Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with Him, and led them up on a high mountain, alone by themselves. And in their presence His appearance was changed,

Then He took a little child and had him stand in the midst of them; then He took him in His arms, and said to them,

Then He left there and went through the district of Judea and crossed the Jordan, and crowds of people again met around Him, and again He began to teach them, as His custom was.

And people were bringing little children to Him for Him to touch them, but the disciples reproved them for it.

Then He took the little children into His arms, and as He laid His hands upon them one by one, He tenderly blessed them.

As they were walking along the road up to Jerusalem, Jesus was going on ahead of them, but they were dazed while those who were still following were afraid. Then again He took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to befall Him.

I solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt at all in his heart, but has faith that what he says will take place, shall have it.

But they took him and beat him and sent him back empty-handed.

So they took him and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.

And they came up and said to Him, "We know that you always tell the truth, and pay no personal consideration to anyone, but teach the way of God honestly. Is it right to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

"When will all this take place? Tell us. And what will be the sign that it is about to be put into effect?"

Now when they take you to court for trial, do not be worrying beforehand about what you should say, but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you that will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

He also took the cup of wine and gave thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank some of it.

And he took Peter, James, and John along with Him, and He began to feel completely dazed and to realize His anguish of heart,

and He was saying, "Abba [which means 'Father'], anything is possible for you! Take this cup away from me! Yet, I pray, not what I want but what you want!"

They took Jesus away to the high priest, and all the high priests, elders, and scribes met there.

Some took the witness stand and gave this false testimony against Him:

And some of them started to spit on Him and to blindfold Him and to hit Him with their fists, and say to Him, "Now play the prophet!" Even the attendants took charge of Him with slaps at Him.

As soon as it was daylight, the high priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes; and the whole council, after binding Jesus, took Him away and turned Him over to Pilate.

Then he took Him up and in a second of time he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world.

Then he took Him to Jerusalem, and had Him stand on the tip-top turret of the temple, and said to Him, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here,

Meanwhile He began to teach in their synagogues, and was continuously receiving praise from all.

How he went into the house of God and took and ate the sacred loaves, which it was against the law for anyone to eat except the priests, and gave some to his soldiers?"

Then Jesus said to them, "Is it right on the Sabbath to do people good, or to do them evil, to save life or to take it?"

Then He came down with them and took His stand on a level place, where there was a great throng of His disciples and a vast crowd of people from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and the seacoast district of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases.

So all the people were trying to touch Him, because power continued to go forth from Him and to cure them all.

So take care how you listen, for whoever gets more will have more given to him, and whoever does not get more will have even what he thinks he has taken away from him."

His mother and His brothers came to see Him, but they could not get in touch with Him, on account of the crowd.

So He said to them, "Take nothing with you for your journey, no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, nor even have two shirts.

Now the apostles returned and told Jesus all that they had done. Then He took them and privately retired to a town called Bethsaida.

Now about eight days after Jesus said this, He took Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

But Jesus, as He knew that the controversy was going on in their hearts, took a little child and had it stand by His side.

So he went to him and dressed his wounds by pouring oil and wine upon them, and then he put him on his donkey and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

The next day he took out a half dollar and handed it to the innkeeper, and said, 'Take care of him, and on my way back I will repay you.'

He said, "The one who took pity on him." Jesus said to him, "Go and practice it yourself."

Once He was praying in a certain place, and when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

When He had said this, a Pharisee asked Him to lunch at his house, and He went in and took His place at table.

He said, "Yes, a curse on you experts in the law, too, because you load people down with loads too heavy to carry, and yet you do not touch the loads yourselves with one of your fingers!

for at that very moment the Holy Spirit will teach you what you ought to say."

For instance, when you are on the way to court with your opponent, take the utmost pains on the way to get entirely rid of him, so that he may not rush you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the sheriff, and the sheriff put you in prison.

"When you are invited by anyone to a wedding supper, never take the best place, for someone of greater distinction than you may have been invited,

so that your host may not come and say to you, 'Make room for this man'; and then in embarrassment you will proceed to take and keep the lowest place.

But when you are invited anywhere, go and take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he may say to you, 'My friend, come up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow-guests.

He answered, 'Nine hundred gallons of oil.' Then he said to him, 'Take your bill and sit right down and write four hundred and fifty.'

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us a law that, if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, the man should take the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

Then they asked Him, "Teacher, when will this be? And what is the sign that it is about to take place?"

So He said, "You must take care not to be misled about it! For many will come bearing the name of Messiah, and saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.

And when you hear of wars and tumults, never be panic-stricken. For this has to take place first, but the end will not come all at once."

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet, not my will but always yours be done!"
