And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.

And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.

Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.

Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;

And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.

But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.

And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well.

Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.

Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.

And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.

And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.

And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.

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

They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.

And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.

You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.

And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.

And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping.

And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead.

Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

And they did so, and made them all be seated.

And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.

And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?

O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside?

A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.

A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.

But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete.

But I have to go on my way today and tomorrow and the third day, for it is not right for a prophet to come to his death outside Jerusalem.

And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.

And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.

And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?

But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?

Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.

And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married;

And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

But even Moses made it clear that the dead come back to life, saying, in the story of the burning thorn-tree, The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all men are living to him.

And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.

To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

They did not see that his words were about the Father.

In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.
