The Visit of the Magi

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,

The Preaching of John the Baptist

Now in those days John the Baptist *came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.

Give us this day our daily bread.

“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’

And Jesus said to them, “Can the attendants of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

And Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.”

But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.

for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The Parable of the Sower

On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

Jesus Feeds Four Thousand

And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I feel compassion for the crowd, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

The Transfiguration

And six days later Jesus *brought with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved.

Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he *said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’

saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’

and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.”

The Sadducees and the Resurrection

On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and asked Him a question,

And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.
