Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,]while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:<\/p>\n
The voice of one crying in the wilderness:\u2018Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight. And the rough ways smooth And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3 v 1-6.<\/p>\n
Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, \u201cBrood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, \u2018We have Abraham as our father.\u2019 For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now, the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
So the people asked him, saying, \u201cWhat shall we do then?\u201d He answered and said to them, \u201cHe who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.\u201d Then tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, \u201cTeacher, what shall we do?\u201d And he said to them, \u201cCollect no more than what is appointed for you.\u201d \u00a0Likewise, the soldiers asked him, saying, \u201cAnd what shall we do?\u201d So he said to them, \u201cDo not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, John answered, saying to all, \u201cI indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
And with many other exhortations he preached to the people. But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his ]brother Philip\u2019s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison. Luke 3 vs 7-20.<\/p>\n
When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, \u201cYou are My beloved Son; in You, I am well pleased.\u201d Luke 3 vs 21-22.<\/p>\n
Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David,the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. Luke 3 vs 23-38
\n<\/p>\n
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days, Jesus eat nothing: and when they were ended, He afterwards hungered. And the devil said unto him, If You are the Son of God, command this stone that it is made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.<\/p>\n
And the devil, taking Jesus up into a high mountain, showed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto Jesus, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever, I will give it. If\u00a0 You, therefore, will worship me, all shall be Yours. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get behind Me, satan: for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.<\/p>\n
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give His angels charge over You, to keep You: And in their hands, they shall bear thee up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, you shall not tempt the Lord your God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Jesus for a season. Luke 4 v 1-14.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of Him through all the region round about. And Jesus taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. Luke 4 vs 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, Jesus went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto Jesus the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, Jesus found the place where it was written.\u00a0The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.<\/p>\n And Jesus closed the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.\u00a0And Jesus began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare Him witness and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? And Jesus said unto them, You will surely say unto Me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in this your country. And He said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.<\/p>\n But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land; But unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong. But Jesus passing through the midst of them went His way. Luke 4 vs 16-30.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. And they were astonished at His doctrine: for His word was with power.\u00a0And there was a man in the synagogue, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with You Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know You who you are; the Holy One of God.<\/p>\n And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him and hurt him not. And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out. And the fame of Jesus went out into every place of the country roundabout. Luke 4 vs 31-37.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now Jesus arose from the synagogue and entered Simon\u2019s house. But Simon\u2019s wife\u2019s mother was]sick with a high fever, and they made request of Jesus concerning her. So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately, she arose and served them.<\/p>\n When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, \u201cYou are the Christ, the Son of God!\u201d and Jesus, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ. Luke 4 v 38-41.<\/strong><\/p>\n And when it was day, Jesus departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought after Him, and came unto Jesus, and asked Him to remain with them so that he should not depart from them. And Jesus said unto them, I must preach the Kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore I am sent. And Jesus preached in the synagogues of Galilee. Luke 4 vs 42-44.<\/strong><\/p>\n So it was, as the multitude pressed about Jesus to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret and saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. Then Jesus got into one of the boats, which was Simon\u2019s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And Jesus sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. But Simon answered and said to Him, \u201cMaster, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.\u201d And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus\u2019 knees, saying, \u201cDepart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; \u00a0and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, \u201cDo not be afraid. From now on, you will catch men.\u201d So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him. Luke 5 v 1-11.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it happened when Jesus was in a certain city, that behold, a man full of leprosy saw Him; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, \u201cLord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.\u201dThen Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, \u201cI am willing; be cleansed.\u201d Immediately the leprosy left him. And He charged him to tell no one, \u201cBut go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.\u201d\u00a0However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. Luke 5 v 12-16.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it happened on a certain day, as Jesus was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.\u00a0Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.<\/p>\n When Jesus saw their faith, He said to him, \u201cMan, your sins are forgiven you.\u201dAnd the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, \u201cWho is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?\u201d\u00a0But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, \u201cWhy are you reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, \u2018Your sins are forgiven you,\u2019 or to say, \u2018Rise up and walk\u2019? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins\u201d\u2014He said to the man who was paralyzed, \u201cI say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.\u201dImmediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, \u201cWe have seen strange things today!\u201d Luke 5 v 17-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, \u201cFollow Me.\u201d So he left all, rose up, and followed Him. Then they said to Him, \u201cWhy do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?