For the next 470 years after Queen Esther lived in Persia, God continued to speak to His people through the words of the Old Testament of the Bible. God used these years to set the stage for the coming of Jesus, the Savior God had promised to send thousands of years before when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden
Part of God’s preparation for the coming Savior included a man named John the Baptist. John the Baptist was born to Zechariah and Elizabeth around the year 3 BCE. Zechariah was a priest in God’s temple. Both Zechariah and Elizabeth faithfully followed God.
For many years, they had no children. But in their old age, an angel named Gabriel came to Zechariah and told him that he and Elizabeth would soon have a baby boy. They were to name this baby John.
Gabriel the angel told Zechariah some very special things about their son. Gabriel said, “He will be a joy and delight to you. His birth will make many people very glad. He will be important in God’s eyes. Your son will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the time he is born.
“He will bring many of Israel’s people back to God. He will prepare the way for the Lord. He will have the same spirit and power that Elijah had.”
But Zechariah did not believe Gabriel. “How can I be sure this will happen?” Zechariah asked. “Elizabeth and I are old.”
Because Zechariah did not believe God’s message from Gabriel, Zechariah was not able to speak until after John was born. Zechariah had to write down anything he needed to say as he continued to serve God in the temple.
The time came for John to be born. Elizabeth’s neighbors and relatives shared her joy that God had blessed her with a son. As was the Jewish custom, Elizabeth and Zechariah took baby John to the temple on the eighth day after he was born to be circumcise d.
This was also a time when the baby would be given his name. The people wanted the baby to be named after his father Zechariah. But Elizabeth spoke up “No,” she said. “He must be called John.”
The people motioned to Zechariah. They gave him a tablet so he could write down what he wanted to name his son. Zechariah wrote on the tablet, “He must be called John.” Right away, Zechariah could speak again. His first words praised God. The people wondered who John would grow up to be.
John was filled with the Holy Spirit from the time he was born. He grew up strong. As the angel Gabriel had directed Zechariah, John never drank wine or other alcohol. John lived in the desert wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
As an adult, John became a powerful prophet of God. In the countryside around the Jordan River, John preached that people should be baptized and repent of their sins. John’s actions and words fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah given nearly 750 years earlier. John was sent by God to prepare the people for the coming Savior. John was to point the people to the Messiah John was a strong outdoorsman and a strong preacher for the Lord. John ate locusts and wild honey. He wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt, like Elijah the prophet had so many years before. John warned the people of God’s punishment if they did not obey Him. John preached that people should be baptized and turn away from their sins. Then God would forgive them.
John baptized many people who admitted that they were sinful. This is how he received the name John the Baptist. John baptized many in the Jordan River.

John’s preaching angered many of the Jewish leaders of the time. The Roman king named Herod (whom the romans appointed) did not like John either because John pointed out to him the evil things he did as king.
But the Holy Spirit made John strong to boldly tell God’s truth to all who would listen. Many of the people wondered if John himself might be the Savior God promised to send. But John told all the people something very, very important. John said, “I baptize you with water. But One who is more powerful than I will come. I’m not worthy to untie the straps of His sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
In Isaiah 40:3–5, the Old Testament prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of John the Baptist. “A voice of one calling: ‘In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God’” (Isaiah 40:3 NIV). The New Testament Gospel of Luke repeats Isaiah’s words as Luke tells of the work of John the Baptist (Luke 3:4–6). John the Baptist came to prepare the way for Jesus the Savior.
Words of Hope
“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38 NIV)
At the time when Elizabeth was pregnant with John, a young woman named Mary lived in a small village called Nazareth. Mary and Elizabeth were cousins. Mary was engaged to marry a man named Joseph. In Bible times, being engaged or betrothed was a serious vow that was not to be broken.
One day when Mary was at home, suddenly God’s angel Gabriel stood before her. This was the same angel Gabriel who had visited Zechariah, Elizabeth’s husband. Gabriel announced to Mary, “Greetings, one loved by the Lord! God is with you.” Mary was confused. She did not know why an angel would visit her.
Gabriel said, “Do not be afraid, Mary. God has chosen you to be the mother of His Son. You will name Him Jesus. He will be called the Son of the Most High.”
Mary asked the angel, “How will this happen? I am a virgin so how can I have a baby?”
Gabriel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you. Your son will be called the Holy One of God. Nothing is impossible with God.”
Mary replied, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let it happen to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
Mary was happy she was going to be the mother of the Savior God had promised. She also wondered what Joseph would think of all of this. Would he believe what the angel had said? But God took care of everything. Joseph had a dream in which an angel spoke to him. The angel told Joseph, “Don’t be afraid to take Mary to be your wife. This baby is God’s Son. You will name Him Jesus because He will save His people from their sins.” Joseph did as the angel said. Mary and Joseph got married. Joseph brought Mary into his home.
About that time Caesar Augustus, the Roman emperor, decided to have everyone registered and counted.
He did this to find out how many people lived in his kingdom so he could collect taxes from them. Every person was ordered to return to the town of his ancestors.
So Joseph traveled from Nazareth to the town of Bethlehem because he was from King David’s family. Joseph and Mary made this long journey when it almost time for the baby Jesus to be born. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the city was already crowded with other people who had also traveled there to register. There was no room for Mary and Joseph to stay in the inn. Instead, Mary and Joseph found a place to rest. It was in an unusual place, especially for a woman about to have a baby. Mary and Joseph rested in a stable, a place where people kept their animals. There in the stable, Mary gave birth to Jesus. She wrapped Him in soft cloths and laid Him in a manger, the feeding box for the
In the fields outside of Bethlehem the night Jesus was born, shepherds were out taking care of their sheep. Suddenly an angel stood next to the shepherds. The shepherds were surrounded with the light of God’s glory. The shepherds were terrified. Then the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid! I bring you great news that is for all people. On this very day, in the city of David, a Savior has been born for you! He is Christ the Lord! Look for this sign: a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Then all at once, the sky was fi lled with angels all praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest! May God give peace on earth to men with whom He is pleased!”
shepherds, they said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this wonderful thing that God has told us!” The shepherds hurried into Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph. They found the baby Jesus lying in a manger.
When the shepherds had seen Jesus, they told others about the wonderful visit of the angels and what they said about the Child. Everyone was amazed by what the shepherds told them. Mary remembered all these things and treasured them in her heart.
The shepherds returned to their fields. They praised God and gave Him glory because all they had seen was exactly as the angel had told them.
Gospel Connection
From the time of Adam and Eve, God promised a Savior for His people. This Savior is Jesus. Jesus was born in Bethlehem as prophesied by Micah: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times” (Micah 5:2 NIV).
Words of Hope
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10–11 NIV)

