Thanks
Thanks to God the Father Almighty, and Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord. Thanks to my Father, Allen
Isaac White Jr., who inspired me to resume my studies in God’s Word. And by whose ‘homegoing’, my life in Christ
was renewed. Thanks to my mother Anna R. White, whose life inspires and encourages me.
It’s impossible to list here, all those here who deserve thanks, for fellowship and biblical insights. However,
thanks also to Rev. Allen Isaac White Sr., Sam Walker, Elder James Warren Sr. and Sister Shirley D. Warren, Gail
Harney, Anderson Grimsley, Rev. Solomon Smith, Ann Williams, Alma Young, Harold Scott and all of my professors and fellow students at the College of Biblical Studies.
My particular gratitude needs to be expressed to several professors from the College of Biblical Studies,
without whose help this Harmony would have been neither conceived nor published. Thanks to professor Roy Ledgerwood, for encouraging me to develop this Harmony during his ‘New Testament Literature Survey of the Gospels’
at the College of Biblical Studies. Thanks also to Dr. Richard Klein for his encouragement towards publishing this
Harmony; and for his editorial help, and guidance towards making this a more user friendly publication. Thanks
also to Dr. Harry Leafe for his direction and encouragement to proceed with publishing this work; to make use of
the NET Bible, and for his help in getting this work published. I am particularly thankful for the suggestion to use
the NET Bible after having read the endorsement of the NET Bible by Chuck Swindoll, (whose lessons I listen to
almost every day), which states:
“There are many wonderful things I could say about the NET Bible, but the most important is this:
the NET Bible is a Bible you can trust. The translation is clear, accurate, and powerful. And the
notes, those wonderful notes! They bring to the layman scholarly insights and discussions that have
up till now been accessible only to those trained in the biblical languages. If you are serious about
studying Scripture, get a copy of the NET Bible.” – Chuck Swindoll
The NET Bible notes are not available in this harmony. However I would strongly encourage you to get a
copy for your own personal study.
And finally thanks to my family, my wife Cyndi, daughter Quinci and son Greyson, for their support, and
patience, and help with the manuscript throughout this project.

Introduction
Synopsis of the Four Gospels
A synopsis is a tool which displays different passages of a text side by side for comparison. This is most commonly done with the four Gospels of the New Testament because of their similar material, but it could reasonably be
done with any text that has similar passages, such as the Old Testament historical narratives. The synopsis you presently hold contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It is different from comparing parallel versions, such as one
English translation to another, because all of the passages displayed in this synopsis are from the same version, the NET
Bible. It is different from a harmony because the passages are not reorganized into one story; each Gospel in a synopsis
is separate from the others and can be read by itself or in comparison with the others. This parallel arrangement enables
fruitful comparison of the Gospels to each other so each may be understood well on its own in light of the others.
The layout of the synopsis is designed to allow for comparison of similar material across the Gospels while not
losing sight of each Gospel as a discrete whole. Each Gospel has been subdivided into small units, usually paragraphs
but sometimes smaller or larger depending on the material. The Gospels are then arranged into columns which follow
the canonical order of Matthew, Mark, Luke, then John, with similar paragraphs presented side by side so the reader can
compare them easily. The far right column is used for ancillary material helpful to the reader.
The Tables of Parallels are based upon the Synopsis of the Four Gospels of Kurt Aland, 12th Edition, (New York:
United Bible Societies, 1985). In Aland’s Synopsis, the numbered pericopes are often repeated in order to provide a continuous series of references in sequential order, for each of the four gospels. Each text ultimately occurs in consecutive
order with references to previous and next citations to provide continuity. Following the bold type in the same column
header, (e.g., Matthew), of each table below, provides the verses in order for each book of the Gospels. The reader using
this synopsis can run their eyes down each Gospel’s column, stopping only at the references in bold type, in order to read
all of the references and parallels in order for each Gospel.
As a basic text for this Synopsis of the Four Gospels, the NET Bible has been chosen. It would perhaps prove
helpful to you to use this synopsis as an extra-biblical reading or a study guide with your own copy of the NET Bible.
The complete NET Bible is available online, for free, at www.netbible.com. The synopsis follows four conventions which
may seem a bit unusual, but they are done for important reasons. (1) Empty space in a synopsis is intentional: When
any Gospel lacks material that is found in another, that column will be left empty as a visual clue that there is no parallel
to the material found in the other Gospel. (2) Some paragraphs will be printed more than once in the synopsis. This is
because the material occurs in two or more Gospels. The first time the material is printed the synopsis is following the
order of the first Gospel, while the second time the material is printed the synopsis is following the order of the second
Gospel, and so on. This allows the reader to compare and contrast the broad setting of the paragraphs in each Gospel
more objectively. (3) Through different sizes of type the synopsis indicates the relative closeness of the parallel material.
Primary parallels, which indicate a direct relationship between the paragraphs, are printed in normal type. Secondary
parallels, which indicate a less direct, perhaps only conceptually parallel relationship, are printed in smaller type. (4)
Quotations from the Old Testament are printed in bold italics, and allusions to the Old Testament are printed in plain
italics. This convention is followed in the NET Bible itself, and it is retained here as a help for the reader.
Synopsis Features
A Table of Scriptures that enables the reader to see at a glance which of the four writers reported on the events
that make up the complete Gospel story and also has a page reference to direct you to that event.

NET Bible Synopsis of the Four Gospels

The Eusebian Canons
The text for Eusebius’ letter to Carpianus is taken from the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graecum (27th
ed.) (pp. 73*-74*), as are the listings of the tables themselves (pp. 74*-78*). The tables have been modified to include
scripture references in a modern chapter:verse notation. The translations of Eusebius’ letter and Jerome’s letter (which is
helpful as an alternate explanation of the Eusebian apparatus) are compliments of Kevin P. Edgecomb. You can find his
website at http://www.bombaxo.com/euspage.html.
Eusebian Sections with NET BIBLE References
The Eusebian Sections are listed in the Appendix. Indicated are the modern chapter and verse references for the
numbered sections devised by Eusebius (and/or Ammonius).  There are two numbers for each entry within each table
cell, the first being the Eusebian section and canon, separated by a colon, the second being the NET Bible reference.
Letter of Eusebius to Carpianus
Eusebius to Carpianus, (my) beloved brother in the Lord.
Greetings.
Ammonius the Alexandrian, through truly much labor and zeal, presented to us the Fourfold Harmony:1 set
in order next to the Gospel According to Matthew were the similar-sounding2 pericopes of the rest of the
Evangelists, with the inevitable result that the continuing sequence of the three was utterly destroyed concerning the interconnection3 of readings.
But so that, while preserving entire the rest of the whole and the sequence, you may know the proper place in
each Evangelist in which each is guided by love of truth to say like another, taking a starting-point from
the work of the above-mentioned man, I have formed for you ten lists4 in total, attached below.
Of these, the first contains numbers in which similar things were said by the four: Matthew, Mark, Luke,
John.
The second, in which the three: Matthew, Mark, Luke.
The third, in which the three: Matthew, Luke, John.
The fourth, in which the three: Matthew, Mark, John.
The fifth, in which the two: Matthew, Luke.
The sixth, in which the two: Matthew, Mark.
The seventh, in which the two: Matthew, John.
The eighth, in which the two: Luke, Mark.
The ninth, in which the two: Luke, John.
The tenth, in which each of them wrote in his own manner.5
This, then, is the description of the lists attached below. Their clear explanation is this. In each of the four
Gospels, a number is written before each part, starting from the first, then second and third, and proceeding in order through the whole until the end of the books. For each number there is a preceding note in
1 δια τεσσαρων Not to be confused with the Diatessaron of Tatian. I choose here "fourfold harmony" as the translation to distinguish this and also to indicate
what the phrase would probably have brought to mind with an educated listener. the term is borrowed from musical terminology, and designates "a series of
four harmonic tones" (Metzer Canon, 114). Thus my translation. Another tempting translation is "synopsis," as this is the term for modern works resembling
that of Ammonius' (e.g., Kurt Aland's Synopsis of the Four Gospels).
2 οµοφωνους
3 lit., "web"
4 κανων I translate as "list" throughout rather than "canon."
5 The absence for a list covering those pericopes peculiar to the trio Mark, Luke, John, and of the duo Mark, John, I have yet to see explained. The attraction to
having twelve lists would have been irresistible, one would think, to so early a churchman.

red showing in which of the ten lists the number happens to lie. For example, if it is a 1,6 clearly it is in
the first, if a 2,7 in the second, and so on to the tenth.
If having opened one of the four Gospels, you may wish to know a certain desired chapter, and to know
which have said similar things, and to find each specific place in which each like another was guided, in
the pericope you’re holding, take the preceding number, and seek the passage in the list with the red note
suggests; you’ll see immediately from those (headings) written before the head of the list how many and
which ones spoke concerning what you seek. having sought the numbers of the rest of the Gospels which
are in the list, corresponding to the number you are holding, and by seeking the passage in its specific
place in each Gospel, you will find them saying similar things.
Letter of Jerome to Pope Damasus8
BEGINNING OF THE PREFACE FOR THE GOSPELS OF SAINT JEROME THE PRESBYTER
To the blessed Pope Damasus, from Jerome,
You urge me to make a new work from the old, and that I might sit as a kind of judge over the versions
of Scripture dispersed throughout the whole world, and that I might resolve which among such vary,
and which of these they may be which truly agree with the Greek. Pious work, yet perilous presumption, to change the old and aging language of the world, to carry it back to infancy, for to judge others
is to invite judging by all of them. Is there indeed any learned or unlearned man, who when he picks up
the volume in his hand, and takes a single taste of it, and sees what he will have read to differ, might not
instantly raise his voice, calling me a forger, proclaiming me now to be a sacrilegious man, that I might
dare to add, to change, or to correct anything in the old books? Against such infamy I am consoled by two
causes: that it is you, who are the highest priest, who so orders, and truth is not to be what might vary, as
even now I am vindicated by the witness of slanderers. If indeed faith is administered by the Latin version, they might respond by which, for they are nearly as many as the books! If, however, truth is to be a
seeking among many, why do we not now return to the Greek originals to correct those mistakes which
either through faulty translators were set forth, or through confident but unskilled were wrongly revised,
or through sleeping scribes either were added or were changed? Certainly, I do not discuss the Old Testament, which came from the Seventy Elders in the Greek language, changing in three steps until it arrived
with us [Hebrew > Greek > Latin].  Nor do I seek what Aquila, or what Symmachus may think, or why
Theodotion may walk the middle of the road between old and new. This may be the true translation which
the Apostles have approved. I now speak of the New Testament, which is undoubtedly Greek, except the
Apostle Matthew, who had first set forth the Gospel of Christ in Hebrew letters in Judea. This (Testament) certainly differs in our language, and is led in the way of different streams; it is necessary to seek
the single fountainhead. I pass over those books which are called by the name of Lucian and Hesychius,
for which a few men wrongly claim authority, who anyway were not allowed to revise either in the Old
Instrument after the Seventy Translators, or to pour out revisions in the New; with the Scriptures previously translated into the languages of many nations, the additions may now be shown to be false.
Therefore, this present little preface promises only the four Gospels, the order of which is Matthew, Mark,
Luke, John, revised in comparison with only old Greek books. They do not disagree with many familiar
Latin readings, as we have kept our pen in control, but only those in which the sense will have been seen
to have changed (from the Greek) are corrected; the rest remain as they have been.

We have also copied the lists which Eusebius the bishop of Caesarea, following Ammonius of Alexandria,
set out in ten numbers, as they are had in the Greek, so that if any may then wish through diligence to
make known what in the Gospels may be either the same, or similar, or singular, he may learn their differences. This is great, since indeed error has sunk into our books; while concerning the same thing, one
Evangelist has said more, into another they have added because they thought it inferior; or while another
has differently expressed the same sense, whichever one of the four he had read first, he will revise the
other to the version he values most.  Whence it happened how in our time that all have been mixed; in
Mark are many things of Luke, and even of Matthew; turned backwards in Matthew are many things of
John and of Mark, yet in the remaining others, they are found to be correct. When, therefore, you will
have read the lists which are attached below, the confusion of errors is removed, and you will know all
the similar passages, and the singular ones, wherever you may turn to. In the first list, the four agree, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; in the second, three, Matthew, Mark, John; in the third, three, Matthew, Luke,
John; in the fourth, three, Matthew, Mark, John; in the fifth, two, Matthew, Luke; in the sixth, two, Matthew, Mark; in the seventh, two, Matthew, John; in the eighth, two, Luke, Mark; in the ninth, two, Luke,
John; in the tenth some peculiar ones are given which the others don’t have. Separately in the Gospels are
numbered sections of unequal length, beginning with one and increasing to the end of the books. This
is written before the passage in black, and it has under it a red number, which shows to which of the ten
(lists) to proceed, with the first number to be sought in the list. Therefore, when the book is open, for example, if you will wish to know of this or that chapter in which list they may be, you will immediately
be shown by the lower number. Returning to the beginning (of the book) in which the different lists are
brought together, and immediately finding the same lists by the title in front, by that same number which
you had sought in the Evangelist, which you will find marked in the inscription, you may also view other
similar passages, the numbers of which you may note there. And when you know them, you will return to
the single volumes, and immediately finding the number which you will have noted before, you will learn
the places in which either the same things or similar things were said. I wish that in Christ you may be
well, and that you will remember me, most blessed Pope.

 1:1 This is the record of
the genealogy of Jesus
Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.
Mark 1:1
 1:1 The beginning of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God.
Luke 1:1-4
 1:1 Now many have
undertaken to compile
an account of the things
that have been fulfilled
among
us,
 1:2 like
the accounts passed
on to us by those who
were eyewitnesses and
servants of the word from
the beginning.  1:3 So it
seemed good to me as well,
because I have followed
all things carefully from
the beginning, to write
an orderly account for
you,
most
excellent
Theophilus,  1:4 so that
you may know for certain
the things you were
taught.
John 1:1-18
 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was fully God.  1:2 The Word was with God in the beginning.  1:3 All
things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created
that has been created.  1:4 In him was life, 1 and the life was the light of
mankind.  1:5 And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not
mastered it.  1:6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.  1:7 He
came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe
through him.  1:8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about
the light.  1:9 The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into
the world.  1:10 He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but
the world did not recognize him.  1:11 He came to what was his own, but his
own people did not receive him.  1:12 But to all who have received him—
those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s
children  1:13 —children not born by human parents or by human desire or a
husband’s decision, but by God.  1:14 Now the Word became flesh and took
up residence among us. We saw his glory—the glory of the one and only, full
of grace and truth, who came from the Father.  1:15 John testified about him
and shouted out, “This one was the one about whom I said, ‘He who comes
after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’”  1:16 For we
have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.  1:17 For
the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through
Jesus Christ.  1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God,
who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.

angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you
will name him John.  1:14 Joy and gladness will come to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,  1:15 for he will be great in the sight
of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.  1:16 He will
turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.  1:17 And he will go as forerunner before the Lord in the spirit and power
of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the
Lord a people prepared for him.”  1:18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is
old as well.”  1:19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and
to bring you this good news.  1:20 And now, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, you will be
silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place.”  1:21 Now the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they began to
wonder why he was delayed in the holy place.  1:22 When he came out, he was not able to speak to them. They realized that he had
seen a vision in the holy place, because he was making signs to them and remained unable to speak.  1:23 When his time of service
was over, he went to his home.  1:24 After some time his wife Elizabeth became pregnant, and for five months she kept herself in
seclusion. She said,  1:25 “This is what the Lord has done for me at the time when he has been gracious to me, to take away my
disgrace among people.”
 1:5 During the reign of Herod king of Judea, there lived a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah,
and he had a wife named Elizabeth, who was a descendant of Aaron.  1:6 They were both righteous in the sight of God, following
all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly.  1:7 But they did not have a child, because Elizabeth was barren,
and they were both very old.  1:8 Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,  1:9 he was
chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the holy place of the Lord and burn incense.  1:10 Now the whole
crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.  1:11 An angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of
the altar of incense, appeared to him.  1:12 And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, was seized with fear.  1:13 But the

and then returned to her home.
 1:39 In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah,  1:40 and entered Zechariah’s house and
greeted Elizabeth.  1:41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Spirit.  1:42 She exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child in your womb!  1:43 And
who am I that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me?  1:44 For the instant the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the baby in my womb leaped for joy.  1:45 And blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be
fulfilled.”  1:46 And Mary said, “My soul exalts the Lord,  1:47 and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior,  1:48 because
he has looked upon the humble state of his servant. For from now on all generations will call me blessed,  1:49 because he who
is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name;  1:50 from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear
him.  1:51 He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their
hearts.  1:52 He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position;  1:53 he has filled the
hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.  1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,  1:55 as
he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”  1:56 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months

relative Elizabeth has also become pregnant with a son in her old age—although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth
month!  1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”  1:38 So Mary said, “Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me
according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
 1:26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,  1:27 to
a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.  1:28 The angel
came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!”  1:29 But she was greatly troubled by his words and began
to wonder about the meaning of this greeting.  1:30 So the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor
with God!  1:31 Listen: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.  1:32 He will be great,
and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.  1:33 He will reign
over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.”  1:34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I have
not had sexual relations with a man?”  1:35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most
High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God.  1:36 “And look, your

 1:57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to have her baby, and she gave birth to a son.  1:58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that
the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.  1:59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child,
and they wanted to name him Zechariah after his father.  1:60 But his mother replied, “No! He must be named John.”  1:61 They
said to her, “But none of your relatives bears this name.”  1:62 So they made signs to the baby’s father, inquiring what he wanted
to name his son.  1:63 He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.  1:64 Immediately
Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue released, and he spoke, blessing God.  1:65 All their neighbors were filled with fear,
and throughout the entire hill country of Judea all these things were talked about.  1:66 All who heard these things kept them in
their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the Lord’s hand was indeed with him.  1:67 Then his father Zechariah was
filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,  1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he has come to help and has redeemed
his people.  1:69 For he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,  1:70 as he spoke through the
mouth of his holy prophets from long ago,  1:71 that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate
us.  1:72 He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors, and to remember his holy covenant—  1:73 the oath that he swore to our
ancestor Abraham. This oath grants  1:74 that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, may serve him without fear,  1:75 in
holiness and righteousness before him for as long as we live.  1:76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High.
For you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,  1:77 to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of
their sins.  1:78 Because of our God’s tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high  1:79 to give light to those who sit in
darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”  1:80 And the child kept growing and becoming strong
in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he was revealed to Israel.

mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together,
she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.  1:19 Because
Joseph, her husband to be, was a righteous man, and because he did not
want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately.  1:20 When
he had contemplated this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in
a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take
Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the
Holy Spirit.  1:21 She will give birth to a son and you will name him
Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”  1:22 This all
happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet
would be fulfilled:  1:23 “Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a
son, and they will call him Emmanuel,” 1 which means “God with
us.”2  1:24 When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the
Lord told him. He took his wife,  1:25 but did not have marital relations
with her until she gave birth to a son, whom he named Jesus.

time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to
Jerusalem  2:2 saying, “Where is the one who is born king
of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have
come to worship him.”  2:3 When King Herod heard this
he was alarmed, and all Jerusalem with him.  2:4 After
assembling all the chief priests and experts in the law,
he asked them where the Christ was to be born.  2:5 “In
Bethlehem of Judea,” they said, “for it is written this way
by the prophet:  2:6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, in the land of
Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah,
for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my
people Israel.’” 1  2:7 Then Herod privately summoned
the wise men and determined from them when the star
had appeared.  2:8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said,
“Go and look carefully for the child. When you find
him, inform me so that I can go and worship him as
well.”  2:9 After listening to the king they left, and once
again the star they saw when it rose led them until it
stopped above the place where the child was.  2:10 When
they saw the star they shouted joyfully.  2:11 As they came
into the house and saw the child with Mary his mother,
they bowed down and worshiped him. They opened their
treasure boxes and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense,
and myrrh.  2:12 After being warned in a dream not to
return to Herod, they went back by another route to their
own country.
 2:1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the
Mark
angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of
the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely
terrified.  2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not
be afraid! Listen carefully, for I proclaim to you good
news that brings great joy to all the people:  2:11 Today
your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ
the Lord.  2:12 This will be a sign for you: You will
find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a
manger.”  2:13 Suddenly a vast, heavenly army appeared
with the angel, praising God and saying,  2:14 “Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace among people
with whom he is pleased!”  2:15 When the angels left
them and went back to heaven, the shepherds said to
one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this
thing that has taken place, that the Lord has made known
to us.”  2:16 So they hurried off and located Mary and
Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger.  2:17 When
they saw him, they related what they had been told about
this child,  2:18 and all who heard it were astonished at
what the shepherds said.  2:19 But Mary treasured up
all these words, pondering in her heart what they might
mean.  2:20 So the shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all they had heard and seen; everything
was just as they had been told.
 2:8 Now there were shepherds nearby living out in the
field, keeping guard over their flock at night.  2:9 An

into the temple courts, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary according
to the law,  2:28 Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God, saying,  2:29 “Now, according to your word, Sovereign
Lord, permit your servant to depart in peace.  2:30 For my eyes have seen your salvation  2:31 that you have prepared
in the presence of all peoples:  2:32 a light, for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”  2:33 So
the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him.  2:34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to his
mother Mary, “Listen carefully: This child is destined to be the cause of the falling and rising of many in Israel and to
be a sign that will be rejected.  2:35 Indeed, as a result of him the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword
will pierce your own soul as well!”  2:36 There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.
She was very old, having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.  2:37 She had lived as a widow
since then for eighty-four years. She never left the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.  2:38 At that
moment, she came up to them and began to give thanks to God and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for
the redemption of Jerusalem.
 2:21 At the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was
conceived in the womb.  2:22 Now when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and
Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  2:23 (just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every
firstborn male will be set apart to the Lord”), 1  2:24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is specified in the law of the
Lord, a pair of doves or two young pigeons. 2  2:25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was righteous
and devout, looking for the restoration of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  2:26 It had been revealed to him by
the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.  2:27 So Simeon, directed by the Spirit, came

the child’s life are dead.”  2:21 So he got up and took the child and his mother and returned to the land of Israel.
 2:13 After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and
flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to look for the child to kill him.”  2:14 Then he got up, took the child
and his mother during the night, and went to Egypt.  2:15 He stayed there until Herod died. In this way what was spoken by the Lord

“Let it happen now, for it is right for us
to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John
yielded to him.  3:16 After Jesus was
baptized, just as he was coming up out

 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted by the
devil.  4:2 After he fasted forty days and
forty nights he was famished.  4:3 The
tempter came and said to him, “If you
are the Son of God, command these
stones to become bread.”  4:4 But he
answered, “It is written, ‘Man does
not live by bread alone, but by every
word that comes from the mouth of
God.’” 1  4:5 Then the devil took him
to the holy city, had him stand on the
highest point of the temple,  4:6 and said
to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw
yourself down. For it is written, ‘He
will command his angels concerning
you’ and ‘with their hands they will lift
you up, so that you will not strike your
foot against a stone.’” 2  4:7 Jesus said
to him, “Once again it is written: ‘You
are not to put the Lord your God to the
test.’” 3  4:8 Again, the devil took him
to a very high mountain, and showed
him all the kingdoms of the world
and their grandeur.  4:9 And he said to
him, “I will give you all these things if
you throw yourself to the ground and
worship me.”  4:10 Then Jesus said to
him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written:
‘You are to worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’” 3  4:11 Then the
devil left him, and angels came and
began ministering to his needs.

 1:12 The Spirit immediately drove
him into the wilderness.  1:13 He was
in the wilderness forty days, enduring
temptations from Satan. He was

ministering to his needs.

