As

As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:

So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples

…and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

…and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.

As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

…and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

So be on your guard. You will be delivered over to the councils and beaten in the synagogues. On My account you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.

The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.

Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

…just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

…as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”

…as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.

…(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),

“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.

…so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

…as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

Jesus Himself was about thirty years old when He began His ministry. He was regarded as the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,

But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

…as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

…because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

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

“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
