There

When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

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

And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”

“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

…and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.

But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”

…they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.

While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.

Once again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man with a withered hand was there.

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

After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.

Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.

Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.

Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

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

…and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.

When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, as well as famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

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

“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

…and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

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

There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

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!”

And there were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with 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.’”

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron.

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

He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.

And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.

And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:

Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,

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.

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

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.

On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

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.”

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

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

There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

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

(There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

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

Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’

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 went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

…and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.

Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.

And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
