So they said to each other,

fulfill the Scripture that

Note the differences in detail about this event. Matthew gives the basic facts. Mark adds a nice little detail about the
motivations of the guards for tossing dice for Christ’s robe. This detail might have helped his audience (Romans and per-
haps even Roman soldiers) to identify with the scene. Luke is the only author to record the famous “Father, forgive
them” statement. And note how the ISV brings out the iterative nature of the Greek grammar of the text: “Jesus kept
saying…” Jesus did not ask only once; forgiveness was a repetitive request from the cross. John adds the most amount of
detail, even going so far as to describe the seamless nature of the garment and to comment on the fulfilled prophecy.

The Pre-Existence of Christ

John 1:1-18
1
In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
He existed in the beginning with God.
3
Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4
In him was life, and that life brought light to humanity.a
5
And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.b
6
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7
He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
8
He was not the light, but he camec to testify about the light.
9
Thisd was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world.e
10
He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.
11
He came to his own creation,f yet his own people did not receive him.
12
However, to all who received him, to those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God's children,
13
who were born, not merely in a physical sense,g or from a fleshly impulse, or from man's desire, but of God.
14
The Word became flesh and tabernacledh among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the
Father's unique Son,i full of grace and truth.
15
John told the truth about him when he cried out, “This is the person about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after
me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16
From his fullness we have all received one gracious gift after another.j
17
For while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18
No one has ever seen God. The unique God,k who is close to the Father's side, has revealed him.

Luke 1:1-25
1
Since many people have attempted to write an orderly account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
2
just as they were passed down to us by those who had been eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the
beginning,
3
I, too, have carefully investigated everything from the beginning and have decided to write an orderly account for
you, most excellent Theophilus,
4
so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
5
In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah.
His wife was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6
Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, and they lived blamelessly according to all of the commandments
and regulations of the Lord.
7
They had no children because Elizabeth was barren and because both of them were getting on in years.a
8
When Zechariahb was serving with his division of priests in God's presence,
9
he was chosen by lot to go into the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense, according to the custom of the priests.
10
And the entire congregation of people was praying outside at the time when the incense was burned.
11
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar.
12
When Zechariah saw him, he was shaken, and fear overwhelmed him.
13
But the angel said to him, “Stop being afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth
will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
14
You will have joy and gladness, and many people will rejoice at his birth.
15
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will never drink wine or any strong drink, and he will be filled with
the Holy Spirit even before he is born.
16
He will bring many of Israel's descendants back to the Lord their God.
17
He is the one who will go before the Lordc with the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of parents to their
children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and to prepare the people to be ready for the Lord.”
18
Then Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is getting on in
years.”d
19
The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. I have been sent to speak to you and to
tell you this good news.
20
But because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the proper time,e you will become silent and
unable to speak until the day this happens.”

Καὶ ἠ̂ν ὁ λαὸς προσδοκω̂ν τὸν Ζαχαρίαν καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐν τῳ̂ χρονίζειν ἐν τῳ̂ ναῳ̂ αὐτόν.
22

21
Meanwhile, the people kept waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed in the sanctuary so long.
22
But when he did come out, he was unable to speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the
sanctuary. He kept motioning to them but remained unable to speak.
23
When the days of his service were over, he went home.
24
After this,f his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and remained in seclusion for five months. She said,
25
“This is what the Lord did for me when he looked favorably on me and took away my public disgrace.”

Gabriel Visits Mary

Luke 1:26-38
26
Now in the sixth month of her pregnancy,g the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,
27
to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendanth of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28
The angeli came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you!”j
29
She was startled by his statement and tried to figure out what his greeting meant.
30
Then the angel told her, “Stop being afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31
Listen! You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus.
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
forefather David.
33
He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.”
34
Mary asked the angel, “How can this be, since I have not had relations withk a man?”
35
The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come over you, and the power of the Most High will cover you.
Therefore, the child will be holy and will be called the Son of God.
36
And listen! Elizabeth, your relative, has herself conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for the woman
who was said to be barren.
37
For nothing is impossible for God.”
38
Then Mary said, “Truly I am the Lord's servant. Let everything you have said happen to me.” Then the angel left her.

At this time Mary set out hurriedly for a Judean city in the hill country.
40
She went into Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth.
41
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby jumped in her womb. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
42
and exclaimed with a loud cry, “How blessed are you among women, and how blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43
Why should this happen to me, to have the mother of my Lord visit me!
44
For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
45
How blessed is this woman for believing that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled!”
46
Then Mary said, “My soul praises the greatness of the Lord!
47
My spirit exults in God, my Savior,
48
for he has looked favorably on his humble servant. From now on, all generations will call me blessed,
49
because the Almighty has done great things for me. His name is holy.
50
His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
51
He displayed his mighty power with his arm. He scattered people who were proud in mind and heart.m
52
He pulled powerful rulers from their thrones and lifted up humble people.

When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
58
Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59
On the eighth day they went to circumcise the child. They were going to name him Zechariah after his father,
60
but his mother said, “Absolutely not! He must be named John.”
61
Their friendsp said to her, “None of your relatives has that name.”
62
So they motioned to the baby'sq father to see what he wanted to name him.
63
He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And everyone was amazed.
64
Suddenly, Zechariah'sr mouth was opened, his tongue was set free, and he began to speak and to praise God.
65
Fear came over all their neighbors, and throughout the hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
66
All who heard about it debated in their minds what had happened and said, “What will this child become?” For it
was obvious that the hand of the Lord was with him.
67
Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel! He has taken care of his people and has set them free.
69
He has raised up a mighty Saviors for us from the family of his servant David,
70
just as he promised long ago through the mouth of his holy prophets
71
that he would save us from our enemies and from the grip of all who hate us.
72
He has shown mercy to our ancestors and remembered his holy covenant,
73
the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham. He granted us
74
deliverance from our enemies' grip so that we could serve him without fear
75
and be holy and righteous before him all of our days.
76
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For you will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his ways
77
and to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.
78
Because of the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high has broken upon us,
79
to shine on those who sit in darkness and in death's shadow, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
80
Now the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit.t He lived in the wilderness until the day he
appeared in Israel.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engagedl to Joseph, before they
k
lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19
Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.
20
After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David,
don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21
She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus,m because he is the one who will save his people from
their sins.”
22
Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be registered.

This was the first registration taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3
So all the people went to their hometowns to be registered.
4
Joseph, too, went up from the city of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he
was a descendanta of the household and family of David.
5
He went thereb to be registered with Mary, who had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant.
6
While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby,
7
and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there
was not any room for them in the inn.c

The Shepherds Visit Jesus

Luke 2:8-20
8
In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, watching their flock during the night.
9
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10
Then the angel said to them, “Stop being afraid! Listen! I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.
11
Today your Savior, Christd the Lord, was born in the city of David.
12
And this will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
13
Suddenly a multitude of the Heavenly Army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14
“Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to people who enjoy his favor!”e
15
When the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem
and see what has taken place that the Lord has told us about.”
16
So they went quickly and found Mary and Joseph with the baby, who was lying in the manger.
17
When they saw this, they repeated what they had been told about this child.
18
All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them,
19
but Mary continued to treasure in her heart all these things and to ponder them.
20
Then the shepherds returned to their flock,f glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen, just
as it had been told to them.

They also offered a sacrifice according to what is specified in the law of the Lord: “a pair of turtledoves or two young
pigeons.”k
25
Now a man named Simeon was in Jerusalem. This man was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the one who
would comfort Israel,l and the Holy Spirit rested on him.
26
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not diem until he had seen the Lord's Christ.n
27
Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple. When the parents brought the child Jesus to do for him what was
customary under the law,
28
Simeono took the childp in his arms and praised God, saying,
29
“Master, now you are allowing your servant to leave in peace according to your word.
30
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31
which you prepared for all people to see—
32
a light that will reveal salvationq to the gentiles and bring glory to your people Israel.”
33
Jesus’r father and mother kept wondering at the things being said about him.
34
Then Simeons blessed them and said to Mary, his mother, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall or
rise. He will be a sign that will be disputed,
35
so that the inner thoughts of many people might be revealed. Indeed, a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”
36
Now Anna, a prophetess, was also there. She was a descendant of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old,
having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,
37
and then as a widow for eighty-four years. She never left the temple, but continued to worship there night and day
with times of fasting and prayer.
38
Just then she came forward and began to thank God and to speak about the childt to all who were waiting for the
redemption of Jerusalem.

After Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise mena from the east arrived in
Jerusalem
2
and asked, “Where is the one who was born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the eastb and have come to worship
him.”
3
When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all the people ofc Jerusalem with him.
4
He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Christd was to be born.
5
They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea. For that is what was written by the prophet:
6
‘O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, you are by no means least among the rulers of Judah. For from you will come a
ruler who will shepherde my people Israel.’”f
7
Then Herod secretly called together the wise meng and found out from them the time the star had appeared.
8
Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that
I, too, may go and worship him.”
9
After listening to the king, they set out, and the star they had seen in the easth went ahead of them until it came and
stopped over the place where the child was.
10
When they saw the star, they were ecstatic with joy.
11
After they went into the house and saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down and worshiped him. Then
they opened their treasure sacks and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12
Having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they left for their own country by a different road.

Joseph’s Family Escapes to Egypt

Matthew 2:13-15
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. Stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and kill him.”
14
So Josephi got up and took the child and his mother and left at night for Egypt.
15
He stayed there until Herod's death in order to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he
said, “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”j

Herod’s Wrath on Bethlehem

Matthew 2:16-18
16
When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men,k he flew into a rage and ordered the execution of all the
male children in Bethlehem and all its neighboring regions who were two years old and younger, according to the
time that he had determined from the wise men.l
17
Then what was declared by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said,

comforted, because they no longer existed.”m

21
So Josephn got up and took the child and his mother
and went into the land of Israel.
22
But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over
Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go
there. Having been warned in a dream, he left for the
region of Galilee

and came and settled in a town called Nazareth in order
to fulfill what was said by the prophets: “He will be

Meanwhile, the child continued to grow and to become strong. He was filled with wisdom, and God's favor was with
him.
41
Every year Jesus’v parents would go to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival.
42
When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival as usual.
43
When the days of the festivalw were over, they left for home. The young man Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but
his parents did not know it.
44
They thought that he was in the group of travelers. After traveling for a day, they started looking for him among
their relatives and friends.
45
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching desperately for him.
46
Three days later they found him in the temple sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them
questions.
47
All who heard him were amazed at his intelligence and his answers.

