&#8220;Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and experts in the law.<n id="1" /> They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles.

Now as for the dead being raised,<n id="1" /> have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush,<n id="2" /> how God said to him, &#8216;<b><i>I am the God of Abraham, thei>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>God of Isaac, and the God of Jacobi>b>&#8217;?<n id="4" />

David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said,p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>The Lord said to my lord,i>b><n id="1" />p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<b><i>Sit at my right hand,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>until I put your enemies under your feetb>.i>&#8221;&#8217;<n id="2" />p>

He called his disciples and said to them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> this poor widow has put more into the offering box<n id="2" /> than all the others.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

It is like a man going on a journey. He left his house and put his slaves<n id="1" /> in charge, assigning<n id="2" /> to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> on the first day of the feast of<n id="2" /> Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed,<n id="3" /> Jesus&#8217;<n id="4" /> disciples said to him, &#8220;Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?&#8221;<n id="5" />

Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, &#8216;The Teacher says, &#8220;Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?&#8221;&#8217;

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> I will no longer drink of the fruit<n id="2" /> of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Right away, while Jesus<n id="1" /> was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived.<n id="2" /> With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law<n id="3" /> and elders.

And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest&#8217;s courtyard. He<n id="1" /> was sitting with the guards<n id="2" /> and warming himself by the fire.

But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Are you the Christ,<n id="2" /> the Son of the Blessed One?&#8221;

Joseph of Arimathea, a highly regarded member of the council,<n id="1" /> who was himself looking forward to<n id="2" /> the kingdom of God,<n id="3" /> went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.<n id="4" />

He came a third time and said to them, &#8220;Are you still sleeping and resting?<n id="1" /> Enough of that!<n id="2" /> The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

He proclaimed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy<n id="2" /> to bend down and untie the strap<n id="3" /> of his sandals.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> in those days Jesus came from Nazareth<n id="2" /> in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.<n id="3" />

And just as Jesus<n id="1" /> was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens<n id="2" /> splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.<n id="3" />

Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.p>

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

Now<n id="1" /> immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts,<n id="2" /> he said to them, &#8220;Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?<n id="3" />