When Jesus was 40 days old, Mary and Joseph brought Him to the temple in Jerusalem. According to the laws that God gave to Moses, whenever a child was born, a gift and a sacrifice had to be made. Usually a lamb and a dove were brought as gifts to God. However, if a family was poor, two doves could be brought.
As Mary and Joseph brought Jesus and two doves to the temple, a man named Simeon was led by the Holy Spirit to come into the temple. Simeon was a righteous man who loved God. When Simeon saw Jesus, he took Him into
his arms. Simeon praised God. He said, “Lord, now Your servant can die in peace. My eyes have seen the salvation that You have made for all people. He is a light to bring Your promises to the whole world.”
In the temple that day there was also a prophetess named Anna. Anna had lived at the temple for many, many years. Every day and every night Anna prayed and fasted. When Anna saw Jesus, she gave thanks to God. Like Simeon, she knew Jesus was the Savior that God had promised to send to the world long ago.
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, some Wise Men from a country far to the east saw a magnificent star that suddenly appeared. They knew this star marked the birth of new king among God’s people, the Jews. These Wise Men journeyed for hundreds of miles to Jerusalem. When they arrived, they went to the palace of King Herod, who was the current Roman ruler over that part of the Roman empire.
The Wise Men asked King Herod, “Where is the child who was born to be the King of the Jews? We have followed the star that rose when He was born and we have come to worship Him.”
When King Herod heard the Wise Men’s questions, he was very upset. He ordered the chief priests and the teachers of the law to search God’s Word to find out where the Christ was going to be born. The priests and teachers told King Herod, “God’s Word says that the Christ will be born in Bethlehem in Judea. The prophet Micah wrote,
‘Bethlehem, you will also be an important town in Judea because from you will come a ruler. He will be the shepherd of My people.’”
King Herod called the Wise Men to secretly come see him. The king sent the Wise Men to Bethlehem. He told them, “Go and search for the child. As soon as you find Him, bring me a report. Then I can go and worship Him too.” But King Herod was lying. He wanted to kill Jesus because he was jealous of anyone else who was called king in his country. The Wise Men left Herod, and the star led them to the house where Jesus was. When they saw Him and Mary His mother, the Wise Men bowed down and worshiped Him. They gave Jesus very special gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
After their visit, God warned the Wise Men in a dream not to go back to King Herod. They left to go home to their own country by another route. After the Wise Men left, Joseph was also warned about King Herod’s plans by an angel of
God in a dream. The angel told Joseph, “Get up, take the child and Mary and go quickly to Egypt. There you will be safe from Herod.”
That very night Joseph took Mary and Jesus and went to Egypt. The family stayed there in Egypt until Herod died. Then they returned with Jesus to their hometown of Nazareth. In Nazareth, Joseph worked as a skilled carpenter. As Jesus grew, He helped Joseph in the carpenter’s shop. Jesus went with the other boys in the village to the synagogue for studies. There in Nazareth, Jesus grew up. He gained wisdom and strength. God’s love and blessings were upon Him.
Joseph took Mary and traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover Feast. At the Passover Feast, the Jewish people remembered how many years before in the time of Moses, God had protected them from the angel of death when He rescued them from slavery in Egypt. When Jesus was twelve years old, He went with His family to the temple in Jerusalem as was the custom.
The distance from Nazareth to Jerusalem was nearly 70 miles. It took several days to walk there. In Jerusalem, Jesus and His family spent the week with other family members and friends who were also there to celebrate the Passover. When it was time to make the long journey home, Mary and Joseph set out for Nazareth. They thought that Jesus was in the crowd traveling with them. But Jesus had stayed in the city. After traveling for a day, Mary
and Joseph looked for Jesus in the crowd, but they did not find Him. So Mary and Joseph went back to Jerusalem to search for Jesus.
On the third day, they found Jesus. He was sitting in the temple with the teachers. Jesus was listening to the temple teachers. He asked them many questions. Everyone who heard Jesus was amazed at how much He understood. It was very clear to the temple teachers that Jesus could explain many things about God and God’s Holy Word, even though Jesus was only twelve years old.
When Mary and Joseph saw Jesus, they were amazed. Mary said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried about You. We have searched for You everywhere.” Jesus replied, “Why were you looking for Me? Didn’t you know that I belong here in My Father’s house?” But Mary and Joseph did not understand what Jesus meant.
Then Jesus left Jerusalem with His parents. Mary kept all these things in her heart. Together they returned to Nazareth. Jesus obeyed His parents in all things. He continued to grow taller and wiser. He gained the approval of God and men.
Gospel Connection
Simeon, Anna, and the Wise Men were led by God to recognize that young Jesus was the promised Savior. At age twelve, Jesus called the temple “His Father’s house.” With these words, Jesus says that God is His heavenly Father. As Jesus grew, so did His knowledge and wisdom as God’s Son, just as the prophet Isaiah foretold: “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD” (Isaiah 11:2 NIV).
Words of Hope
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1:14 NIV)
BIBLE TIMELINE (BC/BCE) (AD/CE)
John the Baptist is Born Jesus Christ the Savior Born Jesus is Baptized Jesus Grows in Wisdom
Jesus Is Baptized
Matthew 3:13–17; Mark 1:9–13; Luke 3:21–23; John 1:32–34
When Jesus was 30 years old, it was time for Him to begin His public ministry. One day, He came to the Jordan River where His cousin John was baptizing. Jesus went over to him and asked John to baptize Him.
But John said to Jesus, “You don’t need to be baptized. I need to be baptized by You.” John knew that Jesus was God’s own Son. But Jesus insisted, “I want you to baptize Me. This is how it must be to carry out God’s holy plan.”
So John baptized Jesus. When Jesus came up from the water, something very special happened. Up in the sky, it was as if a gate to heaven opened wide. The Holy Spirit came down on Jesus like a dove.
Then a voice from heaven spoke. God the Father said, “This is My Son. I love Him. I am very pleased with Him.”
John the Baptist told everyone, “This is God’s great Messenger. This is the One I have been telling you about!.”
After Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit sent Him out into the desert. There Jesus prayed to God. He fasted for 40 days. While Jesus was in the desert, the devil came to tempt Him. The devil tried to get Jesus to abandon His plan to save God’s people. The devil wanted Jesus to follow him instead.
Jesus used God’s Holy Word to combat every one of the devil’s temptations. When the devil left, angels came to take care of Jesus.
Gospel Connection
When John the Baptist was born, his father Zechariah prophesied that John would go before the Savior to prepare the way for Him (Luke 1:76). When Jesus was baptized, God proclaimed that Jesus was His Son. Despite being tempted by the devil, Jesus never sinned. He kept God’s Law perfectly for us. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice needed to save all people from their sins.
Words of Hope
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.

The next day after Jesus was baptized, John the Baptist saw Jesus walking by. John said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” Two of John’s followers heard what he had said. They left John and followed Jesus.
When Jesus noticed the men who followed Him, He turned around and said to them, “What do you want?” The men asked, “Rabbi, where are you staying?” The word Rabbi means “teacher.”
“Come,” Jesus replied. “You will see.” So the two men went and saw where Jesus was staying. They spent the entire day with Him. One of the two men was Andrew. Andrew then went to his brother Simon Peter. Andrew told Peter, “We have found the Messiah.” The word Messiah means “Christ.” Andrew brought Peter to Jesus.
When He saw Peter, Jesus said to him, “You are Simon, son of John. You will be called Cephas.” Cephas means “rock,” which is the name Peter in the Greek language.On the following day, Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter. Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One that Moses wrote about, as well as the prophets. He is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Come and see.” And Nathanael followed Jesus.
Jesus lived near a large lake called the Sea of Galilee. One day as He was walking by the shore of the lake, He saw some fishing boats and some men in them. The fishermen had big nets and used them to catch fish.
Jesus called on them and said, “Come and follow Me, and I will teach you how to fish for men.” Immediately the men left

their boats and nets and followed Jesus. These followers of Jesus were called disciples because of the special way they followed Jesus and devoted their lives to Him. Jesus taught His disciples many things so that later they could teach His message to others.
Soon after, Jesus met other men whom He also called to follow Him. In all, Jesus called twelve men to be His disciples. These men were Simon (also called Peter), James and John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot would later betray Jesus. During the next three years, these twelve men followed Jesus everywhere as they traveled to many places.
Gospel Connection
When Jesus called the first disciples, He revealed to them that He is the promised Messiah, “the anointed One,” whom God sent to save the world from sin, death, and the devil.

Jesus and some of His disciples were invited to a wedding in a town named Cana. Jesus’ mother Mary was also invited. At the wedding, many friends and relatives were celebrating. Delicious food and wine was served. People danced and sang. Everyone was happy as they celebrated with the bride and groom who had just been married.
As the party went on, Mary came to Jesus with some bad news. Mary told Jesus, “I have found out that the wine is all gone. There is no more to serve.”
Jesus said to His mother, “Dear woman, why do you bring Me into this?. My time has not yet come.”
Mary then said to the servants at the wedding party, “Do whatever He tells you.”
Nearby stood six large stone ja rs. Each jar could hold between 20 and 30 gallons of water. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” The servants filled each jar to the very top.
Then Jesus directed the servants, “Take some out and give it to the man in charge of the feast.” The servants did as Jesus said. The man in charge of the feast took a drink of the liquid the servants brought him. It wasn’t water anymore! Jesus used His power as true God to change the water into wine. The man in charge of the feast did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who had filled the jars with water and dipped the wine out of the jars knew. The man in charge of the feast called the groom over to talk with him. The man told the groom, “Everyone serves the best wine first. Then, when people have had enough to drink, they serve the wine that is not as good. You, however, have saved the best wine for now.”
What Jesus did was a miracle. Jesus’ miraculous sign showed His
power as true God. This was Jesus’ first miracle. Jesus showed His glory by doing it. Jesus’ disciples put their faith in Him.
After the wedding celebration, Jesus and His disciples went to Capernaum. Jesus’ mother and His brothers went with them. They stayed there for a few days.
As it was almost time for the Passover Feast, Jesus went to Jerusalem. When He arrived at the temple, Jesus found people selling oxen, sheep, and doves. Other people were sitting at tables, exchanging money.
Jesus made a whip out of cords and drove the sheep and oxen out of the temple area. He overturned the tables of the money changers and scattered the coins. When He saw people selling doves, Jesus said, “Take these away! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a market!”
Then the Jews asked Jesus, “What sign will You do to show us that You have the authority to do these things?”
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple and in three days, I will raise it up.”
The Jewish leaders replied, “It has taken 46 years to build this temple. You say You are going to build it again in three days?”
But Jesus wasn’t talking about the temple building; He was talking about His own body. After Jesus rose from the dead, His disciples remembered what He had said. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words that Jesus had spoken.