48
When his parentsx saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this?
Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!”
49
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be in my Father's house?”y
50
But they did not understand what he said to them.
51
Then he went down with them and returned to Nazareth; and he remained in submission to them. His mother
continued to treasure all these things in her heart.

John the Baptist’s Testimony about Christ

John 1:19-28
19
This was John's testimony when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20
He spoke openly and did not deny it, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”l
21
So they asked him, “Well then, are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22
Then they said to him, “Who are you? We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about
yourself?”
23
He replied, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make the way of the Lord straight,’”m as the prophet
Isaiah said.
24
Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.
25
They asked him, “Why, then, are you baptizing if you are not the Christn or Elijah or the Prophet?”
26
John answered them, “I am baptizing witho water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,
27
the one who is coming after me, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie.”
28
This happened in Bethanyp on the other sideq of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

John 1:29-34
29
The next day Johnr saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the
world!
30
This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
31
I didn't recognize him, but I came baptizing withs water so that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32
John also testified, “I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
33
I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize witht water told me, ‘The person on whom you see the
Spirit descending and remaining is the one who baptizes withu the Holy Spirit.’
34
I have seen this and have testified that this is the Sonv of God.”

35
The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples.
36
As he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
38
But when Jesus turned around and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to
him, “Rabbi,” (which is translated “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
39
He told them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that
day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.w
40
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.x
41
Andrewy first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated “Christ”).z
42
He led Simona to Jesus. Jesus looked at him intently and said, “You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called
Cephas”b (which is translated “Peter”).c
43
The next day Jesus decided to go away into Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.
45
Philip found Nathaniel and told him, “We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets
wrote—Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46
Nathaniel said to him, “Out of Nazareth? What good can that be?” Philip told him, “Come and see!”
47
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said about him, “Look, a true Israelite, in whom there is no falsehood!”
48
Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, while you were
under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49
Nathaniel replied to him, “Rabbid, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50
Jesus said to him, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things
than that.”
51
Then he said to him, “Truly, truly I tell all of you,e you will see heaven standing open and the angels of God going
up and coming down to the Son of Man.”

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there,

and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They don't have any wine.”

Jesus said to her, “How does that concern us, woman? My hour has not yet come.”

His mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from twenty
to thirty gallons.

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

Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet.” So they took it.

When the man in charge of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine (without knowing where it had come
from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew), heb called for the bridegroom
10
and said to him, “Everyone serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when peoplec are drunk. But you have
kept the best wine until now!”
11
Jesus did this, the firstd of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12
After this, Jesuse went down to Capernaum—he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples—and they remained
there for a few days.

The First Temple Cleansing

John 2:13-25
13
The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables.
15
Making a whip out of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, including the sheep and the cattle. He scattered
the coins of the moneychangers and knocked over their tables.
16
Then he told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a
marketplace!”
17
His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”f
18
Then the Jews said to him, “What sign can you show us as authority for doing these things?”
19
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will rebuild it.”
20
The Jews said, “This sanctuary has been under construction for forty-six years, and you're going to rebuild it in three
days?”
21
But the sanctuary he was speaking about was his own body.
22
After he had been raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the
Scripture and the statement that Jesus had made.g
23
While Jesush was in Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, many people believed in his name because they saw the
signs that he was doing.
24
Jesus, however, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people
25
and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like. For he himself knew what was in every person.i

Now there was a man from the Pharisees, a leader of the Jews, whose name was Nicodemus.
2
He came to Jesusa at night and said to him, “Rabbi,b we know that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one
can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”
3
Jesus replied to him, “Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born from abovec he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4
Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He can't go back into his mother's womb a
second time and be born, can he?”
5
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of
God.d
6
What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7
Don't be astonished that I said to you, ‘All of youe must be born from above.’f
8
The windg blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going.
That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9
Nicodemus said to him, “How can that be?”

John 3:1-21
10
Jesus answered him, “You're the teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this?
11
Truly, truly I tell you, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you peopleh do
not accept our testimony.
12
If I have told you peoplei about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about
heavenly things?
13
“No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.j
14
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15so that everyone who
believes in him may have eternal life.k
16
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but have eternal life.
17
For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he
has not believed in the name of God's unique Son.
19
And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the
light because their actions were evil.
20
For everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his actions may not be
exposed.l
21
But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that all may seem that his actions have been done in God.”

After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside. He spent some time there with them and began

John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. Peoplen kept coming and
were being baptized,

They went to John and told him, “Rabbip, the man who was with you on the other sideq of the Jordan, the one about
whom you testified—look, he's baptizing, and all are going to him!”

John replied, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.

The one who comes from above is over everything. The one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the
wrath of God remains on him.

Now it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
5
So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6
Jacob's Well was also there, and Jesus, tired out by the journey, sat down by the well. It was about twelve noon.b
7
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”
8
For his disciples had gone off into town to buy food.
9
The Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews do
not have anything to do with Samaritans.c
10
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you
would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water.”
11
The womand said to him, “Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this living
water?
12
You're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it, along with his sons and his
flocks, are you?”
13
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again.
14
But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never become thirsty again. The water that I will give him will
become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
15
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I won't get thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw
water.”
16
He said to her, “Go and call your husband, and come back here.”
17
The woman answered him, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are quite right in saying, ‘I don't have a
husband.’
18
For you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet!
20
Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain. But you Jewse say that the place where people should worship is in
Jerusalem.”
21
Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you Samaritansf will worship the Father neither on
this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22
You don't know what you're worshiping. We know what we're worshiping, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23
Yet the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spiritg and truth. Indeed,
the Father is looking for people like that to worship him.

The Disciples Question Jesus

John 4:27-38
27
At this point his disciples arrived, and they were amazed that he was talking to a woman. Yet no one said, “What do
you want from her?”j or, “Why are you talking to her?”
28
Then the woman left her water jar and went back to town. She told the people,
29
“Come and see a man who told me everything I've ever done! Could he possibly be the Christ?”k
30
The peoplel left the town and started on their way to him.
31
Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, “Rabbim, have something to eat.”
32
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” 33So the disciples began to say to one another,
“No one has brought him anything to eat, has he?”
34
Jesus told them, “My food is doing the will of the one who sent me and completing his work.
35
You say, don't you, ‘In four more months the harvest will be here?’ Look, I tell you, open your eyes and observe that
the fields are readyn for harvesting!
36
The one who harvests is already receiving his wages and gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the one who sows
and the one who harvests may rejoice together.
37
For in this respect the saying is true: ‘One person sows, and another person harvests.’o
38
I have sent you to harvest what you have not labored for. Others have labored, and you have entered into their
labor.”

Now many of the Samaritans of that town believed in Jesusp because of the woman's testimony when she testified,
“He told me everything I've ever done.”
40
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days.
41
And many more believed because of his word.
42
They kept telling the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard him
ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world.”

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.
21
Then he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22
All the people began to speak well of him and to wonder at the gracious words that flowed from his mouth. They
said, “This is Joseph's son, isn't it?”
23
So he said to them, “You will probably quote this proverb to me, ‘Doctor, heal yourself! Do all the things here in your
hometown that we hear you did in Capernaum.’”
24
He added, “Truly I tell you, a prophet is not accepted in his hometown.
25
In truth I tell you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the heaven was closed for three years
and six months and there was a severe famine everywhere in the land.

Yet Elijah wasn't sent to a single one of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

There were also many lepers in Israel in the prophet Elisha's time, yet not one of them was cleansed except Naaman
the Syrian.”

All the people in the synagogue became furious when they heard this.

to throw him off of it.

So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Meanwhile, in Capernaum there was
a government official whose son was ill.
47
When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him repeatedly to come
down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
48
Jesus told him, “Unless you peopler see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49
The official said to him, “Sir,s please come down before my little boy dies.”
50
Jesus said to him, “Go home. Your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus told him and started on his way.
51
While he was on his way down, his servants met him and told him that his childt was alive.
52
So he asked them at what hour he had begun to recover, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at one
o'clock in the afternoon.”u
53
Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he himself
believed, along with his whole family.

Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.

Jesus Preaches in Simon’s Boat

Luke 5:1-3
1
One day as the crowd was pressing in on him to listen to God's word, Jesusa was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2
He saw two boats lying on the shore, but the fishermen had stepped out of them and were washing their nets.
3
So Jesusb got into one of the boats (the one that belonged to Simon) and asked him to push out a little from the shore.
Then he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.

The Miraculous Catch of Fish

Luke 5:4-11
4
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Push out into deep water, and lower your nets for a catch.”
5
Simon answered, “Master, we have worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll lower the nets.”
6
After the menc had done this, they caught so many fish that the nets began to tear.
7
So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats until the
boatsd began to sink.
8
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees and said, “Leave me, Lord! I am a sinful man!”
9
For Simone and all the people who were with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught,
10
and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons and Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Stop being afraid.
From now on you will be catching people.”
11
So when they brought the boats to shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.f

For at certain times an angel of the Lord would go down into the pool and stir up the water. And the one who
stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.d

One particular man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

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

The sick man answered him, “Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I'm
trying to get there, someone else steps down ahead of me.”

John 5:2-15
9
The man immediately became well, and he picked up his mat and started walking. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10
So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.”
11
But he answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12
They asked him, “Who is the man who told you, ‘Pick it up and walk’?”
13
But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away from the crowd in that place.
14
Later on, Jesus found him in the temple and told him, “See, you have become well. Stop sinning or something worse
may happen to you.”
15
The man went off and told the Jewse that it was Jesus who had made him well.

