<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I am the Alpha and the Omega,&#8221;<n id="1" /> says the Lord God &#8211; the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come &#8211; the All-Powerful!<n id="2" />p>

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread<n id="1" /> that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.&#8221;p>

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me?<n id="1" /> The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative,<n id="2" /> but the Father residing in me performs<n id="3" /> his miraculous deeds.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I baptize you with water, for repentance, but the one coming after me is more powerful than I am &#8211; I am not worthy<n id="1" /> to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.<n id="2" />

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.p>

For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me.<n id="1" /> I say to this one, &#8216;Go&#8217; and he goes,<n id="2" /> and to another &#8216;Come&#8217; and he comes, and to my slave<n id="3" /> &#8216;Do this&#8217; and he does it.&#8221;<n id="4" />

This is the one about whom it is written:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,i>b><n id="1" />p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>who will prepare your way before youb>.i>&#8217;<n id="2" />p>

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered, &#8220;You don&#8217;t know what you are asking!<n id="2" /> Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?&#8221;<n id="3" /> They said to him, &#8220;We are able.&#8221;<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;For this reason I<n id="1" /> am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law,<n id="2" /> some of whom you will kill and crucify,<n id="3" /> and some you will flog<n id="4" /> in your synagogues<n id="5" /> and pursue from town to town,

Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed,<n id="1" /> &#8220;My Father, if possible,<n id="2" /> let this cup<n id="3" /> pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked<n id="1" /> the unclean spirit,<n id="2" /> saying to it, &#8220;Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.&#8221;

So<n id="1" /> they answered Jesus,<n id="2" /> &#8220;We don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<n id="3" /> Then Jesus said to them, &#8220;Neither will I tell you<n id="4" /> by what authority<n id="5" /> I am doing these things.&#8221;p>

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" />

&#8220;I am,&#8221; said Jesus, &#8220;and you will see <i>the Son of Man sitting at the right handi><n id="1" /> of the Power<n id="2" /> and <i>coming with the clouds of heaveni>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

<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.

When<n id="1" /> his parents<n id="2" /> saw him, they were overwhelmed. His<n id="3" /> mother said to him, &#8220;Child,<n id="4" /> why have you treated<n id="5" /> us like this? Look, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.&#8221;<n id="6" />

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me.<n id="1" /> I say to this one, &#8216;Go,&#8217; and he goes,<n id="2" /> and to another, &#8216;Come,&#8217; and he comes, and to my slave, &#8216;Do this,&#8217; and he does it.&#8221;<n id="3" />

The<n id="1" /> next day he took out two silver coins<n id="2" /> and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, &#8216;Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.&#8217;<n id="3" />
