But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

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.”

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

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

So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”

Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one…

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

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

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

Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

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

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

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by…

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

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,…

But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s…

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?”

But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.

“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…

He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

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

Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

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…

It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

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

The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

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

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.”

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the…

This is the first and great commandment.

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

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

But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.

Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.

But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.

“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of…

You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

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

Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

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 you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.

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

For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not…

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes…

“Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s…

for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever…

“If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’…

For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.

Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.

As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until…

and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.

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.

Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.

I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’

I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit…

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…

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;…

for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.

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

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

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

What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”

saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

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

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…

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

So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed…

When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”

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

and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down…

“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.’”

About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why…

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.

Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered…

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

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