So the Jewsf began persecuting Jesus because he kept doing such things on the Sabbath.
17
But Jesusg answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I, too, am working.”
18
So the Jewsh were trying all the harder to kill him, because he was not only breaking the Sabbath but was also calling
God his own Father, thus making himself equal to God.
19
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own accord, but only what he sees the
Father doing. For what he does, the Son does likewise.
20
For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. And he will show him even greater works than
these, so that you may be amazed.
21
Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to those he chooses.
22
For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
23
so that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the
Father who sent him.
24
“Truly, truly I tell you, the one who hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and does not
come under judgment, but has passed from death to life.
25
Truly, truly I tell you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and
those who hear it will live.
26
For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted the Son to have life in himself.
27
And he has given him authority to pass judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28
Don't be amazed at this, because the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29
and will come out—those who have done what is good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced what
is evil to the resurrection of condemnation.i
30
I can do nothing on my own accord. 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.”
31
“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
32
There is another who testifies about me, and I knowj that the testimony he gives about me is true.
33
You have sent messengersk to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34
I myself do not accept human testimony, but I am saying these things so that you may be saved.
35
That man was a lamp that burns and brightly shines, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.
36
But I have a greater testimony than John's, for the works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works
that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.
37
Moreover, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his
appearance,
38
nor do you have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he sent.
39
You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about
me.
40
But you are not willing to come to me to have life.

Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set

ἔμπροσθέν σου, ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιου̂σιν ἐν
ται̂ς συναγωγαι̂ς καὶ ἐν ται̂ς ῥύμαις, ὅπως
δοξασθω̂σιν ὑπὸ τω̂ν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμι̂ν,
ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτω̂ν.
3
σου̂ δὲ ποιου̂ντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ
ἀριστερά σου τί ποιει̂ ἡ δεξιά σου,
4
ὅπως ᾐ̂ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῳ̂ κρυπτῳ̂· καὶ ὁ
πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῳ̂ κρυπτῳ̂ ἀποδώσει σοι.
5
Καὶ ὅταν προσεύχησθε, οὐκ ἔσεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί,
ὅτι φιλου̂σιν ἐν ται̂ς συναγωγαι̂ς καὶ ἐν ται̂ς
γωνίαις τω̂ν πλατειω̂ν ἑστω̂τες προσεύχεσθαι,
ὅπως φανω̂σιν τοι̂ς ἀνθρώποις· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμι̂ν,
ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτω̂ν.
6
σὺ δὲ ὅταν προσεύχῃ, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ ταμει̂όν σου καὶ
κλείσας τὴν θύραν σου πρόσευξαι τῳ̂ πατρί σου τῳ̂
ἐν τῳ̂ κρυπτῳ̂· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῳ̂
κρυπτῳ̂ ἀποδώσει σοι.
7
Προσευχόμενοι δὲ μὴ βατταλογήσητε ὥσπερ οἱ
ἐθνικοί, δοκου̂σιν γὰρ ὅτι ἐν τῃ̂ πολυλογίᾳ αὐτω̂ν

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth.’u
39
But I tell you not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary,
whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to
him as well.
40
If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him
have your coat as well.
41
And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go two with
him.
42
Give to the person who asks you for something, and do
not turn away from the person who wants to borrow
something from you.”
43
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You must love your
neighbor’v and hate your enemy.
44
But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those
who persecute you,
45
so that you will become children of your Father in
heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the
good, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the
unrighteous.
46
For if you love those who love you, what reward will
you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don't
they?
47
And if you greet only your brothers, what great thing
are you doing? Even the gentilesw do the same, don't
they?
48
So be perfect,x as your heavenly Father is perfect.”y
Chapter 6
1
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of
people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you
will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2
So whenever you give to the poor, don't blow a trumpet
before you like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and
in the streets so that they will be praised by people.
Truly I tell you, they have their full reward!
3
But when you give to the poor, don't let your left hand
know what your right hand is doing,
4
so that your giving may be done in secret. And your
Father who sees in secret will reward you.”a
5
“And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites
who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street
corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I tell
you, they have their full reward!
6
But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the
door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And
your Father who sees in secret will reward you.b
7
“When you are praying, don't say meaningless words
like the gentiles do, for they think they will be heard
because of their wordiness.

μὴ οὐ̂ν ὁμοιωθη̂τε αὐτοι̂ς· οἰ̂δεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμω̂ν

16
Οταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταὶ

19
Μὴ θησαυρίζετε ὑμι̂ν θησαυροὺς ἐπὶ τη̂ς γη̂ς, ὅπου

20
θησαυρίζετε δὲ ὑμι̂ν θησαυροὺς ἐν οὐρανῳ̂, ὅπου
οὔτε σὴς οὔτε βρω̂σις ἀφανίζει καὶ ὅπου κλέπται οὐ
διορύσσουσιν οὐδὲ κλέπτουσιν·
21
ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρός σου, ἐκει̂ ἔσται καὶ ἡ

22
Ὁ λύχνος του̂ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός. ἐὰν οὐ̂ν

25
∆ιὰ του̂το λέγω ὑμι̂ν, μὴ μεριμνα̂τε τῃ̂ ψυχῃ̂ ὑμω̂ν

8
Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you
need before you ask him.
9
“Therefore, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in
heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10
May your kingdom come. May your will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven.
11
Give us today our daily bread,
12
and forgive us our sins,c as we have forgiven those who
have sinned against us.d
13
And never bring us into temptation, but deliver us from
the evil one.’e
14
For if you forgive people their offenses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you.
15
But if you do not forgive people their offenses,f your
Father will not forgive your offenses.”
16
“Whenever you fast, don't be gloomy like the
hypocrites. For they put on sad faces to show others
they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have their full
reward!
17
But when you fast, put oil ong your head and wash your
face,
18
so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but by
your Father who sees in secret. And your Father who is
in secret will reward you.”h
19
“Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth,
where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break
in and steal.
20
But keep on storing up treasures for yourselves in
heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy and
where thieves do not break in and steal.
21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
22
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is
healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
23
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of
darkness. Therefore, if the light in you is darkness, how
great is that darkness!”
24
“No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate
one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise
the other. You cannot serve God and riches!”i
25
“That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your
life—what you will eat or what you will drinkj—or
about your body—what you will wear. Life is more than
food, isn't it, and the body more than clothing?

32

26
Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest
or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't
you?
27
Can any of you add a single hour to your span of lifek
by worrying?
28
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the
lilies in the field and how they grow. They don't work
or spin yarn,
29
but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor
was clothed like one of them.
30
Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field,
which is alive today and thrown into an oven
tomorrow, won't he clothe you much better—you who
have little faith?
31
“So don't ever worry by saying, ‘What are we going to
eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we
going to wear?’
32
For it is the gentiles who are eager for all those things.
Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of
them!
33
But first be concerned about God's kingdom and his
righteousness,l and all of these things will be provided
for you as well.
34
So never worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its
own.”
Chapter 7
1
“Stop judging, so that you won't be judged.
2
For with the judgment you use,a you will be judged. And
with the measure you use,b you will be measured.
3
“Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail
to notice the beam in your own eye?
4
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the
speck out of your eye,’ when the beam is in your own
eye?
5
You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own
eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the
speck from your brother's eye.”
6
“Never give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls
before pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them with
their feet and then turn around and attack you.”
7
“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep
searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the
doorc will be opened for you.
8
For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the
person who keeps searching will find, and the person
who keeps knocking will have the doord opened.
9
“There isn't a person among you who would give his son
a stone if he asked for bread, is there?

13
Εἰσέλθατε διὰ τη̂ς στενη̂ς πύλης· ὅτι πλατει̂α ἡ
πύλη καὶ εὐρύχωρος ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀπάγουσα εἰς τὴν
ἀπώλειαν καὶ πολλοί εἰσιν οἱ εἰσερχόμενοι διʼ
αὐτη̂ς·
14
τί στενὴ ἡ πύλη καὶ τεθλιμμένη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀπάγουσα
εἰς τὴν ζωὴν καὶ ὀλίγοι εἰσὶν οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτήν.
15
Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τω̂ν ψευδοπροφητω̂ν, οἵτινες
ἔρχονται πρὸς ὑμα̂ς ἐν ἐνδύμασιν προβάτων,
ἔσωθεν δέ εἰσιν λύκοι ἅρπαγες.

