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

Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

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

So the disciples left, went into the city, and found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it. This is my body.”

Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his ear.

But he denied it: “I don’t even understand what you’re talking about!” Then he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.

And they began making fun of him. But he put them all outside and he took the child’s father and mother and his own companions and went into the room where the child was.

Now King Herod heard this, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some were saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead, and because of this, miraculous powers are at work in him.”

He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

Then they came to Jerusalem. Jesus entered the temple area and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple courts. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,
