<p class="poetry">that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples:<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">that we should be saved<n id="1" /> from our enemies,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and from the hand of all who hate us.p>

He<n id="1" /> began to teach<n id="2" /> in their synagogues<n id="3" /> and was praised<n id="4" /> by all.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">John&#8217;s<n id="1" /> disciples informed him about all these things. So<n id="2" /> John called<n id="3" /> two of his disciples

But wisdom is vindicated<n id="1" /> by all her children.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

You will be hated by everyone because of my name.<n id="1" />

They<n id="1" /> were talking to each other about all the things that had happened.

so that this generation may be held accountable<n id="1" /> for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning<n id="2" /> of the world,<n id="3" />

He<n id="1" /> said, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> this poor widow has put in more than all of them.<n id="3" />

Then<n id="1" /> beginning with Moses and all the prophets,<n id="2" /> he interpreted to them the things written about<n id="3" /> himself in all the scriptures.p>

<p class="bodytext">While the people were filled with anticipation<n id="1" /> and they all wondered<n id="2" /> whether perhaps John<n id="3" /> could be the Christ,<n id="4" />

But when John rebuked Herod<n id="1" /> the tetrarch<n id="2" /> because of Herodias, his brother&#8217;s wife,<n id="3" /> and because of all the evil deeds<n id="4" /> that he had done,

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he rolled up<n id="2" /> the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on<n id="3" /> him.

Then<n id="1" /> they were all astonished at the mighty power<n id="2" /> of God.p><t /><p class="bodytext">But while the entire crowd<n id="3" /> was amazed at everything Jesus<n id="4" /> was doing, he said to his disciples,

Then<n id="1" /> Jesus asked,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Who was it who touched me?&#8221; When they all denied it, Peter<n id="3" /> said, &#8220;Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing<n id="4" /> against you!&#8221;

But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host<n id="1" /> approaches he will say to you, &#8216;Friend, move up here to a better place.&#8217;<n id="2" /> Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.

But before all this,<n id="1" /> they will seize<n id="2" /> you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues<n id="3" /> and prisons. You<n id="4" /> will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.
