Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and he did not tell them anything without a parable,

Then he left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

“Have you understood all these things? ”[fn]

They answered him, “Yes.”

When Jesus had finished these parables, he left there.

And they were offended by him.

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.”

When Jesus heard about it, he withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed him on foot from the towns.

Immediately he[fn] made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

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

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don't tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised[fn] from the dead.”

“Elijah is coming[fn] and will restore everything,” he replied.[fn]

Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.”

He called a small child and had him stand among them.

“I tell you, not as many as seven,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven.[fn]

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he departed from Galilee and went to the region of Judea across the Jordan.

Jesus said, “Leave the little children alone, and don't try to keep them from coming to me, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”[fn]

“Which ones? ” he asked him.

Jesus answered: Do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness;

“If you want to be perfect,”[fn] Jesus said to him, “go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David! ”

When they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples,

The disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them.

The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”

and said to him, “Do you hear what these children are saying? ”

Jesus replied, “Yes, have you never read:

You have prepared[fn] praise

from the mouths of infants and nursing babies? ”

Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will be done.

Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question, and if you answer it for me, then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

“Which of the two did his father's will? ”

They said, “The first.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.[fn]

This is what the Lord has done

and it is wonderful in our eyes?

Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables:

Perceiving their malicious intent, Jesus said, “Why are you testing me, hypocrites?

Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, because you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God.

He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

While the Pharisees were together, Jesus questioned them,

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples:

As Jesus left and was going out of the temple, his disciples came up and called his attention to its buildings.

Jesus replied to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you.

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,

Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for me.

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat it; this is my body.”

Then Jesus said to them, “Tonight all of you will fall away because of me, for it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.

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

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

“Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come? ”[fn]

Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.

Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up the sword will perish by the sword.

At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal,[fn] to capture me? Every day I used to sit, teaching in the temple, and you didn't arrest me.

But Jesus kept silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

Now Jesus stood before the governor. “Are you the king of the Jews? ” the governor asked him.

Jesus answered, “You say so.”

Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing: This Is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá[fn] sabachtháni ? ” that is, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me ?”

But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.

Just then[fn] Jesus met them and said, “Greetings! ” They came up, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.

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

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.

After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news[fn][fn] of God:

“Follow me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for[fn] people.”

Jesus rebuked him saying, “Be silent, and come out of him! ”

Moved with compassion,[fn] Jesus reached out his hand and touched him. “I am willing,” he told him. “Be made clean.”

Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Right away Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

When Jesus heard this, he told them, “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast.

Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, and a large crowd followed from Judea,

So he gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.

Jesus did not let him but told him, “Go home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you.”

Immediately Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes? ”

When Jesus overheard[fn] what was said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid. Only believe.”

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.”

When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.

He said to her, “Let the children be fed first, because it isn't right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He called the disciples and said to them,

Aware of this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact you have no bread? Don't you understand or comprehend? Do you have hardened hearts?

Jesus went out with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am? ”

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transfigured in front of them,

Jesus said to him, “ ‘If you can'?[fn] Everything is possible for the one who believes.”

When Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you: Come out of him and never enter him again.”

But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.

“Don't stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle in my name who can soon afterward speak evil of me.

But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.

When Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me. Don't stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

“Why do you call me good? ”  Jesus asked him. “No one is good except God alone.

Looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come,[fn] follow me.”

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! ”

Looking at them, Jesus said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God, because all things are possible with God.”

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus said, “there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father[fn] or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

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.

Jesus said to them, “You don't know what you're asking. Are you able to drink the cup I drink or to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with? ”

Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions act as tyrants over them.

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! ”

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up; he's calling for you.”

Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want me to do for you? ”

“Rabboni,”[fn] the blind man said to him, “I want to see.”

They answered them just as Jesus had said; so they let them go.

He went into Jerusalem and into the temple. After looking around at everything, since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again! ” And his disciples heard it.

Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God.

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; then answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.”

And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they were utterly amazed at him.

Jesus spoke to them, “Isn't this the reason why you're mistaken: you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God?

Jesus answered, “The most important[fn] is Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[fn]

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question him any longer.

Sitting across from the temple treasury, he watched how the crowd dropped money into the treasury. Many rich people were putting in large sums.

Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another ​— ​all will be thrown down.”

Jesus told them, “Watch out that no one deceives you.

Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for me.

While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me ​— ​one who is eating with me.”

As they were eating, he took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.”

Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away,[fn] because it is written:

I will strike the shepherd,

and the sheep will be scattered.

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to him, “today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal,[fn] to capture me?

“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

Immediately a rooster crowed a second time, and Peter remembered when Jesus had spoken the word to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

But Jesus still did not answer, and so Pilate was amazed.

And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni? ” which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? ”

Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed his last.

