“Tell the people of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

“What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’

The father went to the other son and said the same thing. This boy answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but did not go.

But the tenants seized his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

“Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

So then, if someone says to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe him.

then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee,

‘No,’ they replied. ‘There won’t be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

The one with the two talents also came and said, ‘Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.’

For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

When Jesus learned of this, he said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a good service for me.

I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.” And all the disciples said the same thing.

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?

and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support were also there, watching from a distance.

But Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.
