<p class="bodytext">One of the experts in religious law<n id="1" /> answered him, &#8220;Teacher, when you say these things you insult<n id="2" /> us too.&#8221;

Woe to you! You build<n id="1" /> the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors<n id="2" /> killed.

so that this generation may be held accountable<n id="1" /> for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning<n id="2" /> of the world,<n id="3" />

Then<n id="1" /> you will be blessed,<n id="2" /> because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid<n id="3" /> at the resurrection of the righteous.&#8221;p>

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God&#8217;s angels<n id="1" /> over one sinner who repents.&#8221;p>

He<n id="1" /> was longing to eat<n id="2" /> the carob pods<n id="3" /> the pigs were eating, but<n id="4" /> no one gave him anything.

I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me<n id="1" /> like one of your hired workers.&#8221;&#8217;

But<n id="1" /> some of the Pharisees<n id="2" /> in the crowd said to him, &#8220;Teacher, rebuke your disciples.&#8221;<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now some Sadducees<n id="1" /> (who contend that there is no resurrection)<n id="2" /> came to him.

They<n id="1" /> devour<n id="2" /> widows&#8217; property,<n id="3" /> and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Satan<n id="2" /> entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, &#8220;Aren&#8217;t<n id="1" /> you the Christ?<n id="2" /> Save yourself and us!&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now on the first day<n id="1" /> of the week, at early dawn, the women<n id="2" /> went to the tomb, taking the aromatic spices<n id="3" /> they had prepared.

Then<n id="1" /> beginning with Moses and all the prophets,<n id="2" /> he interpreted to them the things written about<n id="3" /> himself in all the scriptures.p>

After<n id="1" /> three days<n id="2" /> they found him in the temple courts,<n id="3" /> sitting among the teachers,<n id="4" /> listening to them and asking them questions.

Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees,<n id="1" /> and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be<n id="2" /> cut down and thrown into the fire.&#8221;p>

But the news about him spread even more,<n id="1" /> and large crowds were gathering together to hear him<n id="2" /> and to be healed of their illnesses.

But<n id="1" /> the Pharisees<n id="2" /> and their experts in the law<n id="3" /> complained<n id="4" /> to his disciples, saying, &#8220;Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?&#8221;<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice<n id="1" /> &#8211; I will show you what he is like:

When the centurion<n id="1" /> heard<n id="2" /> about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders<n id="3" /> to him, asking him to come<n id="4" /> and heal his slave.