When the eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus ​— ​the name given by the angel before he was conceived.

After those days were over, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents[fn] did not know it.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.

As he began his ministry, Jesus was about thirty years old and was thought to be the

son of Joseph, son of Heli,

Then Jesus left the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

But Jesus answered him, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.”[fn]

And Jesus answered him,[fn] “It is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”

And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.”

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

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 so were James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were Simon's partners.

“Don't be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.”

But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus replied to them, “Why are you thinking this in your hearts?[fn]

Jesus replied to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are sick.

Jesus answered them, “Haven't you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry ​— ​

Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it? ”

Jesus went with them, and when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, “Lord, don't trouble yourself, since I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

Jesus heard this and was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found so great a faith even in Israel.”

He replied to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy[fn] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news,

Jesus replied to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”

He said, “Say it, teacher.”

“What is your name? ” Jesus asked him.

“Legion,” he said, because many demons had entered him.

The man from whom the demons had departed begged him earnestly to be with him. But he sent him away and said,

“Who touched me? ” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter[fn] said, “Master, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing against you.”[fn]

When Jesus heard it, he answered him, “Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”[fn]

After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent, and at that time told no one what they had seen.

Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and perverse[fn] generation, how long will I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

But Jesus, knowing their inner thoughts,[fn] took a little child and had him stand next to him.

“Don't stop him,” Jesus told him, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”[fn]

Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

But he told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”

But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

At that time he[fn] rejoiced in the Holy[fn] Spirit and said, “I praise[fn] you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure.[fn]

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.

“The one who showed mercy to him,” he said.

Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.”

The Lord[fn] answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,

And he[fn] responded to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered these things?

When Jesus saw her, he called out to her,[fn] “Woman, you are free of your disability.”

But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, “There are six days when work should be done; therefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day.”

In response, Jesus asked the law experts and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not? ”

Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to me, and don't stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

“Why do you call me good? ” Jesus asked him. “No one is good except God alone.

When Jesus heard this, he told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

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

“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to him. When he came closer, he asked him,

“Receive your sight,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has saved you.”

When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today it is necessary for me to stay at your house.”

“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham.

And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Jesus told them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss? ”

But Jesus responded, “No more of this! ” And touching his ear, he healed him.

But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children.

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.”[fn] And they divided his clothes and cast lots.

And he said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

And Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” Saying this, he breathed his last.

And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus himself came near and began to walk along with them.

As they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them, “Peace to you! ”

When Jesus turned and noticed them following him, he asked them, “What are you looking for? ”

They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying? ”

and he brought Simon to Jesus.

When Jesus saw him, he said, “You are Simon, son of John.[fn] You will be called Cephas” (which is translated “Peter”[fn]).

Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”

and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well.

“What has this concern of yours to do with me,[fn] woman? ” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

“Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.

Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

The Jewish Passover was near, and so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple,[fn] and I will raise it up in three days.”

So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

Jesus, however, would not entrust himself to them, since he knew them all

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again,[fn] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

“Are you a teacher[fn] of Israel and don't know these things? ” Jesus replied.

After this, Jesus and his disciples went to the Judean countryside, where he spent time with them and baptized.

When Jesus[fn] learned that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John

Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, worn out from his journey, sat down at the well. It was about noon.[fn]

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,' you would ask him, and he would give you living water.”

Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again.

“Go call your husband,” he told her, “and come back here.”

Jesus told her, “Believe me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

Jesus told her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.”

“My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work,” Jesus told them.

(Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

He went again to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a certain royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum.

“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what[fn] Jesus said to him and departed.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” So he himself believed, along with his whole household.

After this, a Jewish festival took place, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

When Jesus saw him lying there and realized he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to get well? ”

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk.”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.[fn]

Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working, and I am working also.”

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[fn] does, the Son likewise does these things.

After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

Jesus went up a mountain and sat down there with his disciples.

So when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward him, he asked Philip, “Where will we buy bread so that these people can eat? ”

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

There was plenty of grass in that place; so they sat down. The men numbered about five thousand.

When the people saw the sign[fn] he had done, they said, “This truly is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw there had been only one boat.[fn] They also saw that Jesus had not boarded the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone off alone.

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw[fn] the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God ​— ​that you believe in the one he has sent.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, Moses didn't give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty again.

They were saying, “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'? ”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, asked them, “Does this offend you?

“But there are some among you who don't believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who did not[fn] believe and the one who would betray him.)

So Jesus said to the Twelve, “You don't want to go away too, do you? ”

Jesus replied to them, “Didn't I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.”

After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since he did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill him.

Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.

When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.

Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn't mine but is from the one who sent me.

“I performed one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.

