JOHN THE BAPTIST DOUBTS
11 
 When  Jesus  had fin ished giv ing in struc-

 from  there  to  teach  and  preach  in  their  towns. 2  Now  when  John  heard  in pris on  what  the 
 Christ  was do ing,  he  sent  a mes sage  through 
 his dis ci ples 3  and  asked  him, “ Are  you  the  one 
 who  is  to  come,  or  should  we ex pect some-
one  else? ”
4  Jesus re plied  to  them, “ Go  and re port  to 
 John  what  you  hear  and  see: 5  The  blind re ceive 
 their  sight,  the  lame  walk,  those  with lep ro sy i 
 are  cleansed,  the  deaf  hear,  the  dead  are  raised, 
 and  the  poor  are  told  the  good  news, 6  and 
 blessed  is  the  one  who  isn’t off  end ed  by  me.”

 they  said  to  him, “ See,  your dis ci ples  are do-

3  He  said  to  them, “ Haven’t  you  read  what 
Da vid  did  when  he  and  those  who  were  with 
 him  were hun gry: 4  how  he en tered  the  house 
 of  God,  and  they  ate i  the  bread  of  the Pres ence

 a shriv eled  hand,  and  in or der  to ac cuse  him

bath,  wouldn’t  take  hold  of  it  and  lift  it  out? 12  A per son  is  worth  far  more  than  a  sheep;  so

WHY JESUS USED PARABLES
10  Then  the dis ci ples  came  up  and  asked  him, 
“ Why  are  you speak ing  to  them  in par a bles? ”
11  He an swered, “Be cause  the se crets  of  the 
king dom  of heav en  have  been giv en  for  you  to 
 know ,  but  it  has  not  been giv en  to  them. 12  For 
who ev er  has,  more  will  be giv en  to  him,  and 
 he  will  have  more  than  enough;  but who ev-
er  does  not  have,  even  what  he  has  will  be 
tak en  away  from  him. 13  That  is  why  I  speak 
 to  them  in par a bles, be cause look ing  they 
 do  not  see,  and hear ing  they  do  not lis ten  or 
un der stand. 14 Isa iah’s proph e cy  is ful filled 
 in  them,  which  says:
  You will listen and listen,
  but never understand;
  you will look and look,
  but never perceive. 15 For this people’s heart 
has grown callous;
  their ears are hard of hearing,
  and they have shut their eyes;
  otherwise they might see 
with their eyes,
  and hear with their ears, and
  understand  
with their hearts,
  and turn back —
  and I would heal them. b
16 “ Blessed  are  your  eyes  be cause  they  do  see, 
 and  your  ears be cause  they  do  hear. 17  For tru-
ly  I  tell  you,  many proph ets  and righ teous 
peo ple  longed  to  see  the  things  you  see  but 
 didn’t  see  them,  to  hear  the  things  you  hear 
 but  didn’t  hear  them. THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER EXPLAINED
18 “ So lis ten  to  the par a ble  of  the sow er: 19  When 
any one  hears  the  word  about  the king dom  and 
 doesn’t un der stand  it,  the  evil  one  comes  and 
snatch es  away  what  was  sown  in  his  heart. This  is  the  one  sown  along  the  path.

THE PARABLES OF THE MUSTARD SEED AND

31  He pre sent ed an oth er par a ble  to  them: “ The 
king dom  of heav en  is  like  a mus tard  seed  that 
 a  man  took  and  sowed  in  his  field. 32  It’s  the 
small est  of  all  the  seeds,  but  when  grown,  it’s 
tall er  than  the gar den  plants  and be comes 
 a  tree,  so  that  the  birds  of  the  sky  come  and 
 nest  in  its branch es.”
33  He  told  them an oth er par a ble: “ The king-

 took  and  mixed  into fif ty  pounds b  of  flour 
un til  all  of  it  was leav ened.”

