&#8220;As for these things that you are gazing at, the days will come when not one stone will be left on another.<n id="1" /> All will be torn down!&#8221;<n id="2" />

And when you hear of wars and rebellions,<n id="1" /> do not be afraid.<n id="2" /> For these things must happen first, but the end will not come at once.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;But be on your guard<n id="1" /> so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day close down upon you suddenly like a trap.<n id="2" />

But stay alert at all times,<n id="1" /> praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must<n id="2" /> happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.&#8221;p>

And in the same way he took<n id="1" /> the cup after they had eaten,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8220;This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant<n id="3" /> in my blood.p>

For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined,<n id="1" /> but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!&#8221;

So<n id="1" /> they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this.p>

&#8220;Father, if you are willing, take<n id="1" /> this cup<n id="2" /> away from me. Yet not my will but yours<n id="3" /> be done.&#8221;

Then a slave girl,<n id="1" /> seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, &#8220;This man was with him too!&#8221;

And after about an hour still another insisted,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean.&#8221;<n id="2" />

When<n id="1" /> he learned that he was from Herod&#8217;s jurisdiction,<n id="2" /> he sent him over to Herod,<n id="3" /> who also happened to be in Jerusalem<n id="4" /> at that time.

A third time he said to them, &#8220;Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty<n id="1" /> of no crime deserving death.<n id="2" /> I will therefore flog<n id="3" /> him and release him.&#8221;

Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, &#8220;Father, <b><i>into your hands I commit my spirit!i>b>&#8221;<n id="1" /> And after he said this he breathed his last.p>

<p class="bodytext">Now when the centurion<n id="1" /> saw what had happened, he praised God and said, &#8220;Certainly this man was innocent!&#8221;<n id="2" />

And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.<n id="1" />

And all those who knew Jesus<n id="1" /> stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw<n id="2" /> these things.p>

(He<n id="1" /> had not consented<n id="2" /> to their plan and action.) He<n id="3" /> was from the Judean town<n id="4" /> of Arimathea, and was looking forward to<n id="5" /> the kingdom of God.<n id="6" />

While<n id="1" /> they were perplexed<n id="2" /> about this, suddenly<n id="3" /> two men stood beside them in dazzling<n id="4" /> attire.

Now it was Mary Magdalene,<n id="1" /> Joanna,<n id="2" /> Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.

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>