συλλέγουσιν ἀπὸ ἀκανθω̂ν σταφυλὰς ἢ ἀπὸ
τριβόλων συ̂κα;
17
οὕτως πα̂ν δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιει̂,
τὸ δὲ σαπρὸν δένδρον καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιει̂.
18
οὐ δύναται δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς πονηροὺς

ἄρα γε ἀπὸ τω̂ν καρπω̂ν αὐτω̂ν ἐπιγνώσεσθε
αὐτούς.
21
Οὐ πα̂ς ὁ λέγων μοι, Κύριε κύριε, εἰσελεύσεται εἰς
τὴν βασιλείαν τω̂ν οὐρανω̂ν, ἀλλʼ ὁ ποιω̂ν τὸ
θέλημα του̂ πατρός μου του̂ ἐν τοι̂ς οὐρανοι̂ς.
22
πολλοὶ ἐρου̂σίν μοι ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῃ̂ ἡμέρᾳ, Κύριε
κύριε, οὐ τῳ̂ σῳ̂ ὀνόματι ἐπροφητεύσαμεν, καὶ τῳ̂
σῳ̂ ὀνόματι δαιμόνια ἐξεβάλομεν, καὶ τῳ̂ σῳ̂
ὀνόματι δυνάμεις πολλὰς ἐποιήσαμεν;
23
καὶ τότε ὁμολογήσω αὐτοι̂ς ὅτι Οὐδέποτε ἔγνων
ὑμα̂ς· ἀποχωρει̂τε ἀπʼ ἐμου̂ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν
ἀνομίαν.
24
Πα̂ς οὐ̂ν ὅστις ἀκούει μου τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ
ποιει̂ αὐτούς, ὁμοιωθήσεται ἀνδρὶ φρονίμῳ, ὅστις
ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτου̂ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν·
25
καὶ κατέβη ἡ βροχὴ καὶ ἠ̂λθον οἱ ποταμοὶ καὶ
ἔπνευσαν οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ προσέπεσαν τῃ̂ οἰκίᾳ
ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἔπεσεν, τεθεμελίωτο γὰρ ἐπὶ τὴν
πέτραν.
33

10
Or if he asks for a fish, he wouldn't give him a snake,
would he?
11
So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will your Father in
heaven give good things to those who keep on asking
him!
12
Therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, do
the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
13
“Go in through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide
and the road is spacious that leads to destruction, and
many people are entering by it.
14
How narrow is the gate and how constricted is the road
that leads to life, and few are the people who find it!”
15
“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps’
clothing but inwardly are savage wolves.
16
By their fruit you will know them. Grapes aren't
gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?
17
In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit,
but a rotten tree produces bad fruit.
18
A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree
cannot produce good fruit.
19
Every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down
and thrown into a fire.
20
So by their fruit you will know them.”
21
“Not everyone who keeps saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only the person
who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven.
22
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, we
prophesied in your name, drove out demons in your
name, and performed many miracles in your name,
didn't we?’
23
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Get
away from me, you evildoers!’”e
24
“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine
and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house
on a rock.
25
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and
beat against that house, but it did not collapse because
its foundation was on the rock.

Soon afterwards, Jesusg went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were going along with him.
12
As he approached the entrance to the city, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother's only son,
and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.
13
When the Lord saw her, he felt compassion for her. He said to her, “You can stop crying.”
14
Then he went up and touched the open coffin, and the men who were carrying it stopped. He said, “Young man, I
say to you, get up!”
15
The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesush gave him back to his mother.

Fear gripped everyone, and they began to praise God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us,” and “God
has helped his people.”

Jesus Rebukes Three Cities

Matthew 11:20-30
20
Then Jesusi began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had taken place, because they didn't repent.
21
“How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that happened
in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22
Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you!
23
And you, Capernaum! You won't be lifted up to heaven, will you? You'll go down to Hell!j For if the miracles that
happened in you had taken place in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
24
Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you!”
25
At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from
wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants.
26
Yes, Father, for this is what was pleasing to you.
27
All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one fully knows the Son except the Father, and no one fully
knows the Father except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest.
29
Place my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30
For my yoke is pleasant,k and my burden is light.”

Jesus Dines with Simon the Pharisee

Luke 7:36-50
36
Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesusq to eat with him. So he went to the Pharisee's home and took his place at the
table.
37
There was a woman who was a notoriousr sinner in that city. When she learned that Jesuss was eating at the
Pharisee's home, she took an alabaster jar of perfume
38
and knelt at his feet behind him. She was crying and began to wash his feet with her tears and dry them with her
hair.t Then she kissed his feet over and over again, anointing them constantly with the perfume.
39
Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesusu saw this and said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have
known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is. She's a sinner!”
40
Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Teacher,” he replied, “say it.”
41
“Two men were in debt to a moneylender. One owed him 500 denarii,v and the other fifty.
42
When they couldn't pay it back, he generously canceled the debts for both of them. Now which of them will love
him the most?”
43
Simon answered, “I suppose the one who had the larger debt canceled.” Jesusw said to him, “You have answered
correctly.”
44
Then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You didn't give me
any water for my feet, but this woman has washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45
You didn't give me a kiss,x but this woman, from the moment I came in, has not stopped kissing my feet.
46
You didn't anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume.
47
So I'm telling you that her sins, as many as they are, have been forgiven, and that's why she has shown such great
love. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little.”
48
Then Jesusy said to her, “Your sins are forgiven!”
49
Those who were at the table with them began to say among themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?”
50
But Jesusz said to the woman, “Your faith had saved you. Go in peace.”

Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the

The Parables Are Explained in Private

Matthew 13:36-53
36
Then Jesusn left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable
about the weeds in the field.”
37
He answered, “The person who sowed good seed is the Son of Man,
38
while the field is the world. The good seed are those who belong too the kingdom, while the weeds are those who
belong top the evil one.
39
The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
40
Just as weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at end of theq age.
41
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes others to sin and
those who practice lawlessness
42
and they will throw them into a blazing furnace. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.r
43
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. Let the person who has earss listen!”
44
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field that a man found and hid. In his joy he went and sold
everything he had and bought that field.”
45
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
46
When he found a very valuable pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.”
47
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea that gathered all kinds of fish.
48
When it was full, the fisherment hauled it ashore. Then they sat down, sorted the good fish into containers, and
threw the bad ones away.
49
That is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from the righteous
50
and will throw them into a blazing furnace. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”u
51
“Do you understand all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.”
52
Then he told them, “That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a
household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest.”
53

They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”n

Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith, let it be done for you!”

And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly told them, “See to it that nobody knows about this.”

When they hand you over, don't
worry about how you are to speakj
or what you are to say, for in that
hour what you are to say will be

“Brother will hand brother over to
death, and a father his child.

You will be hated by everyone
because of my name. But the person
who endures to the end will be
saved.

So when they persecute you in one
town, flee to the next. For truly I tell
you, you certainly will not have

“A disciple is not above his teacher,
and a slave is not above his master.
25
It is enough for a disciple to be like
his teacher and a slave to be like his
master. If they have called the head
of the house Beelzebul, how much
more will they do the same tol those
of his household!”
26
“So never be afraid of them. For
there is nothing covered that will
not be exposed, and nothing secret
that will not be made known.
27
What I tell you in darkness you
must speak in the daylight, and
what is whisperedm in your ear you
must shout from the housetops.

Stop beingn afraid of those who kill
the body but can't kill the soul.
Instead, be afraid of the one who
can destroy both body and soul in

The Death of John the Baptist

Matthew 14:1-12
1
At that time Herod the tetrarch,a hearing about the fame of Jesus,
2
said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and that's why these miracles are at
work in him.”
3
For Herod had arrested John, bound him with chains, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother
Philip'sb wife,
4
For John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5
Although Herodc wanted to kill him, he was afraid of the crowd, since they regarded Johnd as a prophet.
6
But when Herod's birthday celebration was held, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests.e She pleased
Herod
7
so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked for.
8
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me, right here on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
9
Though the king was saddened at this, because of his oaths and his guests he ordered it to be given.
10
So he sent wordf and had John beheaded in prison.
11
His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.
12
When John'sg disciples came, they carried off the body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

Mark 6:14-29 Luke 9:7-9
17
For Herod himself had sent men who arrestedj John,
bound him with chains, and put him in prison on
account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. For
Herodk had married her.
18
John had been telling Herod, “It's not lawful for you to
have your brother's wife.”
19
So Herodias bore a grudge against Johnl and wanted to
kill him. But she couldn't do it
20
because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that Johnm
was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him.
Whenever he listened to John,n he did much of what he
said.o In fact, he liked listening to him.
21
An opportunity came during Herod's birthday
celebration, when he gave a banquet for his top officials,
military officers, and the most important people of
Galilee.
22
When the daughter of Herodiasp came in and danced,
she pleased Herod and his guests. So the king told the
girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to
you.”
23
He swore with an oath to her, “I'll give you anything
you ask for, up to half of my kingdom.”
24
So she went out and said to her mother, “What should I
ask for?” Her motherq replied, “The head of John the
Baptist.”
25
Immediately the girlr hurried back to the king with her
request, “I want you to give me right now the head of
John the Baptist on a platter.”
26
The king was deeply saddened, yet because of his oaths
and his guests he was reluctant to refuse her.
27
So without delay the king sent a soldier and ordered
him to bring John'ss head. The soldiert went and
beheaded him in prison.
28
Then he brought John'su head on a platter and gave it to
the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29
When John'sv disciples heard about this, they came and
carried off his body and laid it in a tomb.

John 6:22-7:1
22
The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea noticed that only one boat had been there,
and no other, and that Jesus had not gotten into that boat with his disciples. Instead, his disciples had gone away by
themselves.
23
Other small boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given
thanks.g
24
When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to
Capernaum to look for Jesus.
25
When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbih, when did you get here?”
26
Jesus replied to them, “Truly, truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate
the loaves and were completely satisfied.
27
Do not work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.”
28
Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
29
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God: to believe in the one whom he has sent.”
30
So they said to him, “What sign are you going to do so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you
performing?
31
Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”i
32
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father
who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33
For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34
Then they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time.”
35
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never become hungry, and the one who
believes in me will never become thirsty.
36
I told you that you have seen me,j yet you do not believe.
37
Everything the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never turn away.
38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
39
And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything that he has given me, but should raise it
to life on the last day.
40
For this is my Father's will, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will
raise him to life on the last day.”
41
Then the Jewsk began grumbling about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

John 6:22-7:1
42
They kept saying, “This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, ‘I
have come down from heaven’?”
43
Jesus answered them, “Stop grumbling among yourselves.
44
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him to life on the last day.
45
It is written in the Prophets, ‘And all of them will be taught by God.’l Everyone who has listened to the Father and
has learned anything comes to me.
46
Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who comes from God. This one has seen the Father.
47
Truly, truly I tell you, the one who believes in mem has eternal life.
48
I am the bread of life.
49
Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
50
This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die.
51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. And the bread I
will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52
Then the Jews debated angrily with each other, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53
So Jesus told them, “Truly, 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.
54
The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day.
55
For my flesh is realn food, and my blood is realo drink.
56
The person who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
57
Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of
me.
58
This is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind that your ancestors ate. They died, but the one who eats
this bread will live forever.”
59
He said this while teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
60
When many of his disciples heard this, they said, “This is a difficult statement. Who can acceptp it?”
61
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this offend you?
62
What if you saw the Son of Man going up to the place where he was before?
63
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64
But there are some among you who do not believe.” For from the beginning Jesus knew those who wouldn't believe,
as well as the one who would betray him.
65
So he said, “That's why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father.”
66
As a result,q many of his disciples turned back and no longer associatedr with him.
67
So Jesus said to the twelve, “You don't want to leave, too, do you?” 68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom
would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69
Besides, we have believed and remain convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”s
70
Jesus answered them, “I chose you twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil.”
71
Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.t For this man, even though he was one of the twelve,
was going to betray him. 7

After this, Jesus traveled abouta in Galilee, for he didn't want to travelb in Judea because the Jewsc were trying to kill
him.

