Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve, Mat 4:23Rom 10:15Act 10:38Act 13:32Mat 9:35Isa 61:1-3Luk 2:10-11Luk 4:18 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; Mrk 16:9Mat 27:55-56Mrk 15:40-41Jhn 19:25Act 1:14Luk 23:27Luk 23:49Luk 23:55 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them 1 from their possessions. 2Co 8:9Act 9:36-39Php 4:221Ti 5:10Jhn 4:46-531Ch 29:14Isa 23:18Mat 2:11 When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable: Mrk 4:1-9Mat 13:2-9 “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it. Heb 2:1Jas 1:23-24Mrk 4:15Luk 8:11-12Gen 15:11Mrk 4:26-29Mat 13:18-19Mat 13:24-26 Some seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture. Heb 3:7-8Luk 8:13Mrk 4:5-6Rom 2:4-5Amo 6:12Ezk 36:26Heb 3:15Jer 5:3 Some fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. Jer 4:3Luk 8:14Gen 3:18Heb 6:7-8Luk 21:34Mat 13:22Mat 13:7Mrk 4:18-19 Some fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Mat 11:15Rev 2:11Rev 2:7Mat 13:23Mat 13:8-9Mrk 4:20Mrk 4:8Pro 20:12
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?” Mat 13:10Mat 13:18Mrk 4:10Hos 6:3Jhn 15:15Mat 13:36Mat 15:15Mrk 4:34
He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ 2 Isa 6:9Mrk 4:11Mat 11:25Jer 5:21Isa 44:18Mat 13:11-17Act 28:26-27Col 2:2
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 1Pe 1:23-25Mat 13:19Mrk 4:14-20Jas 1:211Co 3:6-71Co 3:9-12Isa 8:20 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. 2Th 2:9-14Mat 13:19Rev 12:9Mrk 4:15Pro 1:24-26Jas 1:23-24Pro 4:5Isa 65:11 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation. Hos 6:4Jhn 5:35Pro 12:122Pe 2:22Ezk 33:32Jud 1:121Co 15:22Pe 2:20 What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity. 1Jn 2:15-171Ti 6:9-101Ti 6:17Luk 21:34Mat 13:22Mat 6:24-25Mrk 4:19Luk 8:7 Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance. Heb 10:36Gal 5:22-26Col 1:10Luk 6:451Jn 2:3Col 1:6Jas 1:22-25Jhn 14:15
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light. Luk 11:33Mat 5:15-16Mrk 4:21-22Act 26:18Php 2:15-16Rev 1:20Rev 11:4 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Luk 12:2-3Mat 10:26Mrk 4:22Ecc 12:141Co 4:5 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.” Mat 13:12Luk 19:26Mrk 4:23-25Mat 25:29Pro 2:2-5Heb 2:1Jhn 15:21Co 14:37
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd. Mat 12:46-50Mrk 3:21Mrk 3:31-35 Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.” 1Co 9:5Act 1:14Gal 1:19Jhn 7:3-6Mat 13:55-56Mrk 6:3
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Luk 11:27-28Jas 1:22Jhn 13:171Jn 2:293Jn 1:11Heb 2:11-132Co 6:18Jhn 15:14-15
Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out. Mat 8:23-27Mrk 4:35-41Mrk 6:45Luk 5:1Luk 8:23Mat 14:22Mrk 8:13Jhn 6:1 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water. Isa 54:11Psa 93:3-4Act 27:14-20Isa 51:9-10Luk 8:22Psa 107:23-30Psa 124:2-4Psa 148:8 They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm. 3 Luk 4:39Psa 107:25-292Co 1:9-10Luk 5:5Psa 104:6-9Jer 5:22Jhn 2:2-6Nam 1:4 He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?” Mat 8:26Mrk 4:40-41Pro 30:4Jhn 11:40Mat 14:31Gen 1:9-10Luk 12:28Mat 17:20
Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. Mrk 5:1-20Mat 8:28-34 When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs. Mrk 5:2-51Sa 19:24Num 19:16Isa 65:4 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!” Mat 8:292Pe 2:41Jn 3:8Act 16:16-18Isa 27:1Jas 2:19Luk 4:33-36Luk 8:37-38 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert. 2Ti 2:25-26Act 19:12-16Luk 9:39Luk 9:42Mrk 5:3-5Mrk 5:8Mrk 9:20-26
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” Mat 26:53Luk 8:2Mat 8:29Mrk 16:9Mrk 5:9
He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him. They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. Mat 25:41Job 1:11Job 2:5Luk 8:28Php 2:10-11Rev 11:7Rev 17:8Rev 19:20
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them. Isa 65:4Isa 66:31Jn 4:41Ki 22:22Jhn 19:11Job 1:10Job 1:12Job 2:6 The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. 1Pe 5:8Jhn 8:44Luk 8:22-23Rev 9:11
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. Mrk 5:14Act 19:16-17Mat 28:11Mat 8:33
People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Luk 10:391Jn 3:8Act 22:3Psa 51:10Heb 2:14-15Isa 53:12Luk 8:27Isa 49:24-25 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed. Mat 4:24 All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned. Act 16:39Luk 5:81Ki 17:181Sa 6:20Deu 5:25Job 21:14-15Luk 10:10-11Luk 10:16 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, Act 9:13-16Mrk 5:18-20Psa 145:3-121Ti 1:13-16Deu 10:20-21Exo 12:25-27Exo 13:14-16Exo 13:8-9 “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. 1Ti 5:8Jhn 4:29Luk 17:15-18Deu 10:21Dan 4:1-3Dan 4:34-37Mrk 1:45Psa 126:2-3
When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. Mat 9:1Mrk 5:21Mrk 6:20Act 10:33Jhn 5:35Luk 19:37-38Luk 19:48Luk 19:6 Behold, a man named Jairus came.

Jesus said, “Who touched me?” Luk 9:13Luk 5:5Mrk 5:30-32
When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.” Luk 6:19Luk 5:171Pe 2:9 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. Mrk 5:331Co 2:3Luk 17:15-161Sa 16:42Co 7:15Act 16:29Heb 12:28Hab 3:16 He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Luk 7:50Mat 9:22Heb 4:2Act 14:9Luk 17:19Mrk 5:341Sa 1:172Co 6:18
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.” Mrk 5:35-43Isa 7:12Luk 7:6Luk 11:7Luk 8:41-43Mat 9:23-26
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.” Jhn 11:40Jhn 11:25Mrk 5:36Mrk 11:22-24Luk 8:48Rom 4:17Isa 50:10Mrk 9:23
When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother. 1Ki 17:19-232Ki 4:4-6Isa 42:2Luk 9:28Mat 6:5-6Mrk 14:33Act 9:40Luk 6:14 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep.
