Jesus answered, &#8220;The most important is: &#8216;<i><b>Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is oneb>.i>

The expert in the law said to him, &#8220;That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that <b><i>he is one, and there is no one else besides himi>b>.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, &#8220;How is it that the experts in the law<n id="1" /> say that the Christ<n id="2" /> is David&#8217;s son?<n id="3" />

While they were at the table<n id="1" /> eating, Jesus said, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> one of you eating with me will betray me.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Jesus said to him, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> today &#8211; this very night &#8211; before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.&#8221;

Now when the centurion,<n id="1" /> who stood in front of him, saw how he died,<n id="2" /> he said, &#8220;Truly this man was God&#8217;s Son!&#8221;

But go, tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.&#8221;

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> if someone says to this mountain, &#8216;Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,&#8217; and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

So<n id="1" /> he healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons.<n id="2" /> But<n id="3" /> he would not permit the demons to speak,<n id="4" /> because they knew him.<n id="5" />p>

When Jesus heard this he said to them, &#8220;Those who are healthy don&#8217;t need a physician, but those who are sick do.<n id="1" /> I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.&#8221;p>

But<n id="1" /> he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, &#8220;Teacher, don&#8217;t you care that we are about to die?&#8221;

Then<n id="1" /> Jesus said to them, &#8220;A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own house.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> King Herod<n id="2" /> heard this, for Jesus&#8217;<n id="3" /> name had become known. Some<n id="4" /> were saying, &#8220;John the baptizer<n id="5" /> has been raised from the dead, and because of this, miraculous powers are at work in him.&#8221;

For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip&#8217;s wife, because Herod<n id="1" /> had married her.

He said to them, &#8220;Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>This people honors me with their lips,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>but their hearti>b><n id="1" /> <i><b>is far from meb>.i>p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer<n id="3" /> many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law,<n id="4" /> and be killed, and after three days rise again.

But after turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, &#8220;Get behind me, Satan. You are not setting your mind on God&#8217;s interests, but on man&#8217;s.&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

And he said to them, &#8220;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 kingdom of God come with power.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked<n id="1" /> the unclean spirit,<n id="2" /> saying to it, &#8220;Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.&#8221;

for he was teaching his disciples and telling them, &#8220;The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.<n id="1" /> They<n id="2" /> will kill him,<n id="3" /> and after three days he will rise.&#8221;<n id="4" />
