When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.

All of a sudden, when the whole crowd saw Him, they were amazed and ran to greet Him.

Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.”

So they brought him to Him. When the spirit saw Him, it immediately convulsed the boy. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

Then they left that place and made their way through Galilee, but He did not want anyone to know it.

For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after He is killed, He will rise three days later.”

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

Then they came to Capernaum. When He was in the house, He asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”

But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest.

Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers and send her away.”

and the two will become one flesh.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

So they were even more astonished, saying to one another, “Then who can be saved?”

They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.

“Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death. Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles,

and they will mock Him, spit on Him, flog Him, and kill Him, and He will rise after three days.”

They answered Him, “Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory.”

“We are able,” they told Him.

Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.

When the other 10 disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.

They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up; He’s calling for you.”

When they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples

So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it,

They answered them just as Jesus had said, so they let them go.

Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their robes on it, and He sat on it.

The next day when they came out from Bethany, He was hungry.

They came to Jerusalem, and He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves,

Then the chief priests and the scribes heard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.

And whenever evening came, they would go out of the city.

Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up.

They came again to Jerusalem. As He was walking in the temple complex, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came

They began to argue among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men’”—they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.

So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

Again he sent another slave to them, and they hit him on the head and treated him shamefully.

Then he sent another, and they killed that one. He also sent many others; they beat some and they killed some.

“He still had one to send, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

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

Because they knew He had said this parable against them, they were looking for a way to arrest Him, but they were afraid of the crowd. So they left Him and went away.

Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to Him to trap Him by what He said.

When they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality but teach truthfully the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

So they brought one. “Whose image and inscription is this?” He asked them.

“Caesar’s,” they said.

Then Jesus told them, “Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him.

In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?”

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.

They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive harsher punishment.”

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

Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they will deceive many.

“But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to sanhedrins, and you will be flogged in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness to them.

So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour—say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

“Not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be rioting among the people.”

For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii and given to the poor.” And they began to scold her.

And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him silver. So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, His disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare the Passover so You may eat it?”

So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me!”

They began to be distressed and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

As they were eating, He took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them, and so they all drank from it.

After singing psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

But he kept insisting, “If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!” And they all said the same thing.

Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him.

Then they took hold of Him and arrested Him.

Then they all deserted Him and ran away.

Now a certain young man, having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. They caught hold of him,

They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes convened.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they could find none.

You have heard the blasphemy! What is your decision?”

And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

As soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin. After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of!”

At the festival it was Pilate’s custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.

Again they shouted, “Crucify Him!”

Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What has He done wrong?”

But they shouted, “Crucify Him!” all the more.

They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on Him.

And they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying Him homage.

When they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the purple robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

They forced a man coming in from the country, who was passing by, to carry Jesus’ cross. He was Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus.

And they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place).

They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

Then they crucified Him and divided His clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get.

Now it was nine in the morning when they crucified Him.

They crucified two criminals with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah!”

When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him.

Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb at sunrise.

They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?”

Looking up, they observed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away.

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

“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

So they went out and started running from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid.

She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.

Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.

Later, He appeared to the Eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw Him after He had been resurrected.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;