Gospel Connection
Through Jesus’ miracle at the wedding, Jesus showed His power as true God. Later in the temple, Jesus prophesied that He would be killed but that three days later, He would rise from the dead. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, sin, death, and the devil have been destroyed, as God promised.

Jesus Heals a Man with an Evil Spirit
Mark 1:22–28; Luke 4:31–37
Another time, Jesus and those with Him went to Capernaum. On the Sabbath day, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. The people were amazed at Jesus’ teaching. He taught with authority.

Then a man in the synagogue cried out. He was controlled by a demon, an evil spirit. At the top of his voice he cried out, “Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are. You are the Holy One of God!”
“Be quiet!” Jesus firmly said to the demon. “Come out of him!”
The evil spirit violently shook the man and threw him down in front of everyone. Then the evil spirit came out of the man with a scream.
All of the people were amazed. They said to one another, “What is this teaching? With authority and power Jesus gives orders to evil spirits. And they obey Him!”
News about what Jesus had done quickly spread throughout Galilee.
Gospel Connection
Speaking with authority, Jesus’ words caused the demon to leave the man in the synagogue. By the power of Jesus’ authoritative Word and Spirit, we are brought out of the eternal death caused by our sins and into saving faith and eternal life.
Words of Hope
[Jesus said,] “Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth.”
he church leaders in the Jewish temple were angry and jealous when they heard about Jesus’ miracles and that He was gaining more and more followers, even more than John the Baptist. So Jesus left Judea for a while and went back to Galilee. In order to get to Galilee, Jesus and His disciples had to go through the region of Samaria. Jewish people did not want to associate with the people of Samaria who were called Samaritans. Neither group liked the other. The Jews actually thought that the Samaritans were unclean and that if they associated with them, they would become unclean too.
To avoid contact with Samaritans, Jewish people would often take a longer route so they would not have to walk through Samaria.
Jesus and His disciples came to a town in Samaria named Sychar. This was near the plot of ground that Jacob had once given to Joseph. Jacob’s well was located just outside of Sychar. It was about 12:00 noon. Jesus was tired from the journey, so He sat down by the well. His disciples went into Sychar to buy food.
While Jesus was sitting at the well, a Samaritan woman came there to get some water. Jesus said to her, “Will you give Me a drink?”
The woman replied, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can You ask me for a drink?”
Jesus answered the woman, “If you knew the gift of God and Who it is who asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.”
“Sir,” the Samaritan woman said, “You have nothing to use to take any water out of the well and the well is deep. Where can You get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his flocks and herds of animals?”
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. In fact, the water

I give him will become a spring of water leaping up in him to eternal life.”
The woman said to Jesus, “Sir, give me this water so I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming back to the well to get more.”
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
“I don’t have a husband,” the woman replied.
Jesus said, “You are right when you say you do not have a husband. You have had five husbands and the man you are living with now is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
“Sir,” the woman said, “I can tell that You are a prophet. I know that the Messiah is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
Then Jesus declared, “The One who is speaking to you is the Messiah.”
Just then, Jesus’ disciples returned and were surprised to see Jesus talking with a woman. But no one asked Jesus any questions about it.
The woman left her water jar at the well and went back into town. She said to the people, “Come, and see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ ?” Curious, the people followed her back to Jesus.
Meanwhile the disciples urged Jesus, “Teacher, eat something.”
But Jesus said to them, “I have food to eat that you know
nothing about.” The disciples did not understand what Jesus said. They thought someone else had brought Him some food.
Then Jesus explained to His disciples, “My food is to do God’s will. God sent Me to finish His work.”
Many of the Samaritans in Sychar believed in Jesus because of what the woman told them. When they came to Jesus, they asked Him to stay in their town. Jesus stayed there for two days. Because of Jesus’ words, many more people came to believe in Him.
The people said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you have said. We believe because we have heard for ourselves that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

Jesus began to teach the people by the side of the Sea of Galilee. The crowd that gathered to hear Jesus teach was so large that Jesus got into a boat and put it out from the shore. This way the people could listen to Him from the shore.
Jesus taught the people using special stories called parables The special stories told the people important truths about God.
Jesus told a parable about a farmer who was planting his crop. With a big bag of grain seed, the farmer went out into the field and tossed the seed here and there, all over the ground.
Jesus said, “As the farmer planted his seeds, some of them landed on the path. The birds came and ate up all this seed. Some of the seeds the farmer planted fell where the ground was rocky. It did not have much soil in which to grow. Immediately the seeds sprang up because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, it burned up the new plants. The new plants withered away because they did not have deep roots.”
Jesus continued, “Other seeds the farmer planted fell among thorns. When the thorns grew up, they choked out the new plants from the seeds so they did not produce a good crop.”
Then Jesus said, “But some of the seeds the farmer planted fell on good soil. These seeds grew up and produced a good crop, with thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much grain as was planted.”
Later, when Jesus was alone with His disciples and some other people, they asked Jesus about His story. Jesus answered, “This story is really about how some people listen to what I have to teach. The seeds are God’s Word. The four different types of soil are the four different kinds of people who listen to Me.”
Jesus explained, “Some people don’t listen to My Word at all. Their hearts are hard like the ground on the path. The devil comes and takes God’s Word away. God’s Word never takes root in these people’s hearts. They do not believe.
“Other people gladly listen to God’s Word at first. But then they quickly lose interest in it. They are like the rocky soil. Because their faith is not strong, like plants without strong roots, they quickly fall away from the faith when troubles or problems come. Their faith never grows but dries up like a plant in the hot sun.
“There are other people who are like the soil with thorns. At first their faith is healthy. But when the worries of this world come to them or when they are lured by false promises, God’s Word is crowded out, like the thorns which crowd out the plants from the seed.”

Then Jesus said, “Then there are people whose hearts are like the good soil. These people listen to what I teach them about God. God’s love grows in their hearts and becomes stronger and stronger. Their faith produces many, many good things.”
Gospel Connection
When we are baptized, the Holy Spirit puts faith in Jesus in our hearts. Throughout our lives as we hear God’s Word and partake in Holy Communion, the Holy Spirit grows and strengthens our faith so we can proclaim God’s truth and share the love of Jesus with others.

After Jesus had spent all day teaching about God and His kingdom at the Sea of Galilee, it was late in the evening. Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So Jesus and His friends left the crowd on the shore and set sail across the Sea of Galilee. Other boats sailed along with them. Suddenly, a wild storm came up. The strong wind caused great waves to crash over the side of the boat and fill it with water. But Jesus was sleeping on a cushion in the back of the boat.
Jesus’ disciples were terrified. They woke Jesus and cried out, “Lord! Save us! We’re going to drown!”
Jesus got up. He said to the disciples, “Why are you afraid? Your faith is so weak.”
Jesus ordered the wind to stop. Jesus said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Immediately the wind stopped blowing. It was completely calm.
The disciples were filled with great fear and amazement at the miracle Jesus had done. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him!”
Gospel Connection
Jesus is true God and has control over all things, including nature. His power knows no bounds. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus alone stopped sin’s eternal hold on us. At all times and in all situations, we can trust in Jesus’ power and strength.

