Then<n id="1" /> they asked Jesus<n id="2" /> to leave their region.

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when the other ten<n id="2" /> heard this,<n id="3" /> they became angry with James and John.

They were distressed, and one by one said to him, &#8220;Surely not I?&#8221;

They began to salute him: &#8220;Hail, king of the Jews!&#8221;<n id="1" />

They<n id="1" /> became greatly distressed<n id="2" /> and each one began to say to him, &#8220;Surely not I, Lord?&#8221;

But<n id="1" /> those who were at the table<n id="2" /> with him began to say among themselves, &#8220;Who is this, who even forgives sins?&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">When he went out from there, the experts in the law<n id="1" /> and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly,<n id="2" /> and to ask him hostile questions<n id="3" /> about many things,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Jesus<n id="1" /> was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheat<n id="2" /> as they made their way.

They ran through that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever he was rumored to be.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then the Pharisees<n id="1" /> came and began to argue with Jesus, asking for<n id="2" /> a sign from heaven<n id="3" /> to test him.

because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again &#8211; he was lost and is found!&#8217;<n id="1" /> So<n id="2" /> they began to celebrate.p>

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

All<n id="1" /> of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages<n id="2" /> as the Spirit enabled them.<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on a Sabbath. His<n id="1" /> disciples were hungry, and they began to pick heads of wheat<n id="2" /> and eat them.

Then<n id="1" /> some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to strike him with their fists, saying, &#8220;Prophesy!&#8221; The guards also took him and beat<n id="2" /> him.p>

Then<n id="1" /> the experts in the law<n id="2" /> and the Pharisees began to think<n id="3" /> to themselves,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Who is this man<n id="5" /> who is uttering blasphemies?<n id="6" /> Who can forgive sins but God alone?&#8221;

But one after another they all<n id="1" /> began to make excuses.<n id="2" /> The first said to him, &#8216;I have bought a field,<n id="3" /> and I must go out and see it. Please excuse me.&#8217;<n id="4" />

As he approached the road leading down from<n id="1" /> the Mount of Olives,<n id="2" /> the whole crowd of his<n id="3" /> disciples began to rejoice<n id="4" /> and praise<n id="5" /> God with a loud voice for all the mighty works<n id="6" /> they had seen:<n id="7" />

They<n id="1" /> began to accuse<n id="2" /> him, saying, &#8220;We found this man subverting<n id="3" /> our nation, forbidding<n id="4" /> us to pay the tribute tax<n id="5" /> to Caesar<n id="6" /> and claiming that he himself is Christ,<n id="7" /> a king.&#8221;