JESUS INTERPRETS THE PARABLE OF THE WHEAT

36  Then  he  left  the  crowds  and  went  into  the 
 house. His dis ci ples ap proached  him  and  said, 
“Ex plain  to  us  the par a ble  of  the  weeds  in  the 
 field.”
37  He re plied: “ The  one  who  sows  the  good 
 seed  is  the  Son  of  Man; 38  the  field  is  the  world; 
 and  the  good  seed  —   these  are  the chil dren  of 
 the king dom. The  weeds  are  the chil dren  of  the 
 evil  one, 39  and  the en e my  who  sowed  them  is 
 the dev il. The har vest  is  the  end  of  the  age,  and

as  the  weeds  are gath ered  and  burned  in  the

A GENTILE MOTHER’S FAITH
21  When  Jesus  left  there,  he with drew  to  the 
 area  of  Tyre  and Si don. 22  Just  then  a Ca naan-
ite wom an  from  that re gion  came  and  kept 
cry ing  out, i “ Have mer cy  on  me,  Lord,  Son  of 
Da vid! My daugh ter  is se vere ly tor ment ed

26  He an swered, “ It  isn’t  right  to  take  the 
chil dren’s  bread  and  throw  it  to  the  dogs.”
27 “ Yes,  Lord,”  she  said, “ yet  even  the  dogs  eat 
 the  crumbs  that  fall  from  their mas ters’ ta ble.”
28  Then  Jesus re plied  to  her, “Wom an,  your

 and  sat  there, 30  and  large  crowds  came  to  him, 
in clud ing  the  lame,  the  blind,  the crip pled, 
 those un able  to  speak,  and  many oth ers. They 
 put  them  at  his  feet,  and  he  healed  them. 31  So 
 the  crowd  was  amazed  when  they  saw  those 
un able  to  speak talk ing,  the crip pled re stored, 
 the  lame walk ing,  and  the  blind see ing,  and 
 they  gave glo ry  to  the  God  of Is ra el. FEEDING OF THE FOUR THOUSAND

24  When  the  ten dis ci ples  heard  this,  they be-

mand ed  that  they  keep qui et,  but  they  cried 
 out  all  the  more, “ Lord,  have mer cy  on  us,  Son

32  Jesus  stopped,  called  them,  and  said, “ What 
 do  you  want  me  to  do  for  you? ”
33 “ Lord,”  they  said  to  him, “ open  our  eyes.” 
34  Moved  with com pas sion,  Jesus  touched  their 
 eyes. Im me di ate ly  they  could  see,  and  they 
fol lowed  him. THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
21 
 When  they ap proached Je ru sa lem  and 
 came  to Beth pha ge  at  the  Mount  of 
Ol ives,  Jesus  then  sent  two dis ci ples, 2 tell-
ing  them, “ Go  into  the vil lage  ahead  of  you. At  once  you  will  find  a don key  tied  there 
 with  her  foal. Un tie  them  and  bring  them 
 to  me. 3  If any one  says any thing  to  you,  say 
 that  the  Lord  needs  them,  and  he  will  send 
 them  at  once.”
4  This  took  place  so  that  what  was spo ken 
 through  the proph et  might  be ful filled:
 5 Tell Daughter Zion,
  “See, your King is coming to you,
  gentle, and mounted on a donkey ,
  and on a colt,
  the foal of a donkey .”  i
6  The dis ci ples  went  and  did  just  as  Jesus 
di rect ed  them. 7  They  brought  the don key  and 
 its  foal;  then  they  laid  their  clothes  on  them, 
 and  he  sat  on  them. 8  A  very  large  crowd  spread 
 their  clothes  on  the  road; oth ers  were cut ting 
branch es  from  the  trees  and spread ing  them 
 on  the  road. 9  Then  the  crowds  who  went  ahead 
 of  him  and  those  who fol lowed shout ed:
  Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name
  of the Lord! j
  Hosanna in the highest heaven! 10  When  he en tered Je ru sa lem,  the  whole  city 
 was  in  an up roar, say ing, “ Who  is  this? ” 11  The 
 crowds  were say ing, “ This  is  the proph et  Jesus

 not  only  do  what  was  done  to  the  fig  tree,  but 
 even  if  you  tell  this moun tain, ‘ Be lift ed  up  and

