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

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

After some time had passed, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit the brothers in every town where we have preached the message of the Lord and see how they’re doing.”

They took him and brought him to the Areopagus, and said, “May we learn about this new teaching you’re speaking of?

“You’re crazy!” they told her. But she kept insisting that it was true. Then they said, “It’s his angel!”

As he was making his defense this way, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You’re out of your mind, Paul! Too much study is driving you mad!”

For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.

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?”

“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.”

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?”

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.

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.”

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.”

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

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?”

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?

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.

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!”

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!”

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?”

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.

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!’

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.’

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.

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

“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father—to My God and your God.”

For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand

For it says:

When He ascended on high,
He took prisoners into captivity;
He gave gifts to people.

Hallelujah!
Her smoke ascends forever and ever!