Jesus Heals Jairus’ Daughter
Matthew 9:18–19, 23–26; Mark 5:21–24, 35–43; Luke 8:40–42, 49–56
After Jesus calmed the fierce storm, He and His disciples safely made it to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. A crowd gathered to welcome Him. Jesus spent time there teaching and healing.
After a while, Jesus sailed back across the lake. Again, a crowd gathered to welcome Him. In the crowd was a man named Jairus. Jairus was a synagogue ruler. He came to Jesus and knelt at His feet.
Jairus pleaded with Jesus. “My little girl is dying,” the synagogue ruler said. “Please come and lay Your hand on her so that she will live.” This was Jairus’ only daughter. She was twelve years old.
As Jesus made His way to Jairus’ house, a messenger came. He said, “Jairus! Your daughter is dead. Do not bother Jesus anymore.” When Jesus heard this, He said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just believe. She will be healed.”
Jesus continued to Jairus’ house. Peter, James, and John were with Jesus. When they arrived, there was a large crowd of people who were loudly crying. Sad songs were being played on flutes. Jesus said to the people who were mourning the death of Jairus’ daughter, “Do not cry. The child is not dead. She is sleeping.”
But the mourners laughed at Jesus. They could see that the little girl was really dead. Jesus went straight to the room where the dead child lay. He took Peter, James, and John and the girl’s parents with Him. Jesus went over and took the girl by the hand. Jesus said in Aramaic, “Talitha koum!” These words mean, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
Immediately the girl’s spirit returned to her and she stood up. Jesus told them to give her something to eat. The girl’s parents were amazed. But Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
Gospel Connection
Through the raising of Jairus’ daughter, we see the power Jesus has all over all things, including physical death. Because Jesus conquered sin, death, and the devil for us through His own death and resurrection, we need not fear physical death, for Jesus assures us that all who believe in Him have eternal life.
Words of Hope
Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” (Luke 8:50 NIV)
Matthew 14:13–21; Mark 6, 30–44; Luke 9:10–17; John 6:1–15
Jesus went around from village to village teaching and healing people. After a time He sent out His twelve disciples in pairs. Jesus gave them the power to drive out evil spirits as well as to teach and to heal people.
When His disciples returned to Jesus, they told Him all they had done and taught. But there were so many people around them that they did not even have a chance to eat. So Jesus said to them, “Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place. You need to get some rest.” So they sailed across the Sea of Galilee to a quiet place.
But by the time Jesus and His disciples arrived there, another crowd had gathered. When Jesus saw the people, He felt great concern for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So Jesus began to teach them many things.
Soon the day had passed. The disciples came to Jesus and said, “There is no food here to eat. It’s already very late. Send the people away so they can go and buy something to eat in the nearby villages.”
But Jesus answered, “You give them something to eat.” Jesus asked Philip, “Where should we buy food for all these people?” Jesus knew what He was going to do, but He asked Philip this question to test him.
Philip answered, “Even if someone worked for eight months, he would not have enough money to give each man even a bite.” Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother said, “Here is a boy who has five loaves of bread and two small fish, but what is that among so many people?”

Jesus took the five loaves and th e two fish. As He looked up to heaven, Jesus blessed the food and gave thanks to God for it. Then Jesus broke the bread and fish into pieces and gave it to His disciples. The disciples gave the food to all the people. After everyone had as much to eat as they wanted, twelve baskets of leftover food were gathered up.
Then Jesus told the disciples, “Pick up the bread and fish that are left over. None of it should be wasted.” When they were finished, the disciples had collected twelve baskets full of pieces of bread and fish!

The people saw the miracle that Jesus did. They began to say, “This must be the Prophet who is supposed to come into the world.” But Jesus knew that they wanted to force Him to be their earthly king. So Jesus went away again to a mountain by Himself.
Gospel Connection
Through His miracle meal, Jesus fed the physical needs of many people. As true God and our Savior, Jesus feeds all of our needs: physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Words of Hope
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty.”

to His disciples. Jesus told these close friends that He would soon suffer many things. Jesus told them that He would be killed and after three days He would rise again. This news was hard for the disciples to understand and accept.
Then one day, Jesus took Peter, James, and John the brother of James with Him. They went up a high mountain. They were all alone. Suddenly, there in front of the three disciples, Jesus’ appearance changed. His face shone like the sun. His clothes were as bright as the light.
Then Moses and Elijah appeared in front of them. Jesus, Moses, and Elijah talked together about Jesus’ coming death. This would soon happen in Jerusalem. Peter, James, and John had been very sleepy. But when Jesus’ appearance changed, they became wide awake. They saw Jesus’ glory. They saw Moses and Elijah too.
As Moses and Elijah were leaving Jesus, Peter said, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters. One will be for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” Peter really didn’t know what to say. The three disciples were very afr3aid.
Then a cloud appeared and surrounded them as they were together on the mountain. A voice came from the cloud. It said, “This is My Son, and I love Him. Listen to Him!”
The disciples looked around. Suddenly they saw no one else there with them except Jesus.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered Peter, James, and John not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. The disciples kept the matter to themselves. But they wondered what “rising from the dead” might mean.
Gospel Connection
On the mountaintop as He stood and talked to Moses and Elijah, Jesus’ glory was revealed to Peter, James, and John. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled the Law given to Moses and sacrificed His life so we could be saved from the death we deserved for our sins. Jesus restored our connection with God that our sins had broken. When Jesus returns to earth, all will see His glory as true God, God’s Son, and our Savior and Redeemer.
Words of Hope
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. (Hebrews 1:3a NIV)

As Jesus continued to teach and preach, many people came to ask Him questions. But some people asked questions to try to trick Jesus and catch Him saying something wrong. So quite often, Jesus answered these tricky questions by telling a story.
One day, one of the religious leaders in Israel came to Jesus and asked Him, “What must I do to receive everlasting life?” Jesus
The religious leader answered, “Love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul, and with all of your strength, and with all of your mind. And, love your neighbor as yourself.”
Jesus said to the man, “You a re right. Do this and you will live forever in heaven.”
The religious leader wanted to show others how good he was, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
To answer him, Jesus told this story.
Jesus began, “A man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. Some robbers were watching from the side of the road. They attacked the man. They robbed him, beat him up, and left him beside the road to die. Soon, a priest from Jerusalem came by. He saw the hurt man, but looked the other way and kept on walking by without helping him. Not long after, another man who worked in the temple came by. He also saw the hurt man. But like the priest, he looked the other way and kept on walking by without helping the man.”
Jesus continued, “Then a man from Samaria came down the road.” (Jews and the people from Samaria did not get along. They tried to avoid each other.) “But the Samaritan felt sorry for the man who was hurt. He stopped and got off his donkey. The Samaritan bandaged the man’s wounds and took him to an inn. He took care of him. When he had to leave, he promised the innkeeper to pay whatever it would cost

for the man to get well again.”
When Jesus finished His story, He asked the religious leader, “Tell Me, which of these men acted like a good neighbor to the man who was robbed and beaten?” The religious leader replied, “The one who helped him, the man from Samaria.”
Jesus then said, “Go and do as he did.”
Gospel Connection
Jesus’ story illustrates the kind of caring and sacrificial love Jesus Himself showed us and which He helps us to show others.
Words of Hope
He asked Him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:28b–31 NIV) 30 30
Throughout Jesus’ ministry on earth, He told many stories that explained God’s forgiving love. Jesus said, “A shepherd had one hundred sheep. Every evening when they returned home, the shepherd carefully counted all his sheep before he locked them behind the fence to keep them safe for the night from wild animals.
“But one evening when the shepherd returned home, he counted only 99 sheep. The shepherd knew a sheep had wandered away. It was getting dark. The shepherd locked the 99 sheep inside the fence and went out to look for the lost sheep. The shepherd looked everywhere. Suddenly, he heard the lost sheep crying. The shepherd rushed to find it. When he found the sheep, the shepherd placed it on the back of his shoulders and carried it home.”
Jesus then said, “God is this good shepherd. If someone is lost from Him, God will search and search to find him and bring him back again. There is more joy in heaven when one lost sinner is found and comes back to God and asks for forgiveness, than over 99 people who do not wander away.”
Jesus told another story about the joy that comes when something lost is found again. Jesus said, “Imagine a woman has ten coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and clean the house thoroughly, looking in every crack until she finds it? And when she finds it you can be sure she will call her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I have found my lost coin!’”
“In the same way,” Jesus continued, “God’s angels are happy when even one person returns to God.”
Then Jesus told another story about a lost son. Jesus said, “There was a wealthy man who had two sons. The younger son wanted to leave his father and his home to go far away and enjoy life on his own. So the younger son said, ‘Father, give me the money I will get when you die. I want to spend it now!’
“The father was very sad, but he gave the money to him. The young man took the money and went to live far away in another country. He made many new friends by inviting them to wild parties. He had an easy life, but then, he ran out of money. His new friends left him without giving him any help.
“A great famine came and the only job he could find was feeding pigs. The young man was so poor
“The young man said to himself, ‘Even the servants of my father have more food than I have here in my misery. I will go back home and ask my father if I can work as a servant for him.’
“As the young man approached his father’s house, he saw his father running down the road to meet him. Every day since his son had left, the father had watched and hoped that his son would return. When he saw his younger son approaching, the father’s heart was filled with great joy.
“The father hugged and kissed his son. The son said, ‘Father, I have sinned against God and against you. I am not good enough to be your son anymore. Can I be one of the servants here in your house?”
“But the father replied, ‘No, you cannot be a servant here. You are my son! I am so glad that you are home again.’ Then the father told his servants, ‘Quickly bring the best robe for my son. Bring our family ring and put sandals on his feet.
“‘Kill the fattened calf and make a feast. We will rejoice together. We will have a big party and celebrate. My son was dead and now he is alive again. He was lost and now he is found!’
“But the older son was very angry and refused to come into the feast. His father came to him and encouraged him to join the celebration. But the older son said, ‘Father, I have worked for you all these years. I never disobeyed you, but you never even gave me a young goat to have a little party with my friends. Now this son of yours comes home after he spent all your money with wild women and parties. You even killed the fattened calf for him!’

