Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?”

The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus *said to him, “You have said it yourself.”

But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

Then Jesus *said to them, “You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’

Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that this very night, before a 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.” All the disciples said the same thing too.

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”

And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?

Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.

They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,

The high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?”

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.”

And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”

Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.

Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”

And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.”

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.

Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’

And he was preaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they *came and *said to Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

And He *said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”

Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him;

And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.

And He *came home, and the crowd *gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal.

If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.

so that while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven.”

And He *said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?

And He was saying to them, “A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?

For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.”

and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know.

and He did not speak to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.

Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they *woke Him and *said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.

and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”

And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”

and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse—

But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”

And entering in, He *said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”

but to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not put on two tunics.”

Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.”

For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;

And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them.

for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”

for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened.

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;

and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.)

The Pharisees and the scribes *asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?”

And He *said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice.

And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

And Jesus, aware of this, *said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember,

And He was saying to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”

But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”

And Jesus was saying to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified.

As they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead.

and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it.”

When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”

When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, “Why could we not drive it out?”

From there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it.

But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

“Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”

John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.”

But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.

For he who is not against us is for us.

For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

[where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

[where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]

where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”

You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”

Looking at them, Jesus *said, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
