While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

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

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

Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

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

Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

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.

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.

Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”

Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”

You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.

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

Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

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.’”

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”

The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”

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

They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”

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

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

…(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),

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,

…as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

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 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

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

“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,

…and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

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

All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

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.”

Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”

They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

“I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.

“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.

Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