\u201d Then He spoke a parable to them: \u201cNo one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, \u2018The old is better.\u2019 \u201d Luke 5 v 33-39.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands. And some Pharisees said, \u201cWhy are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?\u201d Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. Now it came to pass in those days that Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, Jesus called His disciples to Himself, and from them, He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor. Luke 6 v 12-16.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch Jesus , for power went out from Him and healed them all. Luke 6 v 17-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus lifted up His eyes toward His disciples and said: \u201cBlessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled.\u00a0Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man\u2019s sake.Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets. Luke 6 v 20-23.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets. Luke 6 v 24-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods, do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.\u00a0\u201cBut if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those, who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.\u00a0But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Luke 6 v 27-36.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cJudge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.\u201d \u201cFor a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. Luke 6 v 43-45.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut why do you call Me \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 and not do the things I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them; I will show you whom he is like \u00a0He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. Now when Jesus had concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. And a certain centurion\u2019s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Jesus to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,\u201cfor he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.\u201d<\/p>\n Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Jesus, \u201cLord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, \u2018Go,\u2019 and he goes; and to another, \u2018Come,\u2019 and he comes; and to my servant, \u2018Do this,\u2019 and he does it.\u201d<\/p>\n When Jesus heard these things, He marvelled at him and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, \u201cI say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!\u201d And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well [a]who had been sick.\u00a0 Luke 7 v 1-10.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it came to pass the next day, that Jesus went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him and many people. Now when Jesus came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man being carried out of the city, he was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her. And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And He came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And Jesus said, Young man, I say unto you, Arise. And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And Jesus delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all the people: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God has visited His people. And this report of Jesus went forth throughout all Judaea and throughout all the region roundabout. Luke 7 vs 11-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, \u201cAre You the Coming One, or do we look for another?\u201d When the men had come to Jesus, they said, \u201cJohn the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, \u2018Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?\u2019 \u201d And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.<\/p>\n Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cGo and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.\u201d<\/p>\n When the messengers of John had departed, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: \u201cWhat did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings\u2019 courts. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written: \u2018Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.\u2019<\/p>\n For I say to you, among those born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.\u201d And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him. And the Lord said, \u201cTo what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?<\/p>\n They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: \u2018We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not weep.\u2019For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, \u2018He has a demon.\u2019 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, \u2018Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!\u2019 But wisdom is justified by all her children.\u201d Luke 7 v 18-35.<\/strong><\/p>\n And one of the Pharisees desired that Jesus would eat with him. And Jesus went into the Pharisee’s house and sat down to eat. And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat down to eat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet and anointed them with the ointment.\u00a0Now when the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches Him: for she is a sinner. Luke 7 vs 36-39.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto you. And he said, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him the most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave the most. And Jesus said unto him, you have judged rightly.<\/p>\n And Jesus turned to the woman and said unto Simon, See this woman? I entered into your house, yet you gave Me no water for my feet: but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Also, you gave Me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss My feet. My head, you have not anointed it with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I say unto you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.<\/p>\n And Jesus said unto her, your sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? And Jesus said to the woman, your faith has saved you; go in peace. Luke 7 vs 40-50.<\/strong> Now it came to pass, afterwards, that Jesus went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities\u2014Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod\u2019s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance. Luke 8 v 1-3.<\/strong><\/p>\n And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, Jesus spoke by a parable: \u201cA sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock, and as soon as they sprang up, they withered away because they lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.\u201d When He had said these things, He cried, \u201cHe who has ears to hear, let him hear!\u201d Luke 8 v 4-8.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then His disciples asked Jesus, saying, \u201cWhat does this parable mean?\u201d And He said, \u201cTo you, it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest, it is given in parables, that \u2018Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cNow the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. Luke 8 v 9-15.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is a secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed of how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.\u201d Luke 8 v 16-18.