You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.

Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.

that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.

But he answered them, "You see all of these things, don't you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."

It happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples,

"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."

They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

As they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom."

The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"

But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day.

The angel answered the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me."

He said to them, "Let's go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason."

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.

When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.

"Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.

The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press on him.

For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,

The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.'"

For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."

It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side."

A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?"

He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?"

They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
