So<n id="1" /> he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home<n id="2" /> his father saw him, and his heart went out to him;<n id="3" /> he ran and hugged<n id="4" /> his son<n id="5" /> and kissed him.

telling them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Go to the village ahead of you.<n id="2" /> When<n id="3" /> you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden.<n id="4" /> Untie it and bring it here.

They will demolish you<n id="1" /> &#8211; you and your children within your walls<n id="2" /> &#8211; and they will not leave within you one stone<n id="3" /> on top of another,<n id="4" /> because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.&#8221;<n id="5" />p>

Then<n id="1" /> the experts in the law<n id="2" /> and the chief priests wanted to arrest<n id="3" /> him that very hour, because they realized he had told this parable against them. But<n id="4" /> they were afraid of the people.p>

Thus<n id="1" /> they asked him, &#8220;Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly,<n id="2" /> and show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.<n id="3" />

Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts,<n id="1" /> you did not arrest me.<n id="2" /> But this is your hour,<n id="3" /> and that of the power<n id="4" /> of darkness!&#8221;p>

And look, I am sending you<n id="1" /> what my Father promised.<n id="2" /> But stay in the city<n id="3" /> until you have been clothed with power<n id="4" /> from on high.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">While<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> was in one of the towns,<n id="3" /> a man came<n id="4" /> to him who was covered with<n id="5" /> leprosy.<n id="6" /> When<n id="7" /> he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground<n id="8" /> and begged him,<n id="9" /> &#8220;Lord, if<n id="10" /> you are willing, you can make me clean.&#8221;

But so that you may know<n id="1" /> that the Son of Man<n id="2" /> has authority on earth to forgive sins&#8221; &#8211; he said to the paralyzed man<n id="3" /> &#8211; &#8220;I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher<n id="4" /> and go home.&#8221;<n id="5" />

He also told them a parable:<n id="1" /> &#8220;No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews<n id="2" /> it on an old garment. If he does, he will have torn<n id="3" /> the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he came down with them and stood on a level place.<n id="2" /> And a large number<n id="3" /> of his disciples had gathered<n id="4" /> along with<n id="5" /> a vast multitude from all over Judea, from<n id="6" /> Jerusalem,<n id="7" /> and from the seacoast of Tyre<n id="8" /> and Sidon.<n id="9" /> They came to hear him and to be healed<n id="10" /> of their diseases,

and said to them, &#8220;Whoever welcomes<n id="1" /> this child<n id="2" /> in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me, for the one who is least among you all is the one who is great.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

As you are going with your accuser before the magistrate,<n id="1" /> make an effort to settle with him on the way, so that he will not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer,<n id="2" /> and the officer throw you into prison.