 4:1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy
Spirit, returned from the Jordan
River and was led by the Spirit in the
wilderness,  4:2 where for forty days
he endured temptations from the devil.
He ate nothing during those days, and
when they were completed, he was
famished.  4:3 The devil said to him,
“If you are the Son of God, command
this stone to become bread.”  4:4 Jesus
answered him, “It is written, ‘Man does
not live by bread alone.’” 1  4:5 Then
the devil led him up to a high place and
showed him in a flash all the kingdoms
of the world.  4:6 And he said to
him, “To you I will grant this whole
realm—and the glory that goes along
with it, for it has been relinquished
to me, and I can give it to anyone I
wish.  4:7 So then, if you will worship
me, all this will be yours.”  4:8 Jesus
answered him, “It is written, ‘You
are to worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’” 3  4:9 Then the
devil brought him to Jerusalem, had
him stand on the highest point of the
temple, and said to him, “If you are the
Son of God, throw yourself down from
here,  4:10 for it is written, ‘He will
command his angels concerning you,
to protect you,’  4:11 and ‘with their
hands they will lift you up, so that
you will not strike your foot against

into one of the boats, which was Simon’s,
and asked him to put out a little way from
the shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught
the crowds from the boat.  5:4 When he
had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into the deep water and lower
your nets for a catch.”  5:5 Simon
answered, “Master, we worked hard all
night and caught nothing! But at your
word I will lower the nets.”  5:6 When
they had done this, they caught so many
fish that their nets started to tear.  5:7 So
they motioned to their partners in the
other boat to come and help them. And
they came and filled both boats, so that
they were about to sink.  5:8 But when
Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at
Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me,
Lord, for I am a sinful man!”  5:9 For
Peter and all who were with him were
astonished at the catch of fish that they
had taken,  5:10 and so were James and
John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s
business partners. Then Jesus said to
Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on
you will be catching people.”  5:11 So
when they had brought their boats to
shore, they left everything and followed
him.
 5:1 Now Jesus was standing by the
Luke 5:1-11
around and saw them following and said to them, “What do
you want?” So they said to him, “Rabbi” (which is translated
Teacher), “where are you staying?”  1:39 Jesus answered,
“Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was
staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about
four o’clock in the afternoon.  1:40 Andrew, the brother of
Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John
said and followed Jesus.  1:41 He first found his own brother
Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is
translated Christ).  1:42 Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus
looked at him and said, “You are Simon, the son of John. You
will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).  1:43 On
the next day Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee. He found
Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”  1:44 (Now Philip was
from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)  1:45 Philip
found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one
Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote
about—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”  1:46 Nathanael
replied, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip
replied, “Come and see.”  1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming
toward him and exclaimed, “Look, a true Israelite in whom
there is no deceit!” 1  1:48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you
know me?” Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, when you
were under the fig tree, I saw you.”  1:49 Nathanael answered
him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of
Israel!”  1:50 Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw
you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater
things than these.”  1:51 He continued, “I tell all of you the
solemn truth—you will see heaven opened and the angels of
God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
 1:35 Again the next day John was standing there with two of
his disciples.  1:36 Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said,
“Look, the Lamb of God!”  1:37 When John’s two disciples
heard him say this, they followed Jesus.  1:38 Jesus turned

top.  2:8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head
steward,” and they did.  2:9 When the head steward tasted the water that had
been turned to wine, not knowing where it came from (though the servants
who had drawn the water knew), he called the bridegroom  2:10 and said to
him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the cheaper wine when
the guests are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!”  2:11 Jesus
did this as the first of his miraculous signs, in Cana of Galilee. In this way he
revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
 2:1 Now on the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’
mother was there,  2:2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the
wedding.  2:3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have
no wine left.”  2:4 Jesus replied, “Woman, why are you saying this to me?

tells you, do it.”  2:6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish

scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned
their tables.  2:16 To those who sold the doves he said, “Take
these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house
a marketplace!”  2:17 His disciples remembered that it was
written, “Zeal for your house will devour me.” 3  2:18 So then
the Jewish leaders responded, “What sign can you show us,

this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”  2:20 Then
the Jewish leaders said to him, “This temple has been under
construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up
in three days?”  2:21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple
of his body.  2:22 So after he was raised from the dead, his
disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed

of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority
are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”  21:24 Jesus
answered them, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me then I will
also tell you by what authority I do these things.  21:25 Where did John’s
baptism come from? From heaven or from people?” They discussed this among
themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you
not believe him?’  21:26 But if we say, ‘From people,’ we fear the crowd, for
they all consider John to be a prophet.”  21:27 So they answered Jesus, “We
don’t know.” Then he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am
doing these things.  21:28 “What do you think? A man had two sons. He went
to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’  21:29 The boy
answered, ‘I will not.’ But later he had a change of heart and went.  21:30 The
father went to the other son and said the same thing. This boy answered, ‘I will,
sir,’ but did not go.  21:31 Which of the two did his father’s will?” They said,
“The first.” Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, tax collectors and prostitutes
will go ahead of you into the kingdom of God!  21:32 For John came to you
in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors
and prostitutes did believe. Although you saw this, you did not later change
your minds and believe him.  21:33 “Listen to another parable: There was a
landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its
winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went
on a journey.  21:34 When the harvest time was near, he sent his slaves to the
tenants to collect his portion of the crop.  21:35 But the tenants seized his
slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.  21:36 Again he sent other
slaves, more than the first, and they treated them the same way.  21:37 Finally
he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
 21:23 Now after Jesus entered the temple courts, the chief priests and elders
While Jesus was walking in the temple
courts, the chief priests, the experts
in the law, and the elders came up to
him  11:28 and said, “By what authority
are you doing these things? Or who
gave you this authority to do these
things?”  11:29 Jesus said to them, “I
will ask you one question. Answer me
and I will tell you by what authority I do
these things:  11:30 John’s baptism—
was it from heaven or from people?
Answer me.”  11:31 They discussed
with one another, saying, “If we say,
‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why
did you not believe him?’  11:32 But if
we say, ‘From people—’” (they feared
the crowd, for they all considered John
to be truly a prophet).  11:33 So they
answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Then
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell
you by what authority I am doing these
things.”
 11:27 They came again to Jerusalem.

the people in the temple courts and
proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests
and the experts in the law with the elders
came up  20:2 and said to him, “Tell us:
By what authority are you doing these
things? Or who it is who gave you this
authority?”  20:3 He answered them, “I
will also ask you a question, and you tell
me:  20:4 John’s baptism—was it from
heaven or from people?”  20:5 So they
discussed it with one another, saying, “If
we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why
we say, ‘From people,’ all the people
will stone us, because they are convinced
that John was a prophet.”  20:7 So they
replied that they did not know where it
came from.  20:8 Then Jesus said to
them, “Neither will I tell you by whose
authority I do these things.”

and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs
that you do unless God is with him.”  3:3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot
see the kingdom of God.”  3:4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb
and be born a second time, can he?”  3:5 Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he
cannot enter the kingdom of God.  3:6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.  3:7 Do not be amazed
that I said to you, ‘You must all be born from above.’  3:8 The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but
do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”  3:9 Nicodemus replied,
“How can these things be?”  3:10 Jesus answered, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you don’t understand these things?  3:11 I
tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our
testimony.  3:12 If I have told you people about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly
things?  3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.  3:14 Just as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, 1 so must the Son of Man be lifted up,  3:15 so that everyone who believes in him may have
eternal life.”  3:16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will
not perish but have eternal life.  3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be
saved through him.  3:18 The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.  3:19 Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has
come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.  3:20 For everyone who does
evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.  3:21 But the one who practices the
truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

bridegroom, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This then is my joy, and it is
complete.  3:30 He must become more important while I become less important.”  3:31 The one who comes from above is superior to
all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior
to all.  3:32 He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.  3:33 The one who has accepted his
testimony has confirmed clearly that God is truthful.  3:34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not
give the Spirit sparingly.  3:35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority.  3:36 The one who believes in
the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him.

known the gift of God and who it is who said to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have
given you living water.”  4:11 “Sir,” the woman said to him, “you have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do you get this
living water?  4:12 Surely you’re not greater than our ancestor Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself,
along with his sons and his livestock.”  4:13 Jesus replied, “Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty again.  4:14 But
whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again, but the water that I will give him will become
in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.”  4:15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be
thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”  4:16 He said to her, “Go call your husband and come back here.”  4:17 The woman
replied, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Right you are when you said, ‘I have no husband,’  4:18 for you have had five
husbands, and the man you are living with now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”  4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir,
I see that you are a prophet.  4:20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that the place where people must
worship is in Jerusalem.”  4:21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither
on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.  4:22 You people worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation
is from the Jews.  4:23 But a time is coming—and now is here—when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and
truth, for the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers.  4:24 God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in
spirit and truth.”  4:25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (the one called Christ); “whenever he comes, he
will tell us everything.”  4:26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.”  4:27 Now at that very moment his disciples
came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are
you speaking with her?”  4:28 Then the woman left her water jar, went off into the town and said to the people,  4:29 “Come, see a
man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can’t be the Messiah, can he?”  4:30 So they left the town and began coming to
him.  4:31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat something.”  4:32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you
know nothing about.”  4:33 So the disciples began to say to one another, “No one brought him anything to eat, did they?”  4:34 Jesus
said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work.  4:35 Don’t you say, ‘There are four more
months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up and see that the fields are already white for harvest!  4:36 The one who reaps
receives pay and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.  4:37 For in this
instance the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’  4:38 I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and
you have entered into their labor.”  4:39 Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman
who testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”  4:40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with
them. He stayed there two days,  4:41 and because of his word many more believed.  4:42 They said to the woman, “No longer do we
believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world.”
 4:4 But he had to pass through Samaria.  4:5 Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had
given to his son Joseph.  4:6 Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well.
It was about noon.  4:7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”  4:8 (For his
disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies.)  4:9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you—a Jew—ask me, a
Samaritan woman, for water to drink?” (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)  4:10 Jesus answered her, “If you had

these parables, he moved on
from there.  13:54 Then he
came to his hometown and
began to teach the people
in their synagogue. They
were astonished and said,
“Where did this man get
such wisdom and miraculous
powers?  13:55 Isn’t this
the carpenter’s son? Isn’t
his mother named Mary?
And aren’t his brothers
James, Joseph, Simon, and
Judas?  13:56 And aren’t
all his sisters here with
us? Where did he get all
this?”  13:57 And so they took
offense at him. But Jesus said
to them, “A prophet is not
without honor except in his
hometown and in his own
house.”  13:58 And he did
not do many miracles there
because of their unbelief.
 13:53 Now when Jesus finished
and came to his hometown,
and his disciples followed
him.  6:2 When the Sabbath
came, he began to teach in the
synagogue. Many who heard
him were astonished, saying,
“Where did he get these ideas?
And what is this wisdom that
has been given to him? What
are these miracles that are done
through his hands?  6:3 Isn’t
this the carpenter, the son of
Mary and brother of James,
Joses, Judas, and Simon? And
aren’t his sisters here with
us?” And so they took offense
at him.  6:4 Then Jesus said
to them, “A prophet is not
without honor except in his
hometown, and among his
relatives, and in his own
house.”  6:5 He was not able
to do a miracle there, except
to lay his hands on a few sick
people and heal them.  6:6 And
he was amazed because of
their unbelief. Then he went
around among the villages
and taught.
Mark 6:1-6a
 6:1 Now Jesus left that place
and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom.
He stood up to read,  4:17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was
given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it
was written,  4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent
me to proclaim release to the captives and the regaining of sight
to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed,  4:19 to proclaim
the year of the Lord’s favor.” 1  4:20 Then he rolled up the scroll,
gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in
the synagogue were fixed on him.  4:21 Then he began to tell them,
“Today this scripture has been fulfilled even as you heard it being
read.”  4:22 All were speaking well of him, and were amazed at
the gracious words coming out of his mouth. They said, “Isn’t this
Joseph’s son?”  4:23 Jesus said to them, “No doubt you will quote
to me the proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ and say, ‘What we
have heard that you did in Capernaum, do here in your hometown
too.’”  4:24 And he added, “I tell you the truth, no prophet is
acceptable in his hometown.  4:25 But in truth I tell you, there were
many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the sky was shut up
three and a half years, and there was a great famine over all the
land.  4:26 Yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman
who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.  4:27 And there were many
lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet none of them
was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”  4:28 When they heard
this, all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage.  4:29 They
got up, forced him out of the town, and brought him to the brow of
the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him
down the cliff.  4:30 But he passed through the crowd and went on
his way.

and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed
with him that day. Now it was about four o’clock in the afternoon.  1:40 Andrew,
the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John said
and followed Jesus.  1:41 He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We
have found the Messiah!” (which is translated Christ).  1:42 Andrew brought Simon
to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon, the son of John. You will
be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).  1:43 On the next day Jesus wanted
to set out for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”  1:44 (Now
Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)  1:45 Philip found
Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the
prophets also wrote about—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”  1:46 Nathanael
replied, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip replied, “Come and
see.”  1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, “Look, a true
Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”  1:48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know
me?” Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw
you.”  1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the
king of Israel!”  1:50 Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the
fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”  1:51 He continued,
“I tell all of you the solemn truth—you will see heaven opened and the angels of God
ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen
had gotten out of them and were washing their
nets.  5:3 He got into one of the boats, which
was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little
way from the shore. Then Jesus sat down and
taught the crowds from the boat.  5:4 When he
had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put
out into the deep water and lower your nets for
a catch.”  5:5 Simon answered, “Master, we
worked hard all night and caught nothing! But
at your word I will lower the nets.”  5:6 When
they had done this, they caught so many fish
that their nets started to tear.  5:7 So they
motioned to their partners in the other boat
to come and help them. And they came and
filled both boats, so that they were about to
sink.  5:8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell
down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from

the catch of fish that they had taken,  5:10 and
so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who

said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on

they had brought their boats to shore, they left

two other disciples of his were together.  21:3 Simon Peter
told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,”
they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that
night they caught nothing.  21:4 When it was already very
early morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples
did not know that it was Jesus.  21:5 So Jesus said to them,
“Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied,
“No.”  21:6 He told them, “Throw your net on the right side
of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net,
and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of
fish.  21:7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,
“It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was
the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on
underneath it), and plunged into the sea.  21:8 Meanwhile
the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net
full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a
hundred yards.  21:9 When they got out on the beach,
they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and
bread.  21:10 Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you have
just now caught.”  21:11 So Simon Peter went aboard and
pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred
fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was not
torn.

stretched out his hand and touched him, saying,
“I am willing. Be clean!” And immediately the
leprosy left him.  5:14 Then he ordered the man
to tell no one, but commanded him, “Go and
show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering
for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as
a testimony to them.”  5:15 But the news about
him spread even more, and large crowds were
gathering together to hear him and to be healed of
their illnesses.  5:16 Yet Jesus himself frequently
withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.

crossed to the other side and
came to his own town.  9:2 Just
then some people brought
to him a paralytic lying on a
stretcher. When Jesus saw their
faith, he said to the paralytic,
“Have courage, son! Your sins
are forgiven.”  9:3 Then some
of the experts in the law said
to themselves, “This man is
blaspheming!”  9:4 When Jesus
saw their reaction he said,
“Why do you respond with
evil in your hearts?  9:5 Which
is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are
forgiven’ or to say, ‘Stand up
and walk’?  9:6 But so that
you may know that the Son
of Man has authority on earth
to forgive sins”—then he said
to the paralytic— “Stand up,
take your stretcher, and go
home.”  9:7 And he stood up
and went home.  9:8 When the
crowd saw this, they were afraid
and honored God who had given
such authority to men.
 9:1 After getting into a boat he
to Capernaum, the news spread that he was at
home.  2:2 So many gathered that there was no
longer any room, not even by the door, and he
preached the word to them.  2:3 Some people
came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by
four of them.  2:4 When they were not able
to bring him in because of the crowd, they
removed the roof above Jesus. Then, after
tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the
paralytic was lying on.  2:5 When Jesus saw
their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your
sins are forgiven.”  2:6 Now some of the experts
in the law were sitting there, turning these
things over in their minds:  2:7 “Why does this
man speak this way? He is blaspheming! Who
can forgive sins but God alone?”  2:8 Now
immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit
that they were contemplating such thoughts,
he said to them, “Why are you thinking such
things in your hearts?  2:9 Which is easier, to
say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’
or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and
walk’?  2:10 But so that you may know that the
Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive
sins,”—he said to the paralytic—  2:11 “I tell
you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go
home.”  2:12 And immediately the man stood
up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of
them all. They were all amazed and glorified
God, saying, “We have never seen anything
like this!”
Mark 2:1-12
 2:1 Now after some days, when he returned
teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of
the law sitting nearby (who had come from
every village of Galilee and Judea and from
Jerusalem), and the power of the Lord was with
him to heal.  5:18 Just then some men showed
up, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher.
They were trying to bring him in and place
him before Jesus.  5:19 But since they found no
way to carry him in because of the crowd, they
went up on the roof and let him down on the
stretcher through the roof tiles right in front of
Jesus.  5:20 When Jesus saw their faith he said,
“Friend, your sins are forgiven.”  5:21 Then
the experts in the law and the Pharisees
began to think to themselves, “Who is this
man who is uttering blasphemies? Who can
forgive sins but God alone?”  5:22 When Jesus
perceived their hostile thoughts, he said to
them, “Why are you raising objections within
yourselves?  5:23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your
sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and
walk’?  5:24 But so that you may know that the
Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive
sins”—he said to the paralyzed man—“I
tell you, stand up, take your stretcher and go
home.”  5:25 Immediately he stood up before
them, picked up the stretcher he had been lying
on, and went home, glorifying God.  5:26 Then
astonishment seized them all, and they glorified
God. They were filled with awe, saying, “We
have seen incredible things today.”
 5:17 Now on one of those days, while he was

there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a

great number of sick, blind, lame, and
paralyzed people were lying in these
walkways. [“waiting for the moving
of the water.]  5:4 [For an angel of the
Lord went down and stirred up the water
at certain times. Whoever first stepped
in after the stirring of the water was
healed from whatever disease which he
suffered.”]  5:5 Now a man was there
who had been disabled for thirty-eight
years.  5:6 When Jesus saw him lying
there and when he realized that the man
had been disabled a long time already,
he said to him, “Do you want to become
well?”  5:7 The sick man answered him,
“Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up. While I am
trying to get into the water, someone else
goes down there before me.”
 5:1 After this there was a Jewish feast,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.  5:2 Now
up! Pick up your mat and
walk.”  5:9 Immediately the
man was healed, and he picked
up his mat and started walking.

Jesus and asked, “Why do we and
the Pharisees fast often, but your
disciples don’t fast?”  9:15 Jesus said
to them, “The wedding guests cannot
mourn while the bridegroom is with
them, can they? But the days are
coming when the bridegroom will
be taken from them, and then they
will fast.  9:16 No one sews a patch
of unshrunk cloth on an old garment,
because the patch will pull away
from the garment and the tear will be
worse.  9:17 And no one pours new
wine into old wineskins; otherwise
the skins burst and the wine is spilled
out and the skins are destroyed.
Instead they put new wine into new
wineskins and both are preserved.”
 9:14 Then John’s disciples came to
were fasting. So they came to Jesus and said,
“Why do the disciples of John and the disciples
of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t
fast?”  2:19 Jesus said to them, “The wedding
guests cannot fast while the bridegroom is
with them, can they? As long as they have the
bridegroom with them they do not fast.  2:20 But
the days are coming when the bridegroom will
be taken from them, and at that time they will
fast.  2:21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk
cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch
pulls away from it, the new from the old, and
the tear becomes worse.  2:22 And no one
pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise,
the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine
and the skins will be destroyed. Instead new
wine is poured into new wineskins.”
Mark 2:18-22
 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees
frequently fast and pray, and so do the disciples
of the Pharisees, but yours continue to eat
and drink.”  5:34 So Jesus said to them, “You
cannot make the wedding guests fast while the
bridegroom is with them, can you?  5:35 But
those days are coming, and when the bridegroom
is taken from them, at that time they will
fast.”  5:36 He also told them a parable: “No
one tears a patch from a new garment and sews
it on an old garment. If he does, he will have
torn the new, and the piece from the new will
not match the old.  5:37 And no one pours new
wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new
wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and
the skins will be destroyed.  5:38 Instead new
wine must be poured into new wineskins.  5:39 
No one after drinking old wine wants the new,
for he says, ‘The old is good enough.’”
 5:33 Then they said to him, “John’s disciples

had a withered hand. And they asked Jesus, “Is
it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” so that they
could accuse him.  12:11 He said to them, “Would
not any one of you, if he had one sheep that fell
into a pit on the Sabbath, take hold of it and
lift it out?  12:12 How much more valuable is a
person than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good
on the Sabbath.”  12:13 Then he said to the man,
“Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and
it was restored, as healthy as the other.  12:14 But
the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, as
to how they could assassinate him.
 12:9 Then Jesus left that place and entered
their synagogue.  12:10 A man was there who

and they began to pick heads of wheat and eat
them.  12:2 But when the Pharisees saw this they
said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is
against the law to do on the Sabbath.”  12:3 He said
to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when
he and his companions were hungry—  12:4 how
he entered the house of God and they ate the sacred
bread, which was against the law for him or his
companions to eat, but only for the priests?  12:5 Or
have you not read in the law that the priests in
the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are not
guilty?  12:6 I tell you that something greater than
the temple is here.  12:7 If you had known what
this means: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’1 you
would not have condemned the innocent.  12:8 For
the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
 12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grain
and a man was there who had a withered
hand.  3:2 They watched Jesus closely to see if
he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they
could accuse him.  3:3 So he said to the man who
had the withered hand, “Stand up among all these
people.”  3:4 Then he said to them, “Is it lawful
to do good on the Sabbath, or evil, to save a life
or destroy it?” But they were silent.  3:5 After
looking around at them in anger, grieved by
the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man,
“Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out,
and his hand was restored.  3:6 So the Pharisees
went out immediately and began plotting with
the Herodians, as to how they could assassinate
him.

synagogue and was teaching. Now a man was there
whose right hand was withered.  6:7 The experts in
the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to
see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they
could find a reason to accuse him.  6:8 But he knew
their thoughts, and said to the man who had the
withered hand, “Get up and stand here.” So he rose
and stood there.  6:9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask
you, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to
do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?”  6:10 After
looking around at them all, he said to the man,
“Stretch out your hand.” The man did so, and his
hand was restored.  6:11 But they were filled with

sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them.
How much more valuable are you than the birds!  12:25 And which

cannot do such a very little thing as this, why do you worry about the

not be overly concerned about what you will eat and what you will

of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you

Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.  8:4 Then
Jesus said to him, “See that you do not speak to

and heal him.”  8:8 But the centurion replied,
“Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under

under authority, with soldiers under me. I say
to this one, ‘Go’ and he goes, and to another
‘Come’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘Do
this’ and he does it.”  8:10 When Jesus heard
this he was amazed and said to those who
followed him, “I tell you the truth, I have not
found such faith in anyone in Israel!  8:11 I tell
you, many will come from the east and west
to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,  8:12 but the
sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the

and gnashing of teeth.”  8:13 Then Jesus said to
the centurion, “Go; just as you believed, it will
be done for you.” And the servant was healed
at that hour.

him to come and heal his slave.  7:4 When
they came to Jesus, they urged him earnestly,
“He is worthy to have you do this for
him,  7:5 because he loves our nation, and even
built our synagogue.”  7:6 So Jesus went with
them. When he was not far from the house, the
centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do
not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have
you come under my roof.  7:7 That is why I did
not presume to come to you. Instead, say the
word, and my servant must be healed.  7:8 For I
too am a man set under authority, with soldiers
under me. I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes,
and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to
my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”  7:9 When
Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him. He
turned and said to the crowd that followed
him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found
such faith!”  7:10 So when those who had been
sent returned to the house, they found the slave
well.  13:28 There will be weeping and gnashing

the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat
was nearly swamped.  4:38 But he was in the stern,
sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said
to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to
die?”  4:39 So he got up and rebuked the wind, and
said to the sea, “Be quiet! Calm down!” Then the wind
stopped, and it was dead calm.  4:40 And he said to

he came to the
other side, to the region of the
Gadarenes, two demon-possessed
men coming from the tombs met
him. They were extremely violent,
so that no one was able to pass
by that way.  8:29 They cried out,
“Son of God, leave us alone!
Have you come here to torment
us before the time?”  8:30 A large
herd of pigs was feeding some
distance from them.  8:31 Then
the demons begged him, “If you
drive us out, send us into the herd
of pigs.”  8:32 And he said, “Go!”
So they came out and went into
the pigs, and the herd rushed down
the steep slope into the lake and
drowned in the water.  8:33 The
herdsmen ran off, went into the
town, and told everything that had
happened to the demon-possessed
men.  8:34 Then the entire town
came out to meet Jesus. And when
they saw him, they begged him to
leave their region.
 8:28 When
boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs
and met him.  5:3 He lived among the tombs, and no one
could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.  5:4 For
his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and
shackles, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the
shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue
him.  5:5 Each night and every day among the tombs
and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself
with stones.  5:6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he
ran and bowed down before him.  5:7 Then he cried out
with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the
Most High God! I implore you by God—do not torment
me!”  5:8 (For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of that
man, you unclean spirit!”)  5:9 Jesus asked him, “What
is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion, for
we are many.”  5:10 He begged Jesus repeatedly not to
send them out of the region.  5:11 There on the hillside,
a great herd of pigs was feeding.  5:12 And the demonic
spirits begged him, “Send us into the pigs. Let us enter
them.”  5:13 Jesus gave them permission. So the unclean
spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd
rushed down the steep slope into the lake, and about
two thousand were drowned in the lake.  5:14 Now the
herdsmen ran off and spread the news in the town and
countryside, and the people went out to see what had
happened.  5:15 They came to Jesus and saw the demonpossessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right
mind—the one who had the “Legion”—and they were
afraid.  5:16 Those who had seen what had happened to
the demon-possessed man reported it, and they also told
about the pigs.  5:17 Then they asked Jesus to leave their
region.  5:18 As he was getting into the boat the man who
had been demon-possessed asked if he could go with
him.  5:19 But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead,
he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people
and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he
had mercy on you.”  5:20 So he went away and began to
proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him,
and all were amazed.
Mark 5:1-20
 5:1 So they came to the other side of the lake, to the region
of the Gerasenes.  5:2 Just as Jesus was getting out of the
ashore, a certain man from the town met him who was
possessed by demons. For a long time this man had worn
no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among the
tombs.  8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down
before him, and shouted with a loud voice, “Leave me
alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you, do not
torment me!”  8:29 For Jesus had started commanding
the evil spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized
him many times, so he would be bound with chains and
shackles and kept under guard. But he would break the
restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted
places.)  8:30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?”
He said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered
him.  8:31 And they began to beg him not to order them
to depart into the abyss.  8:32 Now a large herd of pigs
was feeding there on the hillside, and the demonic spirits
begged Jesus to let them go into them. He gave them
permission.  8:33 So the demons came out of the man
and went into the pigs, and the herd of pigs rushed down
the steep slope into the lake and drowned.  8:34 When
the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and
spread the news in the town and countryside.  8:35 So the
people went out to see what had happened, and they came
to Jesus. They found the man from whom the demons
had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his
right mind, and they were afraid.  8:36 Those who had
seen it told them how the man who had been demonpossessed had been healed.  8:37 Then all the people of
the Gerasenes and the surrounding region asked Jesus to
leave them alone, for they were seized with great fear. So
he got into the boat and left.  8:38 The man from whom
the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus
sent him away, saying,  8:39 “Return to your home, and
declare what God has done for you.” So he went away,
proclaiming throughout the whole town what Jesus had
done for him.
 8:26 So they sailed over to the region of the Gerasenes,
which is opposite Galilee.  8:27 As Jesus stepped