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then His mother and brothers came to Him and could not approach Him because of the crowd. And it was told Him by some, who said, \u201cYour mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.\u201d But He answered and said to them, \u201cMy mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.\u201d Luke 8 v 19-21.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, \u201cLet us cross over to the other side of the lake.\u201d And they launched out. But as they sailed, He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, \u201cMaster, Master, we are perishing!\u201d Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him, a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, \u201cWhat have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!\u201d For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness. Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And he suffered them. Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.<\/p>\n They also, who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed. Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, \u201cReturn to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.\u201d And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. Luke 8 v 26-39.<\/strong><\/p>\n So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus\u2019 feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, \u201cMaster, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, \u2018Who touched Me?\u2019\u00a0But Jesus said, \u201cSomebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.\u201d Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.<\/p>\n And He said to her, \u201cDaughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.\u201d While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue\u2019s house, saying to him, \u201cYour daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher.\u201d\u00a0But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, \u201cDo not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.\u201d When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.<\/p>\n Now all wept and mourned for her, but He said, \u201cDo not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.\u201d And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, \u201cLittle girl, arise.\u201d Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.\u00a0 Luke 8 v 40-56.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. And He said to them, \u201cTake nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.\u201cWhatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.\u201d\u00a0So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. Luke 9 v 1-6.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all that was done by Jesus, and he was perplexed because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. Herod said, \u201cJohn, I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?\u201d So he sought to see\u00a0 Jesus.Luke 9 v 7-9.<\/strong><\/p>\n And the apostles, when they had returned, told Jesus all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Jesus; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, \u201cSend the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.\u201d Then He said to His disciples, \u201cMake them sit down in groups of fifty.\u201d And they did so, and made them all sit down.\u00a0Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people. So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them. Luke 9 v 10-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, \u201cWho do the crowds say that I am?\u201d So they answered and said, \u201cJohn the Baptist, but some say Elijah, and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.\u201d\u00a0He said to them, \u201cBut who do you say that I am?\u201d\u00a0Peter answered and said, \u201cThe Christ of God.\u201d\u00a0And Jesus strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, \u201cThe Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.\u201d Luke 9 v 18-22.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus said to them all, \u201cIf anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father\u2019s, and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.\u201d Luke 9 v 23-27.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.<\/p>\n Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, \u201cMaster, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah\u201d\u2014not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, \u201cThis is My beloved Son. Hear Him!\u201d When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen. Luke 9 v 28-36.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Jesus. Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, \u201cTeacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child. And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him. So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.\u201d Then Jesus answered and said, \u201cO faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.\u201d And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father. Luke 9 v 37-42.<\/strong><\/p>\n And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marvelled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,\u201cLet these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.\u201d But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying. Luke 9 v 43-45.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him, and said to them, \u201cWhoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.\u201dNow John answered and said, \u201cMaster, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.\u201d\u00a0But Jesus said to him, \u201cDo not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side.\u201d Luke 9 v 46-50<\/strong><\/p>\n And it came to pass when the time came that Jesus should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, and He sent messengers before His face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for Him. But they did not receive Jesus, because His face was as though He would go to Jerusalem. And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, would You have us that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did? But Jesus turned, and rebuked them, and said, You do not know what manner of spirit you are off. For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. Luke 9 vs 51-56.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, \u201cLord, I will follow You wherever You go.\u201d And Jesus said to him, \u201cFoxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.\u201d\u00a0Then He said to another, \u201cFollow Me.\u201dBut he said, \u201cLord, let me first go and bury my father.\u201dJesus said to him, \u201cLet the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.\u201d\u00a0And another also said, \u201cLord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.\u201dBut Jesus said to him, \u201cNo one, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.\u201d Luke 9 v 57-62.<\/strong><\/p>\n After these things, the Lord appointed another seventy disciples and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, wheresoever He Himself would enter. Therefore Jesus said unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.\u00a0Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house you enter, first of all, you are to say Peace be to this house.<\/p>\n And if the son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.\u00a0And into whatsoever city, you shall enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The Kingdom of God has come nigh unto you.<\/p>\n But into whatsoever city, you shall enter, and they do not receive you, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be you sure of this, that the Kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Luke 10 vs 1-12.