That

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

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.

Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

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

And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

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

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.

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

Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.

So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.

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

Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

…so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

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

Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.

…deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

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,

…so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”

Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

…and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

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.

Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”

But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.

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.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

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.

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.

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!”

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

At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

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

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

As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

…others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

…others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.

They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.

And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’

I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

So too, when a Levite came to that spot and saw him, he passed by on the other side.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

…but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