 9:1 After getting into a boat he
crossed to the other side and
came to his own town.  9:2 Just
then some people brought
to him a paralytic lying on a
stretcher. When Jesus saw their
faith, he said to the paralytic,
“Have courage, son! Your sins
are forgiven.”  9:3 Then some
of the experts in the law said
to themselves, “This man is
blaspheming!”  9:4 When Jesus
saw their reaction he said,
“Why do you respond with
evil in your hearts?  9:5 Which
is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are
forgiven’ or to say, ‘Stand up
and walk’?  9:6 But so that
you may know that the Son
of Man has authority on earth
to forgive sins”—then he said
to the paralytic— “Stand up,
take your stretcher, and go
home.”  9:7 And he stood up
and went home.  9:8 When
the crowd saw this, they were
afraid and honored God who
had given such authority to
men.
Mark 2:1-12
 2:1 Now after some days, when he returned
to Capernaum, the news spread that he was at
home.  2:2 So many gathered that there was no
longer any room, not even by the door, and he
preached the word to them.  2:3 Some people
came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four
of them.  2:4 When they were not able to bring
him in because of the crowd, they removed the
roof above Jesus. Then, after tearing it out, they
lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying
on.  2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the
paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”  2:6 Now
some of the experts in the law were sitting there,
turning these things over in their minds:  2:7 “Why
does this man speak this way? He is blaspheming!
Who can forgive sins but God alone?”  2:8 Now
immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that
they were contemplating such thoughts, he said to
them, “Why are you thinking such things in your
hearts?  2:9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take
your stretcher, and walk’?  2:10 But so that you may
know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins,”—he said to the paralytic—  2:11 “I
tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go
home.”  2:12 And immediately the man stood up,
took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all.
They were all amazed and glorified God, saying,
“We have never seen anything like this!”
Luke 5:17-26
 5:17 Now on one of those days, while he was teaching,
there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting
nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee
and Judea and from Jerusalem), and the power of the
Lord was with him to heal.  5:18 Just then some men
showed up, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher.
They were trying to bring him in and place him
before Jesus.  5:19 But since they found no way to
carry him in because of the crowd, they went up on
the roof and let him down on the stretcher through
the roof tiles right in front of Jesus.  5:20 When
Jesus saw their faith he said, “Friend, your sins are
forgiven.”  5:21 Then the experts in the law and the
Pharisees began to think to themselves, “Who is this
man who is uttering blasphemies? Who can forgive
sins but God alone?”  5:22 When Jesus perceived
their hostile thoughts, he said to them, “Why are you
raising objections within yourselves?  5:23 Which
is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say,
‘Stand up and walk’?  5:24 But so that you may
know that the Son of Man has authority on earth
to forgive sins”—he said to the paralyzed man—
“I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher and go
home.”  5:25 Immediately he stood up before them,
picked up the stretcher he had been lying on, and
went home, glorifying God.  5:26 Then astonishment
seized them all, and they glorified God. They were
filled with awe, saying, “We have seen incredible
things today.”

the Pharisees fast often, but your
disciples don’t fast?”  9:15 Jesus said
to them, “The wedding guests cannot
mourn while the bridegroom is with
them, can they? But the days are
coming when the bridegroom will
be taken from them, and then they
will fast.  9:16 No one sews a patch
of unshrunk cloth on an old garment,
because the patch will pull away
from the garment and the tear will be
worse.  9:17 And no one pours new
wine into old wineskins; otherwise
the skins burst and the wine is spilled
out and the skins are destroyed.
Instead they put new wine into new
wineskins and both are preserved.”
 9:14 Then John’s disciples came to

were fasting. So they came to Jesus and
said, “Why do the disciples of John and
the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your
disciples don’t fast?”  2:19 Jesus said to them,
“The wedding guests cannot fast while the
bridegroom is with them, can they? As long
as they have the bridegroom with them they
do not fast.  2:20 But the days are coming
when the bridegroom will be taken from
them, and at that time they will fast.  2:21 No
one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an
old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away
from it, the new from the old, and the tear
becomes worse.  2:22 And no one pours new
wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine
will burst the skins, and both the wine and
the skins will be destroyed. Instead new wine
is poured into new wineskins.”
 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees
frequently fast and pray, and so do the disciples
of the Pharisees, but yours continue to eat
and drink.”  5:34 So Jesus said to them, “You
cannot make the wedding guests fast while the
bridegroom is with them, can you?  5:35 But
those days are coming, and when the bridegroom
is taken from them, at that time they will
fast.”  5:36 He also told them a parable: “No one
tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on
an old garment. If he does, he will have torn the
new, and the piece from the new will not match
the old.  5:37 And no one pours new wine into old
wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst
the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will
be destroyed.  5:38 Instead new wine must be
poured into new wineskins.  5:39  No one after
drinking old wine wants the new, for he says,
‘The old is good enough.’”

disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink

and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples,
for there were many who followed him.  2:16 When

of this spread throughout
that region.
 9:18 As
one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he
saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.  5:23 He asked him urgently, “My
little daughter is near death. Come and lay your hands on her so
that she may be healed and live.”  5:24 Jesus went with him, and a
large crowd followed and pressed around him.  5:25 Now a woman
was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve
years.  5:26 She had endured a great deal under the care of many
doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better,
she grew worse.  5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up
behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,  5:28 for she kept
saying, “If only I touch his clothes, I will be healed.”  5:29 At once
the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed
of her disease.  5:30 Jesus knew at once that power had gone out
from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched
my clothes?”  5:31 His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd
pressing against you and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”  5:32 But he
looked around to see who had done it.  5:33 Then the woman, with
fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and
fell down before him and told him the whole truth.  5:34 He said to
her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be
healed of your disease.”  5:35 While he was still speaking, people
came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter
has died. Why trouble the teacher any longer?”  5:36 But Jesus,
paying no attention to what was said, told the synagogue ruler, “Do
not be afraid; just believe.”  5:37 He did not let anyone follow him
except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.  5:38 They
came to the house of the synagogue ruler where he saw noisy
confusion and people weeping and wailing loudly.  5:39 When he
entered he said to them, “Why are you distressed and weeping?
The child is not dead but asleep.”  5:40 And they began making
fun of him. But he put them all outside and he took the child’s
father and mother and his own companions and went into the
room where the child was.  5:41 Then, gently taking the child by
the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little
girl, I say to you, get up.”  5:42 The girl got up at once and began
to walk around (she was twelve years old). They were completely
astonished at this.  5:43 He strictly ordered that no one should
know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
Mark 5:21-43
 5:21 When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a
large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.  5:22 Then
a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue,
came up. Falling at Jesus’ feet, he pleaded with him
to come to his house,  8:42 because he had an only
daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying.
As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed around
him.  8:43 Now a woman was there who had been
suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but
could not be healed by anyone.  8:44 She came up
behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and
at once the bleeding stopped.  8:45 Then Jesus asked,
“Who was it who touched me?” When they all denied
it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding
you and pressing against you!”  8:46 But Jesus said,
“Someone touched me, for I know that power has
gone out from me.”  8:47 When the woman saw that
she could not escape notice, she came trembling
and fell down before him. In the presence of all the
people, she explained why she had touched him and
how she had been immediately healed.  8:48 Then
he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you
well. Go in peace.”  8:49 While he was still speaking,
someone from the synagogue ruler’s house came
and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble
the teacher any longer.”  8:50 But when Jesus heard
this, he told him, “Do not be afraid; just believe,
and she will be healed.”  8:51 Now when he came to
the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him
except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father
and mother.  8:52 Now they were all wailing and
mourning for her, but he said, “Stop your weeping;
she is not dead but asleep.”  8:53 And they began
making fun of him, because they knew that she was
dead.  8:54 But Jesus gently took her by the hand
and said, “Child, get up.”  8:55 Her spirit returned,
and she got up immediately. Then he told them to
give her something to eat.  8:56 Her parents were
astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what
had happened.
 8:40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed
him, because they were all waiting for him.  8:41 Then

followed him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of
David!”  9:28 When he went into the house, the blind men
came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am
able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”  9:29 Then he
touched their eyes saying, “Let it be done for you according
to your faith.”  9:30 And their eyes were opened. Then
Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about
this.”  9:31 But they went out and spread the news about him
throughout that entire region.  20:29 As they were leaving
Jericho, a large crowd followed them.  20:30 Two blind men
were sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was
passing by, they shouted, “Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of
David!”  20:31 The crowd scolded them to get them to be
quiet. But they shouted even more loudly, “Lord, have mercy
on us, Son of David!”  20:32 Jesus stopped, called them, and
said, “What do you want me to do for you?”  20:33 They said
to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.”  20:34 Moved with
compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they
received their sight and followed him.
 9:27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men
and his disciples and a large crowd were
leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus the son of
Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the
road.  10:47 When he heard that it was Jesus
the Nazarene, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son
of David, have mercy on me!”  10:48 Many
scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he
shouted all the more, “Son of David, have
mercy on me!”  10:49 Jesus stopped and said,
“Call him.” So they called the blind man and
said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is
calling you.”  10:50 He threw off his cloak,
jumped up, and came to Jesus.  10:51 Then
Jesus said to him, “What do you want me
to do for you?” The blind man replied,
“Rabbi, let me see again.”  10:52 Jesus said
to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.”
Immediately he regained his sight and
followed him on the road.

told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing
by.”  18:38 So he called out, “Jesus, Son of
David, have mercy on me!”  18:39 And those
who were in front scolded him to get him to
be quiet, but he shouted even more, “Son
of David, have mercy on me!”  18:40 So
Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar to be
brought to him. When the man came near,
Jesus asked him,  18:41 “What do you want
me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, let
me see again.”  18:42 Jesus said to him,
“Receive your sight; your faith has healed
you.”  18:43 And immediately he regained
his sight and followed Jesus, praising God.
When all the people saw it, they too gave
praise to God.

these are the names of the twelve apostles: first,

Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;  10:4 Simon
the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed
him.  10:5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them
as follows: “Do not go to Gentile regions and do not
enter any Samaritan town.  10:6 Go instead to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.  10:7 As you go, preach this
message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near!’  10:8 Heal

worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy,
let your peace return to you.  10:14 And if anyone will
not welcome you or listen to your message, shake

town.  10:15 I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable

he named apostles), so that they would
be with him and he could send them

Peter;  3:17 to James and his brother
John, the sons of Zebedee, he gave
the name Boanerges (that is, “sons of
thunder”);  3:18 and Andrew, Philip,
Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas,
James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus,
Simon the Zealot,  3:19 and Judas
Iscariot, who betrayed him.  6:8 He
instructed them to take nothing for the
journey except a staff—no bread, no
bag, no money in their belts—  6:9 and
to put on sandals but not to wear
two tunics.  6:10 He said to them,
“Wherever you enter a house, stay

also named apostles:  6:14 Simon

them out to proclaim the kingdom
of God and to heal the sick.  9:3 He

bread, no money, and do not take
an extra tunic.  9:4 Whatever house
you enter, stay there until you leave

before kings and governors because

Therefore be resolved not to rehearse

in Bethany at the house of
Simon the leper,  26:7 a
woman came to him with an
alabaster jar of expensive
perfumed oil, and she
poured it on his head as he
was at the table.  26:8 When
the disciples saw this,
they became indignant
and said, “Why this
waste?  26:9 It could have
been sold at a high price
and the money given to
the poor!”  26:10 When
Jesus learned of this, he
said to them, “Why are you
bothering this woman? She
has done a good service
for me.  26:11 For you will
always have the poor with
you, but you will not always
have me!  26:12 When she
poured this oil on my body,
she did it to prepare me for
burial.  26:13 I tell you the
truth, wherever this gospel
is proclaimed in the whole
world, what she has done
will also be told in memory
of her.”
 26:6 Now while Jesus was
Bethany at the house of Simon
the leper, reclining at the table,
a woman came with an alabaster
jar of costly aromatic oil from
pure nard. After breaking open
the jar, she poured it on his
head.  14:4 But some who were
present indignantly said to one
another, “Why this waste of
expensive ointment?  14:5 It
could have been sold for more
than three hundred silver coins
and the money given to the
poor!” So they spoke angrily
to her.  14:6 But Jesus said,
“Leave her alone. Why are you
bothering her? She has done a
good service for me.  14:7 For
you will always have the poor
with you, and you can do good
for them whenever you want.
But you will not always have
me!  14:8 She did what she
could. She anointed my body
beforehand for burial.  14:9 I

with him, so he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his
place at the table.  7:37 Then when a woman of that town, who
was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the Pharisee’s
house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.  7:38 As
she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet
his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed
them, and anointed them with the perfumed oil.  7:39 Now
when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to
himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who and
what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a
sinner.”  7:40 So Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something
to say to you.” He replied, “Say it, Teacher.”  7:41 “A certain
creditor had two debtors; one owed him five hundred silver
coins, and the other fifty.  7:42 When they could not pay, he
canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him
more?”  7:43 Simon answered, “I suppose the one who had the
bigger debt canceled.” Jesus said to him, “You have judged
rightly.”  7:44 Then, turning toward the woman, he said to
Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You
gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her
tears and wiped them with her hair.  7:45 You gave me no kiss of
greeting, but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing
my feet.  7:46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has
anointed my feet with perfumed oil.  7:47 Therefore I tell you,
her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much;
but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”  7:48 Then Jesus
said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”  7:49 But those who were
at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who
is this, who even forgives sins?”  7:50 He said to the woman,
“Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

they prepared a dinner for Jesus
there. Martha was serving, and
Lazarus was among those present
at the table with him.  12:3 Then
Mary took three quarters of a
pound of expensive aromatic oil
from pure nard and anointed the
feet of Jesus. She then wiped his
feet dry with her hair. (Now the
house was filled with the fragrance
of the perfumed oil.)  12:4 But
Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples
(the one who was going to betray
him) said,  12:5 “Why wasn’t this
oil sold for three hundred silver
coins and the money given to the
poor?”  12:6 (Now Judas said this
not because he was concerned
about the poor, but because he was
a thief. As keeper of the money
box, he used to steal what was put
into it.)  12:7 So Jesus said, “Leave
her alone. She has kept it for the
day of my burial.  12:8 For you will
always have the poor with you, but
you will not always have me!”

and said, “Could this one be the Son of
David?”  12:24 But when the Pharisees heard
this they said, “He does not cast out demons
except by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of
demons!”  12:25 Now when Jesus realized what
they were thinking, he said to them, “Every
kingdom divided against itself is destroyed,
and no town or house divided against itself
will stand.  12:26 So if Satan casts out Satan,
he is divided against himself. How then will
his kingdom stand?  12:27 And if I cast out
demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons
cast them out? For this reason they will be your
judges.  12:28 But if I cast out demons by the
Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has
already overtaken you.  12:29 How else can
someone enter a strong man’s house and steal
his property, unless he first ties up the strong
man? Then he can thoroughly plunder the
house.  12:30 Whoever is not with me is against
me, and whoever does not gather with me
scatters.  9:32 As they were going away, a man
who could not talk and was demon-possessed
was brought to him.  9:33 After the demon was
cast out, the man who had been mute spoke.
The crowds were amazed and said, “Never has
anything like this been seen in Israel!”  9:34 But
the Pharisees said, “By the ruler of demons he
casts out demons.”
 12:22 Then they brought to him a demon-
came down from Jerusalem said,
“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and,
“By the ruler of demons he casts out
demons.”  3:23 So he called them
and spoke to them in parables: “How
can Satan cast out Satan?  3:24 If a
kingdom is divided against itself,
that kingdom will not be able to
stand.  3:25 If a house is divided
against itself, that house will not
be able to stand.  3:26 And if Satan
rises against himself and is divided,
he is not able to stand and his end
has come.  3:27 But no one is able to
enter a strong man’s house and steal
his property unless he first ties up the
strong man. Then he can thoroughly
plunder his house.

some of them said, “By the power
of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, he
casts out demons.”  11:17 But Jesus,
realizing their thoughts, said to them,
“Every kingdom divided against itself
is destroyed, and a divided household
falls.  11:18 So if Satan too is divided
against himself, how will his kingdom
stand? I ask you this because you
claim that I cast out demons by
Beelzebul.  11:19 Now if I cast out
demons by Beelzebul, by whom do
your sons cast them out? Therefore
they will be your judges.  11:20 But
if I cast out demons by the finger of
God, then the kingdom of God has
already overtaken you.  11:21 When
a strong man, fully armed, guards
his own palace, his possessions are
safe.  11:22 But when a stronger man
attacks and conquers him, he takes
away the first man’s armor on which
the man relied and divides up his

the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be

Son of Man will be forgiven. But whoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either
in this age or in the age to come.  12:33 “Make a tree
good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad
and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its
fruit.  12:34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able
to say anything good, since you are evil? For the
mouth speaks from what fills the heart.  12:35 The
good person brings good things out of his good
treasury, and the evil person brings evil things out
of his evil treasury.  12:36 I tell you that on the day
of judgment, people will give an account for every
worthless word they speak.  12:37 For by your
words you will be justified, and by your words
you will be condemned.”  7:16 You will recognize
them by their fruit. Grapes are not gathered from
thorns or figs from thistles, are they?  7:17 In the
same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but
the bad tree bears bad fruit.  7:18 A good tree is not
able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good
fruit.  7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into the fire.  7:20 So then,
you will recognize them by their fruit.

he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the
birds came and devoured them.  13:5 Other seeds
fell on rocky ground where they did not have

seeds fell among the thorns, and they grew up and
choked them.  13:8 But other seeds fell on good
soil and produced grain, some a hundred times as
much, some sixty, and some thirty.  13:9 The one
who has ears had better listen!”

kingdom of heaven, but they have not.  13:12 For whoever
has will be given more, and will have an abundance. But
whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken
from him.  13:13 For this reason I speak to them in parables:
Although they see they do not see, and although they
hear they do not hear nor do they understand.  13:14 And
concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that
says: ‘You will listen carefully yet will never understand,
you will look closely yet will never comprehend.  13:15 For
the heart of this people has become dull; they are hard
of hearing, and they have shut their eyes, so that they
would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and
understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal
them.’ 1  13:16 “But your eyes are blessed because they see,
and your ears because they hear.  13:17 For I tell you the
truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see
what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear
but did not hear it.
 13:10 Then the disciples came to him and said, “Why do
you speak to them in parables?”  13:11 He replied, “You
said to them, “Why are you arguing
about having no bread? Do you still not
see or understand? Have your hearts been
hardened?  8:18 Though you have eyes,

listen carefully, for whoever has

thinks he has will be taken from

would be fulfilled. He said, “Lord,

could not believe, because again Isaiah

the evil one comes and snatches what was sown
in his heart; this is the seed sown along the
path.  13:20 The seed sown on rocky ground is
the person who hears the word and immediately
receives it with joy.  13:21 But he has no root
in himself and does not endure; when trouble
or persecution comes because of the word,
immediately he falls away.  13:22 The seed sown
among thorns is the person who hears the word,

choke the word, so it produces nothing.  13:23 But
as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the
person who hears the word and understands. He
bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty
times what was sown.”

sower:  13:19 When anyone hears the word
the ones who have heard; then the devil comes
and takes away the word from their hearts, so that
they may not believe and be saved.  8:13 Those
on the rock are the ones who receive the word
with joy when they hear it, but they have no root.
They believe for a while, but in a time of testing
fall away.  8:14 As for the seed that fell among
thorns, these are the ones who hear, but as they
go on their way they are choked by the worries
and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit
does not mature.  8:15 But as for the seed that
landed on good soil, these are the ones who,
after hearing the word, cling to it with an honest
and good heart, and bear fruit with steadfast
endurance.
Luke 8:11-15
 8:11 “Now the parable means this: The seed is
the word of God.  8:12 Those along the path are
to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? Isn’t
it to be placed on a lampstand?  4:22 For nothing is
hidden except to be revealed, and nothing concealed
except to be brought to light.  4:23 If anyone has
ears to hear, he had better listen!”  4:24 And he
said to them, “Take care about what you hear. The
measure you use will be the measure you receive,
and more will be added to you.  4:25 For whoever
has will be given more, but whoever does not have,
even what he has will be taken from him.”
 4:21 He also said to them, “A lamp isn’t brought

with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a
lampstand so that those who come in can see the
light.  8:17 For nothing is hidden that will not be

made known and brought to light.  8:18 So listen
carefully, for whoever has will be given more,
but whoever does not have, even what he thinks
he has will be taken from him.”

parable?  4:14 The sower sows the word.  4:15 These
are the ones on the path where the word is sown:
Whenever they hear, immediately Satan comes and
snatches the word that was sown in them.  4:16 These
are the ones sown on rocky ground: As soon as they
hear the word, they receive it with joy.  4:17 But
they have no root in themselves and do not endure.
Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of
the word, immediately they fall away.  4:18 Others
are the ones sown among thorns: They are those
who hear the word,  4:19 but worldly cares, the
seductiveness of wealth, and the desire for other
things come in and choke the word, and it produces

kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that
a man took and sowed in his field.  13:32 It
is the smallest of all the seeds, but when
it has grown it is the greatest garden plant
and becomes a tree, so that the wild birds
come and nest in its branches.”
 13:31 He gave them another parable: “The
kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present
it?  4:31 It is like a mustard seed that when sown in the
ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in
the ground—  4:32 when it is sown, it grows up, becomes

but then gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
 13:24 He presented them with another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.  13:25 But
while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.  13:26 When the plants sprouted
and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.  13:27 So the slaves of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed
in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’  13:28 He said, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the slaves replied, ‘Do you want
us to go and gather them?’  13:29 But he said, ‘No, since in gathering the weeds you may uproot the wheat with them.  13:30 Let both

the head, then the full grain in the head.  4:29 And when the grain is ripe, he sends in the sickle because the harvest has come.”

side, to the region of the Gadarenes,
two demon-possessed men coming
from the tombs met him. They were
extremely violent, so that no one was
able to pass by that way.  8:29 They
cried out, “Son of God, leave us
alone! Have you come here to
torment us before the time?”  8:30 A
large herd of pigs was feeding some
distance from them.  8:31 Then the
demons begged him, “If you drive
us out, send us into the herd of
pigs.”  8:32 And he said, “Go!” So
they came out and went into the pigs,
and the herd rushed down the steep
slope into the lake and drowned in
the water.  8:33 The herdsmen ran
off, went into the town, and told
everything that had happened to the
demon-possessed men.  8:34 Then
the entire town came out to meet
Jesus. And when they saw him, they
begged him to leave their region.
 8:28 When he came to the other
boat, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs
and met him.  5:3 He lived among the tombs, and no one
could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.  5:4 For
his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and
shackles, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the
shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue
him.  5:5 Each night and every day among the tombs
and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself
with stones.  5:6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he
ran and bowed down before him.  5:7 Then he cried out
with a loud voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the
Most High God! I implore you by God—do not torment
me!”  5:8 (For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of that
man, you unclean spirit!”)  5:9 Jesus asked him, “What
is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion, for
we are many.”  5:10 He begged Jesus repeatedly not to
send them out of the region.  5:11 There on the hillside,
a great herd of pigs was feeding.  5:12 And the demonic
spirits begged him, “Send us into the pigs. Let us enter
them.”  5:13 Jesus gave them permission. So the unclean
spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd
rushed down the steep slope into the lake, and about
two thousand were drowned in the lake.  5:14 Now the
herdsmen ran off and spread the news in the town and
countryside, and the people went out to see what had
happened.  5:15 They came to Jesus and saw the demonpossessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right
mind—the one who had the “Legion”—and they were
afraid.  5:16 Those who had seen what had happened to
the demon-possessed man reported it, and they also told
about the pigs.  5:17 Then they asked Jesus to leave their
region.  5:18 As he was getting into the boat the man who
had been demon-possessed asked if he could go with
him.  5:19 But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead,
he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people
and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he
had mercy on you.”  5:20 So he went away and began to
proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him,
and all were amazed.
Mark 5:1-20
 5:1 So they came to the other side of the lake, to the region
of the Gerasenes.  5:2 Just as Jesus was getting out of the
ashore, a certain man from the town met him who
was possessed by demons. For a long time this man
had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but
among the tombs.  8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried
out, fell down before him, and shouted with a loud
voice, “Leave me alone, Jesus, Son of the Most High
God! I beg you, do not torment me!”  8:29 For Jesus had
started commanding the evil spirit to come out of the
man. (For it had seized him many times, so he would
be bound with chains and shackles and kept under
guard. But he would break the restraints and be driven
by the demon into deserted places.)  8:30 Jesus then
asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,”
because many demons had entered him.  8:31 And they
began to beg him not to order them to depart into the
abyss.  8:32 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there
on the hillside, and the demonic spirits begged Jesus to
let them go into them. He gave them permission.  8:33 So
the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs,
and the herd of pigs rushed down the steep slope into
the lake and drowned.  8:34 When the herdsmen saw
what had happened, they ran off and spread the news
in the town and countryside.  8:35 So the people went
out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus.
They found the man from whom the demons had gone
out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind,
and they were afraid.  8:36 Those who had seen it told
them how the man who had been demon-possessed had
been healed.  8:37 Then all the people of the Gerasenes
and the surrounding region asked Jesus to leave them
alone, for they were seized with great fear. So he got
into the boat and left.  8:38 The man from whom the
demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus
sent him away, saying,  8:39 “Return to your home, and
declare what God has done for you.” So he went away,
proclaiming throughout the whole town what Jesus had
done for him.
 8:26 So they sailed over to the region of the Gerasenes,
which is opposite Galilee.  8:27 As Jesus stepped