At nearly every place to which Jesus traveled, people came to Him and asked Him to heal them or their loved ones. Once when Jesus was in the area of Tyre and Sidon, a Greek woman from Canaan who lived near there came to Jesus and cried out, “Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on me! A demon controls my daughter. She is suffering and miserable.”
Jesus did not say anything to the woman. His disciples came to Him and begged, “Send her away. She keeps crying out after us.”
Then Jesus said to the woman, “You are not Jewish. I was sent to help God’s children of Israel. It’s not right to take the bread meant for them and to throw it to their dogs.”
The woman replied, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from the master’s table.”
Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith. I will answer your prayer.” At that very time the evil spirit left her daughter and she was healed.
Another time Jesus traveled on the border of Galilee and Samaria. As He was going into a village, ten men met Him. These men had a disease called leprosy, which caused terrible sores all over their bodies. Because leprosy could be easily spread to other people, the men had to live outside of the village away from their families and friends. When the men saw Jesus, they cried out, “Jesus! Master! Have pity on us!
Jesus saw the ten men and said, “Go. Show yourselves to the priests.” While they were on their way, the ten men were healed. Their skin was clear and healthy once more.
One of the men, as soon as he saw that he was healed, turned around and ran back to Jesus. He praised God with a loud voice. He
k nelt at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him. This man was from Samaria.
Jesus asked, “Didn’t all ten men become healthy again? Where are the other nine? Why didn’t anyone except this outsider return to give thanks?” Then Jesus said to him, “Go. Your faith has made you well.”
Some time later, Jesus approached Jericho. A man who was blind sat on the side of the road and begged for money. The man heard the crowd going by. He asked what was going on. The people told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
So the blind man called out, “Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me.” The people around the man tried to make him quiet down. But the man who was blind called out even louder, “Son of David! Have mercy on me.”
Jesus stopped and ordered that the man be brought to Him. “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The man answered, “Lord, I want to be able to see.”
Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see. He followed Jesus and praised God. All the people who saw it praised God with him.
As true God, Jesus has the power to heal us from the spiritual sickness of sin and to heal physical illness and disease. Through faith in Him, Jesus removes the spiritual blindness caused by our sins so that we can thank, praise and worship Him as our Savior.
Words of Hope
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. (Psalm 103:2–3 NIV)

One time when Jesus was teaching, He described His love for people in this way. Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd. Any sheep who wants to come into the sheep pen must come through Me.
“I open the door for the sheep who are listening for My voice. My sheep know My voice and follow Me. I know all of My sheep by name. I call to them. I walk ahead of My sheep and My sheep follow Me because they know My voice.”
Jesus continued, “Any sheep that come into My sheep pen will be safe. I will give them life. Robbers try to come into My sheep pen, but My sheep won’t listen to them. Robbers come to steal and kill.
“I have come so that My sheep will have life and have it to the full. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
“A hired hand will not take care good care of the sheep. He will run away when a wolf comes. A hired hand does not care if a wolf takes a sheep or makes them run away. I take care of My Father’s sheep.
“I have other sheep that I will bring into My fold. They will all become one big flock of sheep. My Father loves Me because I will give My life for all of My sheep.
“I will give My life willingly. I have the power to give it, and I have the power to take My life back again.
“My sheep know My voice and they follow Me. I will give them everlasting life. They will never be lost. No one can take My sheep out of My hand.”
Jesus is our Good Shepherd and we are His sheep. He keeps us safe from evil and loves us so much that He gave His life for us on the cross. Through faith in His death and resurrection, we belong to Him forever.

Jesus loves children. Many times throughout His earthly ministry, He showed His special care for them. One time when Jesus was once again in Cana in Galilee, a royal official came to Him. The official’s son was sick and close to death in Capernaum. The official came to Jesus and begged Him to come and heal his son.
Jesus said to the official, “Go home. Your son will live.” The official believed Jesus’ words and began his journey home. As he traveled, his servants met him. “Your son is well,” they said.
T he official asked, “At what time did he begin to get better?” The servants replied, “The fever left him yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoon.” The official remembered that was the time when Jesus said his son would live. The official and his family became believers in Jesus.
At another time when Jesus returned home to Capernaum, He asked His disciples what they had discussed along the way. The disciples were ashamed to admit that they were arguing about who was the greatest among them.
Then Jesus called a little child to stand near Him. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Humble yourselves like this child. If you welcome a child like this in My name, you welcome Me.”
Later, some people brought little children and babies to have Jesus touch them and pray for them. But Jesus’ disciples tried to keep the children away from Him because they did not want them to bother Jesus.
When Jesus heard this, He was very upset with His disciples. Jesus saw them trying to send the children away. Jesus said, “No!
You must let these little children come to Me. I tell you this, if you are not going to be like these small children, you will never understand God’s kingdom. Let the little children come to Me. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them.” Jesus placed His hands on the children and blessed them.

Jesus Shows His Love for Children Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead Jesus and Zacchaeus
esus often visited two sisters who lived in a town outside of Jerusalem called Bethany. The two sisters were named Mary and Martha. They also had a brother named Lazarus. One day, Lazarus became very sick. Mary and Martha sent a message to Jesus to come and see Lazarus and heal him.

When Jesus heard that His good friend Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two more days. Then He said something strange to His disciples. Jesus said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I will go and wake him up.”

The disciples said, “If he is sleeping, he will get better.” Jesus meant that Lazarus had died. So He told the disciples plainly, “Lazarus has died. I am glad that I was not there so that you may believe in Me. Now we will go to Him.”
When Jesus and His disciples reached Bethany, Lazarus’ body had already been in a tomb for four days. Since Bethany was so close to Jerusalem, many Jews had come to visit Mary and Martha to comfort them because of the death of their brother. Martha ran to meet Jesus, but Mary stayed at home. Martha told Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. Even now, I know that God will do whatever You ask Him.”

Martha said, “Yes, I believe that You are the promised Savior, God’s own Son who has come into the world.”

When Jesus saw Mary crying and all those with her also crying, He was filled with sadness. “Where have you laid him?” Jesus asked. “Come and see,” they answered. Then Jesus wept.
Some people said, “See how much Jesus loved Lazarus.” But others said, “If He could make blind people see, surely He could also have kept Lazarus from dying.”
Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave with a big rock rolled in front of its entrance. Jesus said,
“Roll the stone away!” Martha said, “But Jesus, Lazarus has been dead four days. There will be a horrible smell!”
Jesus told her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” When they rolled the stone away, Jesus looked up and prayed, “Father, thank You for listening. I know that You always hear Me, but I am saying this so that the people here will believe that You have sent Me.”
Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”
When Jesus had said this, Lazarus, who had been dead, walked out of the tomb. He was alive and perfectly healed. His feet and hands were still wrapped with the linen strips in which he had been buried. A large cloth covered his face. Jesus said, “Unwrap him. Let him go.”
Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary saw what Jesus did. They put their faith in Him.
But some of them went to the Pharisees. They told them what Jesus had done. The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. Afraid that Jesus was gaining too many followers, the Pharisees made plans to kill Jesus and Lazarus.

Gospel Connection
Jesus is life. When He raised Lazarus, Jesus previewed that for all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior, physical death is not final. After Jesus died on the cross, He Himself rose from the dead and lives forever. When Jesus returns to earth someday, the bodies of all who have died will be raised. At this time, the souls of all believers in heaven will each be united with a new, perfect body that will never die.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die.”

Little Rich Zacchaeus
Luke 19:1 – 10
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man named Zacchaeus lived there. Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector who often cheated the people, and he was very rich.
Zacchaeus wanted to see who Jesus was. But because of the large crowd, he could not see because he was not very tall. So Zacchaeus ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus.

