And they discussed among themselves, saying, "It is because we have taken no bread."

Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.

And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."

But I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands."

And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,

And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."

Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day." And they were greatly distressed.

When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?"

Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and went and told their master all that had happened.

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"

When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.

They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'

And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

So when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death,

But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

And when the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

And behold, two blind men sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be quiet; but they cried out all the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

They said to him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened."

And Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant;

and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise'?"

And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither away so soon?"

The baptism of Johnwhere was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them.

Last of all, he sent his son to them saying, 'They will respect my son,'

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.

But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.

and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; but they were not willing to come.

But they made light of it and went off, one to his own farm, another to his business.

And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.

And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and you care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men.

Show me the money for the tax." And they brought him a denarius.

They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away.

Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her."

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

"What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David."

So you must observe and do whatever they tell you. But do not do what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.

They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

But they do all their works to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and the tassels of their garments long.

And they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues,

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which outwardly appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

So if they say to you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them;

While the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?'

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

and they plotted to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people."

But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?

and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."

Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists; and others slapped him,

And they bound him, and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.

saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"

But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are the money of blood."

So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"
