Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days!

Now some of the experts in the law were sitting there, turning these things over in their minds:

and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

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

Now immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts, he said to them, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?

In those days there was another large crowd with nothing to eat. So Jesus called his disciples and said to them,

In his teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces,

“But in those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light;

they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well.”

And wherever he would go – into villages, towns, or countryside – they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and would ask him if they could just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
