And he said unto him, "Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee
whole."

And as they went on the way, a certain scribe said unto him, "I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest."
And Jesus said unto him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the
heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
And he said unto another, "Follow me."
But he said, "Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."
But he said unto him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go
thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God."
And another also said, "I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me
to bid farewell to them that are at my house."
But Jesus said unto him, "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and
looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?"
The multitude answered, "Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?"
Jesus answered and said unto them, "I did one work, and ye all marvel
