And the unclean spirit convulsed him, shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.

And He said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too. This is why I have come.”

For nothing is concealed except to be revealed, and nothing hidden except to come to light.

On that day, when evening had come, He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.”

And he cried out with a loud voice, “What do You have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God, don’t torment me!”

But He would not let him; instead, He told him, “Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”

He did not let anyone accompany Him except Peter, James, and John, James’s brother.

So He was not able to do any miracles there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

When it was already late, His disciples approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness, and it is already late!

Wherever He would go, into villages, towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him that they might touch just the tassel of His robe. And everyone who touched it was made well.

“you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transformed in front of them,

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—

When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me. Don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

After taking them in His arms, He laid His hands on them and blessed them.

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

And He went into Jerusalem and into the temple complex. After looking around at everything, since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

“But those tenant farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’

“When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it should not” (let the reader understand), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and will perform signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

“But in those days, after that tribulation:

The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not shed its light;

Get up; let’s go! See—My betrayer is near.”

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

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 the soldiers led Him away into the courtyard (that is, headquarters) and called the whole company together.

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

Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.

And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink, and said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down!”

But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.