a ruler came, bowed low before him,
and said, “My daughter has just died,
but come and lay your hand on her
and she will live.”  9:19 Jesus and
his disciples got up and followed
him.  9:20 But a woman who had
been suffering from a hemorrhage
for twelve years came up behind
him and touched the edge of his
cloak.  9:21 For she kept saying to
herself, “If only I touch his cloak, I
will be healed.”  9:22 But when Jesus
turned and saw her he said, “Have
courage, daughter! Your faith has
made you well.” And the woman was
healed from that hour.  9:23 When
Jesus entered the ruler’s house
and saw the flute players and the
disorderly crowd,  9:24 he said, “Go
away, for the girl is not dead but
asleep.” And they began making fun
of him.  9:25 But when the crowd
had been put outside, he went in and
gently took her by the hand, and the
girl got up.  9:26 And the news of this
spread throughout that region.
 9:18 As he was saying these things,
side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the
sea.  5:22 Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus,
came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.  5:23 He
asked him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Come
and lay your hands on her so that she may be healed and
live.”  5:24 Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed
and pressed around him.  5:25 Now a woman was there who had
been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years.  5:26 She
had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and
had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew
worse.  5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind
him in the crowd and touched his cloak,  5:28 for she kept
saying, “If only I touch his clothes, I will be healed.”  5:29 At
once the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was
healed of her disease.  5:30 Jesus knew at once that power had
gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said,
“Who touched my clothes?”  5:31 His disciples said to him,
“You see the crowd pressing against you and you say, ‘Who
touched me?’”  5:32 But he looked around to see who had done
it.  5:33 Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing
what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and
told him the whole truth.  5:34 He said to her, “Daughter, your
faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your
disease.”  5:35 While he was still speaking, people came from
the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter has died.
Why trouble the teacher any longer?”  5:36 But Jesus, paying
no attention to what was said, told the synagogue ruler, “Do not
be afraid; just believe.”  5:37 He did not let anyone follow him
except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.  5:38 They
came to the house of the synagogue ruler where he saw noisy
confusion and people weeping and wailing loudly.  5:39 When
he entered he said to them, “Why are you distressed and
weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”  5:40 And they
began making fun of him. But he put them all outside and he
took the child’s father and mother and his own companions
and went into the room where the child was.  5:41 Then, gently
taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,”
which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”  5:42 The girl
got up at once and began to walk around (she was twelve years
old). They were completely astonished at this.  5:43 He strictly
ordered that no one should know about this, and told them to
give her something to eat.
Mark 5:21-43
 5:21 When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other
welcomed him, because they were all waiting
for him.  8:41 Then a man named Jairus, who
was a ruler of the synagogue, came up. Falling
at Jesus’ feet, he pleaded with him to come to
his house,  8:42 because he had an only daughter,
about twelve years old, and she was dying. As
Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed around
him.  8:43 Now a woman was there who had been
suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but
could not be healed by anyone.  8:44 She came up
behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak,
and at once the bleeding stopped.  8:45 Then
Jesus asked, “Who was it who touched me?”
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the
crowds are surrounding you and pressing against
you!”  8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched
me, for I know that power has gone out from
me.”  8:47 When the woman saw that she could not
escape notice, she came trembling and fell down
before him. In the presence of all the people, she
explained why she had touched him and how she
had been immediately healed.  8:48 Then he said
to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.
Go in peace.”  8:49 While he was still speaking,
someone from the synagogue ruler’s house came
and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble
the teacher any longer.”  8:50 But when Jesus
heard this, he told him, “Do not be afraid; just
believe, and she will be healed.”  8:51 Now when
he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone
go in with him except Peter, John, and James,
and the child’s father and mother.  8:52 Now
they were all wailing and mourning for her, but
he said, “Stop your weeping; she is not dead but
asleep.”  8:53 And they began making fun of him,
because they knew that she was dead.  8:54 But
Jesus gently took her by the hand and said,
“Child, get up.”  8:55 Her spirit returned, and
she got up immediately. Then he told them to
give her something to eat.  8:56 Her parents were
astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one
what had happened.

140. Second Journey (to Jerusalem)
Luke 4:16-30
 4:16 Now Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up,
and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom.
He stood up to read,  4:17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was
given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was
written,  4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has
anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to
proclaim release to the captives and the regaining of sight to the blind,
to set free those who are oppressed,  4:19 to proclaim the year of the
Lord’s favor.” 1  4:20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the
attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were
fixed on him.  4:21 Then he began to tell them, “Today this scripture has
been fulfilled even as you heard it being read.”  4:22 All were speaking
well of him, and were amazed at the gracious words coming out of his
mouth. They said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”  4:23 Jesus said to them, “No
doubt you will quote to me the proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ and
say, ‘What we have heard that you did in Capernaum, do here in your
hometown too.’”  4:24 And he added, “I tell you the truth, no prophet
is acceptable in his hometown.  4:25 But in truth I tell you, there were
many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the sky was shut up three
and a half years, and there was a great famine over all the land.  4:26 Yet
Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow
at Zarephath in Sidon.  4:27 And there were many lepers in Israel in
the time of the prophet Elisha, yet none of them was cleansed except
Naaman the Syrian.”  4:28 When they heard this, all the people in the
synagogue were filled with rage.  4:29 They got up, forced him out of the
town, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was
built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.  4:30 But he passed
through the crowd and went on his way.

 6:1 Now Jesus left that place

him were astonished, saying,
“Where did he get these ideas?
And what is this wisdom that
has been given to him? What
are these miracles that are done
through his hands?  6:3 Isn’t
this the carpenter, the son of
Mary and brother of James,
Joses, Judas, and Simon? And
aren’t his sisters here with us?”
And so they took offense at
him.  6:4 Then Jesus said to
them, “A prophet is not without
honor except in his hometown,
and among his relatives, and in
his own house.”  6:5 He was not
able to do a miracle there, except
to lay his hands on a few sick
people and heal them.  6:6 And
he was amazed because of their
unbelief. Then he went around
among the villages and taught.

 13:53 Now when Jesus
finished these parables,
he moved on from
there.  13:54 Then he
came to his hometown
and began to teach the
people in their synagogue.
They were astonished
and said, “Where did
this
man
get
such
wisdom and miraculous
powers?  13:55 Isn’t this
the carpenter’s son? Isn’t
his mother named Mary?
And aren’t his brothers
James, Joseph, Simon,

aren’t all his sisters here
with us? Where did he get
all this?”  13:57 And so
they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is not without
honor except in his
hometown and in his own
house.”  13:58 And he did
not do many miracles there
because of their unbelief.

 5:2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool called Bethzatha in Aramaic, which has five covered walkways.  5:3 A great
number of sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying in these walkways. [“waiting for the moving of the water.]  5:4 [For
an angel of the Lord went down and stirred up the water at certain times. Whoever first stepped in after the stirring of the water was
healed from whatever disease which he suffered.”]  5:5 Now a man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years.  5:6 When
Jesus saw him lying there and when he realized that the man had been disabled a long time already, he said to him, “Do you want
to become well?”  5:7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I
am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me.”  5:8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your mat and
walk.”  5:9 Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and started walking. (Now that day was a Sabbath.)  5:10 So
the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”  5:11 But he
answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”  5:12 They asked him, “Who is the man who
said to you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?”  5:13 But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped
out, since there was a crowd in that place.  5:14 After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become
well. Don’t sin any more, lest anything worse happen to you.”  5:15 The man went away and informed the Jewish leaders that Jesus
was the one who had made him well.  5:16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began
persecuting him.  5:17 So he told them, “My Father is working until now, and I too am working.”  5:18 For this reason the Jewish
leaders were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own
Father, thus making himself equal with God.  5:19 So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on
his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.  5:20 For the Father
loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.  5:21 For
just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.  5:22 Furthermore, the Father
does not judge anyone, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,  5:23 so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the
Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.  5:24 “I tell you the solemn truth, the one who
hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to
life.  5:25 I tell you the solemn truth, a time is coming—and is now here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and
those who hear will live.  5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself,  5:27 and
he has granted the Son authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.  5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, because a time
is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice  5:29 and will come out—the ones who have done what is good to the
resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.  5:30 I can do
nothing on my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of
the one who sent me.  5:31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.  5:32 There is another who testifies about me, and I
know the testimony he testifies about me is true.  5:33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.  5:34 (I do not accept
human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)  5:35 He was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to
rejoice greatly for a short time in his light.  5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father
has assigned me to complete—the deeds I am now doing—testify about me that the Father has sent me.  5:37 And the Father who
sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,  5:38 nor do you have
his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.  5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly because you
think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me,  5:40 but you are not willing to come to
me so that you may have life.  5:41 “I do not accept praise from people,  5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God
within you.  5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will
accept him.  5:44 How can you believe, if you accept praise from one another and don’t seek the praise that comes from the only
God?  5:45 “Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed
your hope.  5:46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.  5:47 But if you do not believe what
Moses wrote, how will you believe my words?”

a banquet on his birthday for his court officials, military commanders, and
leaders of Galilee.  6:22 When his daughter Herodias came in and danced,
she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask
me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”  6:23 He swore to her,

went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” Her mother said,

he went away from there privately
in a boat to an isolated place. But
when the crowd heard about it,
they followed him on foot from
the towns.  14:14 As he got out he
saw the large crowd, and he had
compassion on them and healed
their sick.  14:15 When evening
arrived, his disciples came to him
saying, “This is an isolated place
and the hour is already late. Send
the crowds away so that they
can go into the villages and buy
food for themselves.”  14:16 But
he replied, “They don’t need to
go. You give them something to
eat.”  14:17 They said to him, “We
have here only five loaves and two
fish.”  14:18 “Bring them here to
me,” he replied.  14:19 Then he
instructed the crowds to sit down
on the grass. He took the five
loaves and two fish, and looking
up to heaven he gave thanks and
broke the loaves. He gave them
to the disciples, who in turn gave
them to the crowds.  14:20 They
all ate and were satisfied, and
they picked up the broken
pieces left over, twelve baskets
full.  14:21 Not counting women
and children, there were about
five thousand men who ate.
 14:13 Now when Jesus heard this
many saw them leaving and recognized
them, and they hurried on foot from
all the towns and arrived there ahead
of them.  6:34 As Jesus came ashore
he saw the large crowd and he had
compassion on them, because they were
like sheep without a shepherd. So he
taught them many things.  6:35 When it
was already late, his disciples came to
him and said, “This is an isolated place
and it is already very late.  6:36 Send
them away so that they can go into the
surrounding countryside and villages
and buy something for themselves to
eat.”  6:37 But he answered them, “You
give them something to eat.” And they
said, “Should we go and buy bread for
two hundred silver coins and give it
to them to eat?”  6:38 He said to them,
“How many loaves do you have? Go
and see.” When they found out, they
said, “Five—and two fish.”  6:39 Then
he directed them all to sit down in
groups on the green grass.  6:40 So
they reclined in groups of hundreds and
fifties.  6:41 He took the five loaves and
the two fish, and looking up to heaven,
he gave thanks and broke the loaves.
He gave them to his disciples to serve
the people, and he divided the two fish
among them all.  6:42 They all ate and
were satisfied,  6:43 and they picked
up the broken pieces and fish that were
left over, twelve baskets full.  6:44 Now
there were five thousand men who ate
the bread.
Mark 6:32-44
 6:32 So they went away by themselves
in a boat to some remote place.  6:33 But
they told Jesus everything they
had done. Then he took them with
him and they withdrew privately to
a town called Bethsaida.  9:11 But
when the crowds found out, they
followed him. He welcomed them,
spoke to them about the kingdom of
God, and cured those who needed
healing.  9:12 Now the day began
to draw to a close, so the twelve
came and said to Jesus, “Send
the crowd away, so they can go
into the surrounding villages and
countryside and find lodging and
food, because we are in an isolated
place.”  9:13 But he said to them,
“You give them something to eat.”
They replied, “We have no more
than five loaves and two fish—
unless we go and buy food for all
these people.”  9:14 (Now about
five thousand men were there.)
Then he said to his disciples,
“Have them sit down in groups of
about fifty each.”  9:15 So they did
as Jesus directed, and the people
all sat down.  9:16 Then he took
the five loaves and the two fish,
and looking up to heaven he gave
thanks and broke them. He gave
them to the disciples to set before
the crowd.  9:17 They all ate and
were satisfied, and what was left
over was picked up—twelve
baskets of broken pieces.

of the Sea of Galilee (also called the Sea of
Tiberias).  6:2 A large crowd was following him
because they were observing the miraculous signs
he was performing on the sick.  6:3 So Jesus went
on up the mountainside and sat down there with
his disciples.  6:4 (Now the Jewish feast of the
Passover was near.)  6:5 Then Jesus, when he
looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming
to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread
so that these people may eat?”  6:6 (Now Jesus
said this to test him, for he knew what he was
going to do.)  6:7 Philip replied, “Two hundred
silver coins worth of bread would not be enough
for them, for each one to get a little.”  6:8 One of
Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,
said to him,  6:9 “Here is a boy who has five barley
loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so
many people?”  6:10 Jesus said, “Have the people
sit down.” (Now there was a lot of grass in that
place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand
in number.  6:11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and
when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread
to those who were seated. He then did the same
with the fish, as much as they wanted.  6:12 When
they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples,
“Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so
that nothing is wasted.”  6:13 So they gathered them
up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces
from the five barley loaves left over by the people
who had eaten.  6:14 Now when the people saw the
miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began
to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet
who is to come into the world.” 1  6:15 Then Jesus,
because he knew they were going to come and
seize him by force to make him king, withdrew
again up the mountainside alone.

there alone.  14:24 Meanwhile the boat, already far
from land, was taking a beating from the waves
because the wind was against it.  14:25 As the
night was ending, Jesus came to them walking
on the sea.  14:26 When the disciples saw him
walking on the water they were terrified and said,
“It’s a ghost!” and cried out with fear.  14:27 But
immediately Jesus spoke to them: “Have courage!
It is I. Do not be afraid.”  14:28 Peter said to him,
“Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the
water.”  14:29 So he said, “Come.” Peter got out of
the boat, walked on the water, and came toward
Jesus.  14:30 But when he saw the strong wind he
became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out,
“Lord, save me!”  14:31 Immediately Jesus reached
out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of
little faith, why did you doubt?”  14:32 When they
went up into the boat, the wind ceased.  14:33 Then
those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying,
“Truly you are the Son of God.”
they got out of the boat, people immediately
recognized Jesus.  6:55 They ran through that
whole region and began to bring the sick on mats
to wherever he was rumored to be.  6:56 And
wherever he would go—into villages, towns, or
countryside—they would place the sick in the
marketplaces, and would ask him if they could
just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who
touched it were healed.
 6:53 After they had crossed over, they came to
land at Gennesaret and anchored there.  6:54 As

other side of the lake realized that only one small
boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded
it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone
away alone.  6:23 But some boats from Tiberias
came to shore near the place where they had eaten
the bread after the Lord had given thanks.  6:24 So
when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his
disciples were there, they got into the boats and
came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.  6:25 When
they found him on the other side of the lake, they
said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

 6:16 Now when evening came, his disciples went
down to the lake,  6:17 got into a boat, and started
to cross the lake to Capernaum. (It had already
become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to
them.)  6:18 By now a strong wind was blowing
and the sea was getting rough.  6:19 Then,
when they had rowed about three or four
miles, they caught sight of Jesus walking on
the lake, approaching the boat, and they were
frightened.  6:20 But he said to them, “It is I. Do
not be afraid.”  6:21 Then they wanted to take
him into the boat, and immediately the boat came
to the land where they had been heading.

Mark 6:45-52
 6:45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples
get into the boat and go on ahead to the other
side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the
crowd.  6:46 After saying good-bye to them,
he went to the mountain to pray.  6:47 When
evening came, the boat was in the middle of the
sea and he was alone on the land.  6:48 He saw
them straining at the oars, because the wind
was against them. As the night was ending,
he came to them walking on the sea, for he
wanted to pass by them.  6:49 When they saw
him walking on the water they thought he was
a ghost. They cried out,  6:50 for they all saw
him and were terrified. But immediately he
spoke to them: “Have courage! It is I. Do not be
afraid.”  6:51 Then he went up with them into the
boat, and the wind ceased. They were completely
astonished,  6:52 because they did not understand
about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

is the will of the one who sent me—that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last
day.  6:40 For this is the will of my Father—for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will
raise him up at the last day.”  6:41 Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the
bread that came down from heaven,”  6:42 and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How
can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”  6:43 Jesus replied, “Do not complain about me to one another.  6:44 No one can
come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.  6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And
they will all be taught by God.’ 2 Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.  6:46 (Not that anyone has seen the
Father except the one who is from God—he has seen the Father.)  6:47 I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal
life.  6:48 I am the bread of life.  6:49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.  6:50 This is the bread that has
come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.  6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If
anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”  6:52 Then the Jews
who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”  6:53 Jesus said to them, “I
tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.  6:54 The
one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.  6:55 For my flesh is true food,
and my blood is true drink.  6:56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.  6:57 Just as the
living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.  6:58 This is the bread
that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live
forever.”  6:59 Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
 6:26 Jesus replied, “I tell you the solemn truth, you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate
all the loaves of bread you wanted.  6:27 Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life—the
food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”  6:28 So then they said to
him, “What must we do to accomplish the deeds God requires?”  6:29 Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires—to believe in
the one whom he sent.”  6:30 So they said to him, “Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe
you? What will you do?  6:31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven
to eat.’” 1  6:32 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my
Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.  6:33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life
to the world.”  6:34 So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time!”  6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The
one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.  6:36 But I told you that you have
seen me and still do not believe.  6:37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will
never send away.  6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.  6:39 Now this

your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders?
For they don’t wash their hands when they
eat.”  15:3 He answered them, “And why do you
disobey the commandment of God because of your
tradition?  15:4 For God said, ‘Honor your father
and mother’ 1 and ‘Whoever insults his father or
mother must be put to death.’ 2  15:5 But you say,
‘If someone tells his father or mother, “Whatever
help you would have received from me is given to
God,”  15:6 he does not need to honor his father.’
You have nullified the word of God on account of
your tradition.  15:7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied
correctly about you when he said,  15:8 ‘This
people honors me with their lips, but their heart
is far from me,  15:9 and they worship me in
vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments
of men.’” 3  15:10 Then he called the crowd to
him and said, “Listen and understand.  15:11 What
defiles a person is not what goes into the mouth;
it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a
person.”  15:12 Then the disciples came to him
and said, “Do you know that when the Pharisees
heard this saying they were offended?”  15:13 And
he replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father
did not plant will be uprooted.  15:14 Leave them!
They are blind guides. If someone who is blind
leads another who is blind, both will fall into a
pit.”  15:15 But Peter said to him, “Explain this
parable to us.”  15:16 Jesus said, “Even after all
this, are you still so foolish?  15:17 Don’t you
understand that whatever goes into the mouth
enters the stomach and then passes out into the
sewer?  15:18 But the things that come out of
the mouth come from the heart, and these things
defile a person.  15:19 For out of the heart come
evil ideas, murder, adultery, sexual immorality,
theft, false testimony, slander.  15:20 These are
the things that defile a person; it is not eating with
unwashed hands that defiles a person.”
 15:1 Then Pharisees and experts in the law came
from Jerusalem to Jesus and said,  15:2 “Why do
that some of Jesus’ disciples ate their bread with unclean hands,
that is, unwashed.  7:3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do
not eat unless they perform a ritual washing, holding fast to
the tradition of the elders.  7:4 And when they come from the
marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast
to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and
dining couches.)  7:5 The Pharisees and the experts in the law
asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the
tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?”  7:6 He
said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites,
as it is written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me.  7:7 They worship me in vain, teaching as
doctrine the commandments of men.’ 3  7:8 Having no regard for
the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.”  7:9 He
also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God
in order to set up your tradition.  7:10 For Moses said, ‘Honor
your father and your mother,’ 1 and, ‘Whoever insults his
father or mother must be put to death.’ 2  7:11 But you say
that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you
would have received from me is corban’ (that is, a gift for
God),  7:12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his
father or mother.  7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your
tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things
like this.”  7:14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them,
“Listen to me, everyone, and understand.  7:15 There is nothing
outside of a person that can defile him by going into him. Rather,
it is what comes out of a person that defiles him.”  7:16 [“Let
anyone with ears to hear, listen.”]  7:17 Now when Jesus had
left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him
about the parable.  7:18 He said to them, “Are you so foolish?
Don’t you understand that whatever goes into a person from
outside cannot defile him?  7:19 For it does not enter his heart
but his stomach, and then goes out into the sewer.” (This means
all foods are clean.)  7:20 He said, “What comes out of a person
defiles him.  7:21 For from within, out of the human heart, come
evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,  7:22 adultery, greed,
evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly.  7:23 All
these evils come from within and defile a person.”
Mark 7:1-23
 7:1 Now the Pharisees and some of the experts in the law who
came from Jerusalem gathered around him.  7:2 And they saw
invited Jesus to have a meal with
him, so he went in and took his place
at the table.  11:38 The Pharisee was
astonished when he saw that Jesus
did not first wash his hands before
the meal.  11:39 But the Lord said
to him, “Now you Pharisees clean
the outside of the cup and the plate,
but inside you are full of greed
and wickedness.  11:40 You fools!
Didn’t the one who made the outside
make the inside as well?  11:41 But
give from your heart to those in
need, and then everything will be
clean for you.  6:39 He also told
them a parable: “Someone who is
blind cannot lead another who is
blind, can he? Won’t they both fall
into a pit?

many others. They laid them at his feet, and he healed them.  15:31 As
a result, the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking,
the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they
praised the God of Israel.
 15:29 When he left there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then
he went up a mountain, where he sat down.  15:30 Then large crowds

went into a house, he did not want anyone to know, but he was not able
to escape notice.  7:25 Instead, a woman whose young daughter had
an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell at
his feet.  7:26 The woman was a Greek, of Syrophoenician origin. She
asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter.  7:27 He said to her,
“Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children’s
bread and to throw it to the dogs.”  7:28 She answered, “Yes, Lord, but
even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”  7:29 Then he
said to her, “Because you said this, you may go. The demon has left
your daughter.”  7:30 She went home and found the child lying on the
bed, and the demon gone.

