tie redzēdami neredzētu un dzirdēdami nesaprastu. 11 Šī līdzība ir šāda, redzi, sēkla ir Dieva vārds. 12 Ceļmalā ir tie, kas dzird; bet tad nāk sātans un paņem prom vārdu no viņu sirdīm, lai tie neticētu un netaptu izglābti. 13 Bet kas sēts klintainē – ir tie, kas, vārdu dzirdējuši, ar prieku to uzņem, bet, būdami bez saknēm, tikai uz brīdi notic, bet pārbaudījuma laikā atkrīt. 14 Bet kas sēts starp ērkšķiem – ir tie, kas vārdu ir dzirdējuši, bet dzīves rūpesti, bagātība un baudas to noslāpē, un tie augļus nenes. 15 Bet kas sēts labā zemē – ir tie, kas vārdu dzird un glabā to krietnā un labā sirdī un augļus nes pacietībā.
Apslēptais nāk gaismā
(Mt 5:13–15)16 Gaismekli iededzis, neviens to neslēpj zem trauka vai zem gultas, bet liek lukturī, lai ienācēji redzētu gaismu. 17 Nav nekā apslēpta, kas netaptu redzams, nav nekā noglabāta, kas reiz netaptu zināms vai nenāktu atklātībā. 18 Tad nu pielūkojiet, kā jūs klausāties; jo, kam ir, tam dos, bet, kam nav, tam atņems arī to, ko tas tur par savu.”
Jēzus māte un brāļi
(Mt 12:46–50Mk 3:31–35)19 Pie viņa atnāca māte un viņa brāļi, bet ļaužu pūļa dēļ nevarēja viņam tikt klāt. 20 Un kāds viņam teica: “Tava māte un tavi brāļi stāv ārā un grib tevi redzēt.” 21 Bet viņš sacīja: “Mana māte un mani brāļi ir tie, kas Dieva vārdu dzird un pilda.”
Jēzus apsauc vētru
(Mt 8:23–27Mk 4:35–41)22 Tad kādu dienu Jēzus un viņa mācekļi sēdās laivā, un viņš tiem sacīja: “Celsimies uz ezera otru krastu.” Un viņi cēlās pāri. 23 Tiem braucot, viņš iemiga, un ezerā sacēlās liela vētra; viļņi gāzās laivā, un viņi bija briesmās; 24 tie piegāja viņam klāt un modināja viņu: “Mācītāj, Mācītāj, mēs ejam bojā!” Piecēlies viņš apsauca vēju un bangojošos ūdeņus. Un tie norima, un iestājās klusums. 25 Viņš tiem sacīja: “Kur ir jūsu ticība?” Pārbijušies tie brīnījās un cits citam jautāja: “Kas viņš tāds ir, ka pavēl pat vējiem un ūdeņiem un tie viņam paklausa?”
Jēzus dziedina apsēsto
(Mt 8:28–34Mk 5:1–20)26 Un tie nonāca Gerasas apgabalā, kas iepretim Galilejai. 27 Kad viņš izkāpa krastā, no pilsētas pretī nāca kāds dēmonu apsēsts vīrs, kas jau ilgu laiku nevalkāja drēbes un nedzīvoja mājās, bet kapos. 28 Ieraudzījis Jēzu, viņš iekliedzās, nokrita viņa priekšā un skaļā balsī sauca: “Jēzu, visaugstā Dieva Dēls, kāda daļa mums vienam gar otru? Es tevi lūdzu, nemoki mani!” 29 Jo viņš pavēlēja nešķīstajam garam iziet no šī cilvēka. Tas bija ilgu laiku to sagrābis savā varā; to bija sējuši ķēdēm un saistījuši važām, lai savaldītu, bet tas bija važas sarāvis, un dēmons to dzina uz tuksnesīgām vietām. 30 Jēzus tam jautāja: “Kāds ir tavs vārds?” Tas atbildēja: “Leģions.” Jo daudz dēmonu bija viņā iegājuši. 31 Un tie sāka viņu lūgt, lai nepavēl tiem mesties bezdibenī. 32 Bet tur uz kalna bija liels cūku bars. Dēmoni lūdzās, lai ļauj tiem ieiet cūkās. Un viņš tiem atļāva. 33 Dēmoni, izgājuši no tā cilvēka, iegāja cūkās, un ganāmpulks metās lejā no kraujas ezerā un noslīka. 34 Gani, to redzēdami, aizbēga un izdaudzināja par šo notikumu pilsētā un laukos. 35 Ļaudis iznāca, lai redzētu, kas noticis, un nonāca pie Jēzus un atrada cilvēku, no kura dēmoni bija izgājuši, sēžam pie Jēzus kājām, apģērbtu un pie pilna saprāta, un tie izbijās. 36 Un tie, kas bija redzējuši, kā dēmonu apsēstais tika dziedināts, viņiem to pastāstīja. 37 Viss lielais ļaužu pulks no Gerasas apgabala lūdza viņu iet prom, jo lielas izbailes tos bija pārņēmušas. Un viņš, iekāpis laivā, atgriezās Galilejā. 38 Vīrs, no kura dēmoni bija izgājuši, lūdza ļaut tam palikt kopā ar viņu, bet viņš to raidīja prom, sacīdams: 39 “Atgriezies savās mājās un stāsti, ko Dievs tev ir darījis.” Un tas aizgāja un izdaudzināja pa visu pilsētu, ko Jēzus viņam bija darījis.
