For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.

Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.

I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:

And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?

And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.

And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.

And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.

He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

And Jesus said, And I will not make clear to you by what authority I do these things.

But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.

Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but the man on whom the stone comes down will be crushed to dust.

When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?

As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?

And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.

Then he said to them, Nation will be moved against nation and kingdom against kingdom:

There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.

But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

And it will be turned to a witness for you.

So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.

But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.

For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;

Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.

In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.

But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.

But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.

And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.

And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:

This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
