So<n id="1" /> they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this.p>

For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table,<n id="1" /> or the one who serves? Is it not<n id="2" /> the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one<n id="3" /> who serves.p>

Then a slave girl,<n id="1" /> seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, &#8220;This man was with him too!&#8221;

and said, &#8220;If<n id="1" /> you are the Christ,<n id="2" /> tell us.&#8221; But he said to them, &#8220;If<n id="3" /> I tell you, you will not<n id="4" /> believe,

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" />

That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other,<n id="1" /> for prior to this they had been enemies.<n id="2" />p>

But the other rebuked him, saying,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Don&#8217;t<n id="2" /> you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Now when the centurion<n id="1" /> saw what had happened, he praised God and said, &#8220;Certainly this man was innocent!&#8221;<n id="2" />

(He<n id="1" /> had not consented<n id="2" /> to their plan and action.) He<n id="3" /> was from the Judean town<n id="4" /> of Arimathea, and was looking forward to<n id="5" /> the kingdom of God.<n id="6" />

Then<n id="1" /> he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth,<n id="2" /> and placed it<n id="3" /> in a tomb cut out of the rock,<n id="4" /> where no one had yet been buried.<n id="5" />

The<n id="1" /> women who had accompanied Jesus<n id="2" /> from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.

Now it was Mary Magdalene,<n id="1" /> Joanna,<n id="2" /> Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> that very day two of them<n id="2" /> were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles<n id="3" /> from Jerusalem.<n id="4" />

but they urged him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.&#8221; So<n id="2" /> he went in to stay with them.p>

They<n id="1" /> said to each other, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t<n id="2" /> our hearts<n id="3" /> burn within us<n id="4" /> while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining<n id="5" /> the scriptures to us?&#8221;

Then<n id="1" /> as the men<n id="2" /> were starting to leave,<n id="3" /> Peter said to Jesus, &#8220;Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters,<n id="4" /> one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah&#8221; &#8211; not knowing what he was saying.

All things have been given to me by my Father.<n id="1" /> No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides<n id="2" /> to reveal him.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Zechariah<n id="1" /> said to the angel, &#8220;How can I be sure of this?<n id="2" /> For I am an old man, and my wife is old as well.&#8221;<n id="3" />

The<n id="1" /> angel answered him, &#8220;I am Gabriel, who stands<n id="2" /> in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring<n id="3" /> you this good news.

And now,<n id="1" /> because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time,<n id="2" /> you will be silent, unable to speak,<n id="3" /> until the day these things take place.&#8221;p>