 7:24 After Jesus left there, he went to the region of Tyre. When he
came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee in the region of the
Decapolis.  7:32 They brought to him a deaf man who had difficulty
speaking, and they asked him to place his hands on him.  7:33 After
Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, he put his fingers
in the man’s ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue.  7:34 Then
he looked up to heaven and said with a sigh, “Ephphatha” (that is,
“Be opened”).  7:35 And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his
tongue loosened, and he spoke plainly.  7:36 Jesus ordered them not
to tell anything. But as much as he ordered them not to do this, they
proclaimed it all the more.  7:37 People were completely astounded
and said, “He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear
and the mute speak.”
 7:31 Then Jesus went out again from the region of Tyre and

demon-possessed!”  15:23 But he did not answer her a word. Then his
disciples came and begged him, “Send her away, because she keeps
on crying out after us.”  15:24 So he answered, “I was sent only to
the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”  15:25 But she came and bowed
down before him and said, “Lord, help me!”  15:26 “It is not right to
take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs,” he said.  15:27 “Yes,
Lord,” she replied, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from
their masters’ table.”  15:28 Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, your
faith is great! Let what you want be done for you.” And her daughter
was healed from that hour.

to test Jesus, they asked him to show them a sign
from heaven.  16:2 He said, “When evening comes
you say, ‘It will be fair weather, because the sky is
red,’  16:3 and in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today,
because the sky is red and darkening.’ You know
how to judge correctly the appearance of the sky, but
you cannot evaluate the signs of the times.  16:4 A
wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but
no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.”
Then he left them and went away.  12:38 Then some
of the experts in the law along with some Pharisees
answered him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from
you.”  12:39 But he answered them, “An evil and
adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will
be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

themselves, saying, “It is because we brought no

who have such little faith! Why are you arguing among
yourselves about having no bread?  16:9 Do you still
not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves

against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large
crowd met him.
Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James,
and went up the mountain to pray.  9:29 As he
was praying, the appearance of his face was
transformed, and his clothes became very bright,
a brilliant white.  9:30 Then two men, Moses
and Elijah, began talking with him.  9:31 They
appeared in glorious splendor and spoke about
his departure that he was about to carry out at
Jerusalem.  9:32 Now Peter and those with him
were quite sleepy, but as they became fully awake,
they saw his glory and the two men standing with
him.  9:33 Then as the men were starting to leave,
Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be
here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and
one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing
what he was saying.  9:34 As he was saying this,
a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they
were afraid as they entered the cloud.  9:35 Then
a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my
Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!”  9:36 After
the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone.

fear and threw themselves down with their
faces to the ground.  17:7 But Jesus came
and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Do
not be afraid.”  17:8 When they looked up,

and said, “Why couldn’t we cast

was because of your little faith.
I tell you the truth, if you have

amazed and ran at once and greeted him.  9:16 He asked
them, “What are you arguing about with them?”  9:17 A
member of the crowd said to him, “Teacher, I brought
you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that makes him
mute.  9:18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down,
and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes
rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they were not
able to do so.”  9:19 He answered them, “You unbelieving
generation! How much longer must I be with you? How
much longer must I endure you? Bring him to me.”  9:20 So
they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, it
immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell on the
ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.  9:21 Jesus
asked his father, “How long has this been happening to
him?” And he said, “From childhood.  9:22 It has often
thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if you
are able to do anything, have compassion on us and help
us.”  9:23 Then Jesus said to him, “‘If you are able?’All things
are possible for the one who believes.”  9:24 Immediately
the father of the boy cried out and said, “I believe; help
my unbelief!”  9:25 Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was
quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to
it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him
and never enter him again.”  9:26 It shrieked, threw him
into terrible convulsions, and came out. The boy looked so
much like a corpse that many said, “He is dead!”  9:27 But
Jesus gently took his hand and raised him to his feet, and
he stood up.  9:28 Then, after he went into the house, his
disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it

they had come down from the
mountain, a large crowd met
him.  9:38 Then a man from the
crowd cried out, “Teacher, I
beg you to look at my son—he
is my only child!  9:39 A spirit
seizes him, and he suddenly
screams; it throws him into
convulsions and causes him to
foam at the mouth. It hardly ever
leaves him alone, torturing him
severely.  9:40 I begged your
disciples to cast it out, but they
could not do so.”  9:41 Jesus
answered, “You unbelieving
and perverse generation! How
much longer must I be with
you and endure you? Bring
your son here.”  9:42 As the boy
was approaching, the demon
threw him to the ground and
shook him with convulsions.
But Jesus rebuked the unclean
spirit, healed the boy, and gave
him back to his father.  9:43 Then
they were all astonished at the
mighty power of God. But while
the entire crowd was amazed at
everything Jesus was doing, he

 10:25 Now an expert in religious law stood
up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must
I do to inherit eternal life?”  10:26 He said
to him, “What is written in the law? How
do you understand it?”  10:27 The expert
answered, “Love the Lord your God with all
your heart, with all your soul, with all your
strength, and with all your mind, 2 and love
your neighbor as yourself.” 1  10:28 Jesus
said to him, “You have answered correctly;
do this, and you will live.”
183. The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Mark 12:28-34
 12:28 Now one of the experts in the law came and heard
them debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them
well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most
important of all?”  12:29 Jesus answered, “The most
important is: ‘Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord
is one.  12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your
strength.’ 4  12:31 The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as
yourself.’ 1 There is no other commandment greater than
these.”  12:32 The expert in the law said to him, “That is
true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there
is no one else besides him. 3  12:33 And to love him with all
your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength 4
and to love your neighbor as yourself 1 is more important
than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”  12:34 When Jesus
saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, “You
are not far from the kingdom of God.” Then no one dared
any longer to question him.
Luke 10:29-37
 10:29 But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”  10:30 Jesus replied, “A man was going
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him
half dead.  10:31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, but when he saw the injured man he passed by on the other
side.  10:32 So too a Levite, when he came up to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.  10:33 But a Samaritan who
was traveling came to where the injured man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him.  10:34 He went up to him and
bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of
him.  10:35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever else
you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.’  10:36 Which of these three do you think became a neighbor to the man
who fell into the hands of the robbers?”  10:37 The expert in religious law said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” So Jesus said
to him, “Go and do the same.”
Matt. 22:34-40
 22:34 Now when the Pharisees heard that he
had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled
together.  22:35 And one of them, an expert
in religious law, asked him a question to test
him:  22:36 “Teacher, which commandment
in the law is the greatest?”  22:37 Jesus said to
him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your
mind.’ 2  22:38 This is the first and greatest
commandment.  22:39 The second is like it:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 1  22:40 All
the law and the prophets depend on these two
commandments.”

why do you disobey the commandment of God because

not eat unless they perform
a ritual washing, holding
fast to the tradition of the
elders.  7:4 And when they
come from the marketplace,
they do not eat unless they
wash. They hold fast to many
other traditions: the washing of
cups, pots, kettles, and dining
couches.)  7:5 The Pharisees
and the experts in the law
asked him, “Why do your
disciples not live according
to the tradition of the elders,
but eat with unwashed
hands?”  7:6 He said to them,
“Isaiah prophesied correctly
about you hypocrites, as it is
written: ‘This people honors
me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me.  7:7 They
worship me in vain, teaching
as doctrine the commandments
of men.’ 3  7:8 Having no
regard for the command of
God, you hold fast to human
tradition.”  7:9 He also said to
them, “You neatly reject the
commandment of God in order
to set up your tradition.
 20:46 “Beware of the experts in the law. They like walking around in
long robes, and they love elaborate greetings in the marketplaces and
the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
Luke 11:37-54
 11:37 As he spoke, a Pharisee invited Jesus to have
a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at
the table.  11:38 The Pharisee was astonished when
he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before
the meal.  11:39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you
Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but
inside you are full of greed and wickedness.  11:40 You
fools! Didn’t the one who made the outside make
the inside as well?  11:41 But give from your heart to
those in need, and then everything will be clean for
you.  11:42 “But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth
of your mint, rue, and every herb, yet you neglect justice
and love for God! But you should have done these
things without neglecting the others.  11:43 Woe to you
Pharisees! You love the best seats in the synagogues
and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces!  11:44 Woe
to you! You are like unmarked graves, and people walk
over them without realizing it!”  11:45 One of the experts
in religious law answered him, “Teacher, when you say
these things you insult us too.”  11:46 But Jesus replied,
“Woe to you experts in religious law as well! You load
people down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you
yourselves refuse to touch the burdens with even one of
your fingers!  11:47 Woe to you! You build the tombs of
the prophets whom your ancestors killed.  11:48 So you
testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors,
because they killed the prophets and you build their
tombs!  11:49 For this reason also the wisdom of God
said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of
whom they will kill and persecute,’  11:50 so that this
generation may be held accountable for the blood of
all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning
of the world,  11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood
of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the
sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against
this generation.  11:52 Woe to you experts in religious
law! You have taken away the key to knowledge! You
did not go in yourselves, and you hindered those who
were going in.”  11:53 When he went out from there, the
experts in the law and the Pharisees began to oppose
him bitterly, and to ask him hostile questions about
many things,  11:54 plotting against him, to catch him
in something he might say.

will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there
more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?  6:26 Look
at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns,
yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable than
they are?  6:27 And which of you by worrying can add even one hour
to his life?  6:28 Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how
the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin.  6:29 Yet I tell
you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of
these!  6:30 And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is
here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, won’t
he clothe you even more, you people of little faith?  6:31 So then, don’t
worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What
will we wear?’  6:32 For the unconverted pursue these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them.  6:33 But above all pursue
his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to
you as well.  6:34 So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you
worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what
you will wear.  12:23 For there is more to life than food, and more
to the body than clothing.  12:24 Consider the ravens: They do not
sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them.
How much more valuable are you than the birds!  12:25 And which
of you by worrying can add an hour to his life?  12:26 So if you
cannot do such a very little thing as this, why do you worry about the
rest?  12:27 Consider how the flowers grow; they do not work or spin.
Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one
of these!  12:28 And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is
here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, how
much more will he clothe you, you people of little faith!  12:29 So do
not be overly concerned about what you will eat and what you will
drink, and do not worry about such things.  12:30 For all the nations
of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you
need them.  12:31 Instead, pursue his kingdom, and these things will
be given to you as well.  12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your

stay alert, because you
do not know on what day your Lord will
come.  24:43 But understand this: If the owner
of the house had known at what time of night
the thief was coming, he would have been alert
and would not have let his house be broken
into.  24:44 Therefore you also must be ready,
because the Son of Man will come at an hour
when you do not expect him.  24:45 “Who
then is the faithful and wise slave, whom the
master has put in charge of his household, to
give the other slaves their food at the proper
time?  24:46 Blessed is that slave whom the
master finds at work when he comes.  24:47 I
tell you the truth, the master will put him in
charge of all his possessions.  24:48 But if that
evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master
is staying away a long time,’  24:49 and he
begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and
drink with drunkards,  24:50 then the master
of that slave will come on a day when he does
not expect him and at an hour he does not
foresee,  24:51 and will cut him in two, and
assign him a place with the hypocrites, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
24:42 “Therefore
like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to
meet the bridegroom.  25:2 Five of the virgins were
foolish, and five were wise.  25:3 When the foolish ones
took their lamps, they did not take extra olive oil with
them.  25:4 But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with
their lamps.  25:5 When the bridegroom was delayed a long
time, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.  25:6 But at
midnight there was a shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is here!
Come out to meet him.’  25:7 Then all the virgins woke up
and trimmed their lamps.  25:8 The foolish ones said to the
wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going
out.’  25:9 ‘No,’ they replied. ‘There won’t be enough for
you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some
for yourselves.’  25:10 But while they had gone to buy it,
the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went
inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was
shut.  25:11 Later, the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord,
lord! Let us in!’  25:12 But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I
do not know you!’  25:13 Therefore stay alert, because you
do not know the day or the hour.  
 25:1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be
you do not know when the time will
come.  13:34 It is like a man going on
a journey. He left his house and put his
slaves in charge, assigning to each his
work, and commanded the doorkeeper
to stay alert.  13:35 Stay alert, then,
because you do not know when the
owner of the house will return—whether
during evening, at midnight, when the
rooster crows, or at dawn—  13:36 or
else he might find you asleep when he
returns suddenly.  13:37 What I say to
you I say to everyone: Stay alert!”
Mark 13:33-37
 13:33 Watch out! Stay alert! For
master to come back from the wedding celebration,
so that when he comes and knocks they can
immediately open the door for him.  12:37 Blessed
are those slaves whom their master finds alert when
he returns! I tell you the truth, he will dress himself
to serve, have them take their place at the table,
and will come and wait on them!  12:38 Even if he
comes in the second or third watch of the night and
finds them alert, blessed are those slaves!  12:39 But
understand this: If the owner of the house had known
at what hour the thief was coming, he would not
have let his house be broken into.  12:40 You also
must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at
an hour when you do not expect him.”  12:41 Then
Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for
us or for everyone?”  12:42 The Lord replied, “Who
then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the
master puts in charge of his household servants,
to give them their allowance of food at the proper
time?  12:43 Blessed is that slave whom his master
finds at work when he returns.  12:44 I tell you the
truth, the master will put him in charge of all his
possessions.  12:45 But if that slave should say to
himself, ‘My master is delayed in returning,’ and
he begins to beat the other slaves, both men and
women, and to eat, drink, and get drunk,  12:46 then
the master of that slave will come on a day when
he does not expect him and at an hour he does not
foresee, and will cut him in two, and assign him
a place with the unfaithful.  12:47 That servant
who knew his master’s will but did not get ready
or do what his master asked will receive a severe
beating.  12:48 But the one who did not know his
master’s will and did things worthy of punishment
will receive a light beating. From everyone who
has been given much, much will be required, and
from the one who has been entrusted with much,
even more will be asked.

will all perish as well!  13:4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower in
Siloam fell on them, do you think they were worse offenders than all the others
who live in Jerusalem?  13:5 No, I tell you! But unless you repent you will all perish
as well!”  13:6 Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.  13:7 So he said to the
worker who tended the vineyard, ‘For three years now, I have come looking for fruit
on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it
continue to deplete the soil?’  13:8 But the worker answered him, ‘Sir, leave it alone
this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizer on it.  13:9 Then if it bears fruit
next year, very well, but if not, you can cut it down.’”
to the crowd, “There are six days on which work should be done! So come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath
day.”  13:15 Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from its
stall, and lead it to water?  13:16 Then shouldn’t this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be
released from this imprisonment on the Sabbath day?”  13:17 When he said this all his adversaries were humiliated, but the entire
crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.
 13:10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,  13:11 and a woman was there who had been disabled by a
spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely.  13:12 When Jesus saw her, he called
her to him and said, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”  13:13 Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she
straightened up and praised God.  13:14 But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said

noticing in the distance a fig tree with

nothing but leaves, for it was not the

no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And
his disciples heard it.

immediately pull him out?”  14:6 But they could not reply to this.

place.  14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important
place, so that when your host approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move
up here to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all
who share the meal with you.  14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will

said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will feast in the kingdom
of God!”  14:16 But Jesus said to him, “A man once gave a
great banquet and invited many guests.  14:17 At the time
for the banquet he sent his slave to tell those who had been
invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’  14:18 But
one after another they all began to make excuses. The first
said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see
it. Please excuse me.’  14:19 Another said, ‘I have bought five
yoke of oxen, and I am going out to examine them. Please
excuse me.’  14:20 Another said, ‘I just got married, and I
cannot come.’  14:21 So the slave came back and reported this
to his master. Then the master of the household was furious and
said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of
the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the
lame.’  14:22 Then the slave said, ‘Sir, what you instructed has
been done, and there is still room.’  14:23 So the master said to
his slave, ‘Go out to the highways and country roads and urge
people to come in, so that my house will be filled.  14:24 For
I tell you, not one of those individuals who were invited will
taste my banquet!’”
Luke 14:15-24
 14:15 When one of those at the meal with Jesus heard this, he
comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and
sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.  14:27 Whoever does not carry his own cross
and follow me cannot be my disciple.  14:28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn’t sit
down first and compute the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?  14:29 Otherwise,
when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish the tower, all who see it will begin to make
fun of him.  14:30 They will say, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’  14:31 Or what
king, going out to confront another king in battle, will not sit down first and determine whether he
is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?  14:32 If he
cannot succeed, he will send a representative while the other is still a long way off and ask for terms
of peace.  14:33 In the same way therefore not one of you can be my disciple if he does not renounce

of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his
son.  22:3 He sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the
banquet, but they would not come.  22:4 Again he sent other slaves, saying,
‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you
is ready. My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything
is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”’  22:5 But they were indifferent and
went away, one to his farm, another to his business.  22:6 The rest seized
his slaves, insolently mistreated them, and killed them.  22:7 The king was
furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to death and set
their city on fire.  22:8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but
the ones who had been invited were not worthy.  22:9 So go into the main
streets and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.’  22:10 And
those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all they found, both bad
and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.  22:11 But when the
king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a man there who was not
wearing wedding clothes.  22:12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get
in here without wedding clothes?’ But he had nothing to say.  22:13 Then the
king said to his attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot and throw him into the
outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’  22:14 For

Pharisees and the experts in the law were complaining, “This man welcomes sinners and

and go look for the one that is lost until he finds it?  15:5 Then when he has found it, he

and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was

people of light.  16:9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by how you use worldly wealth, so that when it runs out you will
be welcomed into the eternal homes.
 16:1 Jesus also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who was informed of accusations that his manager was wasting his
assets.  16:2 So he called the manager in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in the account of your administration,
because you can no longer be my manager.’  16:3 Then the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, since my master is taking my
position away from me? I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m too ashamed to beg.  16:4 I know what to do so that when I am put
out of management, people will welcome me into their homes.’  16:5 So he contacted his master’s debtors one by one. He asked the
first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’  16:6 The man replied, ‘A hundred measures of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take
your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.’  16:7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ The second man replied, ‘A

got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; he ran
and hugged his son and kissed him.  15:21 Then his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I am no
longer worthy to be called your son.’  15:22 But the father said to his slaves, ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, and put it on him! Put a
ring on his finger and sandals on his feet!  15:23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it! Let us eat and celebrate,  15:24 because this son
of mine was dead, and is alive again—he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.  15:25 “Now his older son was in the
field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.  15:26 So he called one of the slaves and asked what was
happening.  15:27 The slave replied, ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son
back safe and sound.’  15:28 But the older son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,  15:29 but
he answered his father, ‘Look! These many years I have worked like a slave for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yet
you never gave me even a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!  15:30 But when this son of yours came back, who has
devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’  15:31 Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always
with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.  15:32 It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for your brother was dead,
and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”
 15:11 Then Jesus said, “A man had two sons.  15:12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate
that will belong to me.’ So he divided his assets between them.  15:13 After a few days, the younger son gathered together all he had
and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth with a wild lifestyle.  15:14 Then after he had spent
everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.  15:15 So he went and worked for one of the
citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.  15:16 He was longing to eat the carob pods the pigs were eating, but
no one gave him anything.  15:17 But when he came to his senses he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have food enough
to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!  15:18 I will get up and go to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against
heaven and against you.  15:19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired workers.”’  15:20 So he

 17:11 Now on the way to Jerusalem, Jesus was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.  17:12 As he was entering a village, ten
men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance,  17:13 raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”  17:14 When
he saw them he said, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went along, they were cleansed.  17:15 Then one of them,
when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.  17:16 He fell with his face to the ground at Jesus’ feet
and thanked him. (Now he was a Samaritan.)  17:17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?  17:18 Was
no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?”  17:19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and go your way.

and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the
Son of Man be in his day.  17:25 But first he must suffer
many things and be rejected by this generation.  17:26 Just
as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days
of the Son of Man.  17:27 People were eating, they were
drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in
marriage—right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the
flood came and destroyed them all.  17:28 Likewise, just as it
was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying,
selling, planting, building;  17:29 but on the day Lot went out
from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and
destroyed them all.  17:30 It will be the same on the day the
Son of Man is revealed.  17:31 On that day, anyone who is on
the roof, with his goods in the house, must not come down
to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must
not turn back.  17:32 Remember Lot’s wife!  17:33 Whoever
tries to keep his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life
will preserve it.  17:34 I tell you, in that night there will
be two people in one bed; one will be taken and the other
left.  17:35 There will be two women grinding grain together;
one will be taken and the other left.”  17:36 [“There will be two
in the field; one will be taken and the other left.”]  17:37 Then
the disciples said to him, “Where, Lord?” He replied to them,

was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people.  18:3 There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and
saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’  18:4 For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear

see your miracles that you are performing.  7:4 For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If
you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”  7:5 (For not even his own brothers believed in him.)  7:6 So Jesus replied,
“My time has not yet arrived, but you are ready at any opportunity!  7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am
testifying about it that its deeds are evil.  7:8 You go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because my time has

 4:22 All were speaking well
John 7:14-39
 7:14 When the feast was half over, Jesus went up to the temple courts
and began to teach.  7:15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and
said, “How does this man know so much when he has never had formal
instruction?”  7:16 So Jesus replied, “My teaching is not from me, but from
the one who sent me.  7:17 If anyone wants to do God’s will, he will know
about my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak from my own
authority.  7:18 The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive
honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a
man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.  7:19 Hasn’t Moses
given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill
me?”  7:20 The crowd answered, “You’re possessed by a demon! Who is trying
to kill you?”  7:21 Jesus replied, “I performed one miracle and you are all
amazed.  7:22 However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision
(not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male
child on the Sabbath.  7:23 But if a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath
so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because
I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?  7:24 Do not judge according
to external appearance, but judge with proper judgment.”  7:25 Then some of
the residents of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying
to kill?  7:26 Yet here he is, speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing
to him. Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?  7:27 But we
know where this man comes from. Whenever the Christ comes, no one will
know where he comes from.”  7:28 Then Jesus, while teaching in the temple
courts, cried out, “You both know me and know where I come from! And I
have not come on my own initiative, but the one who sent me is true. You
do not know him,  7:29 but I know him, because I have come from him and
he sent me.”  7:30 So then they tried to seize Jesus, but no one laid a hand
on him, because his time had not yet come.  7:31 Yet many of the crowd
believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ comes, he won’t perform
more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?”  7:32 The Pharisees heard
the crowd murmuring these things about Jesus, so the chief priests and the
Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.  7:33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with
you for only a little while longer, and then I am going to the one who sent
me.  7:34 You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you
cannot come.”  7:35 Then the Jewish leaders said to one another, “Where is
he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish
people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?  7:36 What
did he mean by saying, ‘You will look for me but will not find me, and where
I am you cannot come’?”  7:37 On the last day of the feast, the greatest day,
Jesus stood up and shouted out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me,
and  7:38 let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says,
‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’” 1  7:39 (Now he said this
about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for
the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of
them  8:4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.  8:5 In the law Moses commanded
us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?”  8:6 (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that
they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.  8:7 When they persisted
in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, “Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at
her.”  8:8 Then he bent over again and wrote on the ground.  8:9 Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one
at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.  8:10 Jesus stood up
straight and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”  8:11 She replied, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus
said, “I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”]]

 7:40 When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, “This really is the Prophet!”  7:41 Others said, “This is the
Christ!” But still others said, “No, for the Christ doesn’t come from Galilee, does he?  7:42 Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ
is a descendant of David 1 and comes from Bethlehem, 2 the village where David lived?”  7:43 So there was a division in the crowd
because of Jesus.  7:44 Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.  7:45 Then the officers returned to
the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him back with you?”  7:46 The officers replied, “No one
ever spoke like this man!”  7:47 Then the Pharisees answered, “You haven’t been deceived too, have you?  7:48 None of the rulers or
the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?  7:49 But this rabble who do not know the law are accursed!”  7:50 Nicodemus, who
had gone to Jesus before and who was one of the rulers, said,  7:51 “Our law doesn’t condemn a man unless it first hears from him
and learns what he is doing, does it?”  7:52 They replied, “You aren’t from Galilee too, are you? Investigate carefully and you will

 8:30 While he was saying these things, many people believed in him.  8:31 Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him,
“If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples  8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free.”  8:33 “We are descendants of Abraham,” they replied, “and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say, ‘You will
become free’?”  8:34 Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth, everyone who practices sin is a slave of sin.  8:35 The slave
does not remain in the family forever, but the son remains forever.  8:36 So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.

is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do those things that please him.”
 8:21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will look for me but will die in your sin. Where I am going you
cannot come.”  8:22 So the Jewish leaders began to say, “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you
cannot come.’”  8:23 Jesus replied, “You people are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from
this world.  8:24 Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”  8:25 So
they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus replied, “What I have told you from the beginning.  8:26 I have many things to say and to
judge about you, but the Father who sent me is truthful, and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world.”  8:27 (They did
not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)  8:28 Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will
know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.  8:29 And the one who sent me

if I judge, my evaluation is accurate, because I am not alone when I judge, but I and the Father who sent me do so together.  8:17 It
is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 1  8:18 I testify about myself and the Father who sent me testifies about
me.”  8:19 Then they began asking him, “Who is your father?” Jesus answered, “You do not know either me or my Father. If you
knew me you would know my Father too.”  8:20 (Jesus spoke these words near the offering box while he was teaching in the temple
courts. No one seized him because his time had not yet come.)
 8:12 Then Jesus spoke out again, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have
the light of life.”  8:13 So the Pharisees objected, “You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true!”  8:14 Jesus answered,

 8:48 The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?”  8:49 Jesus answered,
“I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father—and yet you dishonor me.  8:50 I am not trying to get praise for myself.
There is one who demands it, and he also judges.  8:51 I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see
death.”  8:52 Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and
yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’  8:53 You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who
died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?”  8:54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless.
The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, ‘He is our God.’  8:55 Yet you do not know him, but I know
him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.  8:56 Your
father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”  8:57 Then the Judeans replied, “You are not yet fifty
years old! Have you seen Abraham?”  8:58 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, before Abraham came into existence, I
am!”  8:59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.