When Jesus reached the spot where Zacchaeus was, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down. I must stay at your house today.”
Quickly, Zacchaeus came down from the tree and joyfully welcomed Jesus.
When the people saw this, they began to grumble. “Jesus has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
Zacchaeus said to Jesus, “Look, Lord. Here and now I give half of what I own to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone of anything, I will pay back four times the amount I took.”
Jesus said to Zacchaeus, “Today salvation has come to your house. You are a member of Abraham’s family line. The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
God sent His only Son Jesus from heaven and earth to save all people from their sins. This includes people who others may think are undeserving outcasts. Jesus came not just for the people of Israel, but also for the Gentiles. Through Holy Baptism, we are made members of God’s family and thus are sons of Abraham. Jesus is Lord and Savior of all.
Words of Hope
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”
esus knew the time had come to finish God’s plan to save His people from their sins. He traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover with His disciples.
Early on the Sunday they were to arrive in Jerusalem, Jesus sent two of His disciples ahead of Him with some instructions. Jesus said, “Go into the village ahead of you. When you enter it, you will find a donkey and colt that has never been ridden. Untie them and bring them to Me. If anyone asks you why you are untying them say, ‘The Lord needs them, and He will send them back here immediately.’”
The disciples went into the village and found the animals just as Jesus had told them. As they were untying the donkey and colt, the owners said to them, “Why are you untying our colt and donkey?” The disciples replied, “The Lord needs them.” So the owners let them take the animals.
The disciples brought the donkey and the colt. They put their cloaks on the animals and Jesus sat down on them. The disciples gathered around Jesus. Together they entered Jerusalem. Word quickly spread that Jesus had come to Jerusalem. People ran from everywhere to see Him.
Many of the people in the crowd laid their cloaks upon the road. Others cut down palm branches and leafy branches from the fields and laid them on the road too. The crowds that went before Jesus and those who followed Him shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Jesus went to the temple in Jerusalem. For the next three days, Jesus spent time teaching in the temple. At night, he went
outside of Jerusalem and stayed on the mountain called Olivet.
As Passover drew near, the chief priests and scribes looked for a way to put Jesus to death. Satan entered into Jesus’ disciple, Judas Iscariot. Judas talked with the chief priests about how he might betray Jesus to them. The Jewish officials agreed to give Judas money to betray Jesus so they could arrest Him.
On the fourth day after Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, it was the time for the Passover Feast. Jesus sent His disciples Peter and John into Jerusalem. Jesus said to them, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us.”

“But where shall we prepare it?” Peter asked. Jesus said, “Listen carefully. Go into the city. You will meet a man who carries a water jar. Follow him into the house he enters.
“Say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher is asking where is the guest room where I will eat the Passover meal with My disciples.’ The owner will then show you a large room upstairs. Just go and make it ready for us.” Peter and John went and found it exactly as Jesus said it would be. The two disciples prepared the room for the Passover.
That evening, Jesus and His disciples met in the room to celebrate the Passover. During the meal, Jesus took some of the bread a nd thanked God for it.
While they were eating, Jesus said, “One of you who is eating with me is going to betray Me.”
The disciples were very surprised to hear this. One after another, they asked Jesus, “ Is it I?”
Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it.” Jesus gave the bread He dipped to Judas Iscariot. Jesus said to Judas, “What you are going to do, do quickly!” Judas immediately left.
After Judas was gone, Jesus spoke. “Now the Son of Man receives glory. And He brings glory to God. My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You can’t come where I am going. I give you a new command. Love one another just as I have loved you. If you love one another, everyone will know that you are My disciples.”
Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow You now? I will give my life for You.”
Jesus replied, “Will you really give your life for Me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you don’t know Me.”
As Jesus and the eleven disciples continued to eat the Passover meal, Jesus took some of the bread. He blessed it and broke it into pieces and gave some to each disciple. Jesus said, “Take this and eat it. It is My body, given for you. Do this to remember Me.”
Then Jesus also took a cup of wine. Jesus said, “ This is My blood It is a new covenant that your sins and the sins of many are forgiven. When I am no longer here, you should eat bread and drink wine together. When you do this, remember Me and everything I have taught you.”

Jesus told the disciples, “I am going to heaven to make a place for you. When I come back, I will take you with Me so that we will be together forever. Do not be afraid. I will send the Holy Spirit to you. He will live in you so that you will not be alone. I am going to My Father in heaven, but I will hear you when you pray. If you ask for anything, I will do it for you.”
When they had finished the meal, Jesus and His disciples went to a garden called Gethsemane. Jesus asked the disciples, “Please, stay awake and pray with Me this night.” But the disciples were tired and fell asleep. Jesus was all alone as He went into the middle of the garden to pray. He asked God to give Him strength to carry out the plan to save all people from their sins. As Jesus prayed, an angel came to give Him strength.
Meanwhile, after Judas had left the Passover meal, he went to the Jewish leaders and told them where they could find and arrest Jesus. The leaders sent out soldiers. Judas led them to the garden where Jesus was praying.
When Judas saw Jesus, he went straight to Him and kissed Him on the cheek. This was a sign so that the soldiers would know who to arrest
Then the soldiers grabbed Jesus. Peter saw what was going on and immediately drew his sword to protect Jesus.
With his sword, Peter cut off the ear of the servant of the High Priest. Jesus said, “No Peter, it is not right of you to fight with your sword. I must do what God has planned for Me.” Jesus took the ear of the servant and put it back in place and healed him. As the soldiers arrested Jesus, all the disciples ran away in fear.
The temple soldiers tied up Jesus and led Him to be questioned by Caiphas, the High Priest. Peter followed far behind. The High Priest tried to find false testimony against Jesus so they could put Him to death. Finding none, Caiphas asked Jesus, “Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
“I am,” said Jesus.
But Caiphas and the other Jewish leaders did not believe Jesus. They said to each other, “This man claims to be God’s Son, but He is lying. He is just pretending to be God. Now we have a reason to kill Him.”
While Jesus was being questioned by Caiphas, Peter sat outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him and said, “You
But Peter denied it and said, “I do not know what you mean.”
When Peter went out to the entrance, another servant girl recognized him. She said to those around her, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” Again, Peter denied it and said, “I do not know the man.”
After a while, others came up to Peter and said to Peter, “Certainly, you too are one of them. We can tell by your accent.” A third time Peter said, “I do not know the man.” Immediately the rooster crowed. Peter remember that Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me

three times.” Peter went out and bitterly cried.
The Jewish leaders wanted Jesus to be killed, but only the Roman government had the authority to do this. So before the sun came up, the Jewish leaders brought Jesus to the Roman governor, named Pontius Pilate. Pilate went out to speak with the leaders. “What laws has this man broken?” Pilate asked.
The Jewish leaders replied, “If He were not a criminal, we wouldn’t have brought Him to you.”
“Then take Him and judge this man by your own laws,” Pilate said.
“We are not allowed to put a man to death,” said the Jewish leaders. “But this man makes our
people disloyal. He says that He is Christ, a king.”
Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.”
Pilate said, “So You are a king?”
Jesus replied, “I am not a king of this world. I have come into the world to bear witness to the truth.”
“What is truth?” Pilate said. Then he went out and told the Jewish leaders, “I do not find Him guilty of any crime. But it is the practice for me to set one prisoner free for you at Passover time. Do you want me to set ‘the king of the Jews’ free’?”
“No!” the Jews shouted. “Give us Barabbas!” Barabbas was a notorious robber.
Pilate thought that perhaps the p eople would be satisfied if he punished Jesus, so Pilate had Him whipped. The soldiers twisted thorns together to make a crown. They put it on Jesus’ head. They put a purple robe on Him. They hit Jesus in the face
The crowd continued to yell for Pilate to crucify Jesus. “Should I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
Finally, Pilate gave in and handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.
Many of the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion are part of Old Testament prophecy. The prophet Zechariah foretold of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (Zechariah 9:9), and that Jesus would be betrayed for a payment of 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12). The psalmists wrote that Jesus would be betrayed by a friend (Psalm 41:9), that Jesus would be accused by false witnesses (Psalm 27:12), and that Jesus would be hated without cause (Psalm 69:4). The prophet Isaiah wrote that Jesus would be silent when accused (Isaiah 53:7) and that He would be spat upon (Isaiah 50:6). Jesus suffered all these things because He had a mission to save the people of the world from their sins.

