When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed.

Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

On that day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.

And answering they *said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.”

But Jesus called for them, saying, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

And Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”

As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”

Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much.”

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’

Another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief;

When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

shouting:
“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord;
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

saying to them, “It is written, ‘And My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a robbers’ den.”

and they spoke, saying to Him, “Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?”

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’

But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone’?

Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

“Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.”

Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),

and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.

Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him.”

Then He said to them, “How is it that they say the Christ is David’s son?

Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord,’ and how is He his son?”

“As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down.”

And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.

But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.”

They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?”

And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you

And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘And He was numbered with transgressors’; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment.”

They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.”

After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.”

and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, “Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?”

“If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;

And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.”

So Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “It is as you say.”

But they kept on insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place.”

and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.

But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!”

Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’

For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.”

Now there was also an inscription above Him, “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”

and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

But these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them.

And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.

But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.”

And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.

But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them.

They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”

See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”

and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
