“Reclining at table with His disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.’ …”
“Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served,
while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him.
Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil
made from genuine aromatic nard
and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair …”
“… At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ …”
“Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ. Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When His Mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold,
the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.’ …”
“… the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself does, and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. For just as the Father Raises the dead and Gives Life, so also does the Son Give Life to whomever He wishes. …”
“Now there is in Jerusalem … a pool called … Bethesda …. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. … Jesus … said to him, ‘Do you want to be well?’ … ‘Rise, take up your mat, and walk.’ …”
“… there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had arrived … he … asked Him to come down and heal his son, who was near death. … Jesus said to him, ‘You may go; your son will live.’ …”
“… For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have Eternal Life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be Saved through Him. …”
“Jesus addressed this parable … ‘Two people went up to the temple area to pray … the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, “O God, be merciful to me a sinner.” I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.'”
