Then Jesus said, “Were not 10 cleansed? Where are the nine?

Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

When Jesus heard this, He told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

Seeing that he became sad, Jesus said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!

“Jesus the Nazarene is passing by,” they told him.

So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him. When he drew near, He asked him,

“Receive your sight!” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.”

He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was not able because of the crowd, since he was a short man.

So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus, since He was about to pass that way.

When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today I must stay at your house.”

“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.

Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their robes on the donkey, they helped Jesus get on it.

And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Jesus told them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us, so we can eat it.”

While He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him,

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

But Jesus responded, “No more of this!” And touching his ear, He healed him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?

The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating Him.

Herod was very glad to see Jesus; for a long time he had wanted to see Him because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him.

So he kept asking Him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.

Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again,

and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.

As they led Him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and your children.

[Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.”] And they divided His clothes and cast lots.

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

And Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” Saying this, He breathed His last.

He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.

They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them.

“What things?” He asked them.

So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,

for the law was given through Moses,
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”

The two disciples heard him say this and followed Jesus.

When Jesus turned and noticed them following Him, He asked them, “What are you looking for?”

They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are You staying?”

and he brought Simon to Jesus.

When Jesus saw him, He said, “You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which means “Rock”).

The next day He decided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip and told him, “Follow Me!”

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!”

Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said about him, “Here is a true Israelite; no deceit is in him.”

“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

“Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered.

Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe only because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”

On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and

Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding as well.

When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They don’t have any wine.”

“What has this concern of yours to do with Me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

“Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.

Jesus performed this first sign in Cana of Galilee. He displayed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Jesus answered, “Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it up in three days.”

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

Jesus, however, would not entrust Himself to them, since He knew them all

Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

“Are you a teacher of Israel and don’t know these things?” Jesus replied.

After this, Jesus and His disciples went to the Judean countryside, where He spent time with them and baptized.

When Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard He was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from His journey, sat down at the well. It was about six in the evening.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water.

“Give Me a drink,” Jesus said to her,

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”

Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again.

“I don’t have a husband,” she answered.

“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus said.

Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

“I am He,” Jesus told her, “the One speaking to you.”

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,” Jesus told them.

Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”

“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.

This, therefore, was the second sign Jesus performed after He came from Judea to Galilee.

After this, a Jewish festival took place, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk!”

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

After this, Jesus found him in the temple complex and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Therefore, the Jews began persecuting Jesus because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

But Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working, and I am working also.”

Then Jesus replied, “I assure you: The Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way.

After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

So Jesus went up a mountain and sat down there with His disciples.

Therefore, when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward Him, He asked Philip, “Where will we buy bread so these people can eat?”

Then Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated—so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.

Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.

After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Jesus answered, “I assure you: You are looking for Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God—that you believe in the One He has sent.”

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the real bread from heaven.

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again.

They were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
