Then, passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me,” and he got up and followed him.

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees[fn] were fasting. People came and asked him, “Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples fast, but your disciples do not fast? ”

The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath? ”

“how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the Presence ​— ​which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests ​— ​and also gave some to his companions? ”

Then he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, so that the crowd wouldn't crush him.

A crowd was sitting around him and told him, “Look, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters[fn] are outside asking for you.”

“For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! Don't you care that we're going to die? ”

And they were terrified[fn] and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him! ”

As soon as he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him.

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him.

“What is your name? ” he asked him.

“My name is Legion,” he answered him, “because we are many.”

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.”

So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him.

His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me? ' ”

The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.

He left there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

“Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren't his sisters here with us? ” So they were offended by him.

King Herod heard about it, because Jesus's name had become well known. Some[fn] said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that's why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

So Herodias held a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and taught.

When it grew late, his disciples approached him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is already late.

“You give them something to eat,” he responded.

They said to him, “Should we go and buy two hundred denarii[fn] worth of bread and give them something to eat? ”

But she replied to him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.”

They brought to him a deaf man who had difficulty speaking and begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.

Looking up to heaven, he sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha! ”[fn] (that is, “Be opened! ”).

His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to feed these people? ”

The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding of him a sign from heaven to test him.

“When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of leftovers did you collect? ”

“Twelve,” they told him.

They came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.

They answered him, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”

He spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

“But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as it is written about him.”

Someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.

“How long has this been happening to him? ” Jesus asked his father.

“From childhood,” he said.

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

John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone[fn] driving out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he wasn't following us.”

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away ​— ​it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

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

He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.”

Peter began to tell him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”

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.

“and they will mock him, spit on him, flog[fn] him, and kill him, and he will rise after three days.”

They answered him, “Allow us to sit at your right and at your left in your glory.”

“We are able,” they told him.

Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.

Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David! ”

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 brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and he sat on it.

Then Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

and asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do these things? ”

They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will say, ‘Then why didn't you believe him? '

When they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know you are truthful and don't care what anyone thinks, nor do you show partiality but teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we? ”

They brought a coin. “Whose image and inscription is this? ” he asked them.

“Caesar's,” they replied.

“And as for the dead being raised ​— ​haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to him: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?

Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, teacher. You have correctly said that he is one, and there is no one else except him.

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.

As he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings! ”

And when they heard this, they were glad and promised to give him money. So he started looking for a good opportunity to betray him.

They began to be distressed and to say to him one by one, “Surely not I? ”

“For the Son of Man will go just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had not been born.”

Peter told him, “Even if everyone falls away, I will not.”

And again he came and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to him.

So when he came, immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi! ” and kissed him.

Now a certain young man, wearing nothing but a linen cloth, was following him. They caught hold of him,

Peter followed him at a distance, right into the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the servants,[fn] warming himself by the fire.

But he kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One? ”

Then some began to spit on him, to blindfold him, and to beat him, saying, “Prophesy! ” The temple servants also took him and slapped him.

When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus, the man from Nazareth.”

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.

So Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews? ”

He answered him, “You say so.”

They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on him.

They were hitting him on the head with a stick and spitting on him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying him homage.

They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

They crucified two criminals[fn] with him, one on his right and one on his left.[fn]

“Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.

In Galilee these women followed him and took care of him. Many other women had come up with him to Jerusalem.

In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah's division named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.

The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and tell you this good news.

“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.

having been rescued

from the hand of our enemies,

would serve him without fear

to be registered along with Mary, who was engaged to him[fn] and was pregnant.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he saw the Lord's Messiah.

The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

So he took him up[fn] and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

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.”

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.

He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.

They were all speaking well of him[fn] and were amazed by the gracious words that came from his mouth; yet they said, “Isn't this Joseph's son? ”

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.

As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear God's word, he was standing by Lake Gennesaret.[fn]

For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had taken,

Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed him.

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.”

After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me.”

After looking around at them all, he told him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored.[fn]

A centurion's servant, who was highly valued by him, was sick and about to die.

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.”

Afterward he was on his way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with him.

Simon answered, “I suppose the one he forgave more.”

“You have judged correctly,” he told him.

Afterward he was traveling from one town and village to another, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,

“Therefore take care how you listen. For whoever has, more will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

He said to them, “Where is your faith? ”

They were fearful and amazed, asking one another, “Who then is this? He commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him! ”

When he got out on land, a demon-possessed man from the town met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes and did not stay in a house but in the tombs.

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

because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying.

While he was going, the crowds were nearly crushing him.

When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched him and how she was instantly healed.

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

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.

While he was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am? ”

Suddenly, two men were talking with him ​— ​Moses and Elijah.

Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep,[fn] and when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.

The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

He sent messengers ahead of himself, and on the way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for him.

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.”

“You've answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.”

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

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

He also said to them, “Suppose one of you[fn] has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

“I tell you, even though he won't get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend's shameless boldness,[fn] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

“What father among you, if his son[fn] asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?

As he was saying these things, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the one who nursed you! ”

As he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. So he went in and reclined at the table.

One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things you insult us too.”

“And I say to you, anyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God,

“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.

Someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared ​— ​whose will they be? '

“You are to be like people waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

At that time, some people came and reported to him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

“But he replied to him, ‘Sir,[fn] leave it this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

But the Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you untie his ox or donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it to water?

When he had said these things, all his adversaries were humiliated, but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he was doing.

“Lord,” someone asked him, “are only a few people going to be saved? ”

He said to them,

At that time some Pharisees came and told him, “Go, get out of here. Herod wants to kill you.”

