They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were astonished, but those who followed him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them the things that would happen to him.

“Now listen. You will become silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

When the days of his ministry were completed, he went back home.

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

“He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end.”

In those days Mary set out and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah

“For you see, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me.

His mercy is from generation to generation

on those who fear him.

to Abraham and his descendants[fn] forever,

just as he spoke to our ancestors.

to shine on those who live in darkness

and the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the way of peace.

So everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.

When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were finished, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

Guided by the Spirit, he entered the temple. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform for him what was customary under the law,

a light for revelation to the Gentiles[fn]

and glory to your people Israel.

Then Simeon blessed them and told his mother Mary, “Indeed, this child is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be opposed[fn] ​— ​

When they had completed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

Every year his parents traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival.

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother kept all these things in her heart.

He went into all the vicinity of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

Every valley will be filled,

and every mountain and hill will be made low;[fn]

the crooked will become straight,

the rough ways smooth,

“The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

“His winnowing shovel is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with fire that never goes out.”

So he took him to Jerusalem, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.

Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity.

He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As usual, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read.

Then he said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb[fn] to me: ‘Doctor, heal yourself. What we've heard that took place in Capernaum, do here in your hometown also.' ”

“Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them except a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath.

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be silent and come out of him! ” And throwing him down before them, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all.

And news about him began to go out to every place in the vicinity.

When it was day, he went out and made his way to a deserted place. But the crowds were searching for him. They came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them.

And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.[fn]

He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then he sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat.

Then he ordered him to tell no one: “But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them.”

On one of those days while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and also from Jerusalem. And the Lord's power to heal was in him.

Since they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the roof tiles into the middle of the crowd before Jesus.

“But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” ​— ​he told the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, take your stretcher, and go home.”

“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, it will spill, and the skins will be ruined.

“how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat? He even gave some to those who were with him.”

On another Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. A man was there whose right hand was shriveled.

But he knew their thoughts and told the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand here.”[fn] So he got up and stood there.

During those days he went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God.

Then looking up at his disciples, he said:

Blessed are you who are poor,

because the kingdom of God is yours.

“Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure ​— ​pressed down, shaken together, and running over ​— ​will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

When he had concluded saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum.

When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

After John's messengers left, he began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

But since the Pharisees and experts in the law had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

Then one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.

Turning to 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, with her tears, has washed my feet and wiped them with her hair.

And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

“Still other seed fell on good ground; when it grew up, it produced fruit: a hundred times what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen.”

“As for the seed that fell among thorns, these are the ones who, when they have heard, go on their way and are choked with worries, riches, and pleasures of life, and produce no mature fruit.

“For nothing is concealed that won't be revealed, and nothing hidden that won't be made known and brought to light.

One day he and his disciples got into a boat, and he told them, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,

Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[fn] which is opposite Galilee.

For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was guarded, bound by chains and shackles, he would snap the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted places.

Then all the people of the Gerasene region[fn] asked him to leave them, because they were gripped by great fear. So getting into the boat, he returned.

“Go back to your home, and tell all that God has done for you.” And off he went, proclaiming throughout the town how much Jesus had done for him.

Just then, a man named Jairus came. He was a leader of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus's feet and pleaded with him to come to his house,

“Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has saved you.[fn] Go in peace.”

After he came to the house, he let no one enter with him except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.

“Take nothing for the road,” he told them, “no staff, no traveling bag, no bread, no money; and don't take an extra shirt.

When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus all that they had done. He took them along and withdrew privately to a[fn] town called Bethsaida.

Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to him, “Send the crowd away, so that they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.”

Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

About eight days after this conversation, he took along Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

While he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. They became afraid as they entered the cloud.

“Let these words sink in:[fn] The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

When the days were coming to a close for him to be taken up, he determined[fn] to journey to Jerusalem.

and they went to another village.

Another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house.”

After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two[fn] others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go.

“Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.'

“Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don't move from house to house.

“When you enter any town, and they don't welcome you, go out into its streets and say,

Jesus took up the question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead.

“He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

“Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers? ”

While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.[fn]

“And forgive us our sins,

for we ourselves also forgive everyone

in debt to us.[fn]

And do not bring us into temptation.”[fn]

“Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don't bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can't get up to give you anything.'

“When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest, and not finding rest, it then[fn] says, ‘I'll go back to my house that I came from.'

“The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah's preaching, and look ​— ​something greater than Jonah is here.

“Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,'

“But I will show you the one to fear: Fear him who has authority to throw people into hell after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the one to fear!

“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

“Then I'll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.” '

“That's how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

“If that's how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will he do for you ​— ​you of little faith?

“As you are going with your adversary to the ruler, make an effort to settle with him on the way. Then he won't drag you before the judge, the judge hand you over to the bailiff, and the bailiff throw you into prison.

“Perhaps it will produce fruit next year, but if not, you can cut it down.' ”

a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit[fn] for over eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.[fn]

“It's like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”

“It's like leaven[fn] that a woman took and mixed into fifty pounds[fn] of flour until all of it was leavened.”

One Sabbath, when he went in to eat[fn] at the house of one of the leading Pharisees, they were watching him closely.

And to them, he said, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day? ”

“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don't sit in the place of honor, because a more distinguished person than you may have been invited by your host.

“But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.' You will then be honored in the presence of all the other guests.

“So the servant came back and reported these things to his master. Then in anger, the master of the house told his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in here the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.'

“Then the master told the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.

“For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?

“and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep! '

“Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his estate in foolish living.

“Then he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

“When he came to his senses,[fn] he said, ‘How many of my father's hired workers have more than enough food, and here I am dying of hunger![fn]

The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.'

“I know what I'll do so that when I'm removed from management, people will welcome me into their homes.'

“Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Seeing that he became sad,[fn] Jesus said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!

When he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
