On

Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.

On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

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

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!”

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

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

…saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

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

…and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.

They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.

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

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

“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.

There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.

For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.

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

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

…so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,

On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.

On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”

Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.

Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”

If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.

He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.

Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.

“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.

So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,

If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.

…for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.

Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:

“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”

There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His outer garments, He reclined with them again and asked, “Do you know what I have done for you?

If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
