"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down, and reaping that which I didn't sow.

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

It happened, when he drew near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."

They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, that the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

They answered that they didn't know where it was from.

The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'

"But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?'

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

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people -- for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

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.

They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

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

They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

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

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

He said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David's son?

for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."

"As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."

They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"

He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow them.

"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.

"So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat."

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"

that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

The Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers."

He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."

For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'He was counted with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."

They said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords." He said to them, "That is enough."

When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you don't enter into temptation."

and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

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

Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"

Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

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 didn't find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

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

They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."

Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."

He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come."

and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!"

His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."

The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'

Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don't receive our witness.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

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

You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'

What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

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

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.

The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