22 
 Once  more  Jesus  spoke  to  them  in par-
a bles: 2 “ The king dom  of heav en  is  like 
 a  king  who  gave  a wed ding ban quet  for  his 
 son. 3  He  sent  his ser vants  to sum mon  those 
in vit ed  to  the ban quet,  but  they  didn’t  want 
 to  come. 4  Again,  he  sent  out oth er ser vants 
 and  said, ‘ Tell  those  who  are in vit ed:  See,  I’ve 
pre pared  my din ner;  my  oxen  and fat tened 
cat tle  have  been slaugh tered,  and ev ery thing 
 is  ready . Come  to  the wed ding ban quet.’
5 “ But  they  paid  no at ten tion  and  went  away , 
 one  to  his  own  farm, an oth er  to  his busi ness, 
6  while  the  rest  seized  his ser vants, mis treat ed 
 them,  and  killed  them. 7  The  king b  was en raged, 
 and  he  sent  out  his  troops,  killed  those mur-
der ers,  and  burned  down  their  city . 8 “ Then  he  told  his ser vants, ‘ The ban quet  is 
 ready ,  but  those  who  were in vit ed  were  not 
wor thy . 9  Go  then  to  where  the  roads  exit  the 
 city  and in vite ev ery one  you  find  to  the ban-
quet.’ 10  So  those ser vants  went  out  on  the  roads 
 and gath ered ev ery one  they  found,  both  evil 
 and  good. The wed ding ban quet c  was  filled 
 with  guests. d 11  When  the  king  came  in  to  see 
 the  guests,  he  saw  a  man  there  who  was  not 
 dressed  for  a wed ding. 12  So  he  said  to  him, 
‘ Friend,  how  did  you  get  in  here with out wed-
ding  clothes? ’  The  man  was speech less. 13 “ Then  the  king  told  the at ten dants, ‘ Tie 
 him  up  hand  and  foot, e  and  throw  him  into  the 
out er dark ness,  where  there  will  be weep ing 
 and gnash ing  of  teeth.’
14 “ For  many  are in vit ed,  but  few  are cho sen.”

DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE PREDICTED
24 
 As  Jesus  left  and  was go ing  out  of  the 
tem ple,  his dis ci ples  came  up  and  called 
 his at ten tion  to  its build ings. 2  He re plied  to 
 them, “ Do  you  see  all  these  things? Tru ly  I  tell 
 you,  not  one  stone  will  be  left  here  on an oth er 
 that  will  not  be  thrown  down.”
SIGNS OF THE END OF THE AGE
3  While  he  was sit ting  on  the  Mount  of Ol ives, 
 the dis ci ples ap proached  him pri vate ly  and 
 said, “ Tell  us,  when  will  these  things hap pen? And  what  is  the  sign  of  your com ing  and  of 
 the  end  of  the  age? ”
4  Jesus re plied  to  them: “ Watch  out  that  no 
 one de ceives  you. 5  For  many  will  come  in  my 
 name, say ing, ‘ I  am  the Mes si ah,’  and  they 
 will de ceive  many . 6  You  are go ing  to  hear  of 
 wars  and ru mors  of  wars. See  that  you  are 
 not  alarmed, be cause  these  things  must  take 
 place,  but  the  end  is  not  yet. 7  For na tion  will 
 rise  up  against na tion,  and king dom  against 
king dom. There  will  be fam ines e  and earth-
quakes  in var i ous plac es. 8  All  these  events 
 are  the be gin ning  of la bor  pains. PERSECUTIONS PREDICTED
9 “ Then  they  will  hand  you  over  to  be per se-
cut ed,  and  they  will  kill  you. You  will  be hat ed 
 by  all na tions be cause  of  my  name. 10  Then 
 many  will  fall  away , be tray  one an oth er,  and 
 hate  one an oth er. 11  Many  false proph ets  will 
 rise  up  and de ceive  many . 12 Be cause law-
less ness  will mul ti ply ,  the  love  of  many  will 
 grow  cold. 13  But  the  one  who en dures  to  the 
 end  will  be  saved. 14  This  good  news  of  the 
king dom  will  be pro claimed  in  all  the  world f 
 as  a tes ti mo ny  to  all na tions,  and  then  the 
 end  will  come. THE GRE AT TRIBUL ATION
15 “ So  when  you  see  the abom i na tion  of des‑
o la tion, g spo ken  of  by  the proph et Dan iel, 
stand ing  in  the  holy  place” ( let  the read er 
un der stand), 16 “ then  those  in Ju dea  must  flee 
 to  the moun tains. 17  A  man  on  the housetop h 
 must  not  come  down  to  get  things  out  of 
 his  house, 18  and  a  man  in  the  field  must  not 
 go  back  to  get  his  coat.