Jēzus dziedina Jaīra meitu un ar asinsteci slimo
(Mt 9:18–26Mk 5:21–43)40 Kad Jēzus atgriezās, viņu uzņēma ļaužu pūlis, jo visi viņu gaidīja. 41 Un, redzi, atnāca kāds vīrs, vārdā Jaīrs. Viņš bija sinagogas priekšnieks. Nokritis pie Jēzus kājām, tas lūdza viņu ienākt savā namā, 42 jo viņa vienīgā meita, ap divpadsmit gadu veca, bija uz miršanu. Un, viņam ejot, pūlis spiedās ap viņu. 43 Tur bija kāda sieviete, kas sirga ar asiņošanu jau divpadsmit gadus, bet neviens nebija spējis to dziedināt; 44 no mugurpuses piegājusi, tā pieskārās viņa drēbju malai, un asiņošana tūlīt pārstāja. 45 Jēzus jautāja: “Kas man pieskārās?” Visi liedzās, bet Pēteris sacīja: “Mācītāj, ļaudis ap tevi drūzmējas un spiežas virsū. ” 46 Bet Jēzus teica: “Man kāds pieskārās, es jutu spēku izejam no sevis.” 47 Kad sieviete redzēja, ka nav palikusi nepamanīta, viņa drebēdama nāca un, nometusies pie viņa zemē, pastāstīja visu ļaužu priekšā, kādēļ tā viņam pieskārusies un kā tūlīt kļuvusi vesela. 48 Un viņš tai sacīja: “Meita, tava ticība tevi ir dziedinājusi. Ej ar mieru.” 49 Viņam vēl runājot, nāca kāds no sinagogas priekšnieka nama un sacīja Jaīram: “Tava meita jau ir nomirusi, neapgrūtini vairs Skolotāju.” 50 To dzirdējis, Jēzus sacīja Jaīram: “Nebīsties, tici, un viņa tiks izglābta.” 51 Ieiedams šajā namā, viņš neļāva citiem ienākt kopā ar viņu kā vienīgi Pēterim, Jānim un Jēkabam un bērna tēvam un mātei. 52 Visi vaimanāja un raudāja par bērnu. Bet viņš sacīja: “Neraudiet, viņa nav mirusi, bet tikai guļ.” 53 Un tie viņu izsmēja, zinādami, ka tā ir mirusi. 54 Bet viņš, satvēris tās roku, sauca: “Bērns, mosties!” 55 Un tā sāka elpot un tūlīt piecēlās, un viņš lika dot tai ēst. 56 Viņas vecākus pārņēma liels izbrīns, bet viņš piekodināja tiem par šo notikumu neko nestāstīt.
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 ¶ And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 They on the rock are they , which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it , and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 ¶ No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. 17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 ¶ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 ¶ Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water , and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 ¶ And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 ¶ Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. 38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. 40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 ¶ And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 ¶ And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind him , and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee , and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 ¶ While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house , saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Jesus heard it , he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
