And He *said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

They *came to Jesus and *observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the “legion”; and they became frightened.

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

But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

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,

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.”

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 said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

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

Have you not even read this Scripture:
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and leaves no child, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.

But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

The scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is One, and there is no one else besides Him;

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.”’

Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

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

Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

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

The inscription of the charge against Him read, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

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

Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.”

When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

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

So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
