For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

He said, Bring them hither to me.

And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
