Two<n id="1" /> blind men were sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Have mercy<n id="3" /> on us, Lord, Son of David!&#8221;<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when they approached Jerusalem<n id="2" /> and came to Bethphage,<n id="3" /> at the Mount of Olives,<n id="4" /> Jesus sent two disciples,

Jesus<n id="1" /> answered them, &#8220;You are deceived,<n id="2" /> because you don&#8217;t know the scriptures or the power of God.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings.<n id="2" />

When<n id="1" /> Jesus learned of this, he said to them, &#8220;Why are you bothering this woman? She<n id="2" /> has done a good service for me.

Jesus said to him, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, &#8220;Sit here while I go over there and pray.&#8221;

Jesus<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8220;Friend, do what you are here to do.&#8221; Then they came and took hold<n id="2" /> of Jesus and arrested him.

Then Jesus said to him, &#8220;Put your sword back in its place!<n id="1" /> For all who take hold of the sword will die by the sword.

Above<n id="1" /> his head they put the charge against him,<n id="2" /> which read:<n id="3" /> &#8220;This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.&#8221;

But<n id="1" /> Jesus met them, saying, &#8220;Greetings!&#8221; They<n id="2" /> came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.

Then Jesus said to them, &#8220;Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.&#8221;p>

Then Jesus came up and said to them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

After<n id="1" /> Jesus was baptized, just as he was coming up out of the water, the<n id="2" /> heavens<n id="3" /> opened<n id="4" /> and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove<n id="5" /> and coming on him.

Then Jesus said to him, &#8220;See that you do not speak to anyone,<n id="1" /> but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering<n id="2" /> that Moses commanded,<n id="3" /> as a testimony to them.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

Jesus said to him, &#8220;Foxes have dens, and the birds in the sky<n id="1" /> have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.&#8221;<n id="2" />

Just then<n id="1" /> some people<n id="2" /> brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher.<n id="3" /> When Jesus saw their<n id="4" /> faith, he said to the paralytic, &#8220;Have courage, son! Your sins are forgiven.&#8221;<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth.<n id="1" /> &#8220;Follow me,&#8221; he said to him. And he got up and followed him.

Jesus said to them, &#8220;The wedding guests<n id="1" /> cannot mourn while the bridegroom<n id="2" /> is with them, can they? But the days<n id="3" /> are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them,<n id="4" /> and then they will fast.

But when Jesus turned and saw her he said, &#8220;Have courage, daughter! Your faith has made you well.&#8221;<n id="1" /> And the woman was healed<n id="2" /> from that hour.
