Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.

When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?” They all condemned him as deserving death.

When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.”

So Pilate asked him again, “Have you nothing to say? See how many charges they are bringing against you!”

Pilate asked them, “Why? What has he done wrong?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”

So the soldiers led him into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort.

Then they crucified him and divided his clothes, throwing dice for them, to decide what each would take.

Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. He called the centurion and asked him if he had been dead for some time.

And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed.

Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheat as they made their way.

Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan River, and around Tyre and Sidon a great multitude came to him when they heard about the things he had done.

And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.”

And looking at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!

These are the ones sown on rocky ground: As soon as they hear the word, they receive it with joy.

So after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat, and other boats were with him.

When Jesus had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he was by the sea.

He asked him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Come and lay your hands on her so that she may be healed and live.”
