This is the one about whom it is written,‘Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,Who will prepare Your way before You.’

All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

“Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen;My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased;I will put My Spirit upon Him,And He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.

The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.”

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!”

He *said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”

“Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?

Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

And He *went up on the mountain and *summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”

But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen!”

But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

Answering again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”

There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.

[Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.

“Glory to God in the highest,And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”

And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:

Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:

This is the one about whom it is written,‘Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,Who will prepare Your way before You.’

Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but He sent him away, saying,

Herod said, “I myself had John beheaded; but who is this man about whom I hear such things?” And he kept trying to see Him.

And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.

But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!

Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.

And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?

Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

John answered them saying, “I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.

This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’

I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

Philip *found Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.”

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

So Simon Peter *gestured to him, and *said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”

that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;

Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
