When Jesus came back, the crowd welcomed him, because everyone was expecting him.

When the woman saw that she couldn't hide, she came forward trembling. Bowing down in front of him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched Jesus and how she had been instantly healed.

But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well."

When he arrived at the man's house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the young girl's father and mother.

When you visit a home and stay there, and go out from there,

if people don't welcome you, when you leave that city, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them."

All of them ate and were filled. When they collected the leftover pieces, there were twelve baskets.

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.

Now Peter and the men with him had been overcome by sleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus' glory and the two men standing with him.

The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus.

When the days grew closer for Jesus to be taken up to heaven, he was determined to continue his journey to Jerusalem.

When his disciples James and John observed this rejection, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

After careful consideration, Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he went by on the other side.

Similarly, a descendant of Levi came to that place. When he saw the man, he also went by on the other side.

But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man. When the Samaritan saw him, he was moved with compassion.

The next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, "Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.'

Jesus was driving a demon out of a man who was unable to talk. When the demon had gone out, the man began to speak, and the crowds were amazed.

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own mansion, his property is safe.

But when a stronger man than he attacks and defeats him, the stronger man strips off that man's armor in which he trusted and then divides his plunder.

When it gets back home, it finds it swept clean and put in order.

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when it's evil, your body is full of darkness.

Now if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays."

Then one of the experts in the Law told him, "Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us, too."

When people bring you before synagogue leaders, rulers, or authorities, don't worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,

How blessed are those servants whom the master finds watching for him when he comes! I tell all of you with certainty, he himself will put on an apron, make them sit down at the table, and go around and serve them.

So be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at a time when you don't expect him."

How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes!

the master of that servant will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know. Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with unfaithful people.

Then Jesus told the crowds, "When you see a cloud coming in from the west, you immediately say, "There's going to be a storm,' and that's what happens.

When you see a south wind blowing, you say, "It's going to be hot,' and so it is.

For example, when you go with your opponent in front of a ruler, do your best to settle with him on the way there. Otherwise, you will be dragged in front of the judge, and the judge will hand you over to an officer, and the officer will throw you into prison.

What about those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem?

When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you are free from your illness."

But the synagogue leader, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, told the crowd, "There are six days when work is to be done. So come on those days to be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

In that place there will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves being driven away on the outside.

When Jesus noticed how the guests were choosing the places of honor, he told them a parable.

"When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don't sit down at the place of honor in case someone more important than you was invited by the host.

But when you are invited, go and sit down at the place of least honor. Then, when your host comes, he will tell you, "Friend, move up higher,' and you will be honored in the presence of everyone who eats with you.

Then he told the man who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, stop inviting only your friends, brothers, relatives, or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return and you would be repaid.

Instead, when you give a banquet, make it your habit to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.

Then you will be blessed because they can't repay you. And you will be repaid when the righteous are resurrected."

When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who were invited, "Come! Everything is now ready.'

When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices.

When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, "Rejoice with me, because I have found the coin that I lost!'

But this son of yours spent your money on prostitutes, and when he came back, you killed the fattened calf for him!'

I know what I'll do so that people will welcome me into their homes when I'm dismissed from my job.'

"I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails, they will welcome you into eternal homes.

"Suppose a man among you has a servant plowing or watching sheep. Would he say to him when he comes in from the field, "Come at once and have something to eat'?

That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, "We are worthless servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.'"

When Jesus saw them, he told them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." While they were going, they were made clean.

But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice.

Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come. He answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with a visible display.

Then Jesus told the disciples, "The time will come during which you will long to see one of these days when the Son of Man is with you, but you will not see it.

People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.

But on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed all of them.

The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that.

Won't God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them?

I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

Now some people were even bringing their infants to Jesus to have him touch them. But when the disciples saw this, they sternly told the people not to do that.

When Jesus heard this, he told him, "You still need to do one thing. Sell everything you have and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

But when the official heard this he became sad, because he was very rich.

So when Jesus saw how sad he was, he said, "How hard it is for rich people to get into the kingdom of God!

When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him,

When Jesus came to the tree, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house today."

Then why didn't you put my money in the bank? When I returned, I could have collected it with interest.'

When he came closer and saw the city, he began to grieve over it:

because the days will come when your enemies will build walls around you, surround you, and close you in on every side.

They will level you to the ground you and those who live within your city limits. They will not leave one stone on another within your walls, because you didn't recognize the time when you were visited."

But when the farmers saw him, they talked it over among themselves and said, "This is the heir. Let's kill him so that the inheritance will be ours!'

When the scribes and the high priests realized that Jesus had told this parable about them, they wanted to arrest him right then, but they were afraid of the crowd.

Even Moses demonstrated in the story about the bush that the dead are raised, when he calls the Lord, "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

"As for these things that you see, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another that won't be knocked down."

Then they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things take place, and what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?"

When you hear of wars and revolutions, never be alarmed, because these sort of things must take place first, but the end won't come right away."

"When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then understand that its devastation is approaching.

because these are the days of vengeance when all that is written will be fulfilled.

"Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is approaching."

In the same way, when you see these things taking place, you will know that the kingdom of God is near.

Now during the day Jesus would teach in the Temple, but when evening came he would go out and spend the night on what is called the Mount of Olives.

Judas accepted their offer and began to look for a good opportunity to betray Jesus to them when no crowd was present.

Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table, along with his apostles.

but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail. When you have come back, you must strengthen your brothers."

Then Jesus asked his disciples, "When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing at all."

When he arrived, he told them, "Keep on praying that you may not be tempted."

When he got up from prayer, he went to the disciples and found them asleep from sorrow.

When those who were around Jesus saw what was about to take place, they asked, "Lord, should we attack with our swords?"

While I was with you day after day in the Temple, you didn't lay a hand on me. But this is your hour, when darkness reigns!"

When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had taken their seats, Peter, too, sat down among them.

When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

When he learned with certainty that Jesus came from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him off to Herod, who was in Jerusalem at that time.

because the time is surely coming when people will say, "How blessed are the women who couldn't bear children and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'

And if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

When they reached the place called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

Then he went on to plead, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!"

When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "This man certainly was righteous!"

When all the crowds who had come together for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they beat their chests and left.

but when they went in, they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.

Then the two men began to tell what had happened on the road and how they had recognized him when he broke the bread in pieces.
