<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;But in those days, after that suffering,<n id="1" /> <i>the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light;i>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the experts in the law<n id="1" /> were trying to find a way<n id="2" /> to arrest Jesus<n id="3" /> by stealth and kill him.

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.&#8221;p>

So<n id="1" /> the disciples left, went<n id="2" /> into the city, and found things just as he had told them,<n id="3" /> and they prepared the Passover.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to them, and said, &#8220;Take it. This is my body.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> they went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus<n id="2" /> said to his disciples, &#8220;Sit here while I pray.&#8221;

He said, &#8220;Abba,<n id="1" /> Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup<n id="2" /> away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.&#8221;

One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest&#8217;s slave,<n id="1" /> cutting off his ear.

But he denied it:<n id="1" /> &#8220;I don&#8217;t even understand what you&#8217;re talking about!&#8221;<n id="2" /> Then<n id="3" /> he went out to the gateway, and a rooster crowed.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Early in the morning, after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law<n id="1" /> and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.<n id="2" />

Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them. Then,<n id="1" /> after he had Jesus flogged,<n id="2" /> he handed him over<n id="3" /> to be crucified.p>

Then<n id="1" /> as they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe<n id="2" /> sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

He came a third time and said to them, &#8220;Are you still sleeping and resting?<n id="1" /> Enough of that!<n id="2" /> The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

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;

And they began making fun of him.<n id="1" /> But he put them all outside<n id="2" /> and he took the child&#8217;s father and mother and his own companions<n id="3" /> and went into the room where the child was.<n id="4" />

<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;

He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

<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;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> they came to Jerusalem.<n id="2" /> Jesus<n id="3" /> entered the temple area<n id="4" /> and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple courts.<n id="5" /> He turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,
