According to Mark 3: 20-30: Jesus and Beelzebul
20 And he comes into the house; and again [the] crowd gathers, so that they are not able to eat food. 21 And hearing (it,) those with him went out to restrain it; for they said that it is not proper. 22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said that he has Beelzebul and that by the power of demons he throws out demons. 23 And summoning them he said to them in parables, "How can Satan throw Satan out? 24 And if the kingdom is divided in itself, that kingdom cannot stand; 25 and if the house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan rebelled against himself and was divided, he cannot stand but has an end. 27 But no one can enter the house of the mighty (and) steal his stuff, if he has not first bound the mighty (one), and then he will plunder his house.
28 "Truly I tell you that all sinful deeds and blasphemies(,) however much they blaspheme(,) will be forgiven to the sons of men; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit, he does not have forgiveness forever; but rather is an enemy(,) of the age of sin." 30 (That was) because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."

According to Mark 4: 1-9: The Parable of the Sower
1 And again he began to teach beside the sea; and a large crowd was gathered, so that (he) embarked and sat in the boat on the sea, and all the crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them much in parables and said to them in his teaching, 3 "Listen. Behold(,) the sower came to sow. 4 And it happened that in the sowing (that some) indeed fell beside the road, and birds came and devoured it. 5 And other (seed) fell on the rocks where it didn't have much earth, and immediately sprouted through not having depth of earth; 6 and when the sun rose it was scorched and through not having root it was withered. 7 And other (seed) fell in thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, and it did not give fruit. 8 And other (seed) fell on good earth and gave a fruit(,) springing up and increasing(,) and it bore thirty (for) one and sixty (for) one and a hundred (for) one." 9 And he said, "He who has ears to hear(,) let him hear."

According to Mark 4: 10-12: The Purpose of the Parables
10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him (about) the parables. 11 And he said to them, "To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those outside all is in parables, 12 so that
seeing(,) they may see and not percieve, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they turn back and it be forgiven them."

According to Mark 4: 13-20: The Parable of the Sower Explained 13 And he says to them, "Don't you understand this parable, and how you will know all parables? 14 The sower sows the word, 15 and these are those beside the road; where the word is sowed and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes the word that was sowed in them. 16 And these are those sowed on the rocks, those who(,) when they hear the word(,) recieve it with joy, 17 and they do not have root in themselves(,) rather they are not lasting, and then when trouble or persecution comes they are immediately caused to sin because of the word. 18 And others are those which were sowed in the thorns; these are those who hear the word, 19 and the cares of the age and the love of wealth and the desires of the rest come in (and) choke the word and there is no fruit. 20 And those are those being sown on the good land, which hear the word and welcome (it) and bear fruit( thirty (for) one and sixty (for) one and a hundred (for) one."

According to Mark 4: 21-25: A Light Under a Bushel
21 And he said to them, "Does the light come so that it may be stood under a bucket or under a bed? Don't you put it on a lampstand? 22 For it is not hidden except so that it may shine, nor was it secret(,) rather it will come to shine. 23 If anyone has ears to hear(,) let him hear."
24 And he said to them, "See what you hear. In the measure that you measure it it will be measured to you and it will be added to you. 25 For he who has, it will be given to him; and he who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."

26 And he said, "So is the kingdom of God like a man who casts a seed on the ground 27 and he sleeps and wakes up at night and morning, and the seed (has) sprouted and grown as he doesn't understand. 28 By itself the land beard fruit, first grass(,) then grain(,) then a fullness (of) grain in the head(s of grain). 29 But when the crop is ripe* immediately he sends the sickle, because the harvest is there."

35 And he says to them in that day when evening came, "Let us cross to the other side. 36 And leaving the crowd they take him as he was in the boat, and another boat was with it. 37 And there was a great storm of wind and the waves beat against the boat, so that now the boat was full. 38 And he was in the stern on a pillow sleeping. And they wake him and say to him, "Teacher, doesn't it concern you that we are being destroyed?" 39 And awakening he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Be calm, be silent," and the wind ceased and a great calm was born. 40 And he said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you not yet have faith?" 41 And they feared (with) a great fear and said to each other, "Who is this that even the wind and the sea obeys him?"

