But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,

But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’

I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.

Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”

But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

…and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”

But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

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.

Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.

Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

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

But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

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.”

But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

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

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

…but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

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

…but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

…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.

Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

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

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

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

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

…children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”

“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.

I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

…and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

…and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”

But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.

But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

…(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),

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.”

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is 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?”
