And she rushed back to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter!”

Now the apostles gathered to meet Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.

Many [people] saw them leaving, and recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the [surrounding] cities, and got there ahead of them.

And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

Now those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men.

Now when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on the land.

Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem and gathered around Him,

Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men."

Now when Jesus had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

Now the Pharisees came out and started to argue with him, asking him for a Sign from heaven, by way of tempting him.

Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

"Do not you understand now?" he repeated.

Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the villages [in the vicinity] of Caesarea Philippi [Note: This was a city about

And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."

For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.

Now [when] Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!"

now when Jesus was retired to his own house, his disciples asked him in private, why could not we cast this spirit out?

for He was now teaching His disciples, and saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be turned over into men's hands, and they will kill Him, but three days after that He will rise again."

Now some Pharisees came up and asked him if a man was allowed to divorce his wife. This was to tempt him.

and they twain shall be made one flesh.' So then are they now not twain, but one flesh.

Now in the house the disciples questioned Him again about this matter.

Now people were bringing little children to him for him to touch, but the disciples scolded those who brought them.

Now as Jesus was starting out on his way, someone ran up to him, fell on his knees, and said, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

now, said he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the Scribes, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles.

Now James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came over to Jesus and said to Him, "We would like you to do for us whatever we ask you."

Now when the other ten heard this, they became angry with James and John.

When Bartimaeus heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout and say, “Jesus, Son of David (Messiah), have mercy on me!”

Many sternly rebuked him, telling him to keep still and be quiet; but he kept on shouting out all the more, “Son of David (Messiah), have mercy on me!”

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." And they called the blind man and said to him, "Courage now! Get up, he is calling you!"

Now as they approached Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

And the people who walked ahead of Him and followed behind shouted, "Hosanna [Note: The Syriac word 'Hosanna' originally meant 'save now' but came to be used as an expression of welcome, praise, blessing or acclamation], may He who comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord, be blessed.

Now in the distance He saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and He went up to it to see if He might find some figs on it, but when He got to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs.

So he told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" Now his disciples were listening to this.

And He remonstrated with them. "Is it not written," He said, "'My House shall be called The House of Prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it what it now is--a robbers' cave."

Now the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law heard this and began to look for some way of putting Jesus to death; for they were afraid of him, since all the people were greatly impressed by his teaching.

Now every evening he used to go outside the city;

Now as they passed in the morning they noticed the fig tree had withered to the root.

Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever you pray for and ask, believe that you just now received them, and they shall be unto you.

Now they argued to themselves, "[What are we to say?] If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why did you not believe him.'

Should we pay it, or should we not?" Now because He saw their pretense, He said to them, "Why are you testing me so? Bring me a twenty-cent coin to look at."

Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"

Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!"

Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

When they take you and turn you over [to the court], do not worry beforehand about what to say, but say whatever is given to you [by God] in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit [who will speak through you].

Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

Now when you shall see the-abomination of desolation, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, establish'd where it ought not to be (let the reader observe) then let those, who are in Judea, flee to the mountains:

Now after the time of that distress, the sun shall be dark, and the moon shall give no light:

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

“Now concerning that day or hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven nor the Son—except the Father.

Now, when they heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him, silver; and he was seeking how, at a favourable opportunity, he might, deliver him up.

Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

And while they were sitting at table and eating, Jesus said, "I solemnly say to you, one of you, one who is now eating with me, is going to betray me."

Is it I? And He said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that is now dipping with me in the dish.

And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
