He went away a second time and prayed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;My Father, if this cup<n id="2" /> cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.&#8221;

At that moment Jesus said to the crowd, &#8220;Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw?<n id="1" /> Day after day I sat teaching in the temple courts, yet<n id="2" /> you did not arrest me.

As<n id="1" /> he was sitting on the judgment seat,<n id="2" /> his wife sent a message<n id="3" /> to him:<n id="4" /> &#8220;Have nothing to do with that innocent man;<n id="5" /> I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream<n id="6" /> about him today.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, &#8220;I am innocent of this man&#8217;s blood. You take care of it yourselves!&#8221;<n id="2" />

At<n id="1" /> about three o&#8217;clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice,<n id="2" /> &#8220;<i>Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?i>&#8221; that is, &#8220;<b><i>My God, my God, why have you forsaken mei>b>?&#8221;<n id="3" />

Now when the centurion<n id="1" /> and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, &#8220;Truly this one was God&#8217;s Son!&#8221;

When he had contemplated this, an<n id="1" /> angel of the Lord<n id="2" /> appeared to him in a dream and said, &#8220;Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore I tell you, do not worry<n id="1" /> about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn&#8217;t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?

But so that we don&#8217;t offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin.<n id="1" /> Take that and give it to them for me and you.&#8221;p>

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, &#8216;Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,&#8217; it will happen.
