They all left him, and fled.

And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself, over his naked body. And they grabbed him,

They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together.

You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him to be worthy of death.

Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you."

Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they requested.

They shouted again, "Crucify him."

Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him."

The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews."

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

And they compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is translated, "The place of a skull."

They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it.

Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

It was the third hour, and they crucified him.

With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Look, he is calling for Elijah."

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

He said to them, "Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Look, the place where they put him.

They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.

They went away and told it to the rest. They did not believe them, either.

Afterward he was revealed to the Eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

they will pick up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them;[note: see Wallace, Exegetical Syntax, 403?6, whether promise or prediction] they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.

When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.

Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.

It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.

They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."

They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.

It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.

And suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.

When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord

He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Law,

When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.

When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,

and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."

They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.

Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"

for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, he was hungry.

and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"

All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Son of God." Rebuking them, he did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.

When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

And suddenly men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before him.

Not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst before Jesus.

Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."

They said to him, "The disciples of John often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."

But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days."

The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won't they both fall into a pit?

For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,

Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us." and, "God has visited his people."

When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the One who is to come, or should we look for another?'"

When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.

"To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'

When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"

He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.

But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.

So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.

He said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
