He has done a deed of might with his arm, he has scattered the proud with their purposes,

After spending the full number of days they came back, but the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know of this;

"Why did you look for me?" he said, "Did you not know I had to be at my Father's house?"

But they did not understand what he said.

Then he went down along with them to Nazaret, and did as they told him. His mother treasured up everything in her heart.

So he said to them, "No doubt you will repeat to me this proverb, 'Doctor, cure yourself!' 'Do here in your own country all we have heard you did in Capharnahum.'"

But Jesus checked it, saying, "Be quiet, come out of him." And after throwing him down before them the daemon did come out of him without doing him any harm.

and so I did not consider myself fit even to come to you. Just say the word, and let my servant be cured.

Just as he was near the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out; he was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the town were with her.

So he replied, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached.

When John's messengers had gone, he proceeded to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind?

Come, what did you go out to see? A man arrayed in soft robes? Those who are gorgeously dressed and luxurious live in royal palaces.

Come, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.

Jesus said, "Somebody did touch me, for I felt power had passed from me."

He was still speaking when someone came from the house of the synagogue-president to say, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any further."

Everyone was weeping and bewailing her, but he said, "Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep."

They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

When Herod the tetrarch heard all that was going on, he was quite at a loss; for some said that John had risen from the dead,

They did so, and made them all lie down.

Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; you go and spread the news of the Reign of God."

Jesus rejoined, "A man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho fell among robbers who stripped and belaboured him and then went off leaving him half-dead.

So did a Levite who came to the spot; he looked at him but passed on the opposite side.

The men of Ninive will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for when Jonah preached they did repent, and here is One greater than Jonah.

Foolish men! did not He who made the outside make the inside of things too?

thus you testify and consent to what your fathers did, for they killed and you build.

The servant who knew his lord and master's orders and did not prepare for them, will receive many lashes;

whereas he who was ignorant and did what deserves a beating, will receive few lashes. He who has much given him will have much required from him, and he who has much entrusted to him will have all the more demanded of him.

I tell you, no; unless you repent you will all perish as they did.

I tell you, no; unless you repent you will all perish as they did."

for my son here was dead and he has come to life, he was lost and he is found.' So they began to make merry.

We could not but make merry and rejoice, for your brother here was dead and has come to life again, he was lost but he has been found.' "

'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone only goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'

He said to him, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced, not even if one rose from the dead."

However, they did not understand a word of this; indeed the saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what he meant.

He replied, 'You rascal of a servant, I will convict you by what you have said yourself. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man, picking up what I never put down, and reaping what I never sowed!

Why then did you not put my money into the bank, so that I could have got it with interest when I came back?'

Day after day he taught within the temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, and so did the leaders of the people,

did the baptism of John come from heaven or from men?"

Now they reasoned to themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why did you not believe him?'

but those who are considered worthy to attain yonder world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are married,

And that the dead are raised has been indicated by Moses in the passage on the Bush, when he calls the Lord 'God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.'

God is not a God of dead people but of living, for all live to him."

And he said to them, "When I sent you out with neither purse nor wallet nor sandals, did you want for anything?" "No," they said, "for nothing."

And one of them did strike the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

They were terrified and bent their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look among the dead for him who is alive?

Peter did get up and run to the tomb, but when he looked in he saw nothing except the linen bandages; so he went away home wondering what had happened.

Our own hope was that he would be the redeemer of Israel; but he is dead, and that is three days ago!

Some of our company did go to the tomb and found things exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him."

And they said to one another, "Did not our hearts glow within us when he was talking to us on the road, opening up the scriptures for us?"

"Thus," he said, "it is written that the Christ has to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