So his brothers said to him, “You should leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples can see the works that
you're doing.
4
For no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal
yourself to the world!”
5
For not even his brothers believed in him.
6
Jesus told them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.e
7
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil.

An Adulterous Woman Is Brought to Jesus

But the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery.a After setting her before them,b
4
they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery.
5
Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. What do you say?”
6
They said this to test him, so that they might have a charge against him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on
the ground with his finger.
7
When they persisted in questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let the person among you who is
without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8
Then he bent down again and continued writing on the ground.c
9
When they heard this, they went away one by one,d beginning with the oldest,e and he was left alone with the
woman standing there.f
10
Then Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers?g Hasn't anyone condemned you?”
11

Later on Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in
darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13
The Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”j
14
Jesus answered them, “Even though I am testifying about myself, my testimony is validk because I know where I
have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
15
You are judging by human standards,l but I am not judging anyone.
16
Yet even if I should judge, my judgment would be valid,m for it is not I alone who judges, but I and the one who
sent me.
17
In your own law it is written that the testimony of two people is valid.n
18
I am testifying about myself, and the Father who sent me is testifying about me.”

Then they said to him, “Where is this Father of yours?” Jesus replied, “You do not know me or my Father. If you had
known me, you would have known my Father also.”
20
He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his
hour had not yet come.

John 8:21-30
21
Later on he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot
come where I am going.”
22
So the Jews said, “He isn't going to kill himself, is he? Is that why he said,o ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”
23
He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, but I am not of this world.
24
That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
25
Then they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus told them, “What have I been telling you all along?p
26
I have much to say about you and to condemn you for.q But the one who sent me is truthful,r and what I have heard
from him I declare to the world.”
27
They didn't realize that he was talking to them about the Father.
28
So Jesus told them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do
nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.
29
Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone because I always do what pleases him.”
30
While he was saying these things, many believed in him.

31
So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are really my disciples.
32
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33
They replied to him, “We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves to anybody. So how can you say,
‘You will be set free’?”
34
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I tell you that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.s
35
The slave does not remain in the household forever, but the son does remain forever.
36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!”
37
“I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me because my word finds no reception
among you.
38
I declare what I have seen in myt Father's presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.”
39
They replied to him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would be
doing what Abraham did.u
40
But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would not
have done that.
41
You are doing your father's works.” They said to him, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God
himself.”
42
Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would have loved me, because I came from God and am here. For I
have not come on my own accord, but he sent me.
43
Why don't you understand my language? It's because you can't listen to my words.
44
You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from
the beginning and has never stood by the truth,v since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie he speaks in
character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 8:31-59
45
But it is because I speak the truth that you do not believe me.
46
Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
47
The one who belongs to God listens to the words of God. The reason you do not listen is because you do not belong
to God.”
48
The Jewsw replied to him, “Surely we are right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon, aren't we?”
49
Jesus answered, “I don't have a demon. On the contrary, I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50
I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks it, and he is the Judge.
51
Truly, truly I tell you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death at all.”
52
Then the Jewsx said to him, “Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets,
but you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death at all.’
53
You aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who are you making
yourself out to be?”
54
Jesus answered, “If I were trying to glorify myself, my glory would mean nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of
whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
55
You don't know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I don't know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do
know him and keep his word.
56
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
57
Then the Jews said to him, “You are not even fifty years old, yet you have seen Abraham?”y
58
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, I am!”
59
At this, they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

John 9:1-7
1
As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.
2
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi,a who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?”
3
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so thatb the works of God might be
revealed in him.
4 c
I must work the works of the one who sent med while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.
5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6
After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he spread the mud on the man's eyes
7
and told him, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “Sent One”). So he went off and washed and
came back seeing.

Then the neighbors and those who had previously seen him as a beggar said, “This is the man who used to sit and
beg, isn't it?”
9
Some were saying, “It is he,” while others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He himself kept saying, “It is
I!”
10
So they said to him, “How, then, were your eyes opened?”
11
He said, “The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So off
I went and washed, and I received my sight.”
12
They said to him, “Where is that man?” He said, “I don't know!”

So they brought to the Pharisees the man who had once been blind.

Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

The Pharisees Ask a Question

John 9:40-10:6
40
̓́Ηκουσαν ἐκ τω̂ν Φαρισαίων ταυ̂τα οἱ μετʼ αὐτου̂ ὄντες καὶ εἰ̂πον αὐτῳ̂, Μὴ καὶ ἡμει̂ς τυφλοί ἐσμεν;
41
εἰ̂πεν αὐτοι̂ς ὁ ʼΙησου̂ς, Εἰ τυφλοὶ ἠ̂τε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν· νυ̂ν δὲ λέγετε ὅτι Βλέπομεν, ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμω̂ν
μένει.

John 9:13-34
15
So the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, then I
washed, and now I can see.”
16
Some of the Pharisees began to remark, “This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath.” But
others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17
So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, for it was your eyes he opened?” He said, “He is a
prophet.”
18
The Jewse did not believef that he had been blind and had been given sight until they summoned his parentsg
19
and asked them, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How does he now see?”
20
His parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21
But we don't know how it is that he now sees, and we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age and
can speak for himself.”
22
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews.h For the Jewsi had already agreed that anyone who
acknowledged that Jesusj was the Christk would be thrown out of the synagogue.
23
That's why his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
24
So for 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.”
25
But he responded, “I don't know whether he is a sinner or not. The one thing I do know is that I used to be blind
and now I can see!”
26
Then they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27
He answered them, “I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want
to become his disciples, too, do you?”
28
At this, they turned on him furiously and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!
29
We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from.”
30
The man answered them, “This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.
32
Never since creation has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man who was born blind.
33
If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that.”
34
They said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are trying to instruct us?” And they threw him out.

Jesus Finds the Blind Man

John 9:35-39
35
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”l
36
He answered, “And who is he, sir?m Tell me,n so that I may believe in him.”
37
Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. He is the person who is talking with you.”
38
He said, “Lord, I do believe,” and worshiped him.
39
Then Jesus said, “I have come into this world for judgment, so that those who are blind may see, and those who see
may become blind.”

Some of the Pharisees who were near him overheard this and said to him, “We aren't blind, too, are we?”
41
Jesus told them, “If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”

Chapter 10
1
“Truly, truly I tell you, the person who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in by some other
way, is a thief and a bandit.
2
The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3
It is to him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and it is his voice the sheep hear. He calls his own sheep by name and
leads them out.
4
When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his
voice.
5
They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”
6
Jesus used this illustration with them, but they didn't understand what he was saying to them.
Jesus Is the Good Shepherd

John 10:7-18
7
So again Jesus said, “Truly, truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8
All who came before mea are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9
I am the gate. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
10
The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays downb his life for the sheep.
12
The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, deserts the sheep, and
runs away. So the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
13
For he is a hired hand, and the sheep do not matter to him.
14
I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,
15
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay downc my life for the sheep.
16
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they will listen to my voice. So there
will be one flock and one shepherd.
17
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it back again.
18
No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the
authority to take it back again. This is a command that I have received from my Father.”

Division Among the Jews

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
20
Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why bother listening to him?”
21
Others were saying, “These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of
the blind, can it?”

After this, the Lord appointed seventya other disciplesb and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place
that he intended to go.
2
He was telling them, “The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out
into his harvest.
3
Get going! See, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4
Don't carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don't greet anyone on the way.
5
“Whatever house you go into, first say, ‘May there be peace in this house.’
6
If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting of peace will remain with him. But if that's not the case, your greetingc
will come back to you.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Luke 10:29-37
29
But the man wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30
After careful consideration, Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the
hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
31
By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man,r he went by on the other side.
32
Similarly, a Levite came to that place. When he saw the man,s he also went by on the other side.
33
But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man.t When the Samaritanu saw him, he was moved with
compassion.
34
He went 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.
35
The next day he took out two denariiv and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take good care of him. If you spend
more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.’
36
“Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?”
37
He said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do what he did.”

Martha Prepares While Mary Listens

38
Now as they were traveling along, Jesusw went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her
home.
39
She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and kept listening to what he was saying.
40
But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, you do care that
my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don't you? Then tell her to help me.”
41
The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things.
42
But there's onlyx one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better,y and it is not to be taken away from her.”

Jesus Teaches the Disciples to Pray

Luke 11:1-13
1 a
Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. After he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to
pray, as John taught his disciples.”
2
So he told them, “Whenever you pray you are to say, ‘Father,b may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom
come.c
3
Keep giving us every day our daily bread,d
4
and forgive us our sins, as we forgive everyone who sins against us.e And never bring us into temptation.’”f
5
Then he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, let
me borrow three loaves of bread.
6
A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don't have anything to serve him.’
7
Suppose he answers from inside, ‘Stop bothering me! The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed.
I can't get up and give you anything!’
8
I tell you, even though he doesn't want to get up and give him anything because he is his friend, he will get up and
give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
9
So I say to you: Keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the
doorg will be opened for you.
10
For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who
keeps knocking will have the doorh opened.
11
“What father among you, if his son asks for bread, would give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish,i would give him a
snake instead of the fish?
12
Or if he asks for an egg, would he give him a scorpion?
13
So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give
the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!”

