who tried to see what Jesus was like; but he could not, on account of the crowd ??for he was small of stature.

But when Jesus reached the spot he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down at once, for I must stay at your house to-day."

But when they saw this, everyone began to mutter that he had gone to be the guest of a sinner.

'I tell you, to everyone who has shall more be given, but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken.

But he replied, "I tell you, if they were to keep quiet, the very stones would shout."

saying, "Would that you too knew even to-day on what your peace depends! But no, it is hidden from you!

"It is written," he told them, "my house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."

but they could not discover what was to be done, for the whole of the people hung upon his lips.

When the season came round he sent a servant to the vine dressers to receive part of the produce of the vineyard, but the vinedressers flogged him and sent him off with nothing.

Then he sent still a third, but this one they wounded and threw outside.

But when the vinedressers saw him, they argued to themselves, 'Here is the heir, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.'

But he looked at them and said, "Then what does this scripture mean? ??The stone that the builders rejected is the chief stone now of the corner.

At that hour the scribes and high priests tried to lay hands on him, but they were afraid of the people. They knew he had meant this parable for them.

They put this question to him, "Teacher, we know you are straight in what you say and teach, you do not look to human favour but teach the Way of God honestly.

But he noted their knavery and said to them,

but those who are considered worthy to attain yonder world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are married,

God is not a God of dead people but of living, for all live to him."

But he said to them, "How can people say that the Christ is David's son?

for these people all contributed out of their surplus, but she has given out of her neediness all her living."

Some were speaking of the temple with its ornamentation of splendid stones and votive gifts, but he said,

And when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be scared; these have to come first, but the end is not at once."

But before all that, men will lay hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to synagogues and prisons; you will be dragged before kings and governors for the sake of my name.

but not a hair of your head will perish.

But whenever you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then be sure her desolation is not far away.

But when these things begin to happen, look up and raise your heads, for your release is not far distant."

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words never.

By day he taught in the temple, but at night he went outside the city and passed the night on the hill called the Olive-Orchard.

But the hand of my betrayer is on the table beside me!

The Son of man moves to his end indeed as it has been decreed, but woe to the man by whom he is betrayed!"

But Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles rule over them, and their authorities take the name of 'Benefactor':

Which is the greatest, guest or servant? Is it not the guest? But I am among you as a servant.

but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail. And you in turn must be a strength to your brothers."

Then he said to them, "But he who has a purse must take it now, and the same with a wallet; and he who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

saying, "Father, if it please thee, take this cup away from me. But thy will, not mine, be done."

but Jesus said to him, "Judas! would you betray the Son of man with a kiss?"

Day after day I was beside you in the temple, and you never stretched a hand against me. But this is your hour, and the dark Power has its way."

But he disowned him, saying, "Woman, I know nothing about him."

But after this the Son of man will be seated at God's right hand of power."

But they insisted, "He stirs up the people by teaching all over Judaea. He started from Galilee and now he is here."

But though he put many questions to him, Jesus gave him no answer.

But they shouted one and all, "Away with him! Release Bar-Abbas for us!"

but they roared, "To the cross, to the cross with him!"

He asked them a third time, "But what crime has he committed? I have found nothing about him that deserves death; so I shall release him with a whipping."

But they loudly urged their demand that he should be crucified, and their shouts carried the day.

but Jesus turned to them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children!

But the other checked him, saying, "Have you no fear even of God? You are suffering the same punishment as he.

And we suffer justly; we are getting what we deserve for our deeds. But he has done no harm."

Now there was a man called Joseph, a member of council but a good and just man

On the sabbath they rested in obedience to God's command, but on the first day of the week at early dawn they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.

but when they went inside they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

They were terrified and bent their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look among the dead for him who is alive?

But this story of the women seemed in their opinion to be nonsense; they would not believe them.

Peter did get up and run to the tomb, but when he looked in he saw nothing except the linen bandages; so he went away home wondering what had happened.

but the high priests and our rulers delivered him up to be sentenced to death and crucified him.

Our own hope was that he would be the redeemer of Israel; but he is dead, and that is three days ago!

and could not find his body, but they came to tell us they had actually seen a vision of angels who declared he was alive.

Some of our company did go to the tomb and found things exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him."

but they pressed him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting towards evening and the day has now declined." So he went in to stay with them.

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.

but he said to them, "Why are you upset? Why do doubts invade your mind?

amid the darkness the Light shone, but the darkness did not master it.

Nobody has ever seen God, but God has been unfolded by the divine One, the only Son, who lies upon the Father's breast.

"I am baptizing with water," John replied, "but my successor is among you, One whom you do not recognize,

I myself did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting, that is he who baptizes with the holy Spirit.'

The wind blows where it wills; you can hear its sound, but you never know where it has come from or where it goes: it is the same with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life ??God's anger broods over him."

but anyone who drinks the water I shall give him will never thirst any more; the water I shall give him will turn into a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

But the time is coming, it has come already, when the real worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and in reality; for these are the worshippers that the Father wants.

At this point his disciples came up; they were surprised that he was talking to a woman, but none of them said, "What is it?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

But he said to them, "I have food, of which you know nothing."

He replied, "But the man who healed me, he told me, 'Lift your mat and walk'."

But this only made the Jews more eager to kill him, because he not merely broke the sabbath but actually spoke of God as his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

I can do nothing of my own accord; I pass judgment on men as I am taught by God, and my judgment is just, because my aim is not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

But I possess a testimony greater than that of John, for the deeds which the Father has granted me to accomplish, the very deeds on which I am engaged, are my testimony that the Father has sent me.

The Father who sent me has also borne testimony to me himself; but his voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,

You search the scriptures, imagining you possess eternal life in their pages ??and they do testify to me ??40 but you refuse to come to me for life.

but I know there is no love to God in you;

But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you ever believe what I say?"

"There is a servant here, with five barley-cakes and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

but he said to them, "It is I, have no fear";

Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly I tell you, it is not because you saw Signs that you are in quest of me, but because you ate these loaves and had your fill.

Work for no perishing food, but for that lasting food which means eternal life; the Son of man will give you that, for the Father, God, has certified him."

But, as I told you, though you have seen me, you do not believe.

for I have come down from heaven not to carry out my own will but the will of him who sent me,

and the will of him who sent me is that I lose none of those who are his gift to me, but that I raise them all up on the last day.

Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, but they died;

Such is the bread which has come down from heaven: your ancestors ate their bread and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live for ever."

Jesus said to them, "My time has not come yet, but your time is always at hand;

the world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its deeds are evil.

But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, he went up too, not publicly but as it were privately.

And the crowd disputed about him hotly; some said, "He is a good man," but others said, "No, he is misleading the people."

Jesus told them in reply, "My teaching is not my own but his who sent me;

He who talks on his own authority aims at his own credit, but he who aims at the credit of the person who sent him, he is sincere, and there is no dishonesty in him.

No, we know where this man comes from; but when the Christ does come, no one will know where he comes from."

So Jesus cried aloud, as he was teaching in the temple, "You know me? you know where I come from? But I have not come on my own initiative; I am sent, and sent by Him who is real. You do not know Him,

but I know Him, because I have come from Him and He sent me."

So they tried to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his time had not come yet.

you will search for me but you will not find me, and where I go, you cannot come."
