But Jesus<n id="1" /> perceived their deceit<n id="2" /> and said to them,

<t /><p class="bodytext">But<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;How is it that they say that the Christ<n id="2" /> is David&#8217;s son?<n id="3" />

And all the people<n id="1" /> came to him early in the morning to listen to him in the temple courts.<n id="2" />p>

They<n id="1" /> were talking to each other about all the things that had happened.

When<n id="1" /> the men came to Jesus,<n id="2" /> they said, &#8220;John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,<n id="3" /> &#8216;Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?&#8217;&#8221;<n id="4" />

Besides all this,<n id="1" /> a great chasm<n id="2" /> has been fixed between us,<n id="3" /> so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.&#8217;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me<n id="2" /> in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms<n id="3" /> must be fulfilled.&#8221;

to a virgin engaged<n id="1" /> to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David,<n id="2" /> and the virgin&#8217;s name was Mary.

Mary<n id="1" /> said to the angel, &#8220;How will this be, since I have not had sexual relations with<n id="2" /> a man?&#8221;

<p class="poetry">as he promised<n id="1" /> to our ancestors,<n id="2" /> to Abraham and to his descendants<n id="3" /> forever.&#8221;p>

They<n id="1" /> said to her, &#8220;But<n id="2" /> none of your relatives bears this name.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Jesus answered him, &#8220;It is written, &#8216;<b><i>Mani>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>does not live by bread alonei>b>.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

Then<n id="1" /> he began to tell them, &#8220;Today<n id="2" /> this scripture has been fulfilled even as you heard it being read.&#8221;<n id="3" />

But they were filled with mindless rage<n id="1" /> and began debating with one another what they would do<n id="2" /> to Jesus.p>

That is why<n id="1" /> I did not presume<n id="2" /> to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed.<n id="3" />

He<n id="1" /> said to the woman, &#8220;Your faith<n id="2" /> has saved you;<n id="3" /> go in peace.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus<n id="1" /> from one town after another,<n id="2" /> he spoke to them<n id="3" /> in a parable:

(Now about five thousand men<n id="1" /> were there.)<n id="2" /> Then<n id="3" /> he said to his disciples, &#8220;Have<n id="4" /> them sit down in groups of about fifty each.&#8221;

But Jesus said to him, &#8220;Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> they were walking<n id="2" /> along the road, someone said to him, &#8220;I will follow you wherever you go.&#8221;<n id="3" />