“ You  have  said  it,”  he  told  him. THE FIRST LORD’S SUPPER
26  As  they  were eat ing,  Jesus  took  bread,  blessed 
 and  broke  it,  gave  it  to  the dis ci ples,  and  said, 
“ Take  and  eat  it;  this  is  my  body .” 27  Then  he 
 took  a  cup,  and af ter giv ing  thanks,  he  gave 
 it  to  them  and  said, “ Drink  from  it,  all  of  you. 28  For  this  is  my  blood  of  the cov enant, c  which 
 is  poured  out  for  many  for  the for give ness  of 
 sins. 29  But  I  tell  you,  I  will  not  drink  from  this 
 fruit  of  the  vine  from  now  on un til  that  day 
 when  I  drink  it  new  with  you  in  my Fa ther’s 
king dom.” 30 Af ter sing ing  a  hymn,  they  went 
 out  to  the  Mount  of Ol ives. PETER’S DENIAL PREDICTED
31  Then  Jesus  said  to  them, “To night  all  of  you

  I will strike the shepherd,
  and the sheep of the flock 
will be scattered. d
32  But af ter  I  have ris en,  I  will  go  ahead  of  you 
 to Gal i lee.”
33 Pe ter  told  him, “ Even  if ev ery one  falls 
 away be cause  of  you,  I  will nev er  fall  away .”
34 “Tru ly  I  tell  you,”  Jesus  said  to  him, “to-
night, be fore  the roost er  crows,  you  will  deny 
 me  three  times.”
35 “ Even  if  I  have  to  die  with  you,” Pe ter  told 
 him, “ I  will nev er  deny  you,”  and  all  the dis ci-

36  Then  Jesus  came  with  them  to  a  place  called 
Geth sem a ne,  and  he  told  the dis ci ples, “ Sit 
 here  while  I  go  over  there  and  pray .” 37 Tak ing 
 along Pe ter  and  the  two  sons  of Zeb e dee,  he 
be gan  to  be sor row ful  and trou bled. 38  He  said 
 to  them, “ I  am deep ly  grieved e  to  the  point 
 of  death. Re main  here  and  stay  awake  with 
 me.” 39 Go ing  a lit tle far ther, f  he  fell face down 
 and  prayed, “ My Fa ther,  if  it  is pos si ble,  let 
 this  cup  pass  from  me. Yet  not  as  I  will,  but 
 as  you  will.”
40  Then  he  came  to  the dis ci ples  and  found 
 them sleep ing. He  asked Pe ter, “ So,  couldn’t  you 
 stay  awake  with  me  one  hour? 41  Stay  awake 
 and  pray ,  so  that  you  won’t en ter  into temp ta-

64  So  give or ders  that  the  tomb  be  made se cure

 may  come,  steal  him,  and  tell  the peo ple, ‘ He

de cep tion  will  be  worse  than  the  first.”
65 “ You  have k  a  guard  of sol diers,” Pi late  told 
 them. “ Go  and  make  it  as se cure  as  you  know 
 how .” 66  They  went  and se cured  the  tomb  by 
set ting  a  seal  on  the  stone  and plac ing  the

Af ter  the Sab bath,  as  the  first  day  of  the

 he  saw Si mon  and An drew , Si mon’s broth er, 
cast ing  a  net  into  the  sea  —   for  they  were fish-

 are  —   the  Holy  One  of  God! ”
25  Jesus re buked  him say ing, “ Be si lent,  and 
 come  out  of  him! ” 26  And  the un clean spir it 
 threw  him  into con vul sions, shout ed  with  a

 the  son  of Al phae us sit ting  at  the  toll  booth, 
 and  he  said  to  him, “Fol low  me,”  and  he  got 
 up  and fol lowed  him. 15  While  he  was re clin ing  at  the ta ble  in  Levi’s 
 house,  many  tax col lec tors  and sin ners  were 
eat ing f  with  Jesus  and  his dis ci ples,  for  there 
 were  many  who  were fol low ing  him. 16  When 
 the  scribes  who  were Phar i sees g  saw  that  he 
 was eat ing  with sin ners  and  tax col lec tors, 
 they  asked  his dis ci ples, “ Why  does  he  eat h 
 with  tax col lec tors  and sin ners? ”
17  When  Jesus  heard  this,  he  told  them, “ It 
 is  not  those  who  are  well  who  need  a doc tor, 
 but  those  who  are  sick. I  didn’t  come  to  call 
 the righ teous,  but sin ners.”

