Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers.

Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together,…

Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away…

But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son…

She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is,…

Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.

They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me…

They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until…

They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening…

Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the…

He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male…

“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be…

“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s…

He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there.…

For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the…

Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild…

Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers,…

“I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not…

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into…

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”

But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.”…

Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the…

The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels…

Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”

Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”

Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall…

Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has…

Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net…

He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”

They immediately left their nets and followed him.

Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with…

They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing…

The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases…

Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the…

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever…

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his…

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you…

If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you…

“It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’

but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and…

nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and…

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?

“Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from…

Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues…

“When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the…

In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much…

Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

“Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be…

See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds…

“Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?

yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them…

Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven…

Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many…

How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.

By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on…

Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses…

When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,

Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that…

When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.

When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all…

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our…

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his…

Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.

The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”

He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there…

The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there,…

Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”

He said to them, “Go!” They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the…

Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic,…

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

He arose and departed to his house.

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him,…

As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will…

No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse…

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but…

Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was…

he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.

But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do…

Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”

Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”

But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the…

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like…

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal…

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the…

Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of…

Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.

As you enter into the household, greet it.

If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.

But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against…

A man’s foes will be those of his own household.

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.

He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I…

When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the…

From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their…

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax…

Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.

At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise…

At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck…

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”

But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:

how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were…

He departed from there and went into their synagogue.

And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that…

He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day,…

But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,

and commanded them that they should not make him known,

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He…

He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

In his name, the nations will hope.”

Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man…

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every…

If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then…

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”

But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the…

The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the…

The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the…

While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”

But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken…

Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they…

In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand;…

for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else…

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which…

What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;

He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these…

“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

“But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel…

He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took,…

which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that…

He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of…

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,

Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the…

He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and…

and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and…

who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”

He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a…

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this…

Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”

They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in…

He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”

His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.

His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it,…

Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send…

But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”

He said, “Bring them here to me.”

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the…

In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”

Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who…

and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”

He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.

Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My…

But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was…

Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down…

Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now…

The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples…

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

But he answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’

An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the…

The disciples came to the other side and had forgotten to take bread.

Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have brought no bread?

Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the…

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father…

I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail…

Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders,…

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and…

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange…

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will give to everyone according to…

Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death until they see the Son of Man…

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by…

He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying,…

When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”

Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the…

His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to.…

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,

So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring…

Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”

He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard…

While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of…

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher…

He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the…

Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have…

Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge…

If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into…

If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one…

See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of…

“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go…

If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone…

“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have…

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as…

Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be…

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”

Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven…

Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and…

The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.

“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him…

“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’

He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due.

So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was…

Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.

So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”

Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall…

They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”

He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the…

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he…

His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to…

He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life,…

He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not…

The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure…

Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with…

When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man…

“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire…

When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day…

“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will…

“When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages,…

When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and…

“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they…

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand…

But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be…

He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on…

But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones…

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on…

Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they…

saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with…

If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,

and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed…

When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”

The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth…

He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.

Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit…

Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done…

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and…

Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what…

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say,…

They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do…

Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell…

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the…

“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it,…

When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.

The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.

But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his…

So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.

They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who…

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of…

“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,

and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That…

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach…

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God…

When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.

On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up…

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,

All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and…

For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will…

But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their…

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he…

And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’

He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.

He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.

He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.

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

and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the…

Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of…

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered…

Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the…

But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here…

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be?…

Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.

Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.

“But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the…

He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the…

“Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you know that…

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have…

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due…

Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’

and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,

and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth…

Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’

While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and…

“For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.

Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.

But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.

“Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.

He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five…

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you…

“He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another…

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will set you…

“But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where…

Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he…

“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his…

Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the…

He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from…

“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a…

“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,…

Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared…

“Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick,…

“Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these,…

When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the…

But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?

However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.

Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also…

and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of…

From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare…

He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the…

The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

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

They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”

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…

Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat;…

He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,

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…

Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike…

But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”

Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and…

Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away…

He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?

Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink…

He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and…

While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and…

Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”

Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high…

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and…

But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to…

Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him…

and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”

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

But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are…

Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the…

Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold,…

Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”

But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with…

After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes…

Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then…

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to…

They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of…

The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the…

They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.

and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to…

When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or…

For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man,…

But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him…

They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might…

they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

and they sat and watched him there.

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we…

He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were…

Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.

Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the…

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal…

Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the…

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you…

They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and…

Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will…

Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that…

saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”…