As he was teaching in the temple, Jesus cried out, “You know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the one who sent me is true. You don't know him;

Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time. Then I'm going to the one who sent me.

On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me[fn] and drink.

He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit[fn] had not yet been given[fn] because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

They asked this to trap him, in order that they might have evidence to accuse him.

Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger.

When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only he was left, with the woman in the center.

“Even if I testify about myself,” Jesus replied, “my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I come from or where I'm going.

Then they asked him, “Where is your Father? ”

“You know neither me nor my Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”

“Who are you? ” they questioned.

“Exactly what I've been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own. But just as the Father taught me, I say these things.

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in my word,[fn] you really are my disciples.

Jesus responded, “Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

“Our father is Abraham,” they replied.

“If you were Abraham's children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn't come on my own, but he sent me.

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus answered. “On the contrary, I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

“If I glorify myself,” Jesus answered, “my glory is nothing. My Father ​— ​about whom you say, ‘He is our God' ​— ​he is the one who glorifies me.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.”

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God's works might be displayed in him.

He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.' So when I went and washed I received my sight.”

The day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

Jesus heard that they had thrown the man out, and when he found him, he asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man? ”[fn]

Jesus answered, “You have seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

“If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn't have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,' your sin remains.

Jesus gave them this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's Colonnade.

“I did tell you and you don't believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in my Father's name testify about me.

Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these works are you stoning me? ”

Jesus answered them, “Isn't it written in your law,[fn] I said, you are gods?

When Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

“Aren't there twelve hours in a day? ” Jesus answered. “If anyone walks during the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

Jesus, however, was speaking about his death, but they thought he was speaking about natural sleep.

When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.

As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house.

“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live.

Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and told him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died! ”

Jesus wept.

Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”

He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and he stayed there with the disciples.

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus[fn] was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.

Jesus answered, “Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial.

The next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written:

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you.

Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn't overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn't know where he's going.

Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in me believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, that he had come from God, and that he was going back to God.

Jesus answered him, “What I'm doing you don't realize now, but afterward you will understand.”

“One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn't need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his spirit and testified, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”

One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was reclining close beside Jesus.[fn]

Jesus replied, “He's the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.” When he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.[fn]

Since Judas kept the money-bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor.

When he had left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

“Lord,” Simon Peter said to him, “where are you going? ”

Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”

Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'?

Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Jesus knew they wanted to ask him, and so he said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘In a little while, you will not see me; again in a little while, you will see me'?

Jesus responded to them, “Do you now believe?

Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you,

After Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Who is it that you're seeking? ”

“I told you I am he,” Jesus replied. “So if you're looking for me, let these men go.”

At that, Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword away! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given me? ”

“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered him. “I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather, and I haven't spoken anything in secret.

“If I have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence[fn] about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit me? ”

Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about me? ”

“My kingdom is not of this world,” said Jesus. “If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I wouldn't be handed over to the Jews. But as it is,[fn] my kingdom is not from here.”

Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man! ”

He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are you from? ” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

“You would have no authority over me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn't been given you from above. This is why the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”

Pilate also had a sign made and put on the cross. It said: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

After this, when Jesus knew that everything was now finished that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, “I'm thirsty.”

When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.

So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They've taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they've put him! ”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus.

When it was evening on that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

But Thomas (called “Twin”[fn]), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed.[fn] Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”

After this, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias.[fn] He revealed himself in this way:

When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus.

The disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord! ”

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer clothing around him (for he had taken it off) and plunged into the sea.

“Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus told them.

“Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you? ” because they knew it was the Lord.

He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me? ”

Peter was grieved that he asked him the third time, “Do you love me? ” He said, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”

“Feed my sheep,” Jesus said.

So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them, the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is the one that's going to betray you? ”

“If I want him to remain until I come,” Jesus answered, “what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if every one of them were written down, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books[fn] that would be written.

I wrote the first narrative, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach

They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen him going into heaven.”

“Therefore, from among the men who have accompanied us during the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us ​— ​

“For we heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

“Who are you, Lord? ” Saul said.

“I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting,” he replied.

Ananias went and entered the house. He placed his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road you were traveling, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,”[fn] and immediately he got up.

explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and rise from the dead: “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah.”

“I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord? '

“He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, the one you are persecuting.'

“I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord? '

“And the Lord replied, ‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting.

For no one can lay any foundation other than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.

yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread,

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you ​— ​Silvanus,[fn] Timothy, and I ​— ​did not become “Yes and no.” On the contrary, in him it is always “Yes.”

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you? ​— ​unless you fail the test.[fn]

You foolish Galatians! Who has cast a spell on you,[fn] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed[fn] as crucified?

and every tongue will confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcised are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,

This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” ​— ​and I am the worst of them.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