<\/strong><\/p>\n Woe unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. He that hears you hears Me, and he that despises you despises Me, and he that despises Me despises Him that sent Me. Luke 10 v 13-16.<\/p>\n And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Your Name. And Jesus said unto them, I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and overall the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10 vs 17-20.<\/strong><\/p>\n And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tested Jesus, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus said unto him, What is written in the law? how do you read it? And he answering said,\u00a0 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and love your neighbour as yourself.\u00a0And Jesus said unto him, you have answered right: this do, and you shall live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?\u00a0And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.<\/p>\n And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when the priest saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise, a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the following morning when he was departing, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you. Which now of these three, do you think was a neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and you do likewise. Luke 10 vs 25-37.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it came to pass, as they went, that Jesus entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard His word. But Martha was cumbered about with much serving, and came to Jesus, and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she should help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10 vs 38-42.<\/strong> Now it came to pass, as Jesus was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, \u201cLord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.\u201d\u00a0So Jesus said to them, \u201cWhen you pray, say: Our\u00a0 Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done In earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.\u201dLuke 11 v 1-4.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus said to them, \u201cWhich of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, \u2018Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him\u2019; and he will answer from within and say, \u2018Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you\u2019? I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will rise and give him as many as he needs. Luke 11 v 5-8.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSo I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or, if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!\u201d Luke 11 v 9-13.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke, and the multitudes marvelled. But some of them said, \u201cHe casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.\u201d And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armour in which he trusted and divides his spoils. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters. Luke 11 v 14-23.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, \u2018I will return to my house from which I came.\u2019 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first.\u201d Luke 11 v 24-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it happened, as Jesus spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, \u201cBlessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!\u201d But Jesus said, \u201cMore than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!\u201dLuke 11 v 27-28.<\/strong><\/p>\n And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, Jesus began to say, \u201cThis is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed, a greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. Luke 11 v 29-32.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.\u201d Luke 11 v 33-36.<\/strong><\/p>\n And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that He had not first washed before dinner. \u201cBut woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done without leaving the others undone. Woe to you, Pharisees! For you, love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.\u201d<\/p>\n Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, \u201cTeacher, by saying these things, You reproach us also.\u201d\u00a0And He said, \u201cWoe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.\u00a0 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.<\/p>\n Therefore the wisdom of God also said, \u2018I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,\u2019 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.<\/p>\n \u201cWoe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.\u201d\u00a0And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him. Luke 11 v 37-54.<\/strong><\/p>\n When there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trod one upon another, Jesus began to say unto His disciples, first of all, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light, and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. Luke 12 vs 1-3.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!\u00a0\u201cAre not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12 v 4-7.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAlso I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.\u201cAnd anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.\u00a0\u201cNow, when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.\u201d Luke 12 v 8-12.<\/strong><\/p>\n And one of the company said unto Jesus, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And Jesus said unto him, Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you? And Jesus said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he may possess.\u00a0And Jesus spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room wherein to store my fruits?<\/p>\n And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater, and there I will store all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take then your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.\u00a0But God said unto him, you fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided? So is he that lays up treasure for himself, but is not rich toward God. Luke 12 vs 13-21.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus said to His disciples, \u201cTherefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?<\/p>\n And which of you by worrying, can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?<\/p>\n \u201cAnd do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. Luke 12 vs 22-31.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDo not fear, little flock, for it is your Father\u2019s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be. Luke 12 v 32-34.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cLet your waist be girded and your lamps burning, and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the master when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat and will come and serve them. And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But know this that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.\u201d And the Lord said, \u201cWho then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has. But if that servant says in his heart, \u2018My master is delaying his coming,\u2019 and begins to beat the male and female servants and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant who knew his master\u2019s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know yet committed things deserving of stripes shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him, they will ask the more. Luke 12 v 35-48.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on, five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.