The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
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.
But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
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.

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.

The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
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.

While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
And He and His disciples went on to another village.
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
