Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

"For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."

"To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.

But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."

So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.

The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."

But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God."

And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know of what kind of spirit you are.

Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."

Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'

The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name."

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

The Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?

"When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."

But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to you.

Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them do not know it."

He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.

"Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.

If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.

Peter said to him, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?"

For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

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

The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,

And note this, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused.

"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

"He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

"His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the sons of this world are, in their own generation, more shrewd than the sons of light.

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and wealth."

He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

"But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

But he said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"

As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They answered, "Caesar's."

He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage.

But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

For they cannot die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him."

They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"

Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days. For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.

They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.

He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'

But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."

saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."

After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter answered, "Man, I am not."

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

"If you are the Messiah, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,

They all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say it, because I am."

Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "So you say."

For look, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."

One of the criminals who hung there insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk?" They stood still, looking sad.

One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have happened there in these days?"

He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."

You are witnesses of these things.

And look, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."
