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

Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.

When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.

“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.

At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

“Teacher, 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.

In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

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

Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

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.

It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.

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,

He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?

Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.

They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.

They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

After they had mocked Him, they removed the purple robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.

Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and the soldiers forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

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!”

Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.

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.’”

And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.

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.

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

After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

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.

For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.

His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.

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

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

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

On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.

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.

Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

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

Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

“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,

…to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,

…to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

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

And everyone went to his own town to register.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”

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

And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:

Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,

Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.

When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.

And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.

And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.

When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”

Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

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

For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

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,

All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.

Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

…and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

…but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

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