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

“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

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

But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

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!”

But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

“Teacher,” they said, “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.

Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

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

As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,

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.

“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

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

Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

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

A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,

So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

…and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

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.”

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

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

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

…but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”

“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”

So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).

“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.

When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”

Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”

When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”

“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so,

…and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”

To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.

“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”

“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

…so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

“Have the people sit down,” Jesus said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

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

Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.

Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.

Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

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

…and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

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.

When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