 8:37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you want to kill me, because my teaching makes no progress among
you.  8:38 I am telling you the things I have seen while with the Father; as for you, practice the things you have heard from the
Father!”  8:39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father!” Jesus replied, “If you are Abraham’s children, you would be doing the
deeds of Abraham.  8:40 But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do
this!  8:41 You people are doing the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Jesus, “We were not born as a result of immorality! We
have only one Father, God himself.”  8:42 Jesus replied, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God
and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.  8:43 Why don’t you understand what I am saying? It is
because you cannot accept my teaching.  8:44 You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks
according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.  8:45 But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe
me.  8:46 Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me?  8:47 The one who
belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.”

be revealed through what happens to him.  9:4 We must perform the deeds of
the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can
work.  9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”  9:6 Having
said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared
the mud on the blind man’s eyes  9:7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of
Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed,
and came back seeing.  9:8 Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him
previously as a beggar began saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and
beg?”  9:9 Some people said, “This is the man!” while others said, “No, but he
looks like him.” The man himself kept insisting, “I am the one!”  9:10 So they
asked him, “How then were you made to see?”  9:11 He replied, “The man called
Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’
So I went and washed, and was able to see.”  9:12 They said to him, “Where is
that man?” He replied, “I don’t know.”  9:13 They brought the man who used to
be blind to the Pharisees.  9:14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and
caused him to see was a Sabbath.)  9:15 So the Pharisees asked him again how
he had gained his sight. He replied, “He put mud on my eyes and I washed, and
now I am able to see.”  9:16 Then some of the Pharisees began to say, “This man
is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath.” But others said, “How
can a man who is a sinner perform such miraculous signs?” Thus there was a
division among them.  9:17 So again they asked the man who used to be blind,
“What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?” “He is a prophet,” the
man replied.  9:18 Now the Jewish religious leaders refused to believe that he had
really been blind and had gained his sight until at last they summoned the parents
of the man who had become able to see.  9:19 They asked the parents, “Is this your
son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”  9:20 So his
parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.  9:21 But
we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to
see. Ask him, he is a mature adult. He will speak for himself.”  9:22 (His parents
said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For
the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the
Christ would be put out of the synagogue.  9:23 For this reason his parents said,
“He is a mature adult, ask him.”)  9:24 Then they summoned the man who used
to be blind a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth.
We know that this man is a sinner.”  9:25 He replied, “I do not know whether
he is a sinner. I do know one thing—that although I was blind, now I can see.”  
9:1 Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from
birth.  9:2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused
him to be born blind, this man or his parents?”  9:3 Jesus answered, “Neither this

 12:37 Although Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs before them, they still refused to
believe in him,  12:38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled. He said, “Lord,
who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”  12:39 For
this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said,  12:40 “He has blinded their eyes and

do you want to hear it again? You people don’t want to become his disciples
too, do you?”  9:28 They heaped insults on him, saying, “You are his disciple!
We are disciples of Moses!  9:29 We know that God has spoken to Moses!
We do not know where this man comes from!”  9:30 The man replied, “This
is a remarkable thing, that you don’t know where he comes from, and yet
he caused me to see!  9:31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if
anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.  9:32 Never before has
anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.  9:33 If this man
were not from God, he could do nothing.”  9:34 They replied, “You were born
completely in sinfulness, and yet you presume to teach us?” So they threw him
out.  9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and
said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”  9:36 The man replied, “And
who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?”  9:37 Jesus told him, “You have seen
him; he is the one speaking with you.”  9:38 [He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he
worshiped him.]  9:39 Jesus said,] “For judgment I have come into this world,
so that those who do not see may gain their sight, and the ones who see may
become blind.”  9:40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and
asked him, “We are not blind too, are we?”  9:41 Jesus replied, “If you were
blind, you would not be guilty of sin, but now because you claim that you can
see, your guilt remains.”
9:26 Then they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he cause you
to see?”  9:27 He answered, “I told you already and you didn’t listen. Why

hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf
attacks the sheep and scatters them.  10:13 Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.  10:14 “I
am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me—  10:15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I
lay down my life for the sheep.  10:16 I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will

to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
 10:1 “I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a
robber.  10:2 The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.  10:3 The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep
hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  10:4 When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead
of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.  10:5 They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from
him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.”  10:6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was
saying to them.  10:7 So Jesus said to them again, “I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.  10:8 All who came before
me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.  10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved,
and will come in and go out, and find pasture.  10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may

one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give
the money to the poor, and you will have treasure
in heaven. Then come, follow me.”  10:22 But at
this statement, the man looked sad and went away

But when the disciples saw it, they

not steal, do not give false testimony, honor
your father and mother.’” 1  18:21 The man
replied, “I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these

this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack.

the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

man heard this he became very sad, for he was
extremely wealthy.

the kingdom of heaven!  19:24 Again I say, it is
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of
God.”  19:25 The disciples were greatly astonished
when they heard this and said, “Then who can be
saved?”  19:26 Jesus looked at them and replied,
“This is impossible for mere humans, but for God
all things are possible.”  19:27 Then Peter said to
him, “Look, we have left everything to follow
you! What then will there be for us?”  19:28 Jesus
said to them, “I tell you the truth: In the age when
all things are renewed, when the Son of Man sits
on his glorious throne, you who have followed me
will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.  19:29 And whoever has left
houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother
or children or fields for my sake will receive a
hundred times as much and will inherit eternal
life.  19:30 But many who are first will be last, and
the last first.
 19:23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you
disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter
the kingdom of God!”  10:24 The disciples were
astonished at these words. But again Jesus said
to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the
kingdom of God!  10:25 It is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich
person to enter the kingdom of God.”  10:26 They
were even more astonished and said to one another,
“Then who can be saved?”  10:27 Jesus looked at
them and replied, “This is impossible for mere
humans, but not for God; all things are possible for
God.”  10:28 Peter began to speak to him, “Look,
we have left everything to follow you!”  10:29 Jesus
said, “I tell you the truth, there is no one who has
left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father
or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of
the gospel  10:30 who will not receive in this age a
hundred times as much—homes, brothers, sisters,
mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions—
and in the age to come, eternal life.  10:31 But many
who are first will be last, and the last first.”
 10:23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his

Jesus noticed this, he said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the

for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of
God.”  18:26 Those who heard this said, “Then
who can be saved?”  18:27 He replied, “What
is impossible for mere humans is possible for
God.”  18:28 And Peter said, “Look, we have left
everything we own to follow you!”  18:29 Then
Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, there is
no one who has left home or wife or brothers
or parents or children for the sake of God’s
kingdom  18:30 who will not receive many
times more in this age—and in the age to come,

“We are not going to stone you for a good deed but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are claiming to be
God.”  10:34 Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 1  10:35 If those people to
whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’ (and the scripture cannot be broken),  10:36 do you say about the
one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of
God’?  10:37 If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.  10:38 But if I do them, even if you do
not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the
Father is in me.”  10:39 Then they attempted again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches.
 10:22 Then came the feast of the Dedication in Jerusalem.  10:23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the
temple area in Solomon’s Portico.  10:24 The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, “How long will you keep
us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”  10:25 Jesus replied, “I told you and you do not believe.
The deeds I do in my Father’s name testify about me.  10:26 But you refuse to believe because you are not my
sheep.  10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.  10:28 I give them eternal life,
and they will never perish; no one will snatch them from my hand.  10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is
greater than all, and no one can snatch them from my Father’s hand.  10:30 The Father and I are one.”  10:31 The
Jewish leaders picked up rocks again to stone him to death.  10:32 Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many
good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?”  10:33 The Jewish leaders replied,

they went. When he went out again about noon and three o’clock that afternoon, he did the
same thing.  20:6 And about five o’clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing
around, and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’  20:7 They
said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go and work in the vineyard
too.’  20:8 When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the
workers and give the pay starting with the last hired until the first.’  20:9 When those hired
about five o’clock came, each received a full day’s pay.  20:10 And when those hired first
came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard
wage.  20:11 When they received it, they began to complain against the landowner,  20:12 
saying, ‘These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore
the hardship and burning heat of the day.’  20:13 And the landowner replied to one of them,
‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard
wage?  20:14 Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last man the same as I gave
to you.  20:15 Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you
envious because I am generous?’  20:16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”
 20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning
to hire workers for his vineyard.  20:2 And after agreeing with the workers for the standard
wage, he sent them into his vineyard.  20:3 When it was about nine o’clock in the morning,
he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace without work.  20:4 He
said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.’  20:5 So

 11:1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.  11:2 (Now
it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)  11:3 So
the sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, look, the one you love is sick.”  11:4 When Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not
lead to death, but to God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”  11:5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and
Lazarus.)  11:6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days.  11:7 Then after
this, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”  11:8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying
to stone you to death! Are you going there again?”  11:9 Jesus replied, “Are there not twelve hours in a day? If anyone walks around
in the daytime, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.  11:10 But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles,
because the light is not in him.”  11:11 After he said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken
him.”  11:12 Then the disciples replied, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”  11:13 (Now Jesus had been talking about his
death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)  11:14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,  11:15 and I am
glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”  11:16 So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his
fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”  11:17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb
four days already.  11:18 (Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,  11:19 so many of the Jewish people of the region had
come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)  11:20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went
out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.  11:21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have
died.  11:22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will grant you.”  11:23 Jesus replied, “Your brother will come
back to life again.”  11:24 Martha said, “I know that he will come back to life again in the resurrection at the last day.”  11:25 Jesus said
to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies,  11:26 and the one who lives and believes
in me will never die. Do you believe this?”  11:27 She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes
into the world.”  11:28 And when she had said this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is
asking for you.”  11:29 So when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.  11:30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village,
but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)  11:31 Then the people who were with Mary in the house consoling
her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.  11:32 Now
when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my
brother would not have died.”  11:33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping, he was intensely
moved in spirit and greatly distressed.  11:34 He asked, “Where have you laid him?” They replied, “Lord, come and see.”  11:35 Jesus
wept.  11:36 Thus the people who had come to mourn said, “Look how much he loved him!”  11:37 But some of them said, “This is the
man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?”  11:38 Jesus, intensely moved
again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)  11:39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the
sister of the deceased, replied, “Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, because he has been buried four days.”  11:40 Jesus
responded, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”  11:41 So they took away the stone. Jesus looked
upward and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.  11:42 I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake
of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”  11:43 When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice,
“Lazarus, come out!”  11:44 The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around
his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”
259. The Raising of Lazarus
 10:40 Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed
there.  10:41 Many came to him and began to say, “John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was
true!”  10:42 And many believed in Jesus there.

Pharisees called the council together and said, “What are we doing? For this
man is performing many miraculous signs.  11:48 If we allow him to go on in
this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take
away our sanctuary and our nation.”  11:49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who
was high priest that year, said, “You know nothing at all!  11:50 You do not
realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people
than for the whole nation to perish.”  11:51 (Now he did not say this on his
own, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was
going to die for the Jewish nation,  11:52 and not for the Jewish nation only, but
to gather together into one the children of God who are scattered.)  11:53 So
from that day they planned together to kill him.
 11:45 Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the

a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.  11:55 Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, and many people went

saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he won’t come to the feast?”  11:57 (Now the

way,  20:18 “Look, we are going up to

handed over to the chief priests and the
experts in the law. They will condemn
him to death,  20:19 and will turn him

came to him with her sons, and kneeling
down she asked him for a favor.  20:21 He
said to her, “What do you want?” She replied,
“Permit these two sons of mine to sit, one at
your right hand and one at your left, in your
kingdom.”  20:22 Jesus answered, “You
don’t know what you are asking! Are you
able to drink the cup I am about to drink?”
They said to him, “We are able.”  20:23 He
told them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit
at my right and at my left is not mine to give.
Rather, it is for those for whom it has been
prepared by my Father.”  20:24 Now when
the other ten heard this, they were angry
with the two brothers.  20:25 But Jesus called
them and said, “You know that the rulers of
the Gentiles lord it over them, and those
in high positions use their authority over
them.  20:26 It must not be this way among
you! Instead whoever wants to be great
among you must be your servant,  20:27 and
whoever wants to be first among you must
be your slave—  20:28 just as the Son of
Man did not come to be served but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and
everything that is written about the Son of Man
by the prophets will be accomplished.  18:32 For
he will be handed over to the Gentiles; he will
be mocked, mistreated, and spat on.  18:33 They
will flog him severely and kill him. Yet on the
third day he will rise again.”  18:34 But the
twelve understood none of these things. This
saying was hidden from them, and they did not
grasp what Jesus meant.
Luke 18:31-34
 18:31 Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said
anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
 9:35 After he sat down, he called the twelve and said to them, “If
came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for
us whatever we ask.”  10:36 He said to them, “What
do you want me to do for you?”  10:37 They said to
him, “Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and
the other at your left in your glory.”  10:38 But Jesus
said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking!
Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized
with the baptism I experience?”  10:39 They said to
him, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “You
will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized
with the baptism I experience,  10:40 but to sit at my
right or at my left is not mine to give. It is for those
for whom it has been prepared.”  10:41 Now when the
other ten heard this, they became angry with James
and John.  10:42 Jesus called them and said to them,
“You know that those who are recognized as rulers
of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high

is not this way among you. Instead whoever wants to
be great among you must be your servant,  10:44 and
whoever wants to be first among you must be the
slave of all.  10:45 For even the Son of Man did not
come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as
a ransom for many.”
 10:35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee,

 9:48 and said to them, “Whoever
started among them over which
of them was to be regarded as
the greatest.  22:25 So Jesus
said to them, “The kings of
the Gentiles lord it over them,
and those in authority over
them are called ‘benefactors.’
 22:26 Not so with you; instead
the one who is greatest among
you must become like the
youngest, and the leader like
the one who serves.  22:27 For
who is greater, the one who is
seated at the table, or the one
who serves? Is it not the one
who is seated at the table? But
I am among you as one who
serves.

back on, he took his place at the
table again and said to them, “Do
you understand what I have done for
you?  13:13 You call me ‘Teacher’
and ‘Lord,’ and do so correctly,
for that is what I am.  13:14 If I
then, your Lord and Teacher, have
washed your feet, you too ought to
wash one another’s feet.  13:15 For
I have given you an example—you
should do just as I have done for
you.  13:16 I tell you the solemn
truth, the slave is not greater than his
master, nor is the one who is sent as
a messenger greater than the one who
sent him.  13:17 If you understand
these things, you will be blessed if
you do them.
 13:12 So when Jesus had washed
removed his outer clothes, took a towel
and tied it around himself.  13:5 He
poured water into the washbasin and
began to wash the disciples’ feet and
to dry them with the towel he had
wrapped around himself.

quiet, but he shouted even more, “Son of David,

ordered the beggar to be brought to him. When
the man came near, Jesus asked him,  18:41 “What
do you want me to do for you?” He replied,
“Lord, let me see again.”  18:42 Jesus said to
him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed

see over the crowd.  19:4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was
going to pass that way.  19:5 And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus,
come down quickly, because I must stay at your house today.”  19:6 So he came down quickly and welcomed
Jesus joyfully.  19:7 And when the people saw it, they all complained, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man
who is a sinner.”  19:8 But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now
give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”  19:9 Then
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this household, because he too is a son of Abraham!  19:10 For

and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind

He is calling you.”  10:50 He threw off his cloak,
jumped up, and came to Jesus.  10:51 Then Jesus
said to him, “What do you want me to do for

 25:14 “For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned
his slaves and entrusted his property to them.  25:15 To
one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another
one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his
journey.  25:16 The one who had received five talents went
off right away and put his money to work and gained five
more.  25:17 In the same way, the one who had two gained
two more.  25:18 But the one who had received one talent
went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s
money in it.  25:19 After a long time, the master of those
slaves came and settled his accounts with them.  25:20 The
one who had received the five talents came and brought five
more, saying, ‘Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See,
I have gained five more.’  25:21 His master answered, ‘Well
done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful in a
few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into
the joy of your master.’  25:22 The one with the two talents
also came and said, ‘Sir, you entrusted two talents to me.
See, I have gained two more.’  25:23 His master answered,
‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful
with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things.
Enter into the joy of your master.’  25:24 Then the one who
had received the one talent came and said, ‘Sir, I knew that
you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow,
and gathering where you did not scatter seed,  25:25 so I was
afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See,
you have what is yours.’  25:26 But his master answered,
‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I
didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter?  25:27 Then
you should have deposited my money with the bankers,
and on my return I would have received my money back
with interest!  25:28 Therefore take the talent from him and
give it to the one who has ten.  25:29 For the one who has
will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But
the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken
from him.  25:30 And throw that worthless slave into the
outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.’

 13:34 It is like a man going
on a journey. He left his house
and put his slaves in charge,
assigning to each his work, and
commanded the doorkeeper to
stay alert.
Luke 19:11-27
 19:11 While the people were listening to these things,
Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to
Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of
God was going to appear immediately.  19:12 Therefore he
said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive for
himself a kingdom and then return.  19:13 And he summoned
ten of his slaves, gave them ten minas, and said to them,
‘Do business with these until I come back.’  19:14 But his
citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying,
‘We do not want this man to be king over us!’  19:15 When
he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned
these slaves to whom he had given the money. He wanted
to know how much they had earned by trading.  19:16 So
the first one came before him and said, ‘Sir, your mina has
made ten minas more.’  19:17 And the king said to him,
‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful
in a very small matter, you will have authority over ten
cities.’  19:18 Then the second one came and said, ‘Sir,
your mina has made five minas.’  19:19 So the king said
to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’  19:20 Then
another slave came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina that
I put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.  19:21 For
I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You
withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did
not sow.’  19:22 The king said to him, ‘I will judge you by
your own words, you wicked slave! So you knew, did you,
that I was a severe man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit
and reaping what I didn’t sow?  19:23 Why then didn’t you
put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could
have collected it with interest?’  19:24 And he said to his
attendants, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one
who has ten.’  19:25 But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten
minas already!’  19:26 ‘I tell you that everyone who has
will be given more, but from the one who does not have,
even what he has will be taken away.  19:27 But as for these
enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king,
bring them here and slaughter them in front of me!’”

his place at the table.  7:37 Then when a woman of that
town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the
Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed
oil.  7:38 As she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she
began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with
her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the perfumed
oil.  7:39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw
this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would
know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching
him, that she is a sinner.”  7:40 So Jesus answered him,
“Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied, “Say it,
Teacher.”  7:41 “A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed
him five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.  7:42 When
they could not pay, he canceled the debts of both. Now which
of them will love him more?”  7:43 Simon answered, “I
suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.” Jesus said
to him, “You have judged rightly.”  7:44 Then, turning toward
the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I
entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but
she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her
hair.  7:45 You gave me no kiss of greeting, but from the time
I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.  7:46 You did
not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with
perfumed oil.  7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were
many, are forgiven, thus she loved much; but the one who is
forgiven little loves little.”  7:48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your
sins are forgiven.”  7:49 But those who were at the table with
him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even
forgives sins?”  7:50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has
saved you; go in peace.”

six days before
the Passover, Jesus came to
Bethany, where Lazarus lived,
whom he had raised from the
dead.  12:2 So they prepared a
dinner for Jesus there. Martha
was serving, and Lazarus was
among those present at the
table with him.  12:3 Then Mary
took three quarters of a pound
of expensive aromatic oil from
pure nard and anointed the feet
of Jesus. She then wiped his feet
dry with her hair. (Now the house
was filled with the fragrance of
the perfumed oil.)  12:4 But Judas
Iscariot, one of his disciples (the
one who was going to betray
him) said,  12:5 “Why wasn’t
this oil sold for three hundred
silver coins and the money given
to the poor?”  12:6 (Now Judas
said this not because he was
concerned about the poor, but
because he was a thief. As keeper
of the money box, he used to steal
what was put into it.)  12:7 So
Jesus said, “Leave her alone.
She has kept it for the day of my
burial.  12:8 For you will always
have the poor with you, but you
will not always have me!”

Matt. 21:1-9
when they approached
Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at
the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two
disciples,  21:2 telling them, “Go to the
village ahead of you. Right away you
will find a donkey tied there, and a colt
with her. Untie them and bring them to
me.  21:3 If anyone says anything to you,
you are to say, ‘The Lord needs them,’
and he will send them at once.”  21:4 This
took place to fulfill what was spoken
by the prophet:  21:5 “Tell the people of
Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you,
unassuming and seated on a donkey, and
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” 1  21:6 So
the disciples went and did as Jesus had
instructed them.  21:7 They brought the
donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks
on them, and he sat on them.  21:8 A very
large crowd spread their cloaks on the
road. Others cut branches from the trees
and spread them on the road.  21:9 The
crowds that went ahead of him and those
following kept shouting, “Hosanna to
the Son of David! Blessed is the one
who comes in the name of the Lord! 2
Hosanna in the highest!”  21:14 The blind
and lame came to him in the temple courts, and he
healed them.  21:15 But when the chief priests and
the experts in the law saw the wonderful things he
did and heard the children crying out in the temple
courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became
indignant  21:16 and said to him, “Do you hear
what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes.
Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of children
and nursing infants you have prepared praise for
yourself’?”3
 21:1 Now
Mark 11:1-10
as they approached
Jerusalem, near Bethphage and
Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus
sent two of his disciples  11:2 and said
to them, “Go to the village ahead of
you. As soon as you enter it, you
will find a colt tied there that has
never been ridden. Untie it and bring
it here.  11:3 If anyone says to you,
‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The
Lord needs it and will send it back
here soon.’”  11:4 So they went and
found a colt tied at a door, outside in
the street, and untied it.  11:5 Some
people standing there said to them,
“What are you doing, untying that
colt?”  11:6 They replied as Jesus
had told them, and the bystanders
let them go.  11:7 Then they brought
the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks
on it, and he sat on it.  11:8 Many
spread their cloaks on the road and
others spread branches they had cut
in the fields.  11:9 Both those who
went ahead and those who followed
kept shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed
is the one who comes in the name
of the Lord! 2  11:10 Blessed is the
coming kingdom of our father David!
Hosanna in the highest!”
 11:1 Now
Luke 19:28-40
Jesus had said this,
he continued on ahead, going up
to Jerusalem.  19:29 Now when he
approached Bethphage and Bethany, at
the place called the Mount of Olives, he
sent two of the disciples,  19:30 telling
them, “Go to the village ahead of you.
When you enter it, you will find a colt tied
there that has never been ridden. Untie
it and bring it here.  19:31 If anyone
asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’
just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”  19:32 So
those who were sent ahead found it
exactly as he had told them.  19:33 As
they were untying the colt, its owners
asked them, “Why are you untying that
colt?”  19:34 They replied, “The Lord
needs it.”  19:35 Then they brought
it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the
colt, and had Jesus get on it.  19:36 As
he rode along, they spread their cloaks
on the road.  19:37 As he approached
the road leading down from the Mount
of Olives, the whole crowd of his
disciples began to rejoice and praise
God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works they had seen:  19:38 “Blessed
is the king who comes in the name
of the Lord! 4 Peace in heaven and
glory in the highest!”  19:39 But
some of the Pharisees in the crowd
said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your
disciples.”  19:40 He answered, “I tell
you, if they keep silent, the very stones
will cry out!”
 19:28 After

had come to the feast heard that Jesus
was coming to Jerusalem.  12:13 So
they took branches of palm trees
and went out to meet him. They
began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed
is the one who comes in the name
of the Lord! 2 Blessed is the king of
Israel!”  12:14 Jesus found a young
donkey and sat on it, just as it is
written,  12:15 “Do not be afraid,
people of Zion; look, your king
is coming, seated on a donkey’s
colt!” 1  12:16 (His disciples did not
understand these things when they
first happened, but when Jesus was
glorified, then they remembered that
these things were written about him
and that these things had happened
to him.)  12:17 So the crowd who had
been with him when he called Lazarus
out of the tomb and raised him from
the dead were continuing to testify
about it.  12:18 Because they had
heard that Jesus had performed this
miraculous sign, the crowd went out
to meet him.  12:19 Thus the Pharisees
said to one another, “You see that you
can do nothing. Look, the world has
run off after him!”

was near, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect
his portion of the crop.  21:35 But the tenants
seized his slaves, beat one, killed another, and
stoned another.  21:36 Again he sent other slaves,
more than the first, and they treated them the same
way.  21:37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying,
‘They will respect my son.’  21:38 But when the
tenants saw the son, they said to themselves,
‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and get his
inheritance!’  21:39 So they seized him, threw him
out of the vineyard, and killed him.  21:40 Now
when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he
do to those tenants?”  21:41 They said to him, “He
will utterly destroy those evil men! Then he will
lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give
him his portion at the harvest.”  21:42 Jesus said
to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures:
‘The stone the builders rejected has become
the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is
marvelous in our eyes’? 1  21:43 For this reason
I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken
from you and given to a people who will produce
its fruit.  21:44 The one who falls on this stone will
be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls
will be crushed.”  21:45 When the chief priests and
the Pharisees heard his parables, they realized that
he was speaking about them.  21:46 They wanted
to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowds,
because the crowds regarded him as a prophet.
 21:33 “Listen to another parable: There was a
“A man planted a vineyard. He put a fence
around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a
watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers
and went on a journey.  12:2 At harvest time he
sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them
his portion of the crop.  12:3 But those tenants
seized his slave, beat him, and sent him away
empty-handed.  12:4 So he sent another slave
to them again. This one they struck on the head
and treated outrageously.  12:5 He sent another,
and that one they killed. This happened to many
others, some of whom were beaten, others
killed.  12:6 He had one left, his one dear son.
Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will
respect my son.’  12:7 But those tenants said to
one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill
him and the inheritance will be ours!’  12:8 So
they seized him, killed him, and threw his body
out of the vineyard.  12:9 What then will the
owner of the vineyard do? He will come and
destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to
others.  12:10 Have you not read this scripture:
‘The stone the builders rejected has become the
cornerstone.  12:11 This is from the Lord, and
it is marvelous in our eyes’?” 1  12:12 Now they
wanted to arrest him (but they feared the crowd),
because they realized that he told this parable
against them. So they left him and went away.
 12:1 Then he began to speak to them in parables:
Mark 12:1-12
parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it
to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a
long time.  20:10 When harvest time came, he
sent a slave to the tenants so that they would
give him his portion of the crop. However, the
tenants beat his slave and sent him away emptyhanded.  20:11 So he sent another slave. They beat
this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent
him away empty-handed.  20:12 So he sent still a
third. They even wounded this one, and threw him
out.  20:13 Then the owner of the vineyard said,
‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son;
perhaps they will respect him.’  20:14 But when
the tenants saw him, they said to one another,
‘This is the heir; let’s kill him so the inheritance
will be ours!’  20:15 So they threw him out of
the vineyard and killed him. What then will the
owner of the vineyard do to them?  20:16 He will
come and destroy those tenants and give the
vineyard to others.” When the people heard this,
they said, “May this never happen!”  20:17 But
Jesus looked straight at them and said, “Then
what is the meaning of that which is written:
‘The stone the builders rejected has become the
cornerstone’? 2  20:18 Everyone who falls on this
stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on
whom it falls will be crushed.”  20:19 Then the
experts in the law and the chief priests wanted to
arrest him that very hour, because they realized
he had told this parable against them. But they
were afraid of the people.

fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the
wedding banquet.”’  22:5 But they were indifferent and went away, one to
his farm, another to his business.  22:6 The rest seized his slaves, insolently
mistreated them, and killed them.  22:7 The king was furious! He sent his soldiers,
and they put those murderers to death and set their city on fire.  22:8 Then he
said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but the ones who had been invited
were not worthy.  22:9 So go into the main streets and invite everyone you find
to the wedding banquet.’  22:10 And those slaves went out into the streets and
gathered all they found, both bad and good, and the wedding hall was filled with
guests.  22:11 But when the king came in to see the wedding guests, he saw a
man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.  22:12 And he said to him,
‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But he had nothing
to say.  22:13 Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot and
throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of

the time for the banquet he sent his slave to tell those
who had been invited, ‘Come, because everything is now
ready.’  14:18 But one after another they all began to make
excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and
I must go out and see it. Please excuse me.’  14:19 Another
said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going out
to examine them. Please excuse me.’  14:20 Another said,
‘I just got married, and I cannot come.’  14:21 So the slave
came back and reported this to his master. Then the master
of the household was furious and said to his slave, ‘Go out
quickly to the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in
the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’  14:22 Then
the slave said, ‘Sir, what you instructed has been done, and
there is still room.’  14:23 So the master said to his slave,
‘Go out to the highways and country roads and urge people
to come in, so that my house will be filled.  14:24 For I tell
you, not one of those individuals who were invited will

him,  22:24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man
dies without having children, his brother must
marry the widow and father children for his
brother.’ 1  22:25 Now there were seven brothers
among us. The first one married and died, and
since he had no children he left his wife to his
brother.  22:26 The second did the same, and
the third, down to the seventh.  22:27 Last of
all, the woman died.  22:28 In the resurrection,
therefore, whose wife of the seven will she
be? For they all had married her.”  22:29 Jesus
answered them, “You are deceived, because
you don’t know the scriptures or the power
of God.  22:30 For in the resurrection they
neither marry nor are given in marriage, but
are like angels in heaven.  22:31 Now as for
the resurrection of the dead, have you not
read what was spoken to you by God,  22:32 ‘I
am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob’? 2 He is not the God
of the dead but of the living!”  22:33 When

