In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God.

So they seized him, killed him, and threw his body out of the vineyard.

Jesus began to say to them, “Watch out that no one misleads you.

Watch out! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time will come.

Peter said to him, “Even if they all fall away, I will not!”

He went away again and prayed the same thing.

Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer is approaching!”

Many gave false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree.

Then the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was his custom.

(For he knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.)

They began to salute him: “Hail, king of the Jews!”

They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha (which is translated, “Place of the Skull”).

When some of the bystanders heard it they said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah!”

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.

She went out and told those who were with him, while they were mourning and weeping.

They went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

They were all amazed so that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.”

He told him, “See that you do not say anything to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

But as the man went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still they kept coming to him from everywhere.
