<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer<n id="3" /> many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law,<n id="4" /> and be killed, and after three days rise again.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> they came to Jerusalem.<n id="2" /> Jesus<n id="3" /> entered the temple area<n id="4" /> and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple courts.<n id="5" /> He turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he began to speak to them in parables: &#8220;A man planted a vineyard.<n id="2" /> He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Then<n id="3" /> he leased it to tenant farmers<n id="4" /> and went on a journey.

Then<n id="1" /> some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to strike him with their fists, saying, &#8220;Prophesy!&#8221; The guards also took him and beat<n id="2" /> him.p>

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue.<n id="1" /> Many who heard him were astonished, saying, &#8220;Where did he get these ideas?<n id="2" /> And what is this wisdom that has been given to him? What are these miracles that are done through his hands?

<t /><p class="bodytext">They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem.<n id="1" /> Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.
