But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to reign over us.'

'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'!"

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

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

At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

"But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?'

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust."

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people -- for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

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

But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Why do you test me?

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

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."

He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,

for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."

When you hear of wars and disturbances, don't be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."

But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.

You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.

"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"

But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn't it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.

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

but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."

Then he said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

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

But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

But Jesus answered, "Let me at least do this" -- and he touched his ear, and healed him.

When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from a distance.

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 don't know what you are talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

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

But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."

But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!" --

but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!"

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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

And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

He isn't here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn't see him."

But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

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

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

He declared, and didn't deny, but he declared, "I am not the Christ."

John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know.

I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn't know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don't know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

(although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples),

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me."

But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

"Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
