Now listen! You will become silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

When he did come out, he could not speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained speechless.

He has done a mighty deed with His arm;
He has scattered the proud
because of the thoughts of their hearts;

Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.

and was a widow for 84 years. She did not leave the temple complex, serving God night and day with fasting and prayers.

After those days were over, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but His parents did not know it.

When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.

But they did not understand what He said to them.

He began by saying to them, “Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.”

When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear.

Then everyone was astounded, and they were giving glory to God. And they were filled with awe and said, “We have seen incredible things today!”

Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry—

After looking around at them all, He told him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored.

Just as He neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was also with her.

The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

He replied to them, “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

After John’s messengers left, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft robes? Look, those who are splendidly dressed and live in luxury are in royal palaces.

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

For John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

When He got out on land, a demon-possessed man from the town met Him. For a long time he had worn no clothes and did not stay in a house but in the tombs.

“Someone did touch Me,” said Jesus. “I know that power has gone out from Me.”

While He was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother the Teacher anymore.”

Everyone was crying and mourning for her. But He said, “Stop crying, for she is not dead but asleep.”

They started laughing at Him, because they knew she was dead.

Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was going on. He was perplexed, because some said that John had been raised from the dead,

They did so, and had them all sit down.

But they did not understand this statement; it was concealed from them so that they could not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

But they did not welcome Him, because He determined to journey to Jerusalem.

But He told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”

Jesus took up the question and said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead.

When the Pharisee saw this, he was amazed that He did not first perform the ritual washing before dinner.

If that’s how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you—you of little faith?

But the one who did not know and did things deserving of blows will be beaten lightly. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.

He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look! I’m driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete My work.’

Yet I must travel today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem!

because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

“‘No, father Abraham,’ he said. ‘But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

“But he told him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”

Does he thank that slave because he did what was commanded?

They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today I must stay at your house.”

“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.

But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.’”

They will crush you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone on another in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

So they answered that they did not know its origin.

But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

He is not God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to Him.”

“I tell you, Peter,” He said, “the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know Me!”

He also said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they said.

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

So he kept asking Him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.

We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

And He said to him, “I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.”

They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.

“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.

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

He also said to them, “This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,