\u201d Luke 12 v 49-53.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then He also said to the multitudes, \u201cWhenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, \u2018A shower is coming, and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, \u2018There will be hot weather, and there is. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? Luke 12 v 54-56.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right? When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, make every effort along the way to settle with him, lest he drags you to the judge, the judge delivers you to the officer, and the officer throws you into prison. I tell you, you shall not depart from there till you have paid the very last mite.\u201d Luke 12 v 57-59.<\/strong><\/p>\n There were present at that season some that told Jesus of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, do you suppose that those Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans because they suffered such things?\u00a0I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Luke 13 vs 1-5.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jesus spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, but found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and have found none: cut it down; why cumber it the ground?\u00a0And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bears fruit, well: but if not, then after that you shalt cut it down. Luke 13 vs 6-9<\/strong><\/p>\n While Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years and was bowed together, and she could in no wise lift herself up. And when Jesus saw her, He called her unto Himself, and said unto her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity. And Jesus laid His hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, but not on the sabbath day.<\/p>\n The Lord then answered him and said, you hypocrite, do not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when Jesus had said these things, all of His adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him. Luke 13 vs 10-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus said, \u201cWhat is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.\u201d Luke 13 v 18-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n And again, Jesus said, \u201cTo what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.\u201d Luke 13 v 20-21<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus went through the cities and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then one said to Jesus, \u201cLord, are there few who are saved?\u201d Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.\u2019 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and yourselves thrust out. They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.\u201d On that very day, some Pharisees came, saying to Jesus, \u201cGet out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.\u201d And Jesus said to them, \u201cGo, tell that fox, \u2018Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.\u2019 Nevertheless, I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. Luke 13 v 22-33.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate, and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, \u2018Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!\u2019 \u201dLuke 13 v 34-35.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it came to pass, as Jesus went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched Him. And, behold, there was a certain man before Jesus who had dropsy. And Jesus answering spoke unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace.\u00a0And Jesus took the man, and healed him, and let him go; And He answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and would you not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? And they could not answer Him again to these things. Luke 14 vs 1-6.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus put forth a parable to those who were invited when He observed how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, When you are invited of any man to a wedding, do not sit down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than you be invited of him; And he that invited you to come shall say to you, Give this man your place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited you shall come may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then you shall have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you. For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.<\/p>\n Then said Jesus also to him that invited Him, When you shall make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbours; lest they also shall bid you again, and a recompense be made of you. But when you make a feast, call instead, the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind: And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Luke 14 vs 7-14.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, \u201cBlessed is he who shall eat]bread in the kingdom of God!\u201d\u00a0Then Jesus said to him, \u201cA certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, \u2018Come, for all things are now ready.\u2019 But they all, with one accord, began to make excuses.<\/p>\n The first said to him, \u2018I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.\u2019 And another said, \u2018I have bought five yokes of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.\u2019 Still, another said, \u2018I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.\u2019 So that servant came and reported these things to his master.<\/p>\n Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, \u2018Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.\u2019 And the servant said, \u2018Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.\u2019 Then the master said to the servant, \u2018Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.\u2019 Luke 14 v 15-24.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it lest, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, \u2018This man began to build and was not able to finish? Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for conditions of peace. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. Luke 14 v 25-33.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSalt is good, but if the salt has lost its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!\u201d Luke 14 v 34-35.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Jesus to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, \u201cThis Man receives sinners and eats with them.\u201d So Jesus spoke this parable to them, saying:\u00a0\u201cWhat man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, \u2018Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!\u2019 I say to you that likewise, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. Luke 15 v 1-7<\/strong><\/p>\n What woman having ten pieces of silver, if she was to lose one piece, goes light to light a candle, and sweep the house, and search diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which that I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents. Luke 15 vs 8-10.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And the father divided unto them his living. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: but no man gave unto him.<\/p>\n And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you, And I am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants. And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and I am no more worthy to be called your son.<\/p>\n But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry: For this, my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.\u00a0Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and sound.