He said to them, "How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord', saying,

If David then calls him 'Lord,' how is he his son?"

And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did any one dare to ask him any more questions.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win a single proselyte, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

And he who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who dwells in it.

And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.

Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.

And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of,

and he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But at midnight there was a cry: 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'

But his master answered him, 'You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed?

Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

and they plotted to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.

And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"

And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"

The Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

Then Judas, who was betraying him, answered, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."

Peter declared to him, "Even if all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."

Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you." And so said all the disciples.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.

Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is the man; seize him."

And at once he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.

Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

But all this has taken place, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

And those who had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the end.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

But Jesus remained silent. And 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, "It is as you said. But I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists; and others slapped him,

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

And when he went out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth."

When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

And they bound him, and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" So Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly.

For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed him over.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered greatly today in a dream because of him."

Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!"

Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around him.

And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

and when they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

And they spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to carry his cross.

they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

and sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

And they put up over his head the charge written against him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads

So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

"He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink.

The rest said, "Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save him."

So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

And many women were also there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

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

Therefore order that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."

And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead. And behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Behold, I have told you."

And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came to him and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.

and said, "Tell them, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'

And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted.

And all the land of Judea, and the people from Jerusalem, went out to him and they were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove.

The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.

And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"

And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

Now at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
