When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

for John was not yet thrown into prison.

Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
