"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

All the people were so stunned that they kept saying to each other, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He tells even the unclean spirits what to do, and they obey him!"

He told the man, "Be sure that you don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."

At once, Jesus knew in his spirit what they were saying to themselves. "Why are you arguing about such things among yourselves?" he asked them.

The Pharisees asked him, "Look! Why are they doing what is not lawful on Sabbath days?"

He asked them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

But others fell on good soil and produced a crop. They grew up, increased in size, and produced 30, 60, or 100 times what was sown."

Others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, accept it, and produce crops 30, 60, or 100 times what was sown."

He went on to say to them, "Pay attention to what you're hearing! You will be evaluated by the same standard with which you do your evaluating, and still more will be given to you,

because whoever has something, will have more given to him. But whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."

He was also saying, "How can we show what the kingdom of God is like, or what parable can we use to describe it?

screaming in a loud voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you in the name of God never to torment me!"

Then Jesus asked him, "What's your name?"

Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs ran away, they reported what had happened in the city and countryside. So the people went to see what had happened.

The people who had seen it told them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs.

So the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward fearfully, fell down trembling in front of him, and told him the whole truth.

But when Jesus heard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just keep on believing."

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were utterly amazed. "Where did this man get all these things?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What great miracles are being done by his hands!

because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that John was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him. Whenever he listened to John, he did much of what he said. In fact, he liked listening to him.

So she went out and asked her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother replied, "The head of John the Baptist."

Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It's what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean.

Then he continued, "It's what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean,

What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?

Indeed, what can a person give in exchange for his life?

On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

They kept the matter to themselves but argued about what "rising from the dead" meant.

He asked the scribes, "What are you arguing about with them?"

They didn't understand what this statement meant, and they were afraid to ask him.

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

"What did Moses command you?" he responded.

Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate."

As Jesus was setting out again, a man ran up to him, knelt down in front of him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Once again, Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they'll condemn him to death. Then they'll hand him over to the unbelievers,

He asked them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

But Jesus told them, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized?"

Then Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man told him, "Rabbouni, I want to see again."

some men standing there asked them, "What are you doing untying that colt?"

The disciples told them what Jesus had said, and the men let them go.

Remembering what Jesus had said, Peter pointed out to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has dried up!"

I tell all of you with certainty, if anyone says to this mountain, "Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' if he doesn't doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

and asked him, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority to do them?"

Jesus told them, "I'll ask you one question. Answer me, and then I'll tell you by what authority I'm doing these things.

So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then Jesus told them, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things."

"Now what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, execute the farmers, and give the vineyard to others.

Then they sent some Pharisees and some Herodians to him, intending to trap him in what he said.

As Jesus was leaving the Temple, one of his disciples told him, "Look, Teacher, what large stones and what beautiful buildings!"

"Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign when these things will be put into effect?"

When they take you away and hand you over for trial, don't worry ahead of time about what you will say. Instead, say whatever is given to you at that time, because it won't be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

I'm telling you what I'm telling everyone: Be alert!"

She has done what she could. She poured perfume on my body in preparation for my burial.

I tell all of you with certainty, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

He kept repeating, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

Again he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?"

"You have heard his blasphemy! What is your verdict?" All of them condemned him as deserving death.

But he denied it, saying, "I don't know or even understand what you're talking about!" Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.

So the crowd came and began to request that Pilate do for them what he always did.

So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call "the King of the Jews'?"

"Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice to see what each one would get.
