He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,

who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life."

Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."

He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'

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

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

Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."

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

They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?"

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

They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

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

"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation."

He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.

Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days. For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.

For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.

Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.

But look, 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."

They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

He said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called 'benefactors.'

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? Is not 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.

While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, "Prophesy. Who is the one who struck you?"

When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

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.

A great crowd of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

One of the criminals who hung there insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."

All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

And look, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:

The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed.

One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have happened there in these days?"

He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

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.

and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.

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.

John testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

No one has seen God at any time. The only God, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.

He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

And I did not 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, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

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

And he found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting.

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here. Do not make my Father's house a marketplace."

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not 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.

He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

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

They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming to 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. So this joy of mine is now complete.

He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"

Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."

Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."

"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?"

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."

In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"

Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"

But he who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

"Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
