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

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.

While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

…and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’

So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.

People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.

The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

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

At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

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.

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.

When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”

Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

In order to accuse Jesus, they were watching to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.

For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”

Jesus made this statement because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

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.

Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

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.

Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). And at once they were utterly astounded.

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

They all ate and were satisfied,

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

He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

…for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

…and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

And about four thousand men were present. And when Jesus had dismissed the crowd,

For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.

Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”

As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:

Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.

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

The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

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.

When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.

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

In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

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

Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.

They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

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

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

Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

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

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.

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.

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.

They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”

When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.

Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

…just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.

But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.

On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.

Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.

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