Moses wrote for us: ‘If a man’s brother dies
and leaves a wife but no children, that man
must marry the widow and father children
for his brother.’ 1  12:20 There were seven
brothers. The first one married, and when he
died he had no children.  12:21 The second
married her and died without any children, and
likewise the third.  12:22 None of the seven had
children. Finally, the woman died too.  12:23 In
the resurrection, when they rise again, whose
wife will she be? For all seven had married
her.”  12:24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you
deceived for this reason, because you don’t know
the scriptures or the power of God?  12:25 For
when they rise from the dead, they neither marry
nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in
heaven.  12:26 Now as for the dead being raised,
have you not read in the book of Moses, in the
passage about the bush, how God said to him,
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob’? 2  12:27 He is not the
God of the dead but of the living. You are badly
mistaken!”  12:34 When Jesus saw that he had answered

him, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s
brother dies leaving a wife but no children, that
man must marry the widow and father children
for his brother. 1  20:29 Now there were seven
brothers. The first one married a woman and died
without children.  20:30 The second  20:31 and then
the third married her, and in this same way all seven
died, leaving no children.  20:32 Finally the woman
died too.  20:33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose
wife will the woman be? For all seven had married
her.”  20:34 So Jesus said to them, “The people of this
age marry and are given in marriage.  20:35 But those
who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in
the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are
given in marriage.  20:36 In fact, they can no longer
die, because they are equal to angels and are sons of
God, since they are sons of the resurrection.  20:37 But
even Moses revealed that the dead are raised in the
passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the
God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God
of Jacob. 2  20:38 Now he is not God of the dead, but
of the living, for all live before him.”  20:39 Then
some of the experts in the law answered, “Teacher,
you have spoken well!”  20:40 For they did not dare
any longer to ask him anything.

for they do not practice what they teach.  23:4 They tie
up heavy loads, hard to carry, and put them on men’s
shoulders, but they themselves are not willing even to
lift a finger to move them.  23:5 They do all their deeds to
be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide
and their tassels long.  23:6 They love the place of honor
at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues  23:7 and
elaborate greetings in the marketplaces, and to have
people call them ‘Rabbi.’  23:8 But you are not to be
called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher and you are
all brothers.  23:9 And call no one your ‘father’ on earth,
for you have one Father, who is in heaven.  23:10 Nor
are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one teacher,
the Christ.  23:11 The greatest among you will be
your servant.  23:12 And whoever exalts himself will
be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be
exalted.  23:13 “But woe to you, experts in the law and
you Pharisees, hypocrites! You keep locking people out
of the kingdom of heaven! For you neither enter nor
permit those trying to enter to go in.  23:14 [“Woe to you

Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the
gold sacred?  23:18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar
is bound by nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift
on it he is bound by the oath.’  23:19 You are blind! For
which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift

it and by everything on it.  23:21 And whoever swears
by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in
it.  23:22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the

selling, planting, building;  17:29 but on the day Lot went out

destroyed them all.  17:30 It will be the same on the day the
Son of Man is revealed.  17:31 On that day, anyone who is on

turn back.  17:32 Remember Lot’s wife!  17:33 Whoever tries to

women grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other

of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he
would not have let his house be broken into.  12:40 You also

 25:14 “For it is like a man going on a journey, who
summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to
them.  25:15 To one he gave five talents, to another
two, and to another one, each according to his ability.
Then he went on his journey.  25:16 The one who had
received five talents went off right away and put his
money to work and gained five more.  25:17 In the same
way, the one who had two gained two more.  25:18 But
the one who had received one talent went out and dug
a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money in
it.  25:19 After a long time, the master of those slaves
came and settled his accounts with them.  25:20 The
one who had received the five talents came and
brought five more, saying, ‘Sir, you entrusted me with
five talents. See, I have gained five more.’  25:21 His
master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave!
You have been faithful in a few things. I will put you
in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your
master.’  25:22 The one with the two talents also came
and said, ‘Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have
gained two more.’  25:23 His master answered, ‘Well
done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful
with a few things. I will put you in charge of many
things. Enter into the joy of your master.’  25:24 Then
the one who had received the one talent came and
said, ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting
where you did not sow, and gathering where you did
not scatter seed,  25:25 so I was afraid, and I went and
hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is
yours.’  25:26 But his master answered, ‘Evil and lazy
slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow
and gather where I didn’t scatter?  25:27 Then you
should have deposited my money with the bankers, and
on my return I would have received my money back
with interest!  25:28 Therefore take the talent from him
and give it to the one who has ten.  25:29 For the one
who has will be given more, and he will have more
than enough. But the one who does not have, even what
he has will be taken from him.  25:30 And throw that
worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

 13:34 It is like a man going on a

slaves in charge, assigning to each his
work, and commanded the doorkeeper
to stay alert.
Luke 19:11-27
 19:11 While the people were listening to these things,
Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was
near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the
kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.  1
9:12 Therefore he said, “A nobleman went to a distant
country to receive for himself a kingdom and then
return.  19:13 And he summoned ten of his slaves, gave
them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business with
these until I come back.’  19:14 But his citizens hated him
and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want
this man to be king over us!’  19:15 When he returned
after receiving the kingdom, he summoned these slaves
to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know
how much they had earned by trading.  19:16 So the
first one came before him and said, ‘Sir, your mina
has made ten minas more.’  19:17 And the king said to
him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been
faithful in a very small matter, you will have authority
over ten cities.’  19:18 Then the second one came and
said, ‘Sir, your mina has made five minas.’  19:19 So
the king said to him, ‘And you are to be over five
cities.’  19:20 Then another slave came and said, ‘Sir,
here is your mina that I put away for safekeeping in a
piece of cloth.  19:21 For I was afraid of you, because
you are a severe man. You withdraw what you did not
deposit and reap what you did not sow.’  19:22 The
king said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words,
you wicked slave! So you knew, did you, that I was
a severe man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit and
reaping what I didn’t sow?  19:23 Why then didn’t you
put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I
could have collected it with interest?’  19:24 And he
said to his attendants, ‘Take the mina from him, and
give it to the one who has ten.’  19:25 But they said to
him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas already!’  19:26 ‘I tell you
that everyone who has will be given more, but from
the one who does not have, even what he has will be
taken away.  19:27 But as for these enemies of mine
who did not want me to be their king, bring them here
and slaughter them in front of me!’”

you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this

and said, “Why do you speak to them in
parables?”  13:11 He replied, “You have
been given the opportunity to know the
secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but they
have not.  13:12 For whoever has will be
given more, and will have an abundance. But
whoever does not have, even what he has will
be taken from him.  13:13 For this reason I
speak to them in parables: Although they see
they do not see, and although they hear they do
not hear nor do they understand.  13:14 And
concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is
fulfilled that says: ‘You will listen carefully yet
will never understand, you will look closely
yet will never comprehend.  13:15 For the
heart of this people has become dull; they
are hard of hearing, and they have shut their
eyes, so that they would not see with their
eyes and hear with their ears and understand
with their hearts and turn, and I would heal
them.’1  13:16 “But your eyes are blessed
because they see, and your ears because they
hear.  13:17 For I tell you the truth, many
prophets and righteous people longed to see
what you see but did not see it, and to hear
what you hear but did not hear it.

so many miraculous signs before
them, they still refused to believe in
him,  12:38 so that the word of Isaiah
the prophet would be fulfilled. He said,
“Lord, who has believed our message,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord
been revealed?” 2  12:39 For this reason
they could not believe, because again
Isaiah said,  12:40 “He has blinded
their eyes and hardened their heart,
so that they would not see with their
eyes and understand with their heart,
and turn to me, and I would heal
them.” 1  12:41 Isaiah said these things
because he saw Christ’s glory, and
spoke about him.  12:42 Nevertheless,
even among the rulers many believed in
him, but because of the Pharisees they
would not confess Jesus to be the Christ,
so that they would not be put out of the
synagogue.  12:43 For they loved praise
from men more than praise from God.

 12:44 But Jesus shouted out, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,  12:45 and the one
who sees me sees the one who sent me.  12:46 I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not
remain in darkness.  12:47 If anyone hears my words and does not obey them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the
world, but to save the world.  12:48 The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will
judge him at the last day.  12:49 For I have not spoken from my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded
me what I should say and what I should speak.  12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Thus the things I say, I say

place at the table.  7:37 Then when a woman of that town,
who was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the
Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed
oil.  7:38 As she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she
began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with
her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the perfumed
oil.  7:39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him
saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,
he would know who and what kind of woman this is
who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”  7:40 So Jesus
answered him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
He replied, “Say it, Teacher.”  7:41 “A certain creditor had
two debtors; one owed him five hundred silver coins, and
the other fifty.  7:42 When they could not pay, he canceled
the debts of both. Now which of them will love him
more?”  7:43 Simon answered, “I suppose the one who had
the bigger debt canceled.” Jesus said to him, “You have
judged rightly.”  7:44 Then, turning toward the woman,
he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered
your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she
has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her
hair.  7:45 You gave me no kiss of greeting, but from the
time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.  7:46 You
did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my
feet with perfumed oil.  7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins,
which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much; but
the one who is forgiven little loves little.”  7:48 Then Jesus
said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”  7:49 But those who
were at the table with him began to say among themselves,
“Who is this, who even forgives sins?”  7:50 He said to the
woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

306. The Anointing in Bethany
John 12:1-8
six days before
the Passover, Jesus came to
Bethany, where Lazarus lived,
whom he had raised from the
dead.  12:2 So they prepared a
dinner for Jesus there. Martha
was serving, and Lazarus was
among those present at the
table with him.  12:3 Then Mary
took three quarters of a pound
of expensive aromatic oil from
pure nard and anointed the feet
of Jesus. She then wiped his feet
dry with her hair. (Now the house
was filled with the fragrance of
the perfumed oil.)  12:4 But Judas
Iscariot, one of his disciples (the
one who was going to betray
him) said,  12:5 “Why wasn’t
this oil sold for three hundred
silver coins and the money given
to the poor?”  12:6 (Now Judas
said this not because he was
concerned about the poor, but
because he was a thief. As keeper
of the money box, he used to steal
what was put into it.)  12:7 So
Jesus said, “Leave her alone.
She has kept it for the day of my
burial.  12:8 For you will always
have the poor with you, but you
will not always have me!”

observe the Passover with my disciples

priests  26:15 and said, “What will
you give me to betray him into your

coins for him.  26:16 From that time on,
Judas began looking for an opportunity
to betray him.
 26:14 Then one of the twelve, the one

Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’
disciples said to him, “Where do you
want us to prepare for you to eat the
Passover?”  14:13 He sent two of his
disciples and told them, “Go into the city,
and a man carrying a jar of water will
meet you. Follow him.  14:14 Wherever
he enters, tell the owner of the house,
‘The Teacher says, “Where is my guest
room where I may eat the Passover with
my disciples?”’  14:15 He will show
you a large room upstairs, furnished
and ready. Make preparations for us
there.”  14:16 So the disciples left, went
into the city, and found things just as
he had told them, and they prepared
the Passover.  14:17 Then, when it was
evening, he came to the house with the
twelve.
 14:12 Now on the first day of the

arranged to give him money.  22:6 So
Judas agreed and began looking for an

said to him, “Where do you want us

“Listen, when you have entered the

the Father had handed all things over to him, and that he had come from
God and was going back to God,  13:4 he got up from the meal, removed
his outer clothes, took a towel and tied it around himself.  13:5 He poured
water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to
dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.  13:6 Then he
came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my
feet?”  13:7 Jesus replied, “You do not understand what I am doing now,
but you will understand after these things.”  13:8 Peter said to him, “You
will never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I do not wash you, you have
no share with me.”  13:9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, wash not only
my feet, but also my hands and my head!”  13:10 Jesus replied, “The one
who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And
you disciples are clean, but not every one of you.”  13:11 (For Jesus knew
the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said, “Not every
one of you is clean.”)  13:12 So when Jesus had washed their feet and put
his outer clothing back on, he took his place at the table again and said to
them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?  13:13 You call me
‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and do so correctly, for that is what I am.  13:14 If
I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you too ought to
wash one another’s feet.  13:15 For I have given you an example—you
should do just as I have done for you.  13:16 I tell you the solemn truth,
the slave is not greater than his master, nor is the one who is sent as a
messenger greater than the one who sent him.  13:17 If you understand
these things, you will be blessed if you do them.  13:18 “What I am saying
does not refer to all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is
to fulfill the scripture, ‘The one who eats my bread has turned against
me.’ 1  13:19 I am telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it
happens you may believe that I am he.  13:20 I tell you the solemn truth,

accepts the one who sent me.”

spirit, and testified, “I tell you the solemn truth, one of you will betray

perplexed to know which of them he was talking about.  13:23 One of
his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was at the table to the right of Jesus
in a place of honor.  13:24 So Simon Peter gestured to this disciple
to ask Jesus who it was he was referring to.  13:25 Then the disciple
whom Jesus loved leaned back against Jesus’ chest and asked him,
“Lord, who is it?”  13:26 Jesus replied, “It is the one to whom I will
give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish.” Then he
dipped the piece of bread in the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot,
Simon’s son.  13:27 And after Judas took the piece of bread, Satan
entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are about to do, do
quickly.”  13:28 (Now none of those present at the table understood
why Jesus said this to Judas.  13:29 Some thought that, because Judas
had the money box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever they needed
for the feast, or to give something to the poor.)  13:30 Judas took the
piece of bread and went out immediately. (Now it was night.)

Matt. 26:21-25
 26:21 And while they were
eating he said, “I tell you the
truth, one of you will betray
me.”  26:22 They became greatly
distressed and each one began
to say to him, “Surely not I,
Lord?”  26:23 He answered, “The
one who has dipped his hand into
the bowl with me will betray
me.  26:24 The Son of Man will
go as it is written about him,
but woe to that man by whom
the Son of Man is betrayed! It
would be better for him if he had
never been born.”  26:25 Then
Judas, the one who would betray
him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”
Jesus replied, “You have said it
yourself.”
Mark 14:18-21
 14:18 While they were at the
table eating, Jesus said, “I tell you
the truth, one of you eating with
me will betray me.”  14:19 They
were distressed, and one by
one said to him, “Surely not
I?”  14:20 He said to them, “It
is one of the twelve, one who
dips his hand with me into the
bowl.  14:21 For the Son of Man
will go as it is written about him,
but woe to that man by whom the
Son of Man is betrayed! It would
be better for him if he had never
been born.”
Luke 22:21-23
 22:21 “But look, the hand of
the one who betrays me is with
me on the table.  22:22 For the
Son of Man is to go just as it
has been determined, but woe
to that man by whom he is
betrayed!”  22:23 So they began
to question one another as to
which of them it could possibly
be who would do this.
John 13:21-30
 13:21 When he had said these things, Jesus was greatly
distressed in spirit, and testified, “I tell you the solemn
truth, one of you will betray me.”  13:22 The disciples
began to look at one another, worried and perplexed to
know which of them he was talking about.  13:23 One of
his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was at the table to the
right of Jesus in a place of honor.  13:24 So Simon Peter
gestured to this disciple to ask Jesus who it was he was
referring to.  13:25 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved
leaned back against Jesus’ chest and asked him, “Lord, who
is it?”  13:26 Jesus replied, “It is the one to whom I will
give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish.”
Then he dipped the piece of bread in the dish and gave it
to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.  13:27 And after Judas took
the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to
him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”  13:28 (Now
none of those present at the table understood why Jesus
said this to Judas.  13:29 Some thought that, because Judas
had the money box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever
they needed for the feast, or to give something to the
poor.)  13:30 Judas took the piece of bread and went out
immediately. (Now it was night.)

feet and put his outer clothing back on, he
took his place at the table again and said to
them, “Do you understand what I have done
for you?  13:13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and
‘Lord,’ and do so correctly, for that is what I
am.  13:14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, you too ought to wash
one another’s feet.  13:15 For I have given you
an example—you should do just as I have done
for you.  13:16 I tell you the solemn truth, the
slave is not greater than his master, nor is the
one who is sent as a messenger greater than the
one who sent him.  13:17 If you understand
these things, you will be blessed if you do
them.
 13:12 So when Jesus had washed their
outer clothes, took a towel and tied it around
himself.  13:5 He poured water into the
washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet
and to dry them with the towel he had wrapped
around himself.

 13:4 he got up from the meal, removed his
while. You will look for me, and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ now I tell
you the same.  13:34 “I give you a new commandment—to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one
another.  13:35 Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”
 13:31 When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.  13:32 If God is glorified
in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him right away.  13:33 Children, I am still with you for a little

he must be last of all and servant of all.”
 9:35 After he sat down, he called the twelve
over which of them was to be regarded as the
greatest.  22:25 So Jesus said to them, “The
kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and
those in authority over them are called ‘benef
actors.’  22:26 Not so with you; instead the one
who is greatest among you must become like
the youngest, and the leader like the one who
serves.  22:27 For who is greater, the one who
is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is
it not the one who is seated at the table? But I
am among you as one who serves.  22:28 “You
are the ones who have remained with me in my
trials.  22:29 Thus I grant to you a kingdom,
just as my Father granted to me,  22:30 that you
may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
 22:24 A dispute also started among them
heard this, they became angry
with James and John.  10:42 Jesus
called them and said to them,
“You know that those who are
recognized as rulers of the Gentiles
lord it over them, and those in high
positions use their authority over
them.  10:43 But it is not this way
among you. Instead whoever wants
to be great among you must be
your servant,  10:44 and whoever
wants to be first among you must
be the slave of all.  10:45 For even
the Son of Man did not come to be
served but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.”

not be this way among you! Instead
whoever wants to be great among
you must be your servant,  20:27 and
whoever wants to be first among you
must be your slave—  20:28 just as the
Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.”  19:28 Jesus said to
them, “I tell you the truth: In the age
when all things are renewed, when the
Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,
you who have followed me will also sit
on twelve thrones, judging the twelve

I have said these things to you.  16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you,

because they do not believe in me;  16:10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;  16:11 and concerning judgment,

world?”  14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and
take up residence with him.  14:24 The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine,

Father’s house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you.  14:3 And if I go and
make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too.  14:4 And you know
the way where I am going.”  14:5 Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”  14:6 Jesus
replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  14:7 If you have known me, you
will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him.”  14:8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and
we will be content.”  14:9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me, Philip? The person who
has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?  14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and
the Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father residing in me performs his
miraculous deeds.  14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me, believe because of
the miraculous deeds themselves.  14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds
that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father.  14:13 And I will do whatever you ask
in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

326. Sorrow Turned to Joy
John 16:23-28
 16:23 At that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will
give you.  16:24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, so that your joy may be
complete.  16:25 “I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; a time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in
obscure figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father.  16:26 At that time you will ask in my name, and I do not say that I will ask
the Father on your behalf.  16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from
God.  16:28 I came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn, I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

to one another, “What is the meaning of what he is saying, ‘In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will
see me,’ and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”  16:18 So they kept on repeating, “What is the meaning of what he says, ‘In a little
while’? We do not understand what he is talking about.”  16:19 Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about these things, so he
said to them, “Are you asking each other about this—that I said, ‘In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you
will see me’?  16:20 I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness
will turn into joy.  16:21 When a woman gives birth, she has distress because her time has come, but when her child is born, she no
longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.  16:22 So also you have sorrow
now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. 1

 16:5 But now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’  16:6 Instead your hearts
are filled with sadness because I have said these things to you.  16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going
away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.  16:8 And when he comes, he
will prove the world wrong concerning sin and righteousness and judgment—  16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe
in me;  16:10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer;  16:11 and concerning
judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.  16:12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear
them now.  16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority,
but will speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come.  16:14 He will glorify me, because he will receive from me what
is mine and will tell it to you.  16:15 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what

world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as
we are one.  17:12 When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of
them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.  17:13 But now I am coming to you, and
I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.  17:14 I have given them your word,
and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.  17:15 I am not asking
you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.  17:16 They do not belong to the world just as I
do not belong to the world.  17:17 Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth.  17:18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent
them into the world.  17:19 And I set myself apart on their behalf, so that they too may be truly set apart.  17:20 “I am not praying
only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony,  17:21 that they will all be one, just as
you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.  17:22 The glory
you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one—  17:23 I in them and you in me—that they may be
completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.  17:24 “Father,
I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me
before the creation of the world.  17:25 Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men know
that you sent me.  17:26 I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me
with may be in them, and I may be in them.”
 17:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your
Son, so that your Son may glorify you—  17:2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal
life to everyone you have given him.  17:3 Now this is eternal life—that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
you sent.  17:4 I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.  17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side
with the glory I had with you before the world was created.  17:6 “I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the
world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.  17:7 Now they understand that everything
you have given me comes from you,  17:8 because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really
understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.  17:9 I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on
behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.  17:10 Everything I have belongs to you,
and everything you have belongs to me, and I have been glorified by them.  17:11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the

know everything and do not need anyone to ask you anything. Because of this we believe that you have come from God.”  16:31 Jesus
replied, “Do you now believe?  16:32 Look, a time is coming—and has come—when you will be scattered, each one to his own
home, and I will be left alone. Yet I am not alone, because my Father is with me.  16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you

place called Gethsemane, and he said to the
disciples, “Sit here while I go over there
and pray.”  26:37 He took with him Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee, and became
anguished and distressed.  26:38 Then he
said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved,
even to the point of death. Remain here
and stay awake with me.”  26:39 Going a
little farther, he threw himself down with
his face to the ground and prayed, “My
Father, if possible, let this cup pass from
me! Yet not what I will, but what you
will.”  26:40 Then he came to the disciples
and found them sleeping. He said to Peter,
“So, couldn’t you stay awake with me
for one hour?  26:41 Stay awake and pray
that you will not fall into temptation.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is
weak.”  26:42 He went away a second
time and prayed, “My Father, if this cup
cannot be taken away unless I drink it,
your will must be done.”  26:43 He came
again and found them sleeping; they could
not keep their eyes open.  26:44 So leaving
them again, he went away and prayed for
the third time, saying the same thing once
more.  26:45 Then he came to the disciples
and said to them, “Are you still sleeping
and resting? Look, the hour is approaching,
and the Son of Man is betrayed into the
hands of sinners.  26:46 Get up, let us go.
Look! My betrayer is approaching!”  26:3

to his disciples, “Sit here while I

and John with him, and became very
troubled and distressed.  14:34 He said
to them, “My soul is deeply grieved,
even to the point of death. Remain here
and stay alert.”  14:35 Going a little
farther, he threw himself to the ground
and prayed that if it were possible the
hour would pass from him.  14:36 He
said, “Abba, Father, all things are
possible for you. Take this cup away
from me. Yet not what I will, but what
you will.”  14:37 Then he came and
found them sleeping, and said to Peter,
“Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you
stay awake for one hour?  14:38 Stay
awake and pray that you will not fall
into temptation. The spirit is willing,

away again and prayed the same
thing.  14:40 When he came again he
found them sleeping; they could not
keep their eyes open. And they did not
know what to tell him.  14:41 He came
a third time and said to them, “Are you
still sleeping and resting? Enough of

 14:32 Then they went to a place
way, as he customarily did, to the Mount

him.  22:40 When he came to the place,
he said to them, “Pray that you will not
fall into temptation.”  22:41 He went
away from them about a stone’s throw,
knelt down, and prayed,  22:42 “Father,
if you are willing, take this cup away
from me. Yet not my will but yours
be done.”  22:43 [Then an angel
from heaven appeared to him and
strengthened him.]  22:44 And in his
anguish he prayed more earnestly,
and his sweat was like drops of blood
falling to the ground.]  22:45 When
he got up from prayer, he came to the
disciples and found them sleeping,
exhausted from grief.  22:46 So he said
to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get

an orchard there, and he and his

twelve, arrived. With him
was a large crowd armed with
swords and clubs, sent by the
chief priests and elders of the
people.  26:48 (Now the betrayer
had given them a sign, saying,
“The one I kiss is the man. Arrest
him!”)  26:49 Immediately he
went up to Jesus and said,
“Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed
him.  26:50 Jesus said to him,
“Friend, do what you are here
to do.” Then they came and
took hold of Jesus and arrested
him.  26:51 But one of those
with Jesus grabbed his sword,
drew it out, and struck the high
priest’s slave, cutting off his
ear.  26:52 Then Jesus said to
him, “Put your sword back in
its place! For all who take hold
of the sword will die by the
sword.  26:53 Or do you think that
I cannot call on my Father, and
that he would send me more than
twelve legions of angels right
now?  26:54 How then would the
scriptures that say it must happen
this way be fulfilled?”  26:55 At
that moment Jesus said to the
crowd, “Have you come out
with swords and clubs to arrest
me like you would an outlaw?
Day after day I sat teaching in
the temple courts, yet you did
not arrest me.  26:56 But this has
happened so that the scriptures of
the prophets would be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples left him
and fled.
 26:47 While
was still speaking, Judas, one
of the twelve, arrived. With
him came a crowd armed with
swords and clubs, sent by the
chief priests and experts in the
law and elders.  14:44 (Now the
betrayer had given them a sign,
saying, “The one I kiss is the
man. Arrest him and lead him
away under guard.”)  14:45 When
Judas arrived, he went up to Jesus
immediately and said, “Rabbi!”
and kissed him.  14:46 Then they
took hold of him and arrested
him.  14:47 One of the bystanders
drew his sword and struck the
high priest’s slave, cutting off
his ear.  14:48 Jesus said to them,
“Have you come with swords
and clubs to arrest me like you
would an outlaw?  14:49 Day
after day I was with you, teaching
in the temple courts, yet you
did not arrest me. But this has
happened so that the scriptures

all the disciples left him and
fled.  14:51 A young man was
following him, wearing only a
linen cloth. They tried to arrest
him,  14:52 but he ran off naked,
leaving his linen cloth behind.