<\/p>\n But he was angry and would not go in: therefore came, his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I have served you, and I have never transgressed at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this your son has come, who has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf. And the father said unto him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours; it was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this, your brother was dead and is alive again, and he was lost and is found. Luke 15 vs 11-32.<\/strong> And Jesus said also unto His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this about you? give an account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be a steward.\u00a0Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.<\/p>\n So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much do you owe unto my lord? And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.\u00a0Then he said unto to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.\u00a0And the lord commended the unjust steward because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. And I say unto you, make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.<\/p>\n He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16 vs 1-13.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Jesus. And He said to them, \u201cYou are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.\u201cThe law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.\u201cWhoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery. Luke 16 v 14-18.<\/strong><\/p>\n There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,\u00a0 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.<\/p>\n And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.\u00a0And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.<\/p>\n Then he said, I pray you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, no father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16 vs 19-31.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus said to the disciples, \u201cIt is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, \u2018I repent,\u2019 you shall forgive him.\u201d Luke 17 v 1-4.<\/strong><\/p>\n And the apostles said to the Lord, \u201cIncrease our faith.\u201dSo the Lord said, \u201cIf you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, \u2018Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,\u2019 and it would obey you. And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, \u2018Come at once and sit down to eat\u2019? But will he not rather say to him, \u2018Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink\u2019? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, \u2018We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.\u2019 Luke 17 v 5-10.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it came to pass, as Jesus went to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as Jesus entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.\u00a0And when Jesus saw them, He said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and he fell down on his face at Jesu\u2019s feet, giving Him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.\u00a0And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go your way: for your faith has made you whole. Luke 17 vs 11-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n And when Jesus was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The Kingdom of God does not come with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.\u00a0And Jesus said unto the disciples, The days will come when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you shall not see it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.\u00a0For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shine unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of Man be in His day.<\/p>\n But first, He must suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.\u00a0Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.\u00a0Even so, shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife.<\/p>\n Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.\u00a0Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said unto Jesus, Where, Lord? And He said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Luke 17 vs 20-37.<\/strong<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a\u00a0 certain city a judge, who had no fear of God, neither regarded any man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. But he would not for a while: but afterwards, he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.\u00a0And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cries day and night unto Him, though He bears long with them?\u00a0I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth? Luke 18 vs 1-8.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus spoke this parable unto certain people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank You, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.\u00a0 For I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.<\/p>\n And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.\u00a0I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted. Luke 18 vs 9-14.<\/strong><\/p>\n And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you; Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Luke 18 v 15-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n And a certain ruler asked Jesus, saying Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why do you call me good? No one is good, save one, that is, God. You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.\u00a0Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, you lack one thing sell all that you have, and distribute unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow Me.<\/p>\n And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed You. And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. Luke 18 v 18-34.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it came to pass that as Jesus came nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto Him: and when he came near, Jesus asked him, Saying, What would you have Me to do unto you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. Luke 18 v 35-43.<\/strong><\/p>\n When Jesus entered and passed through Jericho, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and could not for the press because he was little of stature. And he ran before and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see Jesus: for He was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at your house. And he made haste, and came down, and received Jesus joyfully.<\/p>\n And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That Jesus was gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, for as much as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19 vs 1-10.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, as they heard these things, Jesus spoke another parable because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. Therefore Jesus said: \u201cA certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten talents, and said to them, \u2018Do business till I come.\u2019 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, \u2018We will not have this man to reign over us.\u2019 Then came the first, saying, \u2018Master, your mina has earned ten talents\u2019 And he said to him, \u2018Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.\u2019 And the second came, saying, \u2018Master, your talent has earned five talents.\u2019 Likewise, he said to him, \u2018You also be over five cities.