It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him.

Now when it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

When some of the bystanders heard it they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah!"

Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"

When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and given him support. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were there too.

Now when evening had already come, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

When Pilate was informed by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices so that they might go and anoint him.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.

And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, was seized with fear.

When he came out, he was not able to speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision in the holy place, because he was making signs to them and remained unable to speak.

When his time of service was over, he went to his home.

"This is what the Lord has done for me at the time when he has been gracious to me, to take away my disgrace among people."

When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

This was the first registration, taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

When the angels left them and went back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, that the Lord has made known to us."

When they saw him, they related what they had been told about this child,

At the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Now when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

So Simeon, directed by the Spirit, came into the temple courts, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary according to the law,

So when Joseph and Mary had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

When he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom.

But when the feast was over, as they were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.

When his parents saw him, they were overwhelmed. His mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evil deeds that he had done,

Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. And while he was praying, the heavens opened,

So Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

where for forty days he endured temptations from the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed, he was famished.

So when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time.

But in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's days, when the sky was shut up three and a half years, and there was a great famine over all the land.

When they heard this, all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage.

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch."

When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear.

But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!"

So when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came to him who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

When Jesus saw their faith he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."

When Jesus perceived their hostile thoughts, he said to them, "Why are you raising objections within yourselves?

But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken from them, at that time they will fast."

Jesus answered them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry --

When morning came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles:

"Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil on account of the Son of Man!

"Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.

A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when fully trained will be like his teacher.

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep, and laid the foundation on bedrock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built.

But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!"

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave.

When they came to Jesus, they urged him earnestly, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,

So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!"

So when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave well.

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep."

When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"

When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Then when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."

When they could not pay, he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"

Other seed fell on rock, and when it came up, it withered because it had no moisture.

Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in a time of testing fall away.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud voice, "Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not torment me!"

When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside.

Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.

Then Jesus asked, "Who was it who touched me?" When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!"

When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

But when Jesus heard this, he told him, "Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."

Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.

When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.

But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.

Once when Jesus was praying by himself, and his disciples were nearby, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Now on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

But when Jesus discerned their innermost thoughts, he took a child, had him stand by his side,

Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem.

Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

Now by chance a priest was going down that road, but when he saw the injured man he passed by on the other side.

So too a Levite, when he came up to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

But a Samaritan who was traveling came to where the injured man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him.

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.'

Now Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

So he said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honored; may your kingdom come.

Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute began to speak, and the crowds were amazed.

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe.

But when a stronger man attacks and conquers him, he takes away the first man's armor on which the man relied and divides up his plunder.

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but not finding any. Then it says, 'I will return to the home I left.'

When it returns, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them -- and now, something greater than Jonah is here!

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, your body is full of darkness.

If then your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you."

The Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before the meal.

One of the experts in religious law answered him, "Teacher, when you say these things you insult us too."

When he went out from there, the experts in the law and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to ask him hostile questions about many things,

Meanwhile, when many thousands of the crowd had gathered so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But when they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you should make your defense or what you should say,

be like people waiting for their master to come back from the wedding celebration, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

Blessed are those slaves whom their master finds alert when he returns! I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, have them take their place at the table, and will come and wait on them!

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
