As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

“The Lord needs it,” they answered.

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

And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

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.”

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.”

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

“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 if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect 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.’

So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

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!”

When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

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

And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

“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.

In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

And they did not dare to question Him any further.

“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

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

“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

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.

They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

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

When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.

…and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

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

Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

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 they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”

And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

…but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

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.

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!”

And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

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

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.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

…but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

…but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

Then they remembered His words.

And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

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

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.

Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

…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.

…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.

…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 some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.
