But<n id="1" /> they said to him, &#8216;Sir, he has ten minas already!&#8217;<n id="2" />

They also said many other things against him, reviling<n id="1" /> him.p>

<p class="bodytext">One of the experts in religious law<n id="1" /> answered him, &#8220;Teacher, when you say these things you insult<n id="2" /> us too.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> when Jesus<n id="2" /> noticed how the guests<n id="3" /> chose the places of honor,<n id="4" /> he told them a parable. He said to them,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Jesus<n id="1" /> also said to the crowds, &#8220;When you see a cloud rising in the west,<n id="2" /> you say at once, &#8216;A rainstorm<n id="3" /> is coming,&#8217; and it does.

So<n id="1" /> they all said, &#8220;Are you the Son of God,<n id="2" /> then?&#8221; He answered<n id="3" /> them, &#8220;You say<n id="4" /> that I am.&#8221;

So<n id="1" /> Pilate asked Jesus,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Are you the king<n id="3" /> of the Jews?&#8221; He replied, &#8220;You say so.&#8221;<n id="4" />

and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels,<n id="1" /> who said he was alive.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">So<n id="1" /> the crowds were asking<n id="2" /> him, &#8220;What then should we do?&#8221;

Tax collectors<n id="1" /> also came to be baptized, and they said to him, &#8220;Teacher, what should we do?&#8221;

Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;The Son of Man is lord<n id="2" /> of the Sabbath.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Why<n id="1" /> do you call me &#8216;Lord, Lord,&#8217;<n id="2" /> and don&#8217;t do what I tell you?<n id="3" />p>

What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more<n id="1" /> than a prophet.

But Jesus<n id="1" /> gently took her by the hand and said,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Child, get up.&#8221;

But he forcefully commanded<n id="1" /> them not to tell this to anyone,<n id="2" />

Whenever<n id="1" /> you enter a house,<n id="2" /> first say, &#8216;May peace<n id="3" /> be on this house!&#8217;

He then<n id="1" /> told them a parable:<n id="2" /> &#8220;The land of a certain rich man produced<n id="3" /> an abundant crop,

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> the master<n id="2" /> will put him in charge of all his possessions.

And when you see the south wind<n id="1" /> blowing, you say, &#8216;There will be scorching heat,&#8217; and there is.