According to Mark 5: 1-20: The Healing of the Gerasene Demoniac
1 And they went to the other side of the sea to the region of the Gerasenes. 2 And when he got out of the boat immediately a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs to meet him, 3 who had a dwelling in the tombs, and nobody could bind him any longer with a chain 4 and because of it many times (he) was bound with shackles and chains, and no one was able to subdue him 5 and through each night and day he was in the tombs and in the hills crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And seeing Jesus from a distance he ran and begged him 7 and crying out in a great voice says, "What (will be) to me and to you, Jesus son of the most high God? (I beg) you in the name of God, do not torture me." 8 For he said to him, "Leave, unclean spirit, this man." 9 And he asked him, "What (is) your name?" And he says to him, "Legion (is) my name, because we are many." And he begs him much lest he send them outside the region.
11 But near the hill there was a great herd of pigs feeding; and he begged him saying, "Send us into the pigs feeding, so that we may go out of them." 13 And he send them. And exiting the unclean spirits went into the pigs, and the herd rushed from the bank into the sea, like two thousand, and were drowned in the sea. 14 And those feeding them fled and told the news in the city and in the fields; and those (there) came to see what it was 15 and they came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting dressed and in his right mind, he who had had the Legion, and they were afraid. 16 And those who saw told them how it happened to the demoniac and about the pigs. 17 And they began to beg him to go away from their hills. 18 And when he gets into the boat the demoniac begs him that he might be with him. 19 And he did not allow it, but rather says to him, "Go into your house near your (towns) and tell them how much the lord has done for you and had mercy on you." 20 And he went away and began to preach in the Decapolis (about) how much Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed.

According to Mark 5: 21-43: Jairus' Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus' Garment
21 And when Jesus was crossing over [in the boat] to the other side again(,) a great crowd was gathered around him, and he was beside the sea. 22 and one of the rulers of the synagogue, by the name of Jairus, came, and seeing him he fell before his feet 23 and begged him(,) saying many (times), "My daughter is dying, unless you come (and) lay your hands on her so that she may be saved and live." 24 And he went away with him.
And a great crowd followed him and pressed on him. 25 And a woman who had been hemorrhaging* twelve years 26 and suffered much from many physicians and spent all her money and nothing helped her(,) rather she grew even worse, 27 hearing about Jesus, she went into the crowd (and) touched his garment from behind; 28 for she said that 'If I touch even his garment I will be saved,' 29 and immediately her hemorrhage dried up and she knew her body was healed from the illness. 30 And immediately Jesus(,) perceiving in himself that power had come from him(,) turned to the crowd (and) said, "Who touched my garment?" 31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you and you say, 'Who touched me?' " 32 And he looked around to see who had done this. 33 But the woman was afraid and trembled, seeing that he had perceived her, she came and fell before him and told him all the truth. 34 But he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace and be cured from your illness."
35 While he was still speaking (some people) came for the ruler of the synagogue saying that 'Your daughter has died; why are you still annoying the teacher?" 36 But Jesus paid no attention to* the word spoken (and) says to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, just believe." 37 And he did not let anyone accompany him except Peter and James and John brother of James. 38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and he sees confusion and (people) weeping and wailing much, 39 and entering he says to them, "Why are you causing confusion and weeping?" The child did not die but is sleeping." 40 And they laughed at him, but he threw everyone out (and) took the father of the child and the mother and those with him and went to where the child was 41 and taking the child's hand he says to her, "Talitha koum," which is translated, "Girl, I tell you, get up." 42 And immediately the girl got up and walked; for she was twelve years (old), and they were amazed [immediately] with great astonishment. 43 And he ordered them much lest anyone know this, and he said to give her (something) to eat.
*This word could also be translated 'overheard'

According to Mark 6: 1-6a: The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth
1 And he went out then and came to his hometown, and all his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearers were amazed saying, "From where (comes) this to this (one), and what (is) the wisdom given to this (one), and such miracles (that) are through his hands? 3 Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Jude and Simon? And arent his sisters here with us?" And they rejected him. 4 And Jesus said to them that 'A prophet is not despised except in his hometown and among his kinsmen and in his house.' 5 And he couldn't do any miracle there, except (that) he healed a few sick (people by) laying on hands. 6 And he was amazed at their unfaith.

12 And going away they preached so that they may repent, 13 and they threw out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil(,) and they healed them.
