Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, those possessed fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

Then He went up the mountain and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him.

When He was alone with the Twelve, those who were around Him asked Him about the parables.

He answered them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables

But the ones sown on good ground are those who hear the word, welcome it, and produce a crop: 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.”

They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.

Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”

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.

Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and their men of high positions exercise power over them.

and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the donkey?”

Then those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting:

Hosanna!
He who comes in the name
of the Lord is the blessed One!

They came to Jerusalem, and He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves,

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

Summoning His disciples, He said to them, “I assure you: This poor widow has put in more than all those giving to the temple treasury.