When one of those who reclined at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is the one who will eat bread in the kingdom of God! ”

“But without exception[fn] they all began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.'

Now great crowds were traveling with him. So he turned and said to them,

“Otherwise, after he has laid the foundation and cannot finish it, all the onlookers will begin to ridicule him,

All the tax collectors and sinners were approaching to listen to him.

“He longed to eat his fill from[fn] the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one would give him anything.

“I'll get up, go to my father, and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

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.'

“‘Your brother is here,' he told him, ‘and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'[fn]

“But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your assets[fn] with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.'

Now he said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who received an accusation that his manager was squandering his possessions.

“ ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,' he said.

“ ‘Take your invoice,' he told him, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.'

“But he told him, ‘If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.' ”

“It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

“Which one of you having a servant tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat'?

As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy[fn] met him. They stood at a distance

He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.

And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”[fn]

“Where, Lord? ” they asked him.

He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there also the vultures will be gathered.”

“Will not God grant justice to his elect who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay helping them?[fn]

People were bringing infants to him so that he might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

“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.”

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

Then those in front told him to keep quiet,[fn] but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me! ”

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

“At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those servants he had given the money to, so that he could find out how much they had made in business.

“ ‘Well done, good[fn] servant! ' he told him. ‘Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over ten towns.'

“He told him, ‘I will condemn you by what you have said, you evil servant! If you knew I was a harsh man, collecting what I didn't deposit and reaping what I didn't sow,

“But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.'

They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will say, ‘Why didn't you believe him? '

“At harvest time he sent a servant to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

“He is not the God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to[fn] him.”

They were glad and agreed to give him silver.[fn]

“Where do you want us to prepare it? ” they asked him.

When the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.

“Lord,” he told him, “I'm ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”

He went out and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

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

When a servant saw him sitting in the light, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with him too.”

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”

The men who were holding Jesus started mocking and beating him.

So Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews? ”

He answered him, “You say so.”[fn]

So he kept asking him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.

“Neither has Herod, because he sent him back to us. Clearly, he has done nothing to deserve death.

A third time he said to them, “Why? What has this man done wrong? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have him whipped and then release him.”

As they led him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

Two others ​— ​criminals ​— ​were also led away to be executed with him.

The soldiers also mocked him. They came offering him sour wine

An inscription was above him:[fn] This Is the King of the Jews.

But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don't you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment?

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

But all who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

The women who had come with him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how his body was placed.

“What things? ” he asked them.

So they said to him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,

So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish,[fn]

In him was life,[fn] and that life was the light of men.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

“Who are you, then? ” they asked. “We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself? ”

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren't the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet? ”

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? ”

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”

“How do you know me? ” Nathanael asked.

“Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered.

and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”

So the Jews replied to him, “What sign will you show us for doing these things? ”

There was a man from the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

“How can these things be? ” asked Nicodemus.

“so that everyone who believes in him may[fn] have eternal life.

So they came to John and told him, “Rabbi, the one you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptizing ​— ​and everyone is going to him.”

“How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman? ” she asked him. For Jews do not associate with[fn] Samaritans.[fn]

“Sir,” said the woman, “you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do you get this ‘living water'?

“But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give him will become a well[fn] of water springing up in him for eternal life.”

“I don't have a husband,” she answered.

“You have correctly said, ‘I don't have a husband,' ” Jesus said.

“Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that you are a prophet.

The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat? ”

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

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? ”

After this, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn't happen to you.”

“For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and he will show him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.

“And he has granted him the right to pass judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

A huge crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was performing by healing the sick.

Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii[fn] worth of bread wouldn't be enough for each of them to have a little.”

When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here? ”

“What sign, then, are you going to do so that we may see and believe you? ” they asked. “What are you going to perform?

“The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to him by the Father.”

Simon Peter answered, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life.

“The one who speaks on his own seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

“Yet, look, he's speaking publicly and they're saying nothing to him. Can it be true that the authorities know he is the Messiah?

“You aren't from Galilee too, are you? ” they replied. “Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”

“Teacher,” they said to him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery.

So the Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

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.

“The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.”

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

“Our father is Abraham,” they replied.

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

“You're doing what your father does.”

“We weren't born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father ​— ​God.”

“You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature,[fn] because he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Jews responded to him, “Aren't we right in saying that you're a Samaritan and have a demon? ”

Then the Jews said, “Now we know you have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

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

“Go,” he told him, “wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he left, washed, and came back seeing.

Some said, “He's the one.” Others were saying, “No, but he looks like him.”

He kept saying, “I'm the one.”

“Where is he? ” they asked.

“I don't know,” he said.

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes? ”

“You were born entirely in sin,” they replied, “and are you trying to teach us? ” Then they threw him out.

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

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and asked him, “We aren't blind too, are we? ”

“When he has brought all his own outside, he goes ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they know his voice.

“This happens because he is a hired hand and doesn't care about the sheep.

The Jews surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense?[fn] If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”[fn]

“We aren't stoning you for a good work,” the Jews answered, “but for blasphemy, because you ​— ​being a man ​— ​make yourself God.”

“Rabbi,” the disciples told him, “just now the Jews tried to stone you, and you're going there again? ”

“But if anyone walks during the night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”

Then the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”

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

Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

“Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”

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! ”

“Where have you put him? ” he asked.

“Lord,” they told him, “come and see.”

“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.

Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, “Lord, there is already a stench because he has been dead four days.”

So they gave a dinner for him there; Martha was serving them, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him.

He didn't say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

they took palm branches and went out to meet him. They kept shouting:

“Hosanna!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord ​— ​the King of Israel! ”

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.