\u2019\u201cThen another came, saying, \u2018Master, here is your talent, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. For I feared you because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.\u2019<\/p>\n And he said to him, \u2018Out of your own mouth, I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. Why then did you not put my money in the bank that at my coming, I might have collected it with interest?\u2019\u00a0\u201cAnd he said to those who stood by, \u2018Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.\u2019 But they said to him, \u2018Master, he has ten minas.\u2019 \u2018For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.\u2019 Luke 19 v 11-27.<\/strong><\/p>\n When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, saying, \u201cGo into the village opposite you, where as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, \u2018Why are you loosing it?\u2019 thus you shall say to him, \u2018Because the Lord has need of it.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them. But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, \u201cWhy are you loosing the colt?\u201d\u00a0And they said, \u201cThe Lord has need of him.\u201d Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road. Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, saying: \u201c \u2018Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!\u2019 Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!\u201d And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, \u201cTeacher, rebuke Your disciples.\u201d\u00a0But He answered and said to them, \u201cI tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.\u201dLuke 19 v 28-40.<\/strong><\/p>\n And when Jesus came near, He beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side, And shall lay you even with the ground, with your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you did not know the time of your visitation. Luke 19 vs 41-44.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, saying to them, \u201cIt is written, \u2018My house is a house of prayer,\u2019 but you have made it a \u2018den of thieves.\u2019And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him and were unable to do anything, for all the people were very attentive to hear Him. Luke 19 v 45-48.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now it happened on one of those days, as Jesus taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Jesus and spoke to Him, saying, \u201cTell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?\u201d\u00a0But Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cI also will ask you one thing, and answer Me: The baptism of John\u2014was it from heaven or from men?\u201dAnd they reasoned among themselves, saying, \u201cIf we say, \u2018From heaven,\u2019 He will say, \u2018Why then did you not believe him?\u2019 But if we say, \u2018From men,\u2019 all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.\u201d So they answered that they did not know where it was from. And Jesus said to them, \u201cNeither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.\u201d Luke 20 v 1-8.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus began to tell the people this parable: \u201cA certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. Now at vintage-time, he sent a servant to the vinedressers so that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent another servant, and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And again, he sent a third, and they wounded him also and cast him out.<\/p>\n \u201cThen the owner of the vineyard said, \u2018What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.\u2019 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, \u2018This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.\u2019 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.\u201d And when they heard it, they said, \u201cCertainly not!\u201dThen He looked at them and said, \u201cWhat then is this that is written: \u2018The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone? Whoever falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.\u201d And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people\u2014for they knew He had spoken this parable against them. Luke 20 v 9-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n And they watched Jesus and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. Then they asked Him, saying, \u201cTeacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favouritism, but teach the way of God in truth: Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?\u201d\u00a0But Jesus perceived their craftiness and said to them, \u201cWhy do you test Me? Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?\u201dThey answered and said, \u201cCaesar\u2019s.\u201dAnd He said to them, \u201cRender therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar\u2019s, and to God the things that are God\u2019s.\u201d But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marvelled at His answer and kept silent. Luke 20 v 20-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Jesus and asked Him, saying: \u201cTeacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man\u2019s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife and died without children. And the second took her as wife, and he died childless. Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died. Last, of all, the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cThe sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised when he called the Lord \u2018the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.\u2019 For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.\u201dThen some of the scribes answered and said, \u201cTeacher, You have spoken well.\u201d But after that, they dared not question Jesus anymore. Luke 20 v 27-40.<\/strong><\/p>\n And He said to them, \u201cHow can they say that the Christ is the Son of David? Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms: \u2018The Lord said to my Lord, \u201cSit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.\u201d Therefore David calls Him \u2018Lord\u2019; how is He then his Son?\u201dLuke 20 v 41-44.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples, \u201cBeware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widows\u2019 houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.\u201d Luke 20 v 45-47.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He also saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, \u201cTruly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.\u201d Luke 21 v 1-4.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, Jesus said,\u201cThese things which you see\u2014the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.\u201d Luke 21 v 5-6.<\/strong><\/p>\n So they asked Jesus, saying, \u201cTeacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?\u201d\u00a0And Jesus said: \u201cTake heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, \u2018I am He,\u2019 and, \u2018The time has drawn near.\u2019 Therefore do not go after them. But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified, for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n Then Jesus said to them, \u201cNation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name\u2019s sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name\u2019s sake. But not a hair of your head shall be lost. By your patience, possess your souls. Luke 21 v 7-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Luke 21 v 20-24.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men\u2019s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads because your redemption draws near.\u201d Luke 21 v 25-28.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then Jesus spoke to them a parable: \u201cLook at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.