As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,
Who will prepare Your way;

And he was preaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”

And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

He *said to them, “Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for.”

And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He *said to the paralytic,

As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

Answering them, He *said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”

Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He *said, “Behold My mother and My brothers!

For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

so that while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven.”

and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”

And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

The demons implored Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.”

and *implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”

And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”

And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom.”

Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.

‘But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’

After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:

“I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.

But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”

And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!”

And one of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;

And He *answered them and *said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!”

Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.”

“Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”

But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.”

Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,

And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

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

But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!”

He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening.

And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a robbers’ den.”

And Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me.”

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

Shall we pay or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.”

David himself said in the Holy Spirit,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet.”’

Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many.

“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.

You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

But pray that it may not happen in the winter.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.

and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

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.”

And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

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 He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away, yet I will not.”

And Jesus *said to him, “Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”

And He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”

And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures.”

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he began to weep.

Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