 the Sab bath. 28  So  then,  the  Son  of  Man  is  Lord

PETER’S CONFESSION OF THE MESSIAH
27  Jesus  went  out  with  his dis ci ples  to  the vil lages 
 of Caes a rea Phi lip pi. And  on  the  road  he  asked 
 his dis ci ples, “ Who  do peo ple  say  that  I  am? ”
28  They an swered  him, “ John  the Bap tist; 
oth ers, Eli jah;  still oth ers,  one  of  the proph ets.”
29 “ But  you,”  he  asked  them, “ who  do  you 
 say  that  I  am? ”
Pe ter an swered  him, “ You  are  the Mes si ah.” 
30  And  he strict ly  warned  them  to  tell  no  one 
 about  him. HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION PREDICTED
31  Then  he be gan  to  teach  them  that  it  was 
nec es sary  for  the  Son  of  Man  to suff  er  many 
 things  and  be re ject ed  by  the el ders,  chief 
 priests,  and  scribes,  be  killed,  and  rise af ter 
 three  days. 32  He  spoke open ly  about  this.

THE TRANSFIGURATION
2 Af ter  six  days  Jesus  took Pe ter,  James,  and 
 John  and  led  them  up  a  high moun tain  by 
them selves  to  be  alone. He  was trans fig ured 
 in  front  of  them, 3  and  his  clothes be came daz-
zling  —  ex treme ly  white  as  no laun der er  on 
 earth  could whiten  them. 4 Eli jah ap peared  to 
 them  with Mo ses,  and  they  were talk ing  with 
 Jesus. 5 Pe ter  said  to  Jesus, “Rab bi,  it’s  good  for 
 us  to  be  here. Let  us  set  up  three shel ters:  one 
 for  you,  one  for Mo ses,  and  one  for Eli jah” — 
6 be cause  he  did  not  know  what  to  say ,  since 
 they  were ter ri fied. 7  A  cloud ap peared, over shad ow ing  them, 
 and  a  voice  came  from  the  cloud: “ This  is  my 
be loved  Son; lis ten  to  him! ”
8 Sud den ly , look ing  around,  they  no lon ger 
 saw any one  with  them ex cept  Jesus. 9  As  they  were com ing  down  the moun tain, 
 he or dered  them  to  tell  no  one  what  they  had 
 seen un til  the  Son  of  Man  had ris en  from  the 
 dead. 10  They  kept  this  word  to them selves, 
ques tion ing  what “ris ing  from  the  dead”  meant. 11  Then  they  asked  him, “ Why  do  the  scribes 
 say  that Eli jah  must  come  first? ”
12 “Eli jah  does  come  first  and re stores  all 
 things,”  he re plied. “ Why  then  is  it writ ten 
 that  the  Son  of  Man  must suf fer  many  things 
 and  be treat ed  with con tempt? 13  But  I  tell  you 
 that Eli jah  has  come,  and  they  did what ev-
er  they  pleased  to  him,  just  as  it  is writ ten 
 about  him.”
THE POWER OF FAITH OVER A DEMON
14  When  they  came  to  the dis ci ples,  they  saw 
 a  large  crowd  around  them  and  scribes dis-
put ing  with  them. 15  When  the  whole  crowd

THE QUESTION OF DIVORCE
10 
 He  set  out  from  there  and  went  to  the 
re gion  of Ju dea  and  across  the Jor dan. Then  crowds converged  on  him  again,  and  as 
 was  his cus tom  he  taught  them  again. 2  Some Phar i sees  came  to  test  him, ask ing, 
“ Is  it law ful  for  a  man  to di vorce  his  wife? ”
3  He re plied  to  them, “ What  did Mo ses com-
mand  you? ”
4  They  said, “Mo ses per mit ted  us  to  write 
di vorce pa pers  and  send  her  away .”
5  But  Jesus  told  them, “ He  wrote  this com-
mand  for  you be cause  of  the hardness  of  your 
 hearts. 6  But  from  the be gin ning  of cre a tion 
 God g  made  them  male  and fe male. h 7  For  this 
rea son  a  man  will  leave  his fa ther  and moth‑