Teachings on Demons and Blasphemy

Luke 11:14-26
14
Jesusj was driving a demon out of a man who wask unable to talk. When the demon had gone out, the manl began
to speak, and the crowds were amazed.
15
But some of them said, “He drives out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”
16
Others, wanting to test Jesus,m kept asking him for a sign from heaven.
17
Since he knew what they were thinking, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a
divided household collapses.n
18
Now if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? For you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
19
And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followerso drive them out? That is why they will be
your judges!
20
But if I drive out demons by the fingerp of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
21
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own mansion, his property is safe.
22
But when a stronger man than he attacks him and defeats him, he'll take away his armor in which he trusted and
divide his plunder.
23
The person who isn't with me is against me, and the person who doesn't gather with me scatters.”
24
“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders through dry places looking for a place to rest but
doesn't find any. So it says, ‘I will go back to my home that I left.’
25
When it arrives, it finds it swept clean and put in order.
26
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the
final condition of that person is worse than the first.”

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when it is evil,
your body is full of darkness.

Therefore, be careful that the light in you isn't darkness.

Luke 12:16-40
16
Εἰ̂πεν δὲ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων, ʼΑνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα.
17
καὶ διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῳ̂ λέγων, Τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω που̂ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου;
18
καὶ εἰ̂πεν, Του̂το ποιήσω, καθελω̂ μου τὰς ἀποθήκας καὶ μείζονας οἰκοδομήσω καὶ συνάξω ἐκει̂ πάντα τὸν
σι̂τον καὶ τὰ ἀγαθά μου
19
καὶ ἐρω̂ τῃ̂ ψυχῃ̂ μου, Ψυχή, ἔχεις πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα εἰς ἔτη πολλά· ἀναπαύου, φάγε, πίε, εὐφραίνου.
20
εἰ̂πεν δὲ αὐτῳ̂ ὁ θεός, ̓́Αφρων, ταύτῃ τῃ̂ νυκτὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου ἀπαιτου̂σιν ἀπὸ σου̂· ἃ δὲ ἡτοίμασας, τίνι

Luke 12:1-12
3
Accordingly, what you have said in darkness will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whisperedc in private
rooms will be shouted from the housetops.”
4
“But I tell you, my friends, never be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can't do anything more.
5
I'll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the authority to throw you into helld after
killing you. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him!
6
“Five sparrows are sold for two pennies, aren't they? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight.
7
Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of
sparrows.”
8
“But I tell you, the Son of Man will acknowledge before God's angels everyone who acknowledges me before people.
9
But whoever denies me before people will be denied before God's angels.
10
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the person who blasphemes against the
Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11
When peoplee bring you before synagogue leaders,f rulers, or authorities, don't worry about howg you will defend

Jesus Warns Against Greed

Luke 12:13-15
13
Then someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.”
14
But Jesush said to him, “Mister,i who appointed me to be a judge or arbitrator over you people?”j
15
Then he said to them, “Be careful to guard yourselves against every kind of greed, for a person's life doesn't consist
of the amount of possessions he has.”

Luke 12:16-40
16
Then he told them a parable. He said, “The land of a certain rich man produced good crops.
17
So he began to think to himself, ‘What should I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’
18
Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and I'll store all my grain and goods
in them.
19
Then I'll say to my soul, “Soul, you've stored up plenty of good things for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and
enjoy yourself.”’
20
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Now who will get the things
you've accumulated?’
21
That's how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself and isn't rich toward God.”
22
Then Jesusk said to his disciples, “That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat—or
about your body—what you will wear.
23
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24
Consider the crows.l They don't plant or harvest, they don't even have a storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them.
How much more valuable are you than birds!
25
Can any of you add an hour to your span of lifem by worrying?
26
So if you can't do a small thing like that, why worry about other things?
27
Consider how the lilies grow. They don't work or spin yarn, but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor
was clothed like one of them.
28
Now if that's the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow,
how much more will he clothe you—you who have little faith?
29
“So stop concerning yourselves about what you will eat or what you will drink, and stop being distressed.
30
For it is the gentiles who are concerned about all these things. Surely your Father knows that you need them!

24
So the Jews surrounded him and said to him, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the
Christ,g tell us so plainly.”
25
Jesus answered them, “I have told you, but you do not believe it. The works that I do in my Father's name testify on
my behalf,
26
but you do not believe because you do not belong to my sheep.h
27
My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
28
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29
What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand.
30
I and the Father are one.”
31
Again the Jewsi picked up stones to stone him to death.
32
Jesus replied to them, “I have shown you many good works from myj Father. For which of them are you going to
stone me?”
33
The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you for a good work but for blasphemy, because you, a mere
man, are making yourself God!”
34
Jesus replied to them, “Is it not written in yourk law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?l
35
If he called those to whom the word of God came ‘gods’ (and the Scripture cannot be set aside),
36
how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’
because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37
If I am not doing my Father's works, do not believe me.
38
But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and
understandm that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

Again they tried to seize him, but he slipped away out of their hands.

important than you was invited by him.
9
Then the host who invited both of you would come to you and say, ‘Give this person your place.’ In disgrace, you
would have to take the place of least honor.
10
But when you are invited, go and sit down at the place of least honor. Then, when your host comes, he will tell you,
‘Friend, move up higher,’ and you will be honored in the presence of all who eat with you.

The Lost Sheep, Coin, and Son

Luke 15:2-32
2
But the Pharisees and the scribes kept complaining, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3
So he told them this parable:
4
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. He leaves the ninety-nine in the wilderness and
looks for the one that is lost until he finds it, doesn't he?
5
When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices.
6
Then he goes home, calls his friends and neighbors together, and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my
lost sheep!’
7
In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine
righteous people who need no repentance.”
8
“Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them.b She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches
carefully until she finds it, doesn't she?
9
When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin
that I lost!’
10
In the same way, I tell you that there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents.”
11
Then Jesusc said, “A man had two sons.
12
The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So the fatherd divided his property
between them.
13
A few days later, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country. There he wasted his
possessions on wild living.
14
After he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
15
So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16
He would gladly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17
“Then he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father's hired men have more food than they can eat, and
here I am starving to death!
18
I will get up, go to my father, and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heavene and you.
19
I don't deserve to be called your son anymore. Treat me like one of your hired men.”’
20
“So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.
He ran to his son,f threw his arms around him, and kissed him affectionately.
21
Then his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaveng and you. I don't deserve to be called your son
anymore.’h
22
But the father said to his servants, ‘Hurry! Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger and
sandals on his feet.
23
Bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let's eat and celebrate!
24
For my son was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.
25
“Now his older son was in the field. As he was coming back to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26
So he called to one of the servants and asked what was happening.
27
The servanti told him, ‘Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got him
back safely.’
28
“Then the older sonj became angry and wouldn't go into the house.k So his father came out and began to plead with
him.
29
But he answered his father, “Listen! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I've never disobeyed a command
of yours. Yet you've never given me so much as a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends.
30
But this son of yours spent your money on prostitutes, and when he came back, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
31
“His fatherl said to him, ‘My child, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
32
But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life. He was lost
and has been found.’”

1
̓́Ελεγεν δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς, ̓́Ανθρωπός τις ἠ̂ν πλούσιος ὃς εἰ̂χεν οἰκονόμον, καὶ οὑ̂τος διεβλήθη αὐτῳ̂

καὶ φωνήσας αὐτὸν εἰ̂πεν αὐτῳ̂, Τί του̂το ἀκούω περὶ σου̂; ἀπόδος τὸν λόγον τη̂ς οἰκονομίας σου, οὐ γὰρ

The Parable of the Unrighteous Steward

Luke 16:1-13
1
Now Jesusa was saying to the disciples, “A rich man had a manager who was accused of wasting his assets.
2
So he called for him and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Give me a report about your management, because
you can't be my manager any longer.’
3
“Then the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do? My master is taking my position away from me. I'm not strong
enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
4
I know what I'll do so that peopleb will welcome me into their homes when I'm dismissed from my job.’
5
“So he called for each of his master's debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6
The man replied, ‘A hundred jars of olive oil.’ The managerc told him, ‘Get your bill. Sit down quickly and write
“fifty.”’
7
Then he asked another debtor,d ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred containers of wheat.’ The
managere told him, ‘Get your bill and write “eighty.”’
8
The master praised the dishonest manager for being so clever. For worldly peoplef are more clever than enlightened
peopleg in dealing with their own generation.
9
“I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous riches,h so that when they're gone you'll be
welcomedi into eternal homes.j
10
Whoever is faithful with very little is also faithful with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with very little is also
dishonest with a lot.
11
So if you have not been faithful with unrighteous riches,k who will trust you with true wealth?l
12
And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to foreigners, who will give you what is your own?
13
“No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and riches!”m

Now the Pharisees, who love money, had been listening to all this and began to ridicule Jesus.n
15
So he said to them, “You try to justify yourselves in front of people, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly

16
“The law and the Prophets were prophesyingo until the time ofp John. Since then, the good news about the kingdom

“Once there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and live in great luxury every day.
20
A beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, was brought to his gate.
21
He was always craving to satisfy his hunger with what fellq from the rich man's table. In fact, even the dogs used to
come and lick his sores.
22
“One day the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was
buried.
23
In the afterlife,r where he was in constant torture, he looked up and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus by his side.
24
So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and to cool off
my tongue, because I am suffering in this fire.’
25
But Abraham said, ‘My child, remember that during your lifetime you received blessings,s while Lazarus received
hardships.t But now he is being comforted here, while you suffer.

Jesus Instructs His Disciples

Luke 17:1-10
1
Jesusa said to his disciples, “It is inevitable that temptations to sin will come, but how terrible it will be for the person
through whom they come!
2
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 sin.
3
“Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and comes back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must
forgive him.”
5
Then the apostles said to the Lord, “Give us more faith!”
6
The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of ab mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and
planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!
7
“Suppose a man among you has a servant plowing or watching sheep. Would he say to him when he comes in from
the field, ‘Come at once and have something to eat’?
8
Of course not. Instead, he would say to him, ‘Get dinner ready for me, and put on your apron and wait on me until I
eat and drink. Then you can eat and drink.’
9
He doesn't praise the servant for doing what was commanded, does he?
10
That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless
servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.’”

