All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead.

They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

They asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”

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

Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.

and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it.”

They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

From there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it.

For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.”

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

They came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.

They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

They were even more astonished and said to Him, “Then who can be saved?”

They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.

They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”

They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.”

They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

Then they *came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.”

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

They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they *untied it.

They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.

They *brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it.

And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry.

Then they *came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves;

The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

When evening came, they would go out of the city.

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

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

They *came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders *came to Him,

They began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’

But shall we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.

Answering Jesus, they *said, “We do not know.” And Jesus *said to them, “Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

They took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.

He had one more to send, a beloved son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the people, for they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away.

Then they *sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.

They *came and *said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

They brought one. And He *said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

And Jesus said to them, “Render 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 again, which one’s wife will she be? For all 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.

for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”

“But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.

When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

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

for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people.”

For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.”

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

While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

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

But Peter kept saying insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

They *came to a place named Gethsemane; and He *said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.”

And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

They laid hands on Him and seized Him.

And they all left Him and fled.

A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they *seized him.

They led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes *gathered together.

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.

You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!”

Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

They shouted back, “Crucify Him!”

But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!”

The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman cohort.

They *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;

and they began to acclaim Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.

After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.

They *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.

Then they *brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

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

And they *crucified Him, and *divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

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

When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.”

When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

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

Very early on the first day of the week, they *came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

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

Looking up, they *saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large.

Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed.

And he *said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

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