Jesus in Matthew

The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:1

   This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

2. 1:16

   and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

3. 1:17

   In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.

4. 1:18

   This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

5. 1:21

   She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

6. 1:22

   All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

7. 1:23

   “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).

8. 1:25

   But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.

9. 2:1

   After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

10. 2:4

    And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

11. 2:15

    where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

12. 3:3

    This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”

13. 3:13

    At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

14. 3:15

    “Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

15. 3:16

    As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.

16. 3:17

    And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”

17. 4:1

    Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

18. 4:3

    The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

19. 4:6

    “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

20. 4:7

    Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

21. 4:10

    “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

22. 4:12

    When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.

23. 4:17

    From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

24. 4:18

    As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

25. 4:23

    Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

26. 5:33

    Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

27. 7:21

    Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

28. 7:22

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

29. 7:28

    When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

30. 8:2

    Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

31. 8:3

    Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

32. 8:4

    Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

33. 8:5

    When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

34. 8:6

    “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

35. 8:7

    “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

36. 8:8

    The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

37. 8:10

    When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

38. 8:13

    Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

39. 8:14

    When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

40. 8:18

    When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

41. 8:20

    Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

42. 8:21

    Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

43. 8:22

    But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

44. 8:25

    The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

45. 8:29

    “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

46. 8:34

    Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

47. 9:2

    Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

48. 9:4

    But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

49. 9:6

    But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

50. 9:9

    As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

51. 9:10

    Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

52. 9:12

    On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

53. 9:15

    Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

54. 9:19

    So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

55. 9:22

    Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

56. 9:23

    When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

57. 9:27

    As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

58. 9:28

    After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

59. 9:30

    And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

60. 9:35

    Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

61. 9:38

    Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”

62. 10:5

    These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

63. 10:23

    When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

64. 11:1

    After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

65. 11:2

    Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

66. 11:4

    Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

67. 11:7

    As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

68. 11:19

    The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

69. 11:25

    At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

70. 11:27

    All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

71. 12:1

    At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

72. 12:8

    For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

73. 12:15

    Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

74. 12:23

    The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

75. 12:25

    Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

76. 12:32

    Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

77. 12:40

    For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

78. 13:1

    That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

79. 13:34

    Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

80. 13:36

    Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

81. 13:37

    He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

82. 13:41

    The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.

83. 13:51

    Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

84. 13:53

    When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

85. 13:57

    And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

86. 14:1

    At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

87. 14:12

    Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.

88. 14:13

    When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.

89. 14:14

    When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

90. 14:16

    “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”

91. 14:22

    Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

92. 14:25

    During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.

93. 14:27

    But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

94. 14:28

    “Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”

95. 14:29

    “Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.

96. 14:30

    But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

97. 14:31

    Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

98. 14:33

    Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

99. 15:1

    Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

100. 15:16

     “Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

101. 15:21

     Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

102. 15:22

     And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”

103. 15:25

     The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

104. 15:27

     “Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

105. 15:28

     “O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

106. 15:29

     Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

107. 15:30

     Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.

108. 15:32

     Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”

109. 15:34

     “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

110. 16:6

     “Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

111. 16:8

     Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?

112. 16:13

     When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

113. 16:16

     Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

114. 16:17

     Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.

115. 16:20

     Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.

116. 16:21

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

117. 16:22

     Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!”

118. 16:24

     Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

119. 16:27

     For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.

120. 16:28

     Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

121. 17:1

     After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

122. 17:4

     Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

123. 17:5

     While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

124. 17:7

     Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”

125. 17:8

     And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

126. 17:9

     As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

127. 17:11

     Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.

128. 17:12

     But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

129. 17:15

     “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.

130. 17:17

     “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”

131. 17:18

     Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

132. 17:19

     Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

133. 17:20

     “Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

134. 17:22

     When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.

135. 17:24

     After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”

136. 17:25

     “Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”

137. 17:26

     “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him.

138. 18:1

     At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

139. 18:2

     Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.

140. 18:11

     For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

141. 18:21

     Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

142. 18:22

     Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

143. 18:26

     Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’

144. 19:1

     When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

145. 19:14

     But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

146. 19:17

     “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

147. 19:18

     “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

148. 19:21

     Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

149. 19:23

     Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

150. 19:26

     Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

151. 19:28

     Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

152. 20:17

     As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,

153. 20:18

     “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death

154. 20:22

     “You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.

155. 20:25

     But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

156. 20:28

     just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

157. 20:30

     And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

158. 20:31

     The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

159. 20:32

     Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.

160. 20:33

     “Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”

161. 20:34

     Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.

162. 21:1

     As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

163. 21:3

     If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

164. 21:6

     So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

165. 21:9

     The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

166. 21:11

     The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

167. 21:12

     Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

168. 21:15

     But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

169. 21:16

     “Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”

170. 21:21

     “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

171. 21:24

     “I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

172. 21:27

     So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

173. 21:28

     But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

174. 21:31

     Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

175. 21:42

     Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

176. 22:1

     Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

177. 22:16

     They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.

178. 22:18

     But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

179. 22:29

     Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

180. 22:37

     Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

181. 22:41

     While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

182. 22:42

     “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

183. 22:44

     ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

184. 22:45

     So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

185. 23:1

     Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:

186. 23:8

     But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.

187. 23:10

     Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.

188. 23:39

     For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

189. 24:1

     As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings.

190. 24:2

     “Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

191. 24:4

     Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

192. 24:5

     For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

193. 24:23

     At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

194. 24:27

     For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

195. 24:30

     At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

196. 24:37

     As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

197. 24:39

     And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

198. 24:42

     Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.

199. 24:44

     For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

200. 25:11

     Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’

201. 25:13

     Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

202. 25:20

     The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’

203. 25:22

     The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’

204. 25:24

     Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

205. 25:31

     When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.

206. 25:37

     Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?

207. 25:44

     And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’

208. 26:1

     When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,

209. 26:2

     “You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

210. 26:4

     and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

211. 26:6

     While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

212. 26:10

     Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

213. 26:17

     On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

214. 26:19

     So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

215. 26:22

     They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

216. 26:24

     The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

217. 26:26

     While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

218. 26:31

     Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

219. 26:34

     “Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

220. 26:36

     Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

221. 26:45

     Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

222. 26:49

     Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

223. 26:50

     “Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

224. 26:51

     At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

225. 26:52

     “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

226. 26:55

     At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

227. 26:57

     Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

228. 26:59

     Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.

229. 26:63

     But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

230. 26:64

     “You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

231. 26:68

     and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”

232. 26:69

     Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.

233. 26:71

     When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

234. 26:75

     Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

235. 27:1

     When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

236. 27:10

     and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

237. 27:11

     Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

238. 27:17

     So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

239. 27:20

     But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

240. 27:22

     “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

241. 27:26

     So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

242. 27:27

     Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

243. 27:37

     Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

244. 27:40

     and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

245. 27:43

     He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

246. 27:46

     About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

247. 27:50

     When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

248. 27:54

     When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

249. 27:55

     And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

250. 27:57

     When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

251. 27:58

     He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

252. 28:2

     Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

253. 28:5

     But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

254. 28:6

     He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.

255. 28:9

     Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.

256. 28:10

     “Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

257. 28:16

     Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.

258. 28:18

     Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

259. 28:19

     Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
