Luke 1:6

6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.

Luke 1:8

8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

Luke 1:11

11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

Luke 1:13

13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.

Luke 1:22

22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

Luke 1:24

24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion.

Luke 1:26

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,

Luke 1:29

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

Luke 1:34

34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

Luke 1:38

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

Luke 1:39

39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,

Luke 1:56

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

Luke 1:57

57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.

Luke 1:62

62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.

Luke 1:64

64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

Luke 1:80

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit ; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.

Luke 2:1

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

Luke 2:4

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

Luke 2:6

6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

Luke 2:17

17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,

Luke 2:19

19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Luke 2:40

40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.

Luke 2:44

44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.

Luke 2:47

47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.

Luke 3:1

1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene—

Luke 3:9

9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

Luke 3:11

11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

Luke 3:12

12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

Luke 3:13

13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” he told them.

Luke 3:14

14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”

Luke 3:15

15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah.

Luke 3:16

16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Luke 3:17

17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Luke 3:19

19 But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other evil things he had done,

Luke 3:21

21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened

Luke 4:1

1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

Luke 4:21

21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Luke 4:24

24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

Luke 4:25

25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.

Luke 4:30

30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.

Luke 4:38

38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.

Luke 4:39

39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

Luke 4:40

40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.

Luke 4:41

41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.

Luke 4:42

42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them.

Luke 4:43

43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.”

Luke 5:1

1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God.

Luke 5:2

2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets.

Luke 5:3

3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

Luke 5:4

4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”

Luke 5:5

5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

Luke 5:6

6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.

Luke 5:8

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”

Luke 5:10

10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.”

Luke 5:15

15 Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

Luke 5:16

16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Luke 5:22

22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

Luke 5:24

24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”

Luke 5:33

33 They said to him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”

Luke 5:34

34 Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?

Luke 5:35

35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast.”

Luke 5:36

36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

Luke 6:1

1 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.

Luke 6:2

2 Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

Luke 6:6

6 On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled.

Luke 6:7

7 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.

Luke 6:8

8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.

Luke 6:10

10 He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored.

Luke 6:11

11 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Luke 6:12

12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

Luke 6:39

39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?

Luke 6:40

40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.

Luke 6:41

41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Luke 6:46

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

Luke 6:48

48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

Luke 6:49

49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

Luke 7:1

1 When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum.

Luke 7:2

2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.

Luke 7:3

3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.

Luke 7:4

4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this,

Luke 7:6

6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.

Luke 7:9

9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.”

Luke 7:12

12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

Luke 7:14

14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

Luke 7:16

16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”

Luke 7:20

20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’ ”

Luke 7:21

21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.

Luke 7:24

24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind?

Luke 7:28

28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

Luke 7:30

30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)

Luke 7:31

31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?

Luke 7:36

36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

Luke 7:39

39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”

Luke 7:40

40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”“Tell me, teacher,” he said.

Luke 7:41

41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,and the other fifty.

Luke 7:42

42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

Luke 7:43

43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.” “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

Luke 7:44

44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

Luke 7:45

45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet.

Luke 7:46

46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.

Luke 7:47

47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

Luke 7:48

48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

Luke 7:50

50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Luke 8:4

4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable:

Luke 8:9

9 His disciples asked him what this parable meant.

Luke 8:10

10 He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, “ ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

Luke 8:11

11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

Luke 8:12

12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

Luke 8:13

13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.

Luke 8:14

14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.

Luke 8:15

15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Luke 8:16

16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.

Luke 8:19

19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd.

Luke 8:21

21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”

Luke 8:23

23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

Luke 8:24

24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.

Luke 8:25

25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”

Luke 8:27

27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.

Luke 8:28

28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!”

Luke 8:30

30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

Luke 8:32

32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission.

Luke 8:33

33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

Luke 8:34

34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside,

Luke 8:35

35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Luke 8:36

36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured.

Luke 8:37

37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.

Luke 8:38

38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Luke 8:40

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.

Luke 8:42

42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.

Luke 8:45

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

Luke 8:46

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

Luke 8:47

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.

Luke 8:48

48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

Luke 8:50

50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

Luke 8:51

51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother.

Luke 8:52

52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”

Luke 8:54

54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”

Luke 8:56

56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

Luke 9:1

1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,

Luke 9:6

6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

Luke 9:7

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead,

Luke 9:8

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.

Luke 9:9

9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.

Luke 9:11

11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

Luke 9:12

12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”

Luke 9:13

13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.”

Luke 9:14

14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

Luke 9:16

16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.

Luke 9:19

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”

Luke 9:20

20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”

Luke 9:21

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

Luke 9:23

23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

Luke 9:24

24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.

Luke 9:25

25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?

Luke 9:27

27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:28

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.

