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

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

I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:

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!’

“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.

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

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

He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

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.

When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

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

Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

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

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

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

When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’

Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

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.

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.

After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.

And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

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

They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

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.

He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

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

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.’

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

Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

…and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.

“Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

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

And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

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.”

So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

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

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

And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

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

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

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.

And he went outside and wept bitterly.

So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

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.”

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.”

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

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.

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

Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
