But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”

Then Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they?

On that day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.

And Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”

Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.’

And he said to him also, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.’

If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’”

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

and they spoke, saying to Him, “Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?”

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

They questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.

And He said to them, “Then render 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 even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

“As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down.”

They questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”

And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;

because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;

and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’

“You are those who have stood by Me in My trials;

They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

and said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours.”

A little later, another saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “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 Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;

And they all said, “Are You the Son of God, then?” And He said to them, “Yes, I am.”

So Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “It is as you say.”

For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!”

One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”

And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.

One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?”

And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

You are witnesses of these things.

And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

They asked him, and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?”

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.”

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’

You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?”

The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,

and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.”

Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

They answered him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.”

Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”

And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God.”

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out.

Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “We are not blind too, are we?”

All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
