About

About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.

As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?

Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”

For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

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

Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

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

“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

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.

It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

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

They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

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

He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

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

If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”

Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

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

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.

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

Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.

When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”

Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”

I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.

So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

…then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”

They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.

They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.

As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.

Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.

I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about.

And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.

“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”

It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”

Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,

David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.