 they  are  no lon ger  two,  but  one  flesh. 9 There-
fore  what  God  has  joined to geth er,  let  no  one 
sep a rate.”
10  When  they  were  in  the  house  again,  the 
dis ci ples ques tioned  him  about  this mat ter. 11  He  said  to  them, “Who ev er di vorc es  his  wife 
 and mar ries an oth er com mits adul tery  against 
 her. 12  Also,  if  she di vorc es  her hus band  and 
mar ries an oth er,  she com mits adul tery .”
BLESSING THE CHILDREN
13 Peo ple  were bring ing lit tle chil dren  to  him 
 in or der  that  he  might  touch  them,  but  the dis-
ci ples re buked  them. 14  When  Jesus  saw  it,  he 
 was in dig nant  and  said  to  them, “ Let  the lit tle 
chil dren  come  to  me. Don’t  stop  them, be cause 
 the king dom  of  God be longs  to  such  as  these. 15 Tru ly  I  tell  you, who ev er  does  not re ceive k 
 the king dom  of  God  like  a lit tle  child  will nev-

 who fol lowed  him  were  afraid. Tak ing  the 
 Twelve  aside  again,  he be gan  to  tell  them  the

Bar ti mae us ( the  son  of Ti mae us),  a  blind beg-

48  Many  warned  him  to  keep qui et,  but  he  was 
cry ing  out  all  the  more, “ Have mer cy  on  me, 
 Son  of Da vid! ”
49  Jesus  stopped  and  said, “ Call  him.”
 So  they  called  the  blind  man  and  said  to 
 him, “ Have cour age! Get  up;  he’s call ing  for 
 you.” 50  He  threw  off  his  coat,  jumped  up,  and 
 came  to  Jesus. 51  Then  Jesus an swered  him, “ What  do  you 
 want  me  to  do  for  you? ”
“Rab bo ni,” e  the  blind  man  said  to  him, “ I

52  Jesus  said  to  him, “ Go,  your  faith  has  saved 
 you.” Im me di ate ly  he  could  see  and be gan  to

28  One  of  the  scribes ap proached. When  he 
 heard  them de bat ing  and  saw  that  Jesus an-
swered  them  well,  he  asked  him, “ Which com-
mand  is  the  most im por tant  of  all? ” 
29  Jesus an swered, “ The  most im por tant h  is 
Lis ten,  O Is ra el! The  Lord  our  God,  the  Lord 
 is  one. i 30  Love  the  Lord  your  God  with  all 
 your  heart,  with  all  your  soul,  with  all  your 
 mind,  and  with  all  your  strength. j,k 31  The 
sec ond  is,  Love  your neigh bor  as your self. l 
 There  is  no oth er com mand great er  than  these.”
32  Then  the  scribe  said  to  him, “ You  are  right, 
teach er. You  have cor rect ly  said  that  he  is  one, 
 and  there  is  no  one  else ex cept  him. 33  And 
 to  love  him  with  all  your  heart,  with  all  your

 and  to  love  your neigh bor  as your self,  is  far 
 more im por tant  than  all  the  burnt off  er ings

 he  said  to  him, “ You  are  not  far  from  the king-
dom  of  God.”  And  no  one  dared  to ques tion 
 him  any lon ger. THE QUESTION ABOUT THE CHRIST

 asked, “ How  can  the  scribes  say  that  the Mes-
si ah  is  the  son  of Da vid? 36 Da vid him self  says

 asked  him, “ Where  do  you  want  us  to  go  and

THE DEATH OF JESUS
33  When  it  was  noon, a dark ness  came  over 
 the  whole  land un til  three  in  the af ter noon. b 
34  And  at  three  Jesus  cried  out  with  a  loud 
 voice, “ Eloi,  Eloi,  lemá sabachtháni? ”  which 
 is trans lat ed, “ My  God,  my  God,  why  have 
 you aban doned  me? ” c
35  When  some  of  those stand ing  there  heard 
 this,  they  said, “ See,  he’s call ing  for Eli jah.”
36 Some one  ran  and  filled  a  sponge  with 
 sour  wine,  fixed  it  on  a  stick, off  ered  him  a 
 drink,  and  said, “ Let’s  see  if Eli jah  comes  to 
 take  him  down.”
37  Jesus  let  out  a  loud  cry  and  breathed  his 
 last. 38  Then  the cur tain  of  the tem ple  was  torn 
 in  two  from  top  to bot tom. 39  When  the cen-

 the  way  he d  breathed  his  last,  he  said, “Tru ly

 for  Jesus’s  body . 44 Pi late  was sur prised  that  he

 he  asked  him wheth er  he  had al ready  died. 45  When  he  found  out  from  the cen tu ri on,  he 
 gave  the  corpse  to Jo seph. 46 Af ter  he  bought 
 some lin en  cloth, Jo seph  took  him  down  and 
 wrapped  him  in  the lin en. Then  he  laid  him  in 
 a  tomb  cut  out  of  the  rock  and  rolled  a  stone

