Reach a settlement quickly with your adversary while you’re on the way with him, or your adversary will hand you over to the judge, the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison.

And if you greet only your relatives, that's no great thing you're doing, is it? Even the unbelievers do the same, don't they?

So the disciples came and woke Him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”

if you’re willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come.

"To what can I compare the people living today? They're like little children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to each other,

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Then Peter told Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

And Jesus having answered, said to them, Elias truly comes first and will re-establish all things.

But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”

“We are able,” they said to Him.

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought John was a prophet.”

“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.

But he denied it in front of everyone: “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

After a little while, the people who were standing there came up and told Peter, "Obviously you're also one of them, because your accent gives you away."

Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear how many charges they're bringing against you?"

And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.

and saying, "You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days save yourself! If you're the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

Responding to the women, the angel said, "Stop being frightened! I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

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,

But He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him up and said to Him, “Teacher! Don’t You care that we’re going to die?”

When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,

When the Apostles had re-assembled round Jesus, they reported to Him all they had done and all they had taught.

But turning around and looking at His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s!”

Then Peter told Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"Elijah does indeed come first," answered Jesus, "and re-establish everything; and does not Scripture speak, with regard to the Son of Man, of his undergoing much suffering and being utterly despised?

and the two will become one flesh.' So they're no longer two, but one flesh.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, "You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

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,

But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup I drink or to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”

But he denied it: “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the entryway, and a rooster crowed.

But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean!”

Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about!”

So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"

They placed a purple robe on Him [Note: Matt. 27:28 calls this a "scarlet" robe. In that day, any color with a mixture of "red" in it was often called "purple"], and making a wreath out of thorns, they placed it on His head.

Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, -

the'son of Serug, the'son of Reu, the'son of Peleg, the'son of Eber, the'son of Shelah,

And to every one asking thee, do thou give; and from him taking away thy things, re-demand not.

They're like little children who sit in the marketplace and shout to each other, "A wedding song we played for you, the dance you all did scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too, but then you would not mourn.'

They came and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to die!” Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. So they ceased, and there was a calm.

And the evil spirits begged Jesus not to require them to go away into the "pit" [Note: This appears to be the place reserved for the devil and his evil spirits. See Rev. 9:1-11; 20:1-3].

Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter told Jesus, "Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)

"We're wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!'

Nevertheless, do not rejoice over the [evil] spirits submitting to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven [i.e., in the book of life. See Rev. 3:5; Heb. 12:23]."

If then you’re not able to do even a little thing, why worry about the rest?

once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door. Then you will stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up for us!’ He will answer you, ‘I don’t know you or where you’re from.’

But He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you’re from. Get away from Me, all you workers of unrighteousness!’

Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. Everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled,

because I was afraid of you, for you’re a tough man: you collect what you didn’t deposit and reap what you didn’t sow.’

so they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you're right in what you say and teach, and that you don't favor any individual, but teach the way of God truthfully.

And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great splendor [Note: This no doubt refers to the second coming of Christ. See II Pet. 3:9-10; Matt. 24:30-31; Rev. 1:7].

After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too!”

“Man, I am not!” Peter said.

But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Jesus kept saying, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

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

Then Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise [Note: This is a place in God's presence, referred to as "the third heaven" (II Cor. 12:2-4), and where overcomers will be able to eat from "the tree of life" (Rev. 2:7)]."

Then He asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.

The Jewish leaders said, "This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"

Jesus answered him, "You're the teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this?

Truly, I tell you emphatically, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony.

You're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it, along with his sons and his flocks, are you?"

You don't know what you're worshiping. We Jews know what we're worshiping, because salvation comes from the Jews.

So his brothers told him, "You should leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples can see the actions that you're doing,

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

The crowd answered, "You're possessed by a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"

Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?

But this mob that does not know the Law they're under a curse!"

The Pharisees told him, "You're testifying about yourself. Your testimony isn't valid."

You're judging by human standards, but I'm not judging anyone.

I declare what I've seen in my Father's presence, and you're doing what you've heard from your father."

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

You’re doing what your father does.”

“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

The Jews responded to Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You’re a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Then the Judeans responded, "Now we know you're possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, 'If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.'

They ridiculed him: “You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’ disciples.

Soon after this the Festival of the Re-dedication was held at Jerusalem.

So the Jewish leaders surrounded him and quizzed him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you're the Messiah, tell us so plainly."

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

“Rabbi,” the disciples told Him, “just now the Jews tried to stone You, and You’re going there again?”

You’re not considering that it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish.”

After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

“Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where You’re going. How can we know the way?”

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”

The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The words that you're hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.

“Ah!” His disciples said. “Now You’re speaking plainly and not using any figurative language.

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

Then He asked them again, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.

“I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”

The girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "You're not one of this man's disciples too, are you?" He replied, "I am not."

Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?"

More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.

So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”

From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

So, when the Apostles had met together, they asked Jesus this question--"Master, is this the time when you intend to re-establish the Kingdom for Israel?"

But some sneered and said, “They’re full of new wine!”

The sun shall become darkness, and the moon blood-red, Before the Day of the Lord comes--that great and awful day.

"It was this very Jesus whom God raised and we're all witnesses of that.

He said to them, “Men of Israel, be careful about what you’re going to do to these men.

He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
