For when you are going before the magistrate with your opponent, do your best on the way to get rid of him, or he may hurry you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the constable and the constable throw you into prison.

Or those eighteen people at Siloam who were killed when the tower fell upon them??o you think they were worse offenders than all the other people who live in Jerusalem?

When Jesus saw her he called to her, "You are freed from your sickness!"

When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, and all the people were delighted at all the splendid things that he did.

when the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock on the door, and say, 'Open it for us, sir!' Then he will answer you and say, 'I do not know where you come from,'

There you will weep and gnash your teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, while you are put outside.

One Sabbath, when he went to take a meal at the house of a member of the council who was a Pharisee, they were watching him closely.

"When someone invites you to a wedding supper, do not take the best place, for someone more distinguished than you are may have been invited,

But when you are invited anywhere, go and take the poorest place, so that when your host comes in, he will say to you, 'My friend, come to a better place.' So you will be shown consideration before all the other guests.

And he said to the man who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, for then they will invite you in return and you will be repaid.

But when you give an entertainment, invite people who are poor, maimed, lame, or blind.

and when the dinner hour came, he sent around his slave, to say to those who were invited, 'Come! for it is now ready!'

Or else when he has laid his foundation and cannot finish the building, everyone who sees it will begin to ridicule him,

And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders with joy,

and when he reaches home, he calls in his friends and neighbors, and says to them, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my lost sheep!'

And when she finds it, she calls in her friends and neighbors, and says to them, 'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin that I lost!'

When he came to himself he said, 'How many hired men my father has, who have more than enough to eat, and here I am, dying of hunger!

But his elder son was in the field. When he came in and approached the house, he heard music and dancing,

But when your son here came, who has eaten up your property with women of the street, for him you killed the calf you have been fattening!'

I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my position people will take me into their homes.'

So I tell you, make friends for yourselves with your ill-gotten wealth, so that when it fails, they may take you into the eternal dwellings.

"What man among you, if he has a servant ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at the table,'

So you also, when you do all you have been ordered to do, must say, 'We are good-for-nothing slaves! We have done only what we ought to have done!' "

And when he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cured.

But one of them, when he saw that he was cured, came back, loudly praising God,

He was once asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, and he answered, "The Kingdom of God is not coming visibly,

And he said to his disciples, "The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not be able to do so.

for just as when the lightning flashes, it shines from one end of the sky to the other, that will be the way with the Son of Man.

It will be like that on the day when the Son of Man appears.

I tell you, he will make haste to provide it! But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

People brought babies to him to have him touch them, but the disciples, when they saw it, reproved them for it.

When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "There is one thing that you still lack. Sell all that you have, and divide the money among the poor, and then you will have riches in heaven; and come back and be a follower of mine."

But when he heard that, he was much cast down, for he was very rich.

And when Jesus saw it, he said, "How hard it will be for those who have money to get into the Kingdom of God!

And Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came up, Jesus asked him,

When Jesus reached the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, come down quickly! for I must stay at your house today."

And when they saw this, everyone complained, and said, "He has gone to stay with an irreligious man!"

And when he had secured the appointment and returned, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he could find out how much they had made.

Then why did you not put my money in the bank, so that when I came back I could have gotten it with interest?'

When he was near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples

For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up earthworks about you and surround you and shut you in on all sides,

and they will throw you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not know when God visited you!"

But when the tenants saw him, they argued with one another, 'This is his heir! Let us kill him, so that the property will belong to us!'

He will come and put those tenants to death, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this they said, "Heaven forbid!"

But that the dead are raised to life, even Moses indicated in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

When some spoke about the Temple and its decoration with costly stone and votive offerings, he said,

"As for all this that you are looking at, the time is coming when not one stone will be left here upon another that will not be torn down!"

Then they asked him, "Master, when will this happen, and what will be the sign that it is going to take place?"

But when you hear of wars and outbreaks, do not be alarmed. These have to come first, but the end does not follow immediately."

But when you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, then you must understand that her devastation is at hand.

for those are the days of vengeance, when all that is written in the Scriptures will be fulfilled.

But when this begins to happen, look up and raise your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand."

So when you see these things happen, you must know that the Kingdom of God is at hand.

When the day of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed,

When the time came, he took his place at the table, with the apostles about him.

And when he was handed a cup, he thanked God, and then said, "Take this and share it among you, for I tell you,

And he said to them, "When I sent you out without any purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" They said, "No, nothing."

And when he reached the spot, he said to them, "Pray that you may not be subjected to trial."

When he got up from his prayer, he went to the disciples and found them asleep from sorrow.

When I was among you day after day in the Temple you never laid a hand on me! But you choose this hour, and the cover of darkness!"

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean

When Herod saw Jesus he was delighted, for he had wanted for a long time to see him, because he had heard about him and he hoped to see some wonder done by him.

for a time is coming when they will say, 'Happy are the childless women, and those who have never borne or nursed children!'

For if this is what they do when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

When they reached the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, with the criminals one at his right and one at his left.

But the other reproved him and said, "Have you no fear even of God when you are suffering the same penalty?

And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!"

When the captain saw what had happened he praised God, and said, "This man was really innocent!"

And all the crowds that had collected for the sight, when they saw what happened, returned to the city beating their breasts.

and when they went inside they could not find the body.

They were in great perplexity over this, when suddenly two men in dazzling clothing stood beside them.

when he said that the Son of Man must be handed over to wicked men and be crucified and rise again on the third day."

When they reached the village to which they were going, he acted as though he were going on,

And when he took his place with them at table, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it in pieces and handed it to them.

And they said to each other, "Did not our hearts glow when he was talking to us on the road, and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

And they told what had happened on the road, and how they had known him when he broke the bread in pieces.

Then he said to them, "This is what I told you when I was still with you??hat everything that is written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must come true."

And they did so. When the master of the feast tasted the water which had now turned into wine, without knowing where it had come from??hough the servants who had drawn the water knew??10 he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone else serves his good wine first, and his poorer wine after people have drunk deeply, but you have kept back your good wine till now!"

So afterward when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the passage of Scripture and what Jesus had said.

Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the Passover Festival, many, when they saw the signs that he showed, came to believe in him.

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb over again and be born?"

It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend who stands outside and listens for his voice is very glad when he hears the bridegroom speak. So this happiness of mine is now complete.

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

"You are right when you say you have no husband, for you have had five husbands and the man you are now living with is not your husband. What you say is true."

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor at Jerusalem.

The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming??e who is called the Christ. When he comes, he will tell us everything!"

Many of the Samaritans in that town came to believe in him because of the testimony the woman gave when she said, "He has told me everything I ever did!"

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he did stay there two days.

When the two days were over, Jesus went on to Galilee,

So when he reached Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen everything he had done at Jerusalem, at the festival, for they too had gone to the festival.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and cure his son, for he was at the point of death.

So the father knew that it was the very time when Jesus had said to him "Your son is going to live." And he and his whole household believed in Jesus.

The sick man answered, "I have nobody, sir, to put me into the pool when the water stirs, but while I am getting down someone else steps in ahead of me."

Do not be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will listen to his voice,

Yet how can you believe in me, when you accept honor from one another, instead of seeking the honor that comes from the one God?

When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Pick up the pieces that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."

When the people saw the signs that he showed, they said, "This is really the Prophet who was to come into the world!"

When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat, and they were terrified.

So when the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were any longer there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of him.

And when they had crossed the sea and found him, they said to him, "When did you get here, Master?"
