Matthew 8:23-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Wind and Wave Obey the Master 23  As He got into the [ a ]   boat,   His disciples   followed Him.   24  Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves.

We’re going to die!” 26  But He said to them,   “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?”   Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea.   And there was a great calm. 27  The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this?—even the winds and the sea obey   Him!” Luke 8:22-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Wind and Wave Obey the Master 22  One day He and His disciples got into a boat,   and He told them,   “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.”   So they set out,   23  and as they were sailing He fell asleep. Then a fierce windstorm came down on the lake; they were being swamped and were in danger.

Mark 3:31-35 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) True Relationships 31  Then   His mother   and His brothers   came, and standing outside, they sent word to Him and called Him.   32  A crowd was sitting around Him and told Him, “Look, Your mother, Your brothers,   and Your sisters [ a ]   are outside asking for You.” 33  He replied to them,   “Who are My mother and My brothers?”   34  And looking about at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said,   “Here are My mother and My brothers!   35  Whoever does the will of God   is My brother and sister and mother.” Luke 8:19-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) True Relationships 19  Then His mother and brothers   came to Him,   but they could not meet with Him because of the crowd.   20  He was told, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.” 21  But He replied to them,   “My mother and My brothers are those who hear and do the word of God.” Luke 11:27-28 Holman C

Matthew 12:33-37 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) A Tree and Its Fruit 33  “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad [ a ]   and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.   34  Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow   of the heart.   35  A good man produces good things from his storeroom of good, [ b ]   and an evil man produces evil things from his storeroom of evil.   36  I tell you that on the day of judgment   people will have to account   for every careless word they speak. [ c ]   37  For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Luke 8:1-3 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Many Women Support Christ’s Work 8  Soon afterward He was traveling from one town and village to another,   preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.   The Twelve were with Him,   2  and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses:   Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out   of her); 3  Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who were supporting them from their possessions.

Matthew 11:16-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) An Unresponsive Generation 16  “To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other: 17  We played the flute for you, but you didn’t dance; we sang a lament, but you didn’t mourn! [ a ] 18  For John did not come eating or drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’   19  The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard,   a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’   Yet wisdom is vindicated [ b ]   by her deeds.” [ c ] 20  Then He proceeded to denounce the towns where most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent:   21  “Woe to you, Chorazin!   Woe to you, Bethsaida!   For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon,   they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago!   22  But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment   than for you

Matthew 11:1-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) In Praise of John the Baptist 11  When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.   2  When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples   3  and asked Him, “Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 4  Jesus replied to them,   “Go and report to John what you hear and see:   5  the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, [ a ]   the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.   6  And if anyone is not offended because of Me, he is blessed.” 7  As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:   “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? 8  What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? Look, those who wear soft clothes are in kings’ palaces.   9  But what did you go out to
