So<n id="1" /> the dead man<n id="2" /> sat up and began to speak, and Jesus<n id="3" /> gave him back<n id="4" /> to his mother.

When they could not pay, he canceled<n id="1" /> the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?&#8221;

<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:

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" />

Now by chance<n id="1" /> a priest was going down that road, but<n id="2" /> when he saw the injured man<n id="3" /> he passed by<n id="4" /> on the other side.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">As he spoke,<n id="1" /> a Pharisee<n id="2" /> invited Jesus<n id="3" /> to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">When he went out from there, the experts in the law<n id="1" /> and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly,<n id="2" /> and to ask him hostile questions<n id="3" /> about many things,

But the older son<n id="1" /> became angry<n id="2" /> and refused<n id="3" /> to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,

So<n id="1" /> the rich man<n id="2" /> said, &#8216;Then I beg you, father &#8211; send Lazarus<n id="3" /> to my father&#8217;s house

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> a certain ruler<n id="2" /> asked him, &#8220;Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?&#8221;<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> approached<n id="3" /> Jericho,<n id="4" /> a blind man was sitting by the road begging.

So<n id="1" /> he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree<n id="2" /> to see him, because Jesus<n id="3" /> was going to pass that way.

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" />

So<n id="1" /> they threw him out of the vineyard and killed<n id="2" /> him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces,<n id="1" /> and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.&#8221;<n id="2" />

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

The<n id="1" /> chief priests and the experts in the law<n id="2" /> were trying to find some way<n id="3" /> to execute<n id="4" /> Jesus,<n id="5" /> for they were afraid of the people.<n id="6" />p>

He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard<n id="1" /> how he might<n id="2" /> betray Jesus,<n id="3" /> handing him over to them.<n id="4" />

When<n id="1" /> those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, &#8220;Lord, should<n id="2" /> we use our swords?&#8221;<n id="3" />