Early on that Friday morning after His arrest and trial, Jesus carried His own cross as He was led by the Roman soldiers out of Jerusalem. Jesus was weak and tired from the beatings the soldiers had given Him. So out of the crowds that had gathered, the soldiers grabbed a man from Cyrene named Simon. The soldiers forced Simon to carry the cross for Jesus.
was about to happen to Jesus. When they reached the hill called Golgotha, “Place of a Skull,” the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross through His hands and His feet. Two robbers were also nailed to crosses there, one robber on each side of Jesus.
Pilate wrote on a sign, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” The sign was put on the cross above Jesus’ head. The words on the sign were written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that everyone who passed by could read it.
Then the soldiers who were keeping watch took Jesus’ clothing and divided it up between them. Jesus’ robe was among the items the soldiers took. This robe was sewn without a seam and was woven from top to bottom. The soldiers said, “Let’s not tear it. Let’s cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This action fulfilled what had been written long before in Psalm 22:18 about Jesus: “They divided My garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.”
As people walked by the three crosses on the way into Jerusalem, they made fun of Jesus. The Jewish leaders said, “He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ of God, His Chosen One!” The soldiers mocked Jesus. They offered Him sour wine to drink and said, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
Even one of the robbers who was crucified with Jesus made fun of Him. The robber said to
Jesus, “Aren’t You the promised Savior? Save Yourself and us!” But the robber on the other cross said, “Aren’t you afraid of God, since you are about to die? We are getting the punishment we deserve. We have done evil things. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then the robber looked at Jesus and said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Jesus promised him, “I tell you the truth. Today you will be with Me in paradise.”
At noon, the sun disappeared and a great darkness came over the whole land. Around 3:00 p.m., Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Then Jesus said, “It is finished.” He took
His last breath and He died. To make sure He was dead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, and blood and water flowed out.
Suddenly the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and rocks split apart. The bodies of holy people who had died were brought back to life. Many people saw them.
When the Roman centurion and the men who guarded Jesus saw the earthquake and the other things that had happened, they were terrified. The centurion said, “Certainly this man was innocent. Truly this man was the Son of God.”
It was now the evening before the Sabbath Day. A rich man named Joseph from Arimathea went to Pontius Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.
Joseph was a respected member of the Jewish council, but he had not agreed to their evil plan to kill Jesus. In fact, Joseph had found hope in Jesus the Messiah.
When Pilate heard Joseph’s request, he was surprised that Jesus was already dead. He ordered that Jesus’ body be given to Joseph so he could bury Hi m.
Joseph brought a linen burial cloth and took Jesus’ body down from the cross. Nicodemus, another follower of Jesus, came and brought a mixture of myrrh and other spices. The men wrapped Jesus’ body in linen cloths along with the spices. Then they laid Jesus in a new tomb in a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucifi ed.
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and Nicodemus and saw the tomb and how Jesus’ body had been laid.
Then the men rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Soon after, everyone left and rested because the Sabbath Day had begun.
The next day, after the Sabbath was over, the chief priests and the Pharisees met. They all went to speak with Pontius Pilate. They said to Pilate, “Sir, we remember when this liar was still alive He
“Give the order to guard the tomb until after the third day. Otherwise His disciples will come and steal His body. Then they will say to the people, ‘See, He has risen from the dead.’ Then this trick will be worse than the first.”
Pilate said to them, “You have temple guards. Send them to watch the tomb and make it as secure as you can.” So the chief priests sent temple guards to Jesus’ tomb. They sealed the stone at the tomb’s entrance to make sure no one rolled it away. Then they guarded the tomb.
Just as many of the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion were foretold by Old Testament prophets, so were many of things that happened when Jesus was crucified. The prophet Isaiah foretold that Jesus would be crucified with sinners (Isaiah 53:12) and that He would be buried with the rich (Isaiah 53:9). The psalmists foretold that the hands and feet of Jesus would be pierced (Psalm 22:16), that He would be mocked and insulted (Psalm 22:6–8), that He would be given gall and vinegar to drink (Psalm 69:21), that He would pray for His enemies (Psalm 109:4), and that soldiers would cast lots for His coat (Psalm 22:18). The prophet Zechariah foretold that Jesus’ side would be pierced (Zechariah 12:10). Jesus sacrificed His life so that we can have a new, eternal life through faith in Him. His death paid the price we owed God for our sins.
Words of Hope
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5 NIV)

Very early in the morning on the third day after Jesus had died, suddenly there was a great earthquake. An angel from God came down from heaven and rolled away the stone that had been placed at the entrance to Jesus’ tomb. Then the angel sat on the stone. He shone as bright as lightning. His clothes were as white as snow. The guards at the tomb were so afraid of the angel that they shook and became like dead men.
Meanwhile, Mary Magdalene and several other women set out for Jesus’ tomb. They brought spices with them so they could finish preparing Jesus’ body for burial. On their way to the tomb the women wondered who would roll the stone away for them from the tomb’s entrance. When they arrived, they saw that the stone had already been rolled away. When the woman entered the tomb, they saw that Jesus’ body was no longer there.
Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside the women. The women were terrified. They bowed down with their faces to the ground.
The men said to the women, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how He told you He would rise. It was while He was still with you in Galilee. Jesus said, ‘The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people. He must be nailed to a cross. On the third day He will rise from the dead.’” Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.

The women ran back into town to tell the eleven disciples what they had just seen and heard. When they heard the women’s news, Peter and John ran to the tomb. Both men saw the strips of linen Jesus in which Jesus had been buried lying in the empty tomb. Peter also saw the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. The cloth was folded up by itself inside the tomb.

Mary Magdalene stood crying outside of the tomb.
When she looked back inside the empty tomb, she saw two angels in white, sitting where Jesus’ body had once been. The angels said to Mary, “Woman, why are you crying?
Mary replied, “They have taken away my Lord and I don’t know where they have laid Him.”
After Mary said this, she turned around. Jesus was standing there, but Mary did not know it was Jesus.
Jesus said to Mary, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
Mary thought that Jesus was the gardener. She said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away.”
Then Jesus said, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to those who believe in Me. Tell them, ‘I am returning to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
Gospel Connection
Jesus told His disciples that He would rise from the dead on the third day after He died. That first glorious Easter Sunday morning, His followers saw proof of this as they encountered the resurrected Savior. If Jesus had not risen from the dead, His suffering and death would have been meaningless. Jesus’ resurrection proves that He is more powerful than anything— even sin, death, and the devil. Because Jesus lives, all who have faith in Him have eternal life.
Words of Hope
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. (1 Peter 1:3 NIV)
Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she told them all that Jesus had said to her. BIBLE
Later on the same day when Mary saw the risen Jesus, two of Jesus’ followers were walking to a village called Emmaus. Emmaus was about seven miles from Jerusalem. The name of one of the men was Cleopas. As the two men walked along, they talked about all that had happened to Jesus over the past three days. As they walked, Jesus came along
and walked with them. But God kept Cleopas and the other disciple from recognizing Jesus.
Jesus asked the two men, “What are you talking about as you walk?”
Cleopas answered him. “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened here?”
“What things?” Jesus asked.
The two men replied, “About Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet. He was powerful in all that He said and did in the eyes of God and all the people. But the chief priests and the rulers handed Jesus over to be crucified. We had hoped that He was the one who would set Israel free. This is the third day since Jesus died.
“Then this morning, our women told us some amazing things. They had gone to the tomb early, but didn’t find Jesus’ body.
The women saw angels who said Jesus is alive. Some of our friends then went to the tomb. They saw that it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”
Jesus said to the two men, “How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets have said! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and then receive His glory?”
Then Jesus explained to them what the Bible says about Him. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.
Soon the two men approached Emmaus. Jesus acted as if He were going farther. But the two men tried to keep Jesus from leaving. They said to Him, “Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So Jesus went in to stay with the men.
Jesus and the two men sat down at the table for supper. Jesus took bread and gave thanks. He broke the bread into pieces and began to give it to them. Suddenly the men’s eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus. But then Jesus disappeared from their sight.
The two men said to each other, “Jesus talked with us on the road. He explained the Scriptures to us. Weren’t our hearts burning inside us during that time?”
The men got up and hurried back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and those with them gathered together. The eleven disciples and the others were saying, “It’s true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon Peter!”
Then the two men told them what had happened to them on the way to Emmaus. They told how they had recognized Jesus when they broke bread together.

Gospel Connection
Jesus’ appearance to Cleopas and his friend on the road to Emmaus provides further proof that Jesus did indeed rise from the dead. Jesus is alive and lives forever!
Words of Hope
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
In the evening of the day when Jesus rose from the dead, His disciples were still talking about what the men on the road to Emmaus had told them. The disciples were gathered together with the doors locked. They were afraid of the Jews.
Suddenly Jesus Himself stood among them. “May peace be with you!” Jesus said. The disciples were frightened. They thought Jesus was a ghost.
Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid? Why do you doubt what you see? Look at My hands
and feet. See, it is really Me. Touch Me and see for yourselves. A ghost does not have muscles and bones, but you can see that I do.”
The disciples looked at Jesus’ h ands and feet. They were so amazed and happy! Then Jesus asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave Jesus a piece of broiled fish and watched Him eat it.
Jesus said to them, “Don’t you remember what I told you when I was with you? I had to do everything that was written about Me in God’s Holy Word. I had to do everything that was written about Me by Moses and the Prophets and in the Psalms.”
Then Jesus helped His followers to understand God’s Holy Word. Jesus told them, “This is what is written. The Christ will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day. His followers will preach in His name. People from every nation will hear it, beginning at Jerusalem.”
Again Jesus said, “May peace be with you! The Father has sent Me. So now I am sending you.” Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
The disciple named Thomas was not there on that night to see Jesus with the other disciples. They later told Thomas, “We have seen the Lord!” But Thomas did not believe
them. He said, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe it.”
A week later, all the disciples were together, including Thomas. Even though all the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them. Jesus said, “May peace be with you!”
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here. See my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to Jesus, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus told Thomas, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen Me but still have believed.”
Gospel Connection
Seeing Jesus’ pierced hands and side gave Thomas the proof he needed to believe that Jesus was truly alive. The Scriptures give us the proof we need that Jesus rose from the dead. The Holy Spirit gives us faith in all the Bible says and helps us to tell others the good news that Jesus is the risen Savior.
Words of Hope
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

