Rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in heaven, for in the [same] way they persecuted the prophets before you.

In the [same] way let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not the tax collectors also do the same?

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is remarkable? Do not the Gentiles also do the same?

In the [same] way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.

And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming!"

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!"

and while he was sowing, {some seed} fell on the side of the path, and the birds came [and] devoured it.

And they said, {Some} [say] John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the [same] way also the Son of Man is going to suffer [at] their hands."

In the [same] way it is not the will {of} your Father [who is] in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same [thing].

Take [what is] yours and go! But I want to give to this last [person] [the same] as [I gave] to you also.

And [he] approached the second [and] said the same [thing]. So he answered [and] said, 'I [will], sir,' and he did not go.

Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first [ones], and they did the same [thing] to them.

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

In the [same] way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

For this [reason], behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes. [Some] of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will pursue from town to town,

And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Give us [some] of your olive oil, because our lamps are going out!'

But the wise ones answered saying, "Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell [olive oil] and buy [some] for yourselves.'

In the same way the one [who had] the two gained two more.

For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!"

Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same [thing].

And leaving them again, he went away [and] prayed for the third [time], saying the same thing again.

In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking [him], saying,

And in the same [way] even the robbers who were crucified with him were reviling him.

And some of those who were standing there, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man is summoning Elijah!"

And [while] they were going, behold, some of the guard of soldiers went into the city [and] reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

And [after they] had assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a rather large sum of money to the soldiers,

And [when they] saw him, they worshiped [him], but some doubted.

And [when he] entered again into Capernaum after [some] days, it became known that he was at home.

Now some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

And it happened that while [he] was sowing, {some seed} fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

And the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered to him.

And they saw that some of his disciples were eating their bread with unclean--that is, unwashed--hands.

And if I send them away hungry to their homes they will give out on the way, and some of them have come from far away."

And he said to them, "Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power."

And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect [some] of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers.

And he sent another, and that one they killed. And [he sent] many others, [some] of whom they beat and [some] of whom they killed.

And they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him so that they could catch him unawares in a statement.

But some were expressing indignation to one another: "Why has there been this waste of perfumed oil?

But he kept saying emphatically, "If it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And they all were saying the same [thing] also.

And again he went away [and] prayed, saying the same thing.

And some stood up [and] began to give false testimony against him, saying,

And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him "Prophesy!" And the officers received him with slaps in the face.

In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking [him] to one another, saying, "He saved others; he is not able to save himself!

And some of the bystanders, [when they] heard [it], said, "Behold, he is summoning Elijah!"

And there were shepherds in the same region, living out of doors and keeping watch, guarding over their flock by night.

And at [that] same hour she approached [and] began to give thanks to God, and to speak about him to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward [is] great in heaven. For their fathers used to do the same [things] to the prophets.

Woe whenever all people speak well of you, for their fathers used to do the same [things] to the false prophets.

And just as you want people {to do} to you, do {the same} to them.

And if you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is [that] to you? Even the sinners do the same!

and some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,

"The sower went out to sow his seed, and while he was sowing, {some seed} fell on the side of the path and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised from the dead,

and by some that Elijah had appeared, and others that some prophet of ancient times had risen.

But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God."

And remain in the same house, eating and drinking {whatever they provide}, for the worker [is] worthy of his pay. Do not move from house to house.

At [that] same time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these [things] from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to young children. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.

And in the same way also a Levite, [when he] came down to the place and saw [him], passed by on the opposite side.

But some of them said, "By Beelzebul the ruler of demons he expels demons!"

For this [reason] also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will kill and persecute,'

for the Holy Spirit will teach you in [that] same hour what it is necessary to say."

Now at the same time some had come to tell him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

And behold, [some] are last who will be first, and [some] are first who will be last."

At [that] same hour some Pharisees came up [and] said to him, "Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!"

In the [same] way, therefore, every [one] of you who does not renounce all his own possessions {cannot be} my disciple.

I tell you that in the [same] way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

In the [same] way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

It will be {just the same} on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

There will be two [women] grinding at the same [place]; one will be taken and the other will be left."

And he also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on {everyone else}:

And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

And at the proper time he sent a slave to the tenant farmers, so that they would give him [some] of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenant farmers sent him away empty-handed [after] beating [him].

And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay [their] hands on him at [that] same hour, and they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had told this parable with reference to them.

Now some of the Sadducees--who deny {that there is a resurrection}--came up [and] asked him,

And some of the scribes answered [and] said, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

And [while] some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with precious stones and votive offerings, he said,

And you will be handed over even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put to death [some] of you.

And in the same way the cup after [they] had eaten, saying, "This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.

And [when] Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him.

And both Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on [that] same day, {for they had previously been enemies of one another}.

But the other answered [and] rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, because you are undergoing the same condemnation?

And behold, on [that] same day, two of them were traveling to a village {named} Emmaus [that was] sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem,

And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found [it] like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see."

And they got up [that] same hour [and] returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those with them assembled,

And he said to them, "Now draw [some] out and take [it] to the head steward. So they took [it].

So the father knew that [it was] that same hour at which Jesus said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

But there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)

And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, "He is a good [man]," but others were saying, "No, but he deceives the crowd."

Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say, "Is this not [the one] whom they are seeking to kill?

Then, [when they] heard these words, [some] from the crowd began to say, "This man is truly the Prophet!"

And some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man [who is] a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

[Some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these [things] and said to him, "We are not also blind, [are we]?"