John 11:1-44
1
Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2
Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus
was the one who was ill.
3
So the sisters sent word to Jesus,a saying, “Lord, the one whom you love is ill.”
4
But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness is not meant to end in death. It is for God's glory, so that the Son of God
may be glorified through it.”
5
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6
Yet, when he heard that Lazarusb was ill, he stayed where he was for two days.
7
After this he said to the disciples, “Let's go back to Judea.”
8
The disciples said to him, “Rabbic, the Jews were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there
again?”
9
Jesus replied, “There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble,
because he sees the light of this world.
10
But if anyone walks at night he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11
These were the things he said. Then after this he told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am leaving to
wake him up.”

John 11:1-44
12
So the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”
13
Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about resting or sleeping.
14
Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died.
15
For your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let's go to him.”
16
Then Thomas, who was called the Twin,d said to his fellow disciples, “Let's go, too, so that we may die with him!”
17
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazaruse had already been in the tomb for four days.
18
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two milesf away,
19
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother.
20
As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.
21
Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22
But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give it to you.”
23
Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.g The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.
26
Indeed, everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?”
27
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ,h the Son of God, the one who was to come into the
world.”
28
When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is
calling for you!”
29
As soon as Maryi heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30
Now Jesus had not yet arrived at the village but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31
When the Jews who had been with her, consoling her in the house, saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they
followed her, thinking that she had gone to the tomb to cry there.
32
As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had
been here, my brother would not have died.”
33
When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was greatly troubled in spirit and deeply
moved.
34
He said, “Where have you put him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35
Jesus burst into tears.
36
So the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”
37
But some of them said, “Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying,
couldn't he?”
38
Groaning deeply again, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39
Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, “Lord, there must be a stench by now,
because he's been dead for four days.”
40
Jesus said to her, “I told you that if you believed you would see God's glory, didn't I?”
41
So they removed the stone. Then Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me.
42
I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may
believe that you sent me.”
43
After saying this, he shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44
The dead man came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus
told them, “Untie him, and let him go.”

So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Councilj and said, “What are we going to do? This man is
performing many signs.
48
If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our templek
and our nation.”
49
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, “You don't know anything!
50
You don't realize that it is better for youl to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation
destroyed.”
51
Now he did not say this on his own initiative. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the
nation,
52
and not only for the nation, but that he would also gather into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
53
So from that day on they resolved to put him to death.

Luke 17:22-37
26
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.
27
Peoplel were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the
ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.
28
So it was in the days of Lot. Peoplem were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29
But on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed all of them.
30
The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that.
31
“The person who is on the housetop that day must not come down to get the belongings out of his house. The
person in the field, too, must not turn back.
32
Remember Lot's wife!
33
Whoever tries to save his lifen will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34
I tell you, two people will be in the same bed that night. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.
35
Two woman will be grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.”o

The Parable of the Unjust Judge

Luke 18:1-8
1 a b
Jesus told his disciples a parable about their need to pray all the time and never give up.
2
He said, “In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people.
3
In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4
For a while the judgec refused. But later he said to himself, ‘I don't fear God or respect people.
5
Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me
out.’”
6
Then the Lord added, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7
Won't God grant his chosen people justice when they cry out to him day and night? Is he slow to help them?
8
I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

Luke 18:9-14
9
Jesusd also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, but who looked
down on everyone else:
10
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people—thieves, dishonest
people, adulterers, or even this tax collector.
12
I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income.’
13
“But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even look up to heaven. Instead, he continued to beat his
chest and said, ‘O God, be merciful to me, the sinner that I am!’e
14
I tell you, this man, rather than the other, went down to his home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted.”

As Jesusa entered Jericho and was passing through it,

a man named Zacchaeus appeared. He was a leading tax collector, and a rich one at that!
3
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he couldn't do so because of the crowd. (He was short in height.)
4
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus,b who was going to pass that way.
5
When Jesus came to the tree,c he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house
today.”
6
Zacchaeusd came down quickly and was glad to welcome him into his home.e
7
But all the people who saw this began to complain, saying, “He went to be the guest of a notoriousf sinner!”
8
Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Lord, I'll give half of my possessions to the poor. I'll pay four times as
much as I oweg if I have cheated anyone in any way.”
9
Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this home, because he, too, is a descendant of Abraham.

But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation to follow him, saying, ‘We don't want this man to rule

15
“After he was appointed king, he came back. He ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called
so that he could find out what they had made by investing.

The first servantk came and said, ‘Sir, your coin has earned ten more coins.’

Then why didn't you put my money in the bank? When I returned, I could have collected it with interest.’

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

Matthew 22:1-14
1
Again Jesus spoke to them in parables. He said,
2
“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.
3
He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come.
4
Soa he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look, I've prepared my dinner. My oxen and
fattened calves have been slaughtered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!”’
5
But they paid no attention to this and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.
6
The rest grabbed the king'sb servants, treated them brutally, and then killed them.
7
Then the king became outraged. He sent his troops, and they destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9
So go into the roads leading out of town and invite as many people as you can find to the wedding.’
10
Those servants went out into the streets and brought in all the people they found, evil and good alike, and the
wedding hall was packed with guests.
11
“When the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
12
He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the manc was speechless.
13
Then the king told his servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the outer darkness! In that place there
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’d
14
For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

Therefore, the one who swears an

The one who swears an oath by the

And the one who swears an oath by

outside may also be clean.

hypocrites! You are like
whitewashed tombs that look
beautiful on the outside but inside
are full of dead people's bones and
every kind of impurity.

In the same way, on the outside you
look righteous to people, but inside
you are full of hypocrisy and
lawlessness.

hypocrites! You build tombs for the
prophets and decorate the
monuments of the righteous.

Then you say, ‘If we had been living

Now five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3
For when the foolish ones took their lamps, they didn't take any oil with them.
4
But the wise ones took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5Since the groom was late, all of them became sleepy and lay
down.
6
“But at midnight there came a shout: ‘The groom is here! Come out to meet him!’
7
Then all the bridesmaidsc woke up and got their lamps ready.
8
But the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out!’
9
But the wise ones replied, ‘No! There will never be enough for us and for you. Better go to the dealers and buy some
for yourselves.’

“While they were away buying it, the groom arrived. Those who were ready went with him into the wedding
banquet, and the door was closed.

The Parable of the Talents

Matthew 25:14-30
14
“For it is like a man going on a trip who called his servants and turned his money over to them.
15
To one man he gave five talents,f to another two, and to another one, based on their ability. Then he went on his trip.
16
“The one who received five talents went out at once and invested them and earned five more.
17
In the same way, the one who had two talents earned two more.
18
But the one who received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.
19
“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
20
The one who had received five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you gave me five
talents. See, I've earned five more talents.’
21
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small
amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!’
22
“The one with two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I've earned two more
talents.’
23
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small
amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!’
24
“Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew that you were a hard man,
harvesting where you haven't planted and gathering where you haven't scattered any seed.
25
Being afraid, I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here, take what is yours!’
26
“His master answered him, ‘You evil and lazy servant! So you knew that I harvested where I haven't planted and
gathered where I haven't scattered any seed?
27
Then you should have invested my money with the bankers. When I returned, I would have received my money
back with interest.
28
Take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents.
29
For to everyone who has something, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the person
who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30
Throw this useless servant into the outer darkness! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”g

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32
All the nations will be assembled in front of him, and he will separate them from each other as a shepherd separates
the sheep from the goats.
33
He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.
34
“Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35
For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a
stranger, and you welcomed me.
36
I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37
“Then the righteous will say to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty
and give you something to drink?
38
When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39
When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.
21
They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22
Philip went and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

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

Truly, truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it
produces a lot of grain.
25
The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.
26
If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the
Father will honor him.”
27
“Now my soul is in turmoil, and what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No! It was for this very reason
that I came to this hour.
28
Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!”
29
The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to
him.”
30
Jesus replied, “This voice has come for your benefit, not for mine.
31
Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin.j Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.

As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”

Τετύφλωκεν αὐτω̂ν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ ἐπώρωσεν αὐτω̂ν τὴν καρδίαν, ἵνα μὴ ἴδωσιν τοι̂ς ὀφθαλμοι̂ς καὶ
νοήσωσιν τῃ̂ καρδίᾳ καὶ στραφω̂σιν, καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς.

John 12:23-50
34
Then the crowd answered him, “We have learnedk from the law that the Christi remains forever. So how can you say
that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35
Jesus said to them, “The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness
may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is
going.
36
As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.” After Jesus had said
this, he went away and hid from them.
37
Although he had performed numerous signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
38
so that the word that the prophet Isaiah spoke might be fulfilled when he said: “Lord, who has believed our message,
and to whom has the armm of the Lord been revealed?”n
39
For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah also said,
40
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand
with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”o
41
Isaiah said this whenp he saw his glory and spoke about him.
42
Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it for
fear that they would be thrown out of the synagogue.
43
For they loved the praise of people more than the praise of God.
44
Then Jesus said loudly, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me but in the one who sent me.
45
The one who sees me sees the one who sent me.
46
I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.
47
If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world
but to save it.q
48
The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I have spoken
will judge him on the last day.
49
For I have not spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment
about what to say and how to speak.
50
And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”

Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel that
was tied around his waist.
6
Then he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7
Jesus answered him, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later on you will understand.”
8
Peter said to him, “You must never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with
me.”
9
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”
10
Jesus told him, “The person who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is entirely clean. And you
menb are clean, though not all of you.”
11
For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and said to them, “Do you realize what
I have done to you?
13
You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are rightc because that is what I am.
14
So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you must also wash one another's feet.

For I have given you an example, so that you may do as I have done to you.