THE FIRST DISCIPLES
5 
 As  the  crowd  was press ing  in  on  Jesus  to 
 hear  God’s  word,  he  was stand ing  by  Lake 
Gen nes a ret. 2  He  saw  two  boats  at  the  edge 
 of  the  lake;  the fish er men  had  left  them  and 
 were wash ing  their  nets. 3  He  got  into  one  of 
 the  boats,  which be longed  to Si mon,  and  asked 
 him  to  put  out  a lit tle  from  the  land. Then  he 
 sat  down  and  was teach ing  the  crowds  from 
 the  boat. 4  When  he  had fin ished speak ing,  he  said  to 
Si mon, “ Put  out  into  deep wa ter  and  let  down 
 your  nets  for  a  catch.”
5 “Mas ter,” Si mon re plied, “ we’ve  worked 
 hard  all  night  long  and  caught noth ing. But 
 if  you  say  so,  I’ll  let  down  the  nets.” b
6  When  they  did  this,  they  caught  a  great 
num ber  of  fish,  and  their  nets b be gan  to  tear. 7  So  they sig naled  to  their part ners  in  the oth er 
 boat  to  come  and  help  them;  they  came  and 
 filled  both  boats  so  full  that  they be gan  to  sink. 8  When Si mon Pe ter  saw  this,  he  fell  at  Jesus’s 
 knees  and  said, “ Go  away  from  me, be cause 
 I’m  a sin ful  man,  Lord! ” 9  For  he  and  all  those 
 with  him  were  amazed  at  the  catch  of  fish  they 
 had tak en, 10  and  so  were  James  and  John, 
Zeb e dee’s  sons,  who  were Si mon’s part ners. “ Don’t  be  afraid,”  Jesus  told Si mon. “ From 
 now  on  you  will  be catching peo ple.” 11  Then 
 they  brought  the  boats  to  land,  left ev ery thing, 
 and fol lowed  him. A MAN CLEANSED
12  While  he  was  in  one  of  the  towns,  a  man  was 
 there  who  had lep ro sy c  all  over  him. He  saw 
 Jesus,  fell face down,  and  begged  him: “ Lord, 
 if  you  are will ing,  you  can  make  me  clean.”
13 Reach ing  out  his  hand,  Jesus  touched 
 him, say ing, “ I  am will ing;  be  made  clean,” 
 and im me di ate ly  the lep ro sy  left  him. 14  Then 
 he or dered  him  to  tell  no  one: “ But  go  and 
 show your self  to  the  priest,  and off  er  what 
Mo ses com mand ed  for  your cleans ing  as  a 
tes ti mo ny  to  them.”
15  But  the  news d  about  him  spread  even  more, 
 and  large  crowds  would  come to geth er  to 
 hear  him  and  to  be  healed  of  their sick ness es. 16  Yet  he of ten with drew  to de sert ed plac es

THE CALL OF LEVI
27 Af ter  this,  Jesus  went  out  and  saw  a  tax 
col lec tor  named  Levi sit ting  at  the  tax off  ice, 
 and  he  said  to  him, “Fol low  me.” 28  So, leav ing 
ev ery thing be hind,  he  got  up  and be gan  to 
fol low  him. 29  Then  Levi hosted  a grand ban quet  for  him 
 at  his  house. Now  there  was  a  large  crowd  of 
 tax col lec tors  and oth ers  who  were  guests a 
 with  them. 30  But  the Phar i sees  and  their 
 scribes  were com plain ing  to  his dis ci ples, 
“ Why  do  you  eat  and  drink  with  tax col lec tors 
 and sin ners? ”
31  Jesus re plied  to  them, “ It  is  not  those  who 
 are  healthy  who  need  a doc tor,  but  those  who 
 are  sick. 32  I  have  not  come  to  call  the righ teous, 
 but sin ners  to re pen tance.”
A QUESTION ABOUT FASTING
33  Then  they  said  to  him, “ John’s dis ci ples  fast 
of ten  and  say  prayers,  and  those  of  the Phar-
i sees  do  the  same,  but  yours  eat  and  drink.” b
34  Jesus  said  to  them, “ You  can’t  make  the 
wed ding  guests  fast  while  the groom  is  with 
 them,  can  you? 35  But  the  time c  will  come 
 when  the groom  will  be tak en  away  from 
 them  —   then  they  will  fast  in  those  days.”
36  He  also  told  them  a par a ble: “ No  one  tears 
 a  patch  from  a  new gar ment  and  puts  it  on 
 an  old gar ment. Oth er wise,  not  only  will  he 
 tear  the  new ,  but  also  the  piece  from  the  new 
gar ment  will  not  match  the  old. 37  And  no  one 
 puts  new  wine  into  old wine skins. Oth er wise, 
 the  new  wine  will  burst  the  skins,  it  will spill, 
 and  the  skins  will  be ru ined. 38  No,  new  wine 
 is  put  into  fresh wine skins. d 39  And  no  one, 
af ter drink ing  old  wine,  wants  new , be cause 
 he  says, ‘ The  old  is bet ter.’ ” e

