She said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house."

Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know before.

A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you."

They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"

He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray."

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."

Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."

They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"

Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"
