Then<n id="1" /> he came and took the scroll<n id="2" /> from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne,

<p class="bodytext">As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.&#8221;

He said to her, &#8220;What do you want?&#8221; She replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Permit<n id="2" /> these two sons of mine to sit, one at your<n id="3" /> right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.&#8221;

He told them, &#8220;You will drink my cup,<n id="1" /> but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;For this reason I<n id="1" /> am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law,<n id="2" /> some of whom you will kill and crucify,<n id="3" /> and some you will flog<n id="4" /> in your synagogues<n id="5" /> and pursue from town to town,

<p class="bodytext">As they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

<t /><p class="bodytext">During the reign<n id="1" /> of Herod<n id="2" /> king of Judea, there lived a priest named Zechariah who belonged to<n id="3" /> the priestly division of Abijah,<n id="4" /> and he had a wife named Elizabeth,<n id="5" /> who was a descendant of Aaron.<n id="6" />

So<n id="1" /> Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth<n id="2" /> in Galilee to Judea, to the city<n id="3" /> of David called Bethlehem,<n id="4" /> because he was of the house<n id="5" /> and family line<n id="6" /> of David.

&#8220;Which one<n id="1" /> of you, if he has a hundred<n id="2" /> sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture<n id="3" /> and go look for<n id="4" /> the one that is lost until he finds it?<n id="5" />

For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth.<n id="1" /> But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

So he made a whip of cords<n id="1" /> and drove them all out of the temple courts,<n id="2" /> with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins of the money changers<n id="3" /> and overturned their tables.

<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus told them, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

But there are some of you who do not believe.&#8221; (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">Now a large crowd of Judeans<n id="1" /> learned<n id="2" /> that Jesus<n id="3" /> was there, and so they came not only because of him<n id="4" /> but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

I have given them your word,<n id="1" /> and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world,<n id="2" /> just as I do not belong to the world.<n id="3" />

When the local people<n id="1" /> saw the creature hanging from Paul&#8217;s<n id="2" /> hand, they said to one another, &#8220;No doubt this man is a murderer! Although he has escaped from the sea, Justice herself<n id="3" /> has not allowed him to live!&#8221;<n id="4" />

Moreover if the Spirit of the one<n id="1" /> who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ<n id="2" /> from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.<n id="3" />p>