Luke 9:32

32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

Luke 9:34

34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

Luke 9:37

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

Luke 9:41

41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

Luke 9:42

42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

Luke 9:43

43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

Luke 9:45

45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Luke 9:46

46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

Luke 9:47

47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

Luke 9:49

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”

Luke 9:51

51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

Luke 9:54

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them ?”

Luke 9:55

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

Luke 9:57

57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

Luke 9:58

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

Luke 9:59

59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

Luke 9:60

60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:61

61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”

Luke 9:62

62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Luke 10:2

2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

Luke 10:5

5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’

Luke 10:7

7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

Luke 10:8

8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.

Luke 10:10

10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,

Luke 10:12

12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Luke 10:16

16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

Luke 10:17

17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

Luke 10:18

18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Luke 10:20

20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:26

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

Luke 10:27

27 He answered, “ ‘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 neighbor as yourself.’ ”

Luke 10:28

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

Luke 10:29

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

Luke 10:30

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

Luke 10:31

31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:32

32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:33

33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.

Luke 10:34

34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

Luke 10:37

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Luke 10:38

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

Luke 10:40

40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

Luke 10:41

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things,

Luke 10:42

42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 11:2

2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “ ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.

Luke 11:11

11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks fora fish, will give him a snake instead?

Luke 11:14

14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.

Luke 11:15

15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”

Luke 11:16

16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.

Luke 11:17

17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.

Luke 11:18

18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

Luke 11:19

19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

Luke 11:20

20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Luke 11:22

22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.

Luke 11:27

27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”

Luke 11:28

28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Luke 11:29

29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

Luke 11:33

33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

Luke 11:34

34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,your body also is full of darkness.

Luke 11:37

37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.

Luke 11:38

38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

Luke 11:39

39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

Luke 11:45

45 One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”

Luke 11:46

46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.

Luke 11:47

47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them.

Luke 11:48

48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

Luke 11:53

53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions,

Luke 12:2

2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

Luke 12:4

4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

Luke 12:5

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

Luke 12:8

8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.

Luke 12:9

9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.

Luke 12:10

10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Luke 12:11

11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,

Luke 12:13

13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

Luke 12:14

14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?”

Luke 12:15

15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Luke 12:16

16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.

Luke 12:20

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

Luke 12:22

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.

Luke 12:25

25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?

Luke 12:27

27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Luke 12:28

28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!

Luke 12:30

30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.

Luke 12:39

39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

Luke 12:41

41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”

Luke 12:42

42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?

Luke 12:45

45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

Luke 12:47

47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.

Luke 12:48

48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

Luke 12:50

50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

Luke 12:54

54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.

Luke 12:56

56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?

Luke 12:57

57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

Luke 13:6

6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

Luke 13:7

7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

Luke 13:8

8 “ ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.

Luke 13:10

10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

Luke 13:12

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”

Luke 13:14

14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

Luke 13:16

16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”

Luke 13:18

18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?

Luke 13:23

23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them,

Luke 13:28

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.

Luke 13:35

35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Luke 14:4

4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

Luke 14:7

7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable:

Luke 14:12

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.

Luke 14:15

15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

Luke 14:16

16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.

Luke 14:25

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:

Luke 14:26

26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:34

34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

Luke 15:1

1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus.

Luke 15:3

3 Then Jesus told them this parable:

Luke 15:11

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.

Luke 15:14

14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.

Luke 15:17

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!

Luke 15:20

20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

Luke 15:21

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

Luke 15:22

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

Luke 15:25

25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.

Luke 15:27

27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

Luke 15:28

28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.

Luke 15:29

29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

Luke 15:30

30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

Luke 15:31

31 “ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

Luke 15:32

32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”

Luke 16:1

1 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

Luke 16:3

3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg—

Luke 16:6

6 “ ‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’

Luke 16:7

7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ “ ‘A thousand bushelsof wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’

Luke 16:14

14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.

Luke 16:15

15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

Luke 16:17

17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

Luke 16:20

20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores

Luke 16:22

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.

Luke 16:25

25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

Luke 16:27

27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family,

Luke 16:30

30 “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

Luke 16:31

31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

Luke 17:1

1 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.

Luke 17:3

3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sistersins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.

Luke 17:6

6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

Luke 17:7

7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?

Luke 17:15

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.

Luke 17:17

17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

Luke 17:20

20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed,

Luke 17:22

22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

Luke 17:25

25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

Luke 17:29

29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

Luke 17:37

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”

Luke 18:1

1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

Luke 18:3

3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

Luke 18:4

4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,

Luke 18:6

6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.

Luke 18:7

7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?

Luke 18:9

9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:

Luke 18:14

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Luke 18:15

15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.

Luke 18:16

16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Luke 18:19

19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

Luke 18:21

21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.

