He kept preaching the following message, "After me there is coming One who is stronger than I am, whose shoes I am not fit to stoop down and untie.

Now after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God:

He at once called them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and went after Him.

After some days He came back to Capernaum, and it was reported that He was at home,

But He charged them time after time not to tell who He was.

But no one can get into a giant's house and carry off his goods, unless he first binds the giant; after that he can make a clean sweep of his house.

After He had told them "Goodbye," He went up the hill to pray.

Then He instructed them for the first time that the Son of Man had to endure great suffering and be disowned by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and be killed but rise again after three days.

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with Him, and led them up on a high mountain, alone by themselves. And in their presence His appearance was changed,

for He was now teaching His disciples, and saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be turned over into men's hands, and they will kill Him, but three days after that He will rise again."

and they will make sport of Him, and spit on Him, and flog Him, and kill Him, but three days after He will rise again."

And so He went into Jerusalem and into the temple. After He had looked everything over, as it was already late, He went out with the Twelve to Bethany.

"But in those days, after that misery, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not shed its light,

It will be like a man who leaves his home and goes on a journey, after he has given orders to his slaves, to each his particular task, and has given orders to the watchman to keep watch.

After singing a hymn they went out of the city and up the Mount of Olives.

But after I am raised from the dead, I will go back to Galilee to meet you."

Day after day I used to be with you teaching in the temple, and you never laid hands on me. But this is so to fulfill the Scriptures."

As soon as it was daylight, the high priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes; and the whole council, after binding Jesus, took Him away and turned Him over to Pilate.

So, as Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, he set Barabbas free for them, but after having Jesus flogged, he turned Him over to be crucified.

It was very early, just after the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, when they went to the tomb.

Now after He had risen, early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom He had driven seven demons.

After this He showed Himself in a different form to two of them as they were walking along, on their way into the country.

Later on He appeared to the Eleven themselves while they were at table, and reproved them for their lack of faith and their stubbornness, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had been raised from the dead.

So the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was caught up into heaven and took His seat at God's right hand.
