“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’

Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.

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

“The Lord needs it,” they answered.

But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

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

“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

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.”

And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

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

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!”

But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

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.

But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

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

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

Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

“Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,

Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

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

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
