Jesus looked at them and replied, "This is impossible for mere humans, but for God all things are possible."

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth: In the age when all things are renewed, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside privately and said to them on the way,

Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

But Jesus called them and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them.

Two blind men were sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, "Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!"

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

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

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

So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.

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

Then Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple courts, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.

and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have prepared praise for yourself'?"

Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen.

Now after Jesus entered the temple courts, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

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

So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Which of the two did his father's will?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, tax collectors and prostitutes will go ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:

But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, "Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?

Jesus said to them, "Whose image is this, and whose inscription?"

Jesus answered them, "You are deceived, because you don't know the scriptures or the power of God.

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

While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question:

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,

Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings.

Jesus answered them, "Watch out that no one misleads you.

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,

They planned to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

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

When Jesus learned of this, he said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a good service for me.

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

So the disciples did as Jesus had instructed them, and they prepared the Passover.

Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus replied, "You have said it yourself."

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat, this is my body."

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

Jesus said to him, "I tell you the truth, on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

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

Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi," and kissed him.

Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you are here to do." Then they came and took hold of Jesus and arrested him.

But one of those with Jesus grabbed his sword, drew it out, and struck the high priest's slave, cutting off his ear.

Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place! For all who take hold of the sword will die by the sword.

At that moment Jesus said to the crowd, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple courts, yet you did not arrest me.

Now the ones who had arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, in whose house the experts in the law and the elders had gathered.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to find false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death.

But Jesus was silent. 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, "You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on 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. A slave girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."

When he went out to the gateway, another slave girl saw him and said to the people there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

When it was early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to execute him.

Now when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders,

Then Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."

At that time they had in custody a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.

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

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.

Pilate said to them, "Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?" They all said, "Crucify him!"

Then he released Barabbas for them. But after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.

Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's residence and gathered the whole cohort around him.

and offered Jesus wine mixed with gall to drink. But after tasting it, he would not drink it.

Above his head they put the charge against him, which read: "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."

At about three o'clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.

Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, "Truly this one was God's Son!"

Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support were also there, watching from a distance.

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

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

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

But Jesus met them, saying, "Greetings!" They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.

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

So the eleven disciples went to Galilee to the mountain Jesus had designated.

Then Jesus came up 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.

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

And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

Now after John was imprisoned, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.

Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people."

Then they went to Capernaum. When the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.

"Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!"

But Jesus rebuked him: "Silence! Come out of him!"

Simon's mother-in-law was lying down, sick with a fever, so they spoke to Jesus at once about her.

Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.

Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be clean!"

Immediately Jesus sent the man away with a very strong warning.

But as the man went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still they kept coming to him from everywhere.

When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus. Then, after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.

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

Now immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts, he said to them, "Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?

Jesus went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them.

As Jesus was having a meal in Levi's home, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

When Jesus heard this he said to them, "Those who are healthy don't need a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. So they came to Jesus and said, "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

Jesus said to them, "The wedding guests cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them, can they? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they do not fast.

Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheat as they made their way.

Then Jesus entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

They watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they could accuse him.

Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him. And from Judea,

Now Jesus went up the mountain and called for those he wanted, and they came to him.

Now Jesus went home, and a crowd gathered so that they were not able to eat.
