Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.

But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

…and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

…but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

But they were startled and frightened, thinking they had seen a spirit.

Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish,

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.

John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”

This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”

“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”

Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”

“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.

So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.

Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.”

“Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?”

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

…got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.

A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew agitated.

On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