\u00a0 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Luke 21 v 29-33.<\/strong><\/p>\n And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch you, therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.\u00a0And in the daytime, Jesus was teaching in the temple, and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the Mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to Jesus in the temple, for to hear Him. Luke 21 vs 34-38.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Jesus, for they feared the people.At this time, satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains about how he might betray Jesus to them. And they were glad and agreed to give him money. So he promised and sought the opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of the multitude. Luke 22 v 1-6.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, \u201cGo and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.\u201d So they said to Him, \u201cWhere do You want us to prepare?\u201d\u00a0And Jesus said to them, \u201cBehold when you have entered the city; a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. Then you shall say to the master of the house, \u2018The Teacher says to you, \u201cWhere is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?\u201d \u2019 Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there, make ready.\u201d\u00a0So they went and found it just as Jesus had said to them, and they prepared the Passover. Luke 22 v 7-13.<\/strong><\/p>\n When the hour had come, Jesus sat down and the twelve apostles with Him. Then Jesus said to them, \u201cWith fervent desire, I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.\u201dThen Jesus took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, \u201cTake this and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.\u201d\u00a0And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, \u201cThis is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.\u201d<\/p>\n Likewise, Jesus also took the cup after supper, saying, \u201cThis cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!\u201d Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing. Luke 22 v 14-23.<\/strong><\/p>\n And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. And Jesus said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But it shall not be so with you. But he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve. For who is the greater, is it he that sits at meat, or he that serves? is not he that sits at meat? but I am among you as He that serves. You are they who have continued with Me in My temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father has appointed unto Me; That you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22 vs 24-30.<\/strong><\/p>\n And the Lord said, \u201cSimon, Simon! Indeed, satan has asked for you that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail, and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.\u201d\u00a0But he said to Him, \u201cLord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.\u201d\u00a0Then He said, \u201cI tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.\u201dLuke 22 v 31-34.<\/strong><\/p>\n And He said to them, \u201cWhen I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?\u201d So they said, \u201cNothing.\u201dThen He said to them, \u201cBut now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: \u2018And He was numbered with the transgressors.\u2019 For the things concerning Me have an end.\u201d So they said, \u201cLord, look, here are two swords.\u201d\u00a0And He said to them, \u201cIt is enough.\u201dLuke 22 v 31-38.<\/strong><\/p>\n Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. When He came to the place, He said to them, \u201cPray that you may not enter into temptation.\u201d\u00a0And He was withdrawn from them about a stone\u2019s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, \u201cFather, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.\u201d Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.\u00a0When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. Then He said to them, \u201cWhy do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.\u201dLuke 22 v 39-46.<\/strong><\/p>\n And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. But Jesus said to him, \u201cJudas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?\u201d\u00a0When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, \u201cLord, shall we strike with the sword?\u201d And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.\u00a0But Jesus answered and said, \u201cPermit even this.\u201d And He touched his ear and healed him.<\/p>\n Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, \u201cHave you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.\u201d Luke 22 v 47-53.<\/strong><\/p>\n Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest\u2019s house. But Peter followed at a distance. Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, \u201cThis man was also with Him.\u201d\u00a0But he denied Jesus, saying, \u201cWoman, I do not know Him.\u201d\u00a0And after a little while another saw him and said, \u201cYou also are of them.\u201d\u00a0But Peter said, \u201cMan, I am not!\u201d<\/p>\n Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, \u201cSurely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean.\u201d\u00a0But Peter said, \u201cMan, I do not know what you are saying!\u201dImmediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, \u201cBefore the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.\u201d So Peter went out and wept bitterly. Luke 22 v 54-62.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and beat Him. And having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, \u201cProphecy! Who is the one who struck You?\u201d And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him. Luke 22 v 63-65.<\/strong><\/p>\n And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together and led Jesus into their council, saying, are You the Christ? Tell us. And He said unto them, If I tell you, you will not believe: And if I also ask you, you will not answer Me, nor let Me go. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then they all said, are You then the Son of God? And Jesus said unto them; You say that I am. And they said, What need have we of any further witness? For we ourselves have heard of His own mouth. Luke 22 vs 66-71.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Jesus to Pilate. And they began to accuse Jesus, saying, \u201cWe found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.\u201d\u00a0Then Pilate asked Him, saying, \u201cAre You the King of the Jews?\u201d Jesus\u00a0 answered him and said, \u201cIt is as you say.\u201d\u00a0So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, \u201cI find no fault in this Man.\u201d\u00a0But they were the more fierce, saying, \u201cHe stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.\u201d Luke 23 v 1-5. When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. Luke 23 v 1-6.<\/strong><\/p>\nJesus Begins His Ministry.<\/h4>\n

And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, \u201cWhy do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?\u201d\u00a0Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cThose who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

\nBut Jesus answering them said, \u201cHave you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?\u201d And He said to them, \u201cThe Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.\u201d Luke 6 v 1-5.<\/strong><\/p>\nJesus Healing on the Sabbath.<\/h4>\n
\nBut Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, \u201cArise and stand here.\u201d And he arose and stood.