 14:43 Right away, while Jesus
suddenly a crowd appeared, and
the man named Judas, one of
the twelve, was leading them.
He walked up to Jesus to kiss
him.  22:48 But Jesus said to him,
“Judas, would you betray the Son
of Man with a kiss?”  22:49 When
those who were around him
saw what was about to happen,
they said, “Lord, should we
use our swords?”  22:50 Then
one of them struck the high
priest’s slave, cutting off his
right ear.  22:51 But Jesus said,
“Enough of this!” And he
touched the man’s ear and healed
him.  22:52 Then Jesus said to
the chief priests, the officers of
the temple guard, and the elders
who had come out to get him,
“Have you come out with swords
and clubs like you would against
an outlaw?  22:53 Day after
day when I was with you in the
temple courts, you did not arrest
me. But this is your hour, and
that of the power of darkness!”

 18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom
were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being
handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from

people assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.

his disciples.)  18:3 So Judas obtained a squad of soldiers
and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees.
They came to the orchard with lanterns and torches and
weapons.  18:4 Then Jesus, because he knew everything
that was going to happen to him, came and asked them,
“Who are you looking for?”  18:5 They replied, “Jesus the
Nazarene.” He told them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, the one
who betrayed him, was standing there with them.)  18:6 So
when Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they retreated and
fell to the ground.  18:7 Then Jesus asked them again,
“Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the
Nazarene.”  18:8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am he. If
you are looking for me, let these men go.”  18:9 He said this
to fulfill the word he had spoken, “I have not lost a single
one of those whom you gave me.”  18:10 Then Simon Peter,
who had a sword, pulled it out and struck the high priest’s
slave, cutting off his right ear. (Now the slave’s name was
Malchus.)  18:11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword
back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father
has given me?”  18:12 Then the squad of soldiers with their
commanding officer and the officers of the Jewish leaders
arrested Jesus and tied him up.

 26:57 Now the ones who had
arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas,
the high priest, in whose house the
experts in the law and the elders
had gathered.  26:58 But Peter was
following him from a distance, all
the way to the high priest’s courtyard.
After going in, he sat with the guards
to see the outcome.  26:59 The chief
priests and the whole Sanhedrin
were trying to find false testimony
against Jesus so that they could put
him to death.  26:60 But they did
not find anything, though many
false witnesses came forward.
Finally two came forward  26:61 and
declared, “This man said, ‘I am able
to destroy the temple of God and
rebuild it in three days.’”  26:62 So
the high priest stood up and said to
him, “Have you no answer? What is
this that they are testifying against
you?”  26:63 But Jesus was silent.
The high priest said to him, “I charge
you under oath by the living God, tell
us if you are the Christ, the Son of
God.”  26:64 Jesus said to him, “You
have said it yourself. But I tell you,
from now on you will see the Son
of Man sitting at the right hand 1 of
the Power and coming on the clouds
of heaven.” 2  26:65 Then the high
priest tore his clothes and declared,
“He has blasphemed! Why do we
still need witnesses? Now you have
heard the blasphemy!  26:66 What
is your verdict?” They answered,
“He is guilty and deserves
death.”  26:67 Then they spat in his
face and struck him with their fists.
And some slapped him,  26:68 saying,
“Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who
hit you?”  
Luke 22:54-67
 22:54 Then they arrested Jesus, led
him away, and brought him into the
high priest’s house. But Peter was
following at a distance.  22:55 When
they had made a fire in the middle of the
courtyard and sat down together, Peter
sat down among them.  22:56 Then a
slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the
firelight, stared at him and said, “This
man was with him too!”  22:57 But
Peter denied it: “Woman, I don’t know
him!”  22:58 Then a little later someone
else saw him and said, “You are one
of them too.” But Peter said, “Man,
I am not!”  22:59 And after about an
hour still another insisted, “Certainly
this man was with him, because he
too is a Galilean.”  22:60 But Peter
said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re
talking about!” At that moment,
while he was still speaking, a rooster
crowed.  22:61 Then the Lord turned
and looked straight at Peter, and Peter
remembered the word of the Lord,
how he had said to him, “Before a
rooster crows today, you will deny
me three times.”  22:62 And he went
outside and wept bitterly.  22:63 Now
the men who were holding Jesus
under guard began to mock him and
beat him.  22:64 They blindfolded him
and asked him repeatedly, “Prophesy!
Who hit you?”  22:65 They also
said many other things against him,
reviling him.  22:66 When day came,
the council of the elders of the people
gathered together, both the chief
priests and the experts in the law.
Then they led Jesus away to their
council  22:67 and said, “If you are the
Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If
I tell you, you will not believe,  
John 18:13-24
 18:13 They brought him first to Annas, for
he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who
was high priest that year.  18:14 (Now it
was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish
leaders that it was to their advantage that
one man die for the people.)  18:15 Simon
Peter and another disciple followed them
as they brought Jesus to Annas. (Now the
other disciple was acquainted with the
high priest, and he went with Jesus into the
high priest’s courtyard.)  18:16 But Simon
Peter was left standing outside by the door.
So the other disciple who was acquainted
with the high priest came out and spoke to
the slave girl who watched the door, and
brought Peter inside.  18:17 The girl who
was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You’re
not one of this man’s disciples too, are
you?” He replied, “I am not.”  18:18 (Now
the slaves and the guards were standing
around a charcoal fire they had made,
warming themselves because it was
cold. Peter also was standing with them,
warming himself.)  18:19 While this was
happening, the high priest questioned
Jesus about his disciples and about his
teaching.  18:20 Jesus replied, “I have
spoken publicly to the world. I always
taught in the synagogues and in the
temple courts, where all the Jewish people
assemble together. I have said nothing in
secret.  18:21 Why do you ask me? Ask
those who heard what I said. They know
what I said.”  18:22 When Jesus had said
this, one of the high priest’s officers who
stood nearby struck him on the face and
said, “Is that the way you answer the high
priest?”  18:23 Jesus replied, “If I have
said something wrong, confirm what is
wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why strike
me?”  18:24 Then Annas sent him, still
tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.  
332. Jesus before the Sanhedrin (Peter’s Denial)
Mark 14:53-65
 14:53 Then they led Jesus to the
high priest, and all the chief priests
and elders and experts in the law
came together.  14:54 And Peter had
followed him from a distance, up to
the high priest’s courtyard. He was
sitting with the guards and warming
himself by the fire.  14:55 The chief
priests and the whole Sanhedrin
were looking for evidence against
Jesus so that they could put him
to death, but they did not find
anything.  14:56 Many gave false
testimony against him, but their
testimony did not agree.  14:57 Some
stood up and gave this false testimony
against him:  14:58 “We heard him say,
‘I will destroy this temple made with
hands and in three days build another
not made with hands.’”  14:59 Yet
even on this point their testimony
did not agree.  14:60 Then the high
priest stood up before them and
asked Jesus, “Have you no answer?
What is this that they are testifying
against you?”  14:61 But he was
silent and did not answer. Again
the high priest questioned him,
“Are you the Christ, the Son of the
Blessed One?”  14:62 “I am,” said
Jesus, “and you will see the Son of
Man sitting at the right hand 1 of the
Power and coming with the clouds of
heaven.” 2  14:63 Then the high priest
tore his clothes and said, “Why do we
still need witnesses?  14:64 You have
heard the blasphemy! What is your
verdict?” They all condemned him
as deserving death.  14:65 Then some
began to spit on him, and to blindfold
him, and to strike him with their fists,
saying, “Prophesy!” The guards also
took him and beat him.

and said, “You also were with Jesus the
Galilean.”  26:70 But he denied it in front
of them all: “I don’t know what you’re
talking about!”  26:71 When he went out
to the gateway, another slave girl saw him
and said to the people there, “This man was
with Jesus the Nazarene.”  26:72 He denied
it again with an oath, “I do not know the
man!”  26:73 After a little while, those
standing there came up to Peter and said,
“You really are one of them too—even
your accent gives you away!”  26:74 At
that he began to curse, and he swore with
an oath, “I do not know the man!” At that
moment a rooster crowed.  26:75 Then
Peter remembered what Jesus had said:
“Before the rooster crows, you will deny
me three times.” And he went outside and
wept bitterly.
 26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in
priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus
to execute him.  27:2 They tied him up, led him away,
and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
 26:55 At that moment Jesus said to the crowd, “Have
you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me like
you would an outlaw? Day after day I sat teaching in the
temple courts, yet you did not arrest me.
 27:1 When it was early in the morning, all the chief
was sitting outside in the courtyard. A slave girl
came to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the
Galilean.”  26:70 But he denied it in front of them all:
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”  26:71 When
he went out to the gateway, another slave girl saw him

girls came by.  14:67 When she saw Peter
warming himself, she looked directly at him
and said, “You also were with that Nazarene,
Jesus.”  14:68 But he denied it: “I don’t even
understand what you’re talking about!” Then
he went out to the gateway, and a rooster
crowed.  14:69 When the slave girl saw him,
she began again to say to the bystanders, “This
man is one of them.”  14:70 But he denied it
again. A short time later the bystanders again
said to Peter, “You must be one of them,
because you are also a Galilean.”  14:71 Then
he began to curse, and he swore with an oath,
“I do not know this man you are talking
about!”  14:72 Immediately a rooster crowed
a second time. Then Peter remembered what
Jesus had said to him: “Before a rooster crows
twice, you will deny me three times.” And he
broke down and wept.

warming himself, she looked directly at him and said,
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus.”  14:68 But

14:65 Then some began to spit on him, and to blindfold
him as he sat in the firelight,
stared at him and said, “This man
was with him too!”  22:57 But
Peter denied it: “Woman, I don’t
know him!”  22:58 Then a little
later someone else saw him
and said, “You are one of them
too.” But Peter said, “Man, I am
not!”  22:59 And after about an hour
still another insisted, “Certainly this
man was with him, because he too
is a Galilean.”  22:60 But Peter said,
“Man, I don’t know what you’re
talking about!” At that moment,
while he was still speaking, a
rooster crowed.  22:61 Then the
Lord turned and looked straight at
Peter, and Peter remembered the

say so.”  27:12 But when
he was accused by the chief
priests and the elders, he did
not respond.  27:13 Then
Pilate said to him, “Don’t

into the governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him
no answer.  19:10 So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the
authority to release you, and to crucify you?”  19:11 Jesus replied, “You would have no authority
over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over
to you is guilty of greater sin.”  19:12 From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the
Jewish leaders shouted out, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who
claims to be a king opposes Caesar!”  19:13 When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus
outside and sat down on the judgment seat in the place called “The Stone Pavement” (Gabbatha
in Aramaic).  19:14 (Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon.) Pilate said
to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!”  19:15 Then they shouted out, “Away with him!
Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate asked, “Shall I crucify your king?” The high priests replied,
“We have no king except Caesar!”
 19:8 When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever,  19:9 and he went back
 23:9 So Herod questioned him
at considerable length; Jesus gave
him no answer.  23:10 The chief
priests and the experts in the law
were there, vehemently accusing
him.  23:13 Then Pilate called
together the chief priests, the rulers,
and the people,  23:14 and said to
them, “You brought me this man as
one who was misleading the people.
When I examined him before you,
I did not find this man guilty of
anything you accused him of doing.
him yourselves and pass judgment on him according to your own law!” The
Jewish leaders replied, “We cannot legally put anyone to death.”  18:32 (This
happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind
of death he was going to die.)  18:33 So Pilate went back into the governor’s
residence, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the king of the
Jews?”  18:34 Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or
have others told you about me?”  18:35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am
I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have
you done?”  18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my
kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me
from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom
is not from here.”  18:37 Then Pilate said, “So you are a king!” Jesus replied,
“You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I
came into the world—to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the
truth listens to my voice.”  18:38 Pilate asked, “What is truth?” When he had
said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders and announced, “I find no
basis for an accusation against him.
 18:29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, “What accusation do you
bring against this man?”  18:30 They replied, “If this man were not a criminal,
we would not have handed him over to you.”  18:31 Pilate told them, “Take
him, saying, “We found this
man subverting our nation,
forbidding us to pay the
tribute tax to Caesar and
claiming that he himself
is Christ, a king.”  23:3 So
Pilate asked Jesus, “Are
you the king of the Jews?”
He replied, “You say
so.”  23:4 Then Pilate said
to the chief priests and the
crowds, “I find no basis
for an accusation against
this man.”  23:5 But they
persisted in saying, “He
incites the people by teaching
throughout all Judea. It

accustomed to release one prisoner to the
crowd, whomever they wanted.  27:16 At that
time they had in custody a notorious prisoner
named Jesus Barabbas.  27:17 So after they had
assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you
want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or
Jesus who is called the Christ?”  27:18 (For he
knew that they had handed him over because of
envy.)  27:19 As he was sitting on the judgment
seat, his wife sent a message to him: “Have
nothing to do with that innocent man; I have
suffered greatly as a result of a dream about
him today.”  27:20 But the chief priests and the
elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas
and to have Jesus killed.  27:21 The governor
asked them, “Which of the two do you want me
to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas!
”  27:22 Pilate said to them, “Then what should
I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?” They
all said, “Crucify him!”  27:23 He asked, “Why?
What wrong has he done?” But they shouted
more insistently, “Crucify him!”
 27:15 During the feast the governor was
to release one prisoner to the people,
whomever they requested.  15:7 A man
named Barabbas was imprisoned with
rebels who had committed murder
during an insurrection.  15:8 Then the
crowd came up and began to ask Pilate
to release a prisoner for them, as was
his custom.  15:9 So Pilate asked them,
“Do you want me to release the king
of the Jews for you?”  15:10 (For he
knew that the chief priests had handed
him over because of envy.)  15:11 But
the chief priests stirred up the
crowd to have him release Barabbas
instead.  15:12 So Pilate spoke to them
again, “Then what do you want me
to do with the one you call king of
the Jews?”  15:13 They shouted back,
“Crucify him!”  15:14 Pilate asked them,
“Why? What has he done wrong?” But
they shouted more insistently, “Crucify
him!”

us!”  23:19 (This was a man who
had been thrown into prison for

and for murder.)  23:20 Pilate
addressed them once again
because he wanted to release
Jesus.  23:21 But they kept on
shouting, “Crucify, crucify
him!”  23:22 A third time he said
to them, “Why? What wrong
has he done? I have found him
guilty of no crime deserving
death. I will therefore flog him
and release him.”  23:23 But they
were insistent, demanding with
loud shouts that he be crucified.

replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die,

governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But
Jesus gave him no answer.  19:10 So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak
to me? Don’t you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify
you?”  19:11 Jesus replied, “You would have no authority over me at all,
unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me
over to you is guilty of greater sin.”  19:12 From this point on, Pilate tried
to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out, “If you release this man,
you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes
Caesar!”  19:13 When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus outside and
sat down on the judgment seat in the place called “The Stone Pavement”

the place called “The Place of the Skull” (called in
Aramaic Golgotha).  19:18 There they crucified him
along with two others, one on each side, with Jesus
in the middle.  19:19 Pilate also had a notice written
and fastened to the cross, which read: “Jesus the
Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”  19:20 Thus many
of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem read this notice,
because the place where Jesus was crucified was
near the city, and the notice was written in Aramaic,
Latin, and Greek.  19:21 Then the chief priests of the
Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The king of the
Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am king of the
Jews.’”  19:22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I
have written.”  19:23 Now when the soldiers crucified
Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares,
one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now
the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom
as a single piece.)  19:24 So the soldiers said to one
another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice to see who
will get it.” This took place to fulfill the scripture that
says, “They divided my garments among them, and
for my clothing they threw dice.” 1 So the soldiers
did these things.  19:25 Now standing beside Jesus’
cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the
wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  19:26 So when
Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved
standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, look,
here is your son!”  19:27 He then said to his disciple,
“Look, here is your mother!” From that very time the
disciple took her into his own home.

tombs after his resurrection and went into the holy
city and appeared to many people.)  27:54 Now
when the centurion and those with him who were
guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took
place, they were extremely terrified and said,
“Truly this one was God’s Son!”
 27:45 Now from noon until three, darkness came
over all the land.  27:46 At about three o’clock
came over the whole land until three
in the afternoon.  15:34 Around three
o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which
means, “My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?” 1  15:35 When some of the
bystanders heard it they said, “Listen, he is
calling for Elijah!”  15:36 Then someone
ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on
a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying,
“Leave him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will
come to take him down!”  15:37 But Jesus
cried out with a loud voice and breathed
his last.  15:38 And the temple curtain was
torn in two, from top to bottom.  15:39 Now
when the centurion, who stood in front of
him, saw how he died, he said, “Truly this
man was God’s Son!”

light failed. The temple curtain
was torn in two.  23:46 Then
Jesus, calling out with a loud
voice, said, “Father, into your
hands I commit my spirit!” 2
And after he said this he
breathed his last.  23:47 Now
when the centurion saw what
had happened, he praised God
and said, “Certainly this man
was innocent!”  23:48 And all
the crowds that had assembled
for this spectacle, when they saw
what had taken place, returned
home beating their breasts.

Matt. 28:1-8
after the Sabbath,
at dawn on the first day of the
week, Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary went to look at the
tomb.  28:2 Suddenly there was a
severe earthquake, for an angel of
the Lord descending from heaven
came and rolled away the stone
and sat on it.  28:3 His appearance
was like lightning, and his clothes
were white as snow.  28:4 The
guards were shaken and became
like dead men because they were
so afraid of him.  28:5 But the
angel said to the women, “Do
not be afraid; I know that you
are looking for Jesus, who was
crucified.  28:6 He is not here, for
he has been raised, just as he said.
Come and see the place where he
was lying.  28:7 Then go quickly
and tell his disciples, ‘He has
been raised from the dead. He is
going ahead of you into Galilee.
You will see him there.’ Listen,
I have told you!”  28:8 So they
left the tomb quickly, with fear
and great joy, and ran to tell his
disciples.
be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to
Galilee. They will see me there.”
 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not
 26:32 But after I am raised, I will go
ahead of you into Galilee.”
 28:1 Now
 14:28 But after I am raised, I will go
ahead of you into Galilee.”
Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother
of James, and Salome bought
aromatic spices so that they might
go and anoint him.  16:2 And
very early on the first day of the
week, at sunrise, they went to the
tomb.  16:3 They had been asking
each other, “Who will roll away
the stone for us from the entrance
to the tomb?”  16:4 But when
they looked up, they saw that the
stone, which was very large, had
been rolled back.  16:5 Then as
they went into the tomb, they saw
a young man dressed in a white
robe sitting on the right side; and
they were alarmed.  16:6 But he
said to them, “Do not be alarmed.
You are looking for Jesus the
Nazarene, who was crucified. He
has been raised! He is not here.
Look, there is the place where
they laid him.  16:7 But go, tell
his disciples, even Peter, that
he is going ahead of you into
Galilee. You will see him there,
just as he told you.”  16:8 Then
they went out and ran from the
tomb, for terror and bewilderment
had seized them. And they said
nothing to anyone, because they
were afraid.
Mark 16:1-8
 16:1 When the Sabbath was over,
 23:56 Then they returned and prepared aromatic
spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested
according to the commandment.
at early dawn, the women went to the
tomb, taking the aromatic spices they
had prepared.  24:2 They found that
the stone had been rolled away from
the tomb,  24:3 but when they went in,
they did not find the body of the Lord
Jesus.  24:4 While they were perplexed
about this, suddenly two men stood
beside them in dazzling attire.  24:5 The
women were terribly frightened and
bowed their faces to the ground, but the
men said to them, “Why do you look for
the living among the dead?  24:6 He is
not here, but has been raised! Remember
how he told you, while he was still in
Galilee,  24:7 that the Son of Man must
be delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and on the third
day rise again.”  24:8 Then the women
remembered his words,  24:9 and when
they returned from the tomb they told
all these things to the eleven and to
all the rest.  24:10 Now it was Mary
Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother
of James, and the other women with
them who told these things to the
apostles.  24:11 But these words seemed
like pure nonsense to them, and they did
not believe them.  24:12 But Peter got
up and ran to the tomb. He bent down
and saw only the strips of linen cloth;
then he went home, wondering what
had happened.
 24:1 Now on the first day of the week,
Luke 24:1-12
 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, “I
have seen the Lord!” And she told them what Jesus had said
to her.  20:17 Jesus replied, “Do not touch me, for I have not
yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I
am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and
your God.’”
while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to
the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved
away from the entrance.  20:2 So she went running
to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus
loved and told them, “They have taken the Lord
from the tomb, and we don’t know where they have
put him!”  20:3 Then Peter and the other disciple
set out to go to the tomb.  20:4 The two were
running together, but the other disciple ran faster
than Peter and reached the tomb first.  20:5 He
bent down and saw the strips of linen cloth lying
there, but he did not go in.  20:6 Then Simon
Peter, who had been following him, arrived and
went right into the tomb. He saw the strips of
linen cloth lying there,  20:7 and the face cloth,
which had been around Jesus’ head, not lying with
the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place
by itself.  20:8 Then the other disciple, who had
reached the tomb first, came in, and he saw and
believed.  20:9 (For they did not yet understand
the scripture that Jesus must rise from the
dead.)  20:10 So the disciples went back to their
homes.  20:11 But Mary stood outside the tomb
weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked
into the tomb.  20:12 And she saw two angels in
white sitting where Jesus’ body had been lying,
one at the head and one at the feet.  20:13 They
said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
Mary replied, “They have taken my Lord away,
and I do not know where they have put him!”

turned around and saw Jesus standing
there, but she did not know that it was

he was the gardener, she said to him,
“Sir, if you have carried him away,
tell me where you have put him, and I
will take him.”  20:16 Jesus said to her,

Luke 24:13-35
 24:13 Now that very day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about
seven miles from Jerusalem.  24:14 They were talking to each other about all the things that had
happened.  24:15 While they were talking and debating these things, Jesus himself approached and
began to accompany them  24:16 (but their eyes were kept from recognizing him).  24:17 Then he said
to them, “What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?” And they stood
still, looking sad.  24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor
to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?”  24:19 He said to
them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man who, with
his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people;  24:20 and how
our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and crucified him.  24:21 But
we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Not only this, but it is now the
third day since these things happened.  24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us.
They were at the tomb early this morning,  24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came
back and said they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.  24:24 Then some of those
who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not
see him.”  24:25 So he said to them, “You foolish people—how slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken!  24:26 Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and enter into
his glory?”  24:27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things
written about himself in all the scriptures.  24:28 So they approached the village where they were
going. He acted as though he wanted to go farther,  24:29 but they urged him, “Stay with us, because
it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So he went in to stay with them.  24:30 When
he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to
them.  24:31 At this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out of
their sight.  24:32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us while he was speaking
with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?”  24:33 So they got up that very hour
and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and those with them gathered together  24:34 and
saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has appeared to Simon!”  24:35 Then they told what had
happened on the road, and how they recognized him when he broke the bread.

his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced
when they saw the Lord.  20:21 So Jesus said to
them again, “Peace be with you. Just as the Father
has sent me, I also send you.”  20:22 And after he
said this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive
the Holy Spirit.  20:23 If you forgive anyone’s sins,
they are forgiven; if you retain anyone’s sins, they
are retained.”

 20:19 On the evening of that day, the first day of
“We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds
from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!”  20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the
house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with
you!”  20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do
not continue in your unbelief, but believe.”  20:28 Thomas replied to him, “My Lord and my God!”  20:29 Jesus said to him, “Have
you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed.”
 20:24 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.  20:25 The other disciples told him,

which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus
sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.  5:4 When he had finished speaking, he
said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”  5:5 Simon
answered, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will
lower the nets.”  5:6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets
started to tear.  5:7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help
them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to sink.  5:8 But when
Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I
am a sinful man!”  5:9 For Peter and all who were with him were astonished at the catch
of fish that they had taken,  5:10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were
Simon’s business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you
will be catching people.”  5:11 So when they had brought their boats to shore, they left
everything and followed him.
 5:1 Now Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing
around him to hear the word of God.  5:2 He saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen
had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.  5:3 He got into one of the boats,
(called Didymus), Nathanael (who was from Cana in Galilee), the sons
of Zebedee, and two other disciples of his were together.  21:3 Simon
Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they
replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught
nothing.  21:4 When it was already very early morning, Jesus stood
on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.  21:5 So
Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?”
They replied, “No.”  21:6 He told them, “Throw your net on the
right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the
net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of
fish.  21:7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the
Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in
his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged
into the sea.  21:8 Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat,
dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about
a hundred yards.  21:9 When they got out on the beach, they saw a
charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread.  21:10 Jesus said,
“Bring some of the fish you have just now caught.”  21:11 So Simon
Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish,
one hundred fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was
not torn.  21:12 “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said. But none of the
disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was
the Lord.  21:13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and
did the same with the fish.  21:14 This was now the third time Jesus
was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
 21:1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the
Sea of Tiberias. Now this is how he did so.  21:2 Simon Peter, Thomas

me more than these do?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus
told him, “Feed my lambs.”  21:16 Jesus said a second time, “Simon, son of
John, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus
told him, “Shepherd my sheep.”  21:17 Jesus said a third time, “Simon, son of
John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time,
“Do you love me?” and said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I

when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever
you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others
will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go.”  21:19 (Now Jesus
said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify
God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, “Follow me.”  21:20 Peter turned
around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This was
the disciple who had leaned back against Jesus’ chest at the meal and asked,
