<t /><p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> Jesus came to the area of Caesarea Philippi,<n id="2" /> he asked his disciples,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Who do people say that the Son of Man is?&#8221;

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then <i>he will reward each person according to what he has donei>.<n id="1" />

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> there are some standing here who will not<n id="2" /> experience<n id="3" /> death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

While he was still speaking, a<n id="1" /> bright cloud<n id="2" /> overshadowed<n id="3" /> them, and a voice from the cloud said,<n id="4" /> &#8220;This is my one dear Son,<n id="5" /> in whom I take great delight. Listen to him!&#8221;<n id="6" />

<p class="bodytext">As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.&#8221;

And I tell you that Elijah has already come. Yet they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In<n id="1" /> the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.&#8221;

He said to her, &#8220;What do you want?&#8221; She replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Permit<n id="2" /> these two sons of mine to sit, one at your<n id="3" /> right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.&#8221;

The crowds that went ahead of him and those following kept shouting,<n id="1" /> &#8220;<i>Hosannai><n id="2" /> to the Son of David! <b><i>Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!i>b><n id="3" /> <i>Hosannai> in the highest!&#8221;

But when the chief priests and the experts in the law<n id="1" /> saw the wonderful things he did and heard the children crying out in the temple courts,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Hosanna to the Son of David,&#8221; they became indignant

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, &#8216;This is the heir. Come, let&#8217;s kill him and get his inheritance!&#8217;

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Woe to you, experts in the law<n id="1" /> and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You cross land and sea to make one convert,<n id="2" /> and when you get one,<n id="3" /> you make him twice as much a child of hell<n id="4" /> as yourselves!p>

so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah,<n id="1" /> whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Then he came to the disciples and said to them, &#8220;Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is approaching, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

But Jesus was silent. The<n id="1" /> high priest said to him, &#8220;I charge you under oath by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ,<n id="2" /> the Son of God.&#8221;

Jesus said to him, &#8220;You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man <i>sitting at the right handi><n id="1" /> of the Power<n id="2" /> and <i>coming on the clouds of heaveni>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Then what was spoken by Jeremiah<n id="1" /> the prophet was fulfilled: &#8220;<i>They took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one whose price had been set by the people of Israeli>,<n id="2" />

and saying, &#8220;You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!<n id="1" /> If you are God&#8217;s Son, come down<n id="2" /> from the cross!&#8221;

Now when the centurion<n id="1" /> and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, &#8220;Truly this one was God&#8217;s Son!&#8221;

When he had contemplated this, an<n id="1" /> angel of the Lord<n id="2" /> appeared to him in a dream and said, &#8220;Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

He said, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; When Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first,<n id="1" /> &#8220;What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect tolls or taxes &#8211; from their sons<n id="2" /> or from foreigners?&#8221;
