And now, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, you will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place."

But when the feast was over, as they were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.

But he replied, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?"

Yet his parents did not understand the remark he made to them.

Jesus said to them, "No doubt you will quote to me the proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself!' and say, 'What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, do here in your hometown too.'"

Jesus answered them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry --

After looking around at them all, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." The man did so, and his hand was restored.

Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.

"Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.

That is why I did not presume to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed.

When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxury are in kings' courts!

What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, 'We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance; we wailed in mourning, yet you did not weep.'

You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfumed oil.

Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.

So they did as Jesus directed, and the people all sat down.

But they did not understand this statement; its meaning had been concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it. Yet they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

The Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before the meal.

You fools! Didn't the one who made the outside make the inside as well?

Woe to you experts in religious law! You have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were going in."

That servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or do what his master asked will receive a severe beating.

But the one who did not know his master's will and did things worthy of punishment will receive a light beating. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.

He won't thank the slave because he did what he was told, will he?

But the twelve understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what Jesus meant.

For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.'

The king said to him, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! So you knew, did you, that I was a severe man, withdrawing what I didn't deposit and reaping what I didn't sow?

Why then didn't you put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?'

But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and slaughter them in front of me!'"

They will demolish you -- you and your children within your walls -- and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God."

So they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

So they replied that they did not know where it came from.

For they did not dare any longer to ask him anything.

Then Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler's bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing."

Then Jesus went out and made his way, as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not arrest me. But this is your hour, and that of the power of darkness!"

and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. When I examined him before you, I did not find this man guilty of anything you accused him of doing.

Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing deserving death.

And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong."

but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

But these words seemed like pure nonsense to them, and they did not believe them.

and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.

Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him."

They said to each other, "Didn't our hearts burn within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?"
