Then they went into Capernaum, and right away He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.

Right away Jesus understood in His spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

He said to them, “Have you never read what David and those who were with him did when he was in need and hungry—

Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn’t have much soil, and it sprang up right away, since it didn’t have deep soil.

When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it didn’t have a root, it withered.

But they have no root in themselves; they are short-lived. When pressure or persecution comes because of the word, they immediately stumble.

They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed by the legion, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

He instructed them to take nothing for the road except a walking stick: no bread, no traveling bag, no money in their belts.

Immediately she hurried to the king and said, “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s head on a platter—right now!”

He said to her, “Allow the children to be satisfied first, because it isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers and send her away.”

But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.

They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.

They answered Him, “Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory.”

But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to give; instead, it is for those it has been prepared for.”

They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

“Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”

Many people spread their robes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.

Haven’t you read this Scripture:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaves his wife behind, and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.

Now concerning the dead being raised—haven’t you read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?

Then the scribe said to Him, “You are right, Teacher! You have correctly said that He is One, and there is no one else except Him.

David himself says by the Holy Spirit:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
until I put Your enemies under Your feet.’

So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi!”—and kissed Him.

Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police, warming himself by the fire.

“I am,” said Jesus, “and all of you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying Him homage.

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

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!”

When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; they were amazed and alarmed.

Then after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
