Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”
He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.
But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”
When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick;
and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
The disciples said to him, “Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, ‘because you have brought no bread?’
Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”

When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.
and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”
A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”
He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them.
He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Father’s glory, with the holy angels.”

Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”
