What<n id="1" /> did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy<n id="2" /> clothes?<n id="3" /> Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxury<n id="4" /> are in kings&#8217; courts!<n id="5" />

So<n id="1" /> Jesus answered him,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Simon, I have something to say to you.&#8221; He replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Say it, Teacher.&#8221;

Jesus then<n id="1" /> asked him, &#8220;What is your name?&#8221; He<n id="2" /> said, &#8220;Legion,&#8221;<n id="3" /> because many demons had entered him.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> an expert in religious law<n id="2" /> stood up to test Jesus,<n id="3" /> saying, &#8220;Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?&#8221;<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I<n id="1" /> tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body,<n id="2" /> and after that have nothing more they can do.

Why then didn&#8217;t you put<n id="1" /> my money in the bank,<n id="2" /> so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?&#8217;

So<n id="1" /> they discussed it with one another, saying, &#8220;If we say, &#8216;From heaven,&#8217; he will say, &#8216;Why did you not believe him?&#8217;

Then<n id="1" /> the owner of the vineyard said, &#8216;What should I do? I will send my one dear son;<n id="2" /> perhaps they will respect him.&#8217;

So<n id="1" /> they asked him,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Teacher, when will these things<n id="3" /> happen? And what will be the sign that<n id="4" /> these things are about to take place?&#8221;

A third time he said to them, &#8220;Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty<n id="1" /> of no crime deserving death.<n id="2" /> I will therefore flog<n id="3" /> him and release him.&#8221;

[But Jesus said, &#8220;Father, forgive them, for they don&#8217;t know what they are doing.&#8221;]<n id="1" /> Then<n id="2" /> <i>they threw dicei><n id="3" /> <i>to divide his clothesi>.<n id="4" />

The<n id="1" /> women<n id="2" /> were terribly frightened<n id="3" /> and bowed<n id="4" /> their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, &#8220;Why do you look for the living<n id="5" /> among the dead?

<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" />

All<n id="1" /> who heard these things<n id="2" /> kept them in their hearts,<n id="3" /> saying, &#8220;What then will this child be?&#8221;<n id="4" /> For the Lord&#8217;s hand<n id="5" /> was indeed with him.p>

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" />

Then some soldiers<n id="1" /> also asked him, &#8220;And as for us &#8211; what should we do?&#8221;<n id="2" /> He told them, &#8220;Take money from no one by violence<n id="3" /> or by false accusation,<n id="4" /> and be content with your pay.&#8221;p>

When he saw<n id="1" /> Jesus, he cried out, fell<n id="2" /> down before him, and shouted with a loud voice, &#8220;Leave me alone,<n id="3" /> Jesus, Son of the Most High<n id="4" /> God! I beg you, do not torment<n id="5" /> me!&#8221;

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" />

If<n id="1" /> then<n id="2" /> your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark,<n id="3" /> it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

So<n id="1" /> he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, &#8216;For<n id="2" /> three years<n id="3" /> now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it<n id="4" /> I find none. Cut<n id="5" /> it down! Why<n id="6" /> should it continue to deplete<n id="7" /> the soil?&#8217;