2  But  some  of  the Phar i sees  said, 
“ Why  are  you do ing  what  is  not law ful  on  the 
Sab bath? ”
3  Jesus an swered  them, “ Haven’t  you  read 
 what Da vid  and  those  who  were  with  him  did 
 when  he  was hun gry — 4  how  he en tered  the 
 house  of  God  and  took  and  ate  the  bread  of 
 the Pres ence,  which  is  not law ful  for  any  but 
 the  priests  to  eat? He  even  gave  some  to  those 
 who  were  with  him.” 5  Then  he  told  them, “ The 
 Son  of  Man  is  Lord  of  the Sab bath.”
6  On an oth er Sab bath  he en tered  the syn-
a gogue  and  was teach ing. A  man  was  there 
 whose  right  hand  was shriv eled. 7  The  scribes 
 and Phar i sees  were watch ing  him close ly ,  to 
 see  if  he  would  heal  on  the Sab bath,  so  that 
 they  could  find  a  charge  against  him. 8  But  he 
 knew  their  thoughts  and  told  the  man  with 
 the shriv eled  hand, “ Get  up  and  stand  here.” f 
 So  he  got  up  and  stood  there. 9  Then  Jesus  said 
 to  them, “ I  ask  you:  Is  it law ful  to  do  good  on 
 the Sab bath  or  to  do  evil,  to  save  life  or  to de-
stroy  it? ” 10 Af ter look ing  around  at  them  all, 
 he  told  him, “ Stretch  out  your  hand.”  He  did, 
 and  his  hand  was re stored. g 11  They , how ev er, 
 were  filled  with  rage  and start ed dis cuss ing 
 with  one an oth er  what  they  might  do  to  Jesus. THE TWELVE APOSTLES
12 Dur ing  those  days  he  went  out  to  the moun-
tain  to  pray  and  spent  all  night  in  prayer  to 
 God. 13  When day light  came,  he sum moned  his 
dis ci ples,  and  he  chose  twelve  of  them,  whom 
 he  also  named apos tles: 14 Si mon,  whom  he 
 also  named Pe ter,  and An drew  his broth er; 
 James  and  John; Phil ip  and Bar thol o mew; 
15 Mat thew  and Thom as;  James  the  son  of Al-
phae us,  and Si mon  called  the Zeal ot; 16 Ju das 
 the  son  of  James,  and Ju das Is car i ot,  who be-
came  a trai tor. TEACHING AND HEALING
17 Af ter com ing  down  with  them,  he  stood  on 
 a lev el  place  with  a  large  crowd  of  his dis ci-
ples  and  a  great num ber  of peo ple  from  all 
Ju dea  and Je ru sa lem  and  from  the seacoast

be cause pow er  was com ing  out  from  him  and 
heal ing  them  all. THE BEATITUDES
20  Then look ing  up  at  his dis ci ples,  he  said:

 those  who  have  heard  and  then  the dev il  comes

 hear, re ceive  the  word  with  joy . Hav ing  no  root, 
 these be lieve  for  a  while  and  fall  away  in  a  time  of 
test ing. 14  As  for  the  seed  that  fell  among  thorns, 
 these  are  the  ones  who,  when  they  have  heard, 
 go  on  their  way  and  are  choked  with wor ries, 
rich es,  and plea sures  of  life,  and pro duce  no

 to  it  and  by en dur ing, pro duce  fruit. USING YOUR LIGHT