Luke 18:22

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Luke 18:23

23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy.

Luke 18:24

24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

Luke 18:26

26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Luke 18:27

27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Luke 18:28

28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”

Luke 18:29

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

Luke 18:31

31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

Luke 18:35

35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.

Luke 18:36

36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

Luke 18:37

37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”

Luke 18:39

39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Luke 18:40

40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him,

Luke 18:41

41 “What do you want me to do for you?”“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.

Luke 19:8

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

Luke 19:9

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.

Luke 19:11

11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.

Luke 19:13

13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

Luke 19:14

14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

Luke 19:16

16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’

Luke 19:19

19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’

Luke 19:22

22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?

Luke 19:26

26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.

Luke 19:32

32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.

Luke 19:33

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

Luke 19:34

34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

Luke 19:36

36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.

Luke 19:37

37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

Luke 19:42

42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.

Luke 19:46

46 “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Luke 19:47

47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.

Luke 20:3

3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me:

Luke 20:5

5 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

Luke 20:6

6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

Luke 20:9

9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.

Luke 20:10

10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Luke 20:11

11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed.

Luke 20:12

12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.

Luke 20:13

13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’

Luke 20:14

14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

Luke 20:16

16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”

Luke 20:17

17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

Luke 20:18

18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”

Luke 20:23

23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them,

Luke 20:24

24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”“Caesar’s,” they replied.

Luke 20:25

25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

Luke 20:27

27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.

Luke 20:31

31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.

Luke 20:35

35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,

Luke 20:37

37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

Luke 20:38

38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

Luke 20:39

39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”

Luke 20:40

40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Luke 20:41

41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?

Luke 20:45

45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,

Luke 21:1

1 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.

Luke 21:2

2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.

Luke 21:4

4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

Luke 21:7

7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

Luke 21:8

8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

Luke 21:9

9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

Luke 21:12

12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.

Luke 21:13

13 And so you will bear testimony to me.

Luke 21:16

16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.

Luke 21:20

20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.

Luke 21:23

23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

Luke 21:28

28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Luke 21:33

33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Luke 21:34

34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.

Luke 21:37

37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple, and each evening he went out to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives,

Luke 22:1

1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

Luke 22:3

3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.

Luke 22:7

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

Luke 22:9

9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

Luke 22:10

10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters,

Luke 22:13

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

Luke 22:24

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.

Luke 22:25

25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.

Luke 22:26

26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.

Luke 22:27

27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Luke 22:31

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.

Luke 22:32

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

Luke 22:33

33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”

Luke 22:34

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

Luke 22:35

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”“Nothing,” they answered.

Luke 22:38

38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied.

Luke 22:39

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.

Luke 22:40

40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”

Luke 22:43

43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.

Luke 22:44

44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Luke 22:47

47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him,

Luke 22:48

48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

Luke 22:49

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

Luke 22:51

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

Luke 22:52

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?

Luke 22:54

54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.

Luke 22:55

55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them.

Luke 22:56

56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

Luke 22:57

57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

Luke 22:58

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

Luke 22:60

60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.

Luke 22:67

67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me,

Luke 22:68

68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.

Luke 22:70

70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

Luke 22:71

71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

Luke 23:2

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”

Luke 23:3

3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

Luke 23:4

4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

Luke 23:5

5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

Luke 23:6

6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.

Luke 23:8

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort.

Luke 23:9

9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.

Luke 23:10

10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him.

Luke 23:11

11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate.

Luke 23:12

12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.

Luke 23:13

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people,

Luke 23:18

18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

Luke 23:21

21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

Luke 23:22

22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”

Luke 23:23

23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.

Luke 23:24

24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.

Luke 23:25

25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

Luke 23:27

27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.

Luke 23:28

28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.

Luke 23:32

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.

Luke 23:33

33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

Luke 23:34

34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Luke 23:35

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

Luke 23:36

36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar

Luke 23:38

38 There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Luke 23:39

39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

Luke 23:40

40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?

Luke 23:41

41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Luke 23:44

44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,

Luke 23:47

47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

Luke 23:49

49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Luke 23:55

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.

Luke 23:56

56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Luke 24:1

1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.

Luke 24:2

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

Luke 24:5

5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

Luke 24:10

10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.

Luke 24:12

12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

Luke 24:16

16 but they were kept from recognizing him.

Luke 24:17

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”They stood still, their faces downcast.

Luke 24:18

18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

Luke 24:19

19 “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.

Luke 24:21

21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.

Luke 24:24

24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

Luke 24:31

31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.

Luke 24:36

36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

Luke 24:37

37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.

Luke 24:41

41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

Luke 24:42

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

Luke 24:44

44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

Luke 24:48

48 You are witnesses of these things.

Luke 24:49

49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Luke 24:50

50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