Truly, truly I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who

Jesus Responds to Philip

John 14:8-21
8
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us.”
9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? The person who has seen
me has seen the Father. So how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10
You believe, don't you, 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. It is the Father who dwells in me who does his works.
11
Believe me, I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe meb because of the works themselves.
12
“Truly, truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater
works than these because I am going to the Father.
13
I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14
If you ask mec for anything in my name, I will do it.”
15
“If you love me, keepd my commandments.
16
I will ask the Father to givee you another Helper, to be with you always.
17
He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you
recognize him, for he abides with you and will be inf you.
18
I am not going to forsake you like orphans. I will come back to you.
19
“In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20
On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you.
21
The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be
loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him.”

John 14:22-30
22
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
23
Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to
him and make our home within him.
24
The one who does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine, but comes from the
Father who sent me.
25
“I have told you this while I am still with you.
26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of
all that I have told you.

I am leaving peace with you. I am giving you my own peace. I am not giving it to you as the world gives. So do not
let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
28
You have heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that
I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.
29
I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

I will not talk with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.g

1
ʼΕγώ εἰμι ἡ ἄμπελος ἡ ἀληθινή καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ γεωργός ἐστιν.

John 15:1-16:33
1
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.
2
He removes every branch in me that does not produce fruit, and he cleanses every branch that does produce fruit so
that it might produce more fruit.
3
You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
4
“Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you unless you abide in me.
5
I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in hima produces much fruit, for apart
from me you can do nothing.
6
Unless a person abides in me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up. People gather such branchesb and throw
them into the fire, and they are burned.
7
If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be yours.
8
This is how my Father is glorified, when you produce a lot of fruit and prove to be my disciples.
9
Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.
10
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide
in his love.
11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12
“This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.
13
No one showsc greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.
14
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15
I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you
friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
16
“You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last,d so that
whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
17
I am giving you these commandments so that you may love one another.”
18
“If the world hates you, you should realize that it hated me before you.
19
If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I
have chosen you out of it,e the world hates you.
20
Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will
also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21
They will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have any sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
23
The person who hates me also hates my Father.
24
If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have any sin. But now they have seen
and hated both me and my Father.
25
But this happened so thatf the word written in their law might be fulfilled: ‘They hated me for no reason.’g
26
“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father,
he will testify on my behalf.
27
You will testify also, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Chapter 16
1
“I have told you this to keep you from falling away.a
2
They will throw you out of the synagogues. Yes, an hour is coming when the one who kills you will think he is
serving God!
3
They will do this because they have not known the Father or me.
4
But I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell
you this in the beginning, because I was with you.”
5
“But now I am going to the one who sent me. Yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

Ταυ̂τα ἐλάλησεν ʼΙησου̂ς καὶ ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτου̂ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰ̂πεν, Πάτερ, ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα·

John 15:1-16:33
6
But because I have told you this, sorrow has filled your hearts.
7
However, I am telling you the truth. It is for your advantage that I am going away, for if I do not go away the Helper
will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8
When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—
9
of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10
of righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;
11
and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.b
12
“I still have a lot to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.
13
Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own accord, but will
speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.
14
He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
15
All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, ‘He will take what is mine and declare it to you.’
16
In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again.”
17
At this point, some of his disciples said to each another, “What does he mean by telling us, ‘In a little while you will
no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,’ and ‘because I am going to the Father’?”
18
They kept saying, “What is this ‘in a little while’ that he keeps talking about? We don't know what he means.”
19
Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him a question, so he said to them, “Are you discussing among yourselves what I
meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again’?
20
Truly, truly I tell you, you will cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be deeply distressed, but your pain
will turn into joy.
21
When a woman is in labor she has pain, for her hour has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she
doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.
22
Now you are having pain. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away
from you.
23
On that day, you will not ask me for anything. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you ask the Father for in my name, he
will give it to you.c
24
So far you haven't asked for anything in my name. Keep asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be
complete.”
25
“I have said these things to you in figurative language. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in
figurative language, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26
On that day, you will ask in my name. I am not telling you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27
For the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.d
28
I left the Father and have come into the world. Nowe I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
29
His disciples said, “Well, now you're speaking plainly and not using figurative language.
30
Now we know that you know everything and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. Because of this, we
believe that you have come from God.”
31
Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32
Listen, the hour is coming, indeed it has already come, when you will be scattered, each of you to his own home, and
you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33
I have told you this so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be courageous—I
have overcome the world!”

John 17:1-26
3
And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent—Jesus Christ.
4
I glorified you on earth by completing the task you gave me to do.
5
So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.
6
I have made your name known to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
7
Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you,
8
because the words that you gave me I have given to them. They have received them and know for sure that I came
from you. And they have believed that you sent me.
9
I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, for they are
yours.
10
All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.
11
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your
name, the namec that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
12
While I was with them, I protected them by your name that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them
became lost except the one who was destined ford destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13
“And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in
themselves.
14
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, for they do not belong to the world, just as I do not
belong to the world.
15
I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.
16
They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
17
Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth.
18
Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19
It is for their sakes that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified by the truth.
20
“I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message,
21
that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be onee in us, so that the
world may believe that you sent me.
22
I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
23
I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and
that you have loved them as you loved me.
24
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because
you loved me before the creation of the world.
25
“Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent
me.
26
I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for mef may be in
them and I myself may be in them.”

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen, went forward and said to them, “Who are you looking
for?”
5
They answered him, “Jesus from Nazareth.”a Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas, the man who betrayed him, was
standing with them.
6
When Jesusb told them, “I am he,” they backed away and fell to the ground.
7
So he asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus from Nazareth.”c
8
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”

This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken, “I did not lose a single one of those you gave me.”

Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his own teaching.
20
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the temple,
where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.
21
Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said. These are the people who know what I said.”
22
When he said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Jesus on the face and said, “Is that any way to answer
the high priest?”
23
Jesus answered him, “If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was.d But if I have told the truth, why do you hit
me?”
24
Then Annas sent him, with his hands tied, to Caiaphas the high priest.

John 19:31-32

removed.

So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other man who had been crucified with him.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin),a Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other
disciples were together.
3
Simon Peter said to them, “I'm going fishing.” They told him, “We'll go with you, too.” So they went out and got into
the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.
4
Just as dawn was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn't realize it was Jesus.
5
Jesus said to them, “Children, you don't have any fish, do you?” They answered him, “No.”

John 21:1-14
6
He told them, “Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catchb some.” So they threw it out and
were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.
7
That disciple whom Jesus kept loving said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
put back on his clothes, for he was practically naked, and jumped into the sea.
8
But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about a hundred yardsc away
from the shore.
9
When they arrived at the shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish lying on it, and some bread.
10
Jesus told them, “Bring me some of the fish you've just caught.”
11
So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish—153 of them. And although there
were so many of them, the net was not torn.
12
Then Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?”, for
they knew it was the Lord.
13
Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and didd the same with the fish.
14
This was now the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.

John 21:15-23
15
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesuse told him, “Feed my lambs.”
16
Then he said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that
I love you.” Jesusf told him, “Take care of my sheep.”
17
He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was deeply hurt that he had said to him a
third time, “Do you love me?” So he said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!” Jesus told
him, “Feed my sheep.
18
“Truly, truly I tell you, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you
get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want
to go.”
19
Now he said this to show by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, he told him, “Keep
following me.”
20
Peter turned around and noticed the disciple whom Jesus kept loving following them. He was the one who had put
his head on Jesus’ chest at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?”
21
When Peter saw him, he said, “Lord, what about him?”
22
Jesus said to him, “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you? You must keep
following me!”
23
So the rumor spread among the brothersg that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he
wasn't going to die, but, “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, how does that concern you?”

About the Harmony Outline
The outline for A Harmony of the Gospels from the International Standard Version New Testament is adapted from A. T.
Robertson’s work. (See “Internet Resources” below).
About the Greek Text
The Greek text in A Harmony of the Gospels from the International Standard Version New Testament is from the Greek New
Testament United Bible Societies 4th Edition (Corrected). Sometimes referred to as the “critical text” or the “eastern
manuscript tradition,” this is the Greek text most widely used today. The Nestle-Aland text is the basis for nearly every
modern Bible translation in the past one hundred years and was the base text used by The ISV Foundation’s Committee
on Bible Translation when the International Standard Version New Testament was being translated. The Greek text is
identical to the Nestle-Aland 26th/27th Edition.

A HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD VERSION NEW TESTAMENT
® ®
The International Standard Version (ISV ), produced by The ISV Foundation of Fullerton, California, offers
an exciting opportunity to read and study the Scriptures in a fresh, new way. This major English language
translation of the Bible embodies the best results of modern scholarship as to the meaning of Scripture, and
it expresses this meaning in clear and natural English.
The ISV is “international” in that slang and regionalisms are avoided, and “standard” in that it is
designed for public worship, for church school curricula, for religious publishing, and for both personal and
group study. And with the ISV text, study tools, and software readily available to the public via the Internet, the ISV
provides new opportunities for in-depth study of God’s Word anywhere in the world, by anyone, and at any time.
A Harmony of the Gospels is the first of the study aids to be developed for the International Standard Version New
Testament by Davidson Press. This edition includes the following features:
• Text from the International Standard Version New • Alternate readings in hundreds of informative
Testament, Release 1.3.0 footnotes
• Up to four columns of parallel texts • Internet reference section for further study

Note the differences in detail about this event. Matthew gives the basic facts. Mark adds a nice little detail about the
motivations of the guards for tossing dice for Christ’s robe. This detail might have helped his audience (Romans and
perhaps even Roman soldiers) to identify with the scene. Luke is the only author to record the famous “Father, forgive
them” statement. And note how the ISV brings out the iterative nature of the Greek grammar of the text: “Jesus kept
saying...” Jesus did not ask only once; forgiveness was a repetitive request from the cross. John adds the most amount
of detail, even going so far as to describe the seamless nature of the garment and to comment on the fulfilled
prophecy.
