He

When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

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

Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

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

And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

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

Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping.

So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

…and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with 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, and they all drank from it.

He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

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

Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

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

…but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

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

And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

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

And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a reed and held it up for Jesus to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.

Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

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.’”

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.’”

Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.

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.

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

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

…he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.

He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,

…for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

…for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

…for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.

And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.

“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,

…and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”

For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.

He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.

He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,

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

But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”

So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.

Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,

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

…the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us

And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.

So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.

He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.

Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!

When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
