And when they did not find Him, they turned back to Jerusalem, seeking Him.

And He said to them, Why did you look for Me? Do you not know that I must be about My Father's business?

And they did not understand the word which He spoke to them.

And He began to say to them, Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

And also demons came out of many, crying out and saying, You are the Christ, the Son of God! And rebuking them, He did not allow them to speak; for they knew Him to be the Christ.

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, We saw wonderful things today.

I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.

And answering, Jesus said to them, Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

And looking around on them all, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he did so. And his hand was restored whole like the other.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. For behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For so their fathers did according to these things to the prophets.

Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you! For so their fathers did to the false prophets.

Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come to You; but say a word, and my servant will be healed.

And the one who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother.

And answering, Jesus said to them, Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is proclaimed to the poor.

And when the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the people concerning John. What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed with soft clothing? Behold, those in splendid clothing and being in luxury are in kings' palaces.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

And they did so, and made them all recline.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But as all were marveling at all things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

But they did not understand this, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it. And they feared to ask Him of this word.

And they did not receive Him, because His face was going toward Jerusalem.

And seeing, His disciples James and John said, Lord, do You desire that we command fire to come down from Heaven and consume them, even as Elijah did?

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.

And answering, Jesus said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

And he said, The one doing the deed of mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.

Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?

And He said to them, You go and tell that fox, Behold, today and tomorrow, I cast out demons and I complete cures, and the third day I will be finished.

Yet I must walk today and tomorrow and the day following. For it cannot be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.

for this my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

And answering he said to his father, Lo, these many years I have served you, neither did I transgress your commandment at any time. And yet you never gave me a kid so that I might make merry with my friends.

It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

And he said, No, father Abraham, but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.

And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

And they did not understand any of these things. And this saying was hidden from them, nor did they know the things which were spoken.

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him. And He said to him, Zaccheus! Hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.

For I feared you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.

And he said to him, I will judge you out of your own mouth, wicked servant! You knew that I was a harsh man, taking up what I had not laid down and reaping what I did not sow.

And why did you not give my silver on the bank table, and coming I might have exacted it with interest?

But those who are my enemies, who did not desire that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

And they will tear you down, and your children within you, and will not leave a stone on a stone because you did not know the time of your visitation.

but they who shall be counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage.

But that the dead are raised, even Moses pointed out at the Bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

And He said to them, When I sent you without purse and wallet and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

When I was with you in the temple daily, you did not stretch out your hand on Me. But this is your hour, and the authority of the darkness.

And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise.

And their words seemed to them like foolishness, and they did not believe them.

And He said to them, What things? And they said to Him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a man, a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

But we had trusted that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel. And besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

and when they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive.

And some of those with us went to the tomb and found it even as the women had said. But they did not see Him.

And they said to one another, Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us by the way and while He opened the Scriptures to us?
