They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

“Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?”

And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”

And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

When His own people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He has lost His senses.”

“Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow;

And He *said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?”

Sighing deeply in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

And Jesus, aware of this, *said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

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 He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.

And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”

But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

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

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother,

In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.

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.

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.”

Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.

But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.”

The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.

and began saying to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?”

But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’

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

This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

They brought one. And He *said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?

The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;

Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted?

For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

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.

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

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.”

“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”

But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”

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!”

And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
