But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

And behold, two blind men sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And Jesus stopped and called them, saying, "What do you want me to do for you? "

And Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.

They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

So the crowds said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."

And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise'?"

And Jesus answered them, "Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will be done.

Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question; and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying:

But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?

But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,

Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

And Jesus answered them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

and they plotted to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.

Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

And at once he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.

Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

And those who had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."

Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. But I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

And when he went out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth."

And Peter remembered the word Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." So he went out and wept bitterly.

When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" So Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around him.

And they put up over his head the charge written against him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

And many women were also there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

And when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself also become a disciple of Jesus.

He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came to him and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee; and there they will see me."

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

And Jesus said to them, "Come follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you arethe Holy One of God!"

But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be clean."

But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was outside in the deserted places; and people came to him from every quarter.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

And as he sat at table in Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

And Jesus said to them, "Can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea

And when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and worshipped him.

And crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me."

Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

And they came to Jesus, and saw the man who had been possessed sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

Then they began to plead with Jesus to depart from their region.

Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.

And when Jesus had crossed over again by the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea.

So Jesus went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged around him.

When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."

But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house."

King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some said, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these powers are at work in him."

The apostles gathered to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

When Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.

In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said to them,

Being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,

And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

And Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernaclesone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
