Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”

But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness;

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They *said to Him, “We are able.”

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

And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,

And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”

And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”

And Jesus answered and said to 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 happen.

Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” He also 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 that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.

Jesus *said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,

But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question:

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.

And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you.

When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,

and they plotted together to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him.

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

But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.

From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus.

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

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

Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus *said to him, “You have said it yourself.”

While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He 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 down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’

Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

And Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.

Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

Jesus *said to him, “You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of 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 too were with Jesus the Galilean.”

When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and *said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”

So when the people gathered together, 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 crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.

Pilate *said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all *said, “Crucify Him!”

Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him.

And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “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.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.

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

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

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

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

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

Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they *spoke to Jesus about her.

In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

And Jesus seeing their faith *said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, *said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

And it *happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

And Jesus said to them, “While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

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

Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they *woke Him and *said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;

and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”
