They

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

“Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”

When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”

What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’

So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”

When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.

He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.

Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.

They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,

…the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

So if they tell you, ‘There He is, in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Here He is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.

And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

…and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

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

When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?

…and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.

And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

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

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward

What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.

Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him

After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”

They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

…and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

…they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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

After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

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

“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.

So they hurried away from the tomb in fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples.
