At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

So if they tell you, ‘There He is, in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

So if they tell you, ‘There He is, in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’

To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.

To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.

The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’

For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

…a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.

He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

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.”

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.”

Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.

What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”

At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

…they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

…and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

…and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”

And he proclaimed: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.

…and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.

…and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.

“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.

The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”

All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.

And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.

A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,