As He traveled and lived with His disciples, Jesus taught them about the two possible places where every person will live for eternity, whether after they physically die or when Jesus returns to judge the earth. One of the places is heaven. The other place is hell. Both are very real. Heaven in the place where our Triune God lives. Hell is the place where Satan (the devil) is confined.
Jesus told His disciples a parable. In Jesus’ story there was a rich man who dressed in very fine clothing. This man lived in luxury with lots of money, a fine home, and plenty of good food to eat.
At the gate of this rich man’s home lay a beggar named Lazarus. Lazarus was very, very poor. His body was covered with sores. The dogs came and licked his sores which made Lazarus feel even more miserable. Because Lazarus was sick, he could not work. He depended upon the kindness of the others for food. Every day Lazarus longed to eat the food that fell on the ground from the table of the rich man. But the rich man never gave anything to Lazarus. He did not care about Lazarus or give him any help at all. When Lazarus died, God’s angels came and carried him to heaven. In heaven, Lazarus was no longer sick or hurting. God richly blessed him. In heaven, Lazarus lived next to Abraham. In heaven, Lazarus lived in luxury beyond any on earth.
When the rich man died, he went to hell. In hell, the once rich man no longer lived in luxury. Instead he suffered terribly. The man looked up and saw Abraham far away in heaven with Lazarus beside him. The suffering man called out to Abraham, “Have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in agony here in the fires of hell.”
But Abraham told the man, “Remember in your life on earth you received many good things, while Lazarus had bad things. In heaven, Lazarus is comforted but you are suffering. Besides all this, there is a great separation between where we are in heaven and where you are in hell. No one can go from one place to the other.”
The suffering man said to Abraham, “Then I beg you, send Lazarus to my father’s house to see my five brothers. Have Lazarus warn them so that they will not end up where I am in this place of horrible suffering.”
Abraham said to the suffering man, “Your brothers have God’s Word of the prophets. Let them listen to these words.”
The suffering man replied, “No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent of their sins and be saved from hell.”
Abraham replied, “If they don’t listen to the words of Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”
Jesus wanted His disciples to know that all who believe in Him as their Savior will receive life forever. They will never be separated from God. Their sins will be forgiven and they will someday live with God in heaven.

People who do not believe in Jesus will be condemned to hell. In hell, people are separated forever from God and from His love and grace in Jesus. That is why hell is such a place of suffering.
Gospel Connection
Both heaven and hell are real places. Jesus Christ died on the cross in our place for our sins and then rose again, so that all who believe in Him can live in heaven someday. It is only through faith in Jesus that a person can reach heaven. In heaven, people live in peace and contentment and are with the Triune God forever. People who do not believe in the Triune God will be sent to hell. In hell, there is only suffering and pain. In hell, people are forever separated from God and have no chance to ever be with Him.
Words of Hope
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
For forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared to many people. Jesus even appeared to over 500 people who were gathered together at the same time.
While Jesus was in Galilee, He told His disciples, “Go and make more disciples of people everywhere. Baptize them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do all that I have taught you. I will be with you always to the end of time.”
Jesus knew that it was time for H im to return to heaven. He took His disciples to a hill outside of Jerusalem. Jesus told them, “It’s time for Me to go back to heaven to be with My Father. After I’m back in heaven, you must go back to Jerusalem and wait there until I send My Spirit to you. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. Then you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria. You will be My witnesses from one end of the earth to the other.
After Jesus said this, He began to rise up to heaven. As Jesus rose higher and higher into the sky, the disciples looked up and stared at this sight. After a time a cloud hid Jesus so He could no longer be seen.
For a long time, the disciples stood there silently and looking up at the sky. Suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking up at the sky? Jesus has been taken from you. But He will come back in the same way that you saw Him go.”
After this the disciples returned to Jerusalem. They went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Peter, John, James,
and Andrew were there. Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew were there too. So were James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. They regularly came together to pray. The women who had followed Jesus joined them too. So did Jesus’ mother Mary and His brothers.
Gospel Connection
After completing His mission on earth to save us from our sins, Jesus returned to heaven. He is there now. Until Jesus returns to earth, He has given us the important responsibility to share with others the truth that He is the risen Lord and Savior. He promises to be with us always and to help us love and serve Him and others.
Words of Hope
[Jesus said,] “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

all over the world traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost. During this celebration, the people thanked God for all the wonderful blessings He had given them in the harvest.
In the place where the disciples were gathered there was suddenly heard the sound of a mighty wind. Then the disciples saw in the air above their heads flames of fire that looked like tongues. The disciples were all filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave the disciples the power to speak in languages they had never known how to speak before.
Jews from every country in the world were staying in Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. A crowd came together when they heard the sound of the disciples speaking in so many languages. The people were confused because they heard the disciples speaking in their own language.
Amazed, the people said, “Aren’t all these men from Galilee? Then why is it that we hear them speaking in our native languages? We are from many different places such as Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Egypt, and parts of Libya near Cyrene. Still others are visitors from Rome. Some have accepted the Jewish faith. Cretans and Arabs are also here. We hear all these people speaking about God’s wonders in our own language.” They asked one another, “What does this mean?”
But some people in the crowd made fun of the disciples. They said, “These men have had too much wine to drink.”

Peter then stood up and spoke to the crowd. “My Jewish friends and all who live in Jerusalem,” Peter said. “Let me explain this to you. These men are not drunk. It is only nine in the morning. It is by God’s Holy Spirit that they are able to speak in new languages.”
Peter continued, “Men of Israel, listen to this! Jesus of Nazareth, whom you crucified, was God’s son. He was betrayed and killed by you, but it was according to the exact plans of God. You killed Jesus by nailing Him to a cross. But on the third day, God raised Him up. Death no longer has any power over Jesus. He is alive again and has returned to heaven to live with God. Let everyone in Israel understand this: God made Jesus, Whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
When many of the people in the crowd heard this, they immediately knew in their hearts that Peter was telling the truth. Their hearts were filled with shame. They said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
Peter answered, “Be sorry and turn away from your sins. Be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that you will be forgiven of your sins and receive the Holy Spirit. This promise is for you and for your children. It is also for everyone in the whole world.”
Peter said many other things to warn them. Peter begged those in the crowd, “Stay away from evil people.” All the people who believed what Peter had preached were baptized. More than 3000 people became Christians that day.
The new believers studied what the apostles taught. They ate together. They prayed together. Everyone was amazed by the miracles the apostles did.
The believers shared their belongings with one another. They even sold some of their belongings to help those in need. Every day, the believers met together in the temple courts to study God’s Holy Word and to praise God.

God blessed all the believers. Every day God added more people to the group of those who believed in Him and in Jesus the Savior.
Gospel Connection
Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised His disciples that He would send a Helper to them who would work in them so that the good news of Jesus could be spread. The Helper Jesus sent is the Holy Spirit. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit gave Jesus’ disciples the ability to speak in many languages. Unlike what happened thousands of years earlier at the tower of Babel, at the Pentecost celebration, people who were from different places could understand what the disciples said. The Holy Spirit works in the hearts of all believers to give them joy and peace in Jesus and to help them powerfully share the truth of Jesus with others.
Words of Hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13 NIV)
After the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the number of people who believed in Jesus as their Lord and Savior continued to grow. This made many of the Jewish people very angry. One of these Jewish people was a man named Saul. Saul was there when Jesus’ apostle Stephen was stoned to death by the Jewish leaders for preaching that Jesus was the prophet

and Savior, whom God sent to establish a new covenant with His people. Saul had agreed that Stephen should die.
After Stephen’s death, Saul continued to work against Jesus’ followers. He went to the high priest in Jerusalem and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus. Saul wanted to find the men and women there who followed Jesus. The letters he asked for would allow him to put them in prison.
Saul set out for Damascus. As he neared the city, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. Saul fell to the ground. A voice spoke to him and said, “Saul! Saul! Why are you working against Me?”
As he lay on the ground, Saul asked, “Who are You, Lord?”
“I am Jesus,” the voice replied. “I am the one whom you are working against. Now get up and go into the city. There you will be told what you are to do.”
The men traveling with Saul stood there. They could not speak. They heard the sound but they did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground. But when he opened his eyes, he could not see. So his friends led him by the hand into the city of Damascus. For three days Saul was blind. During this time he was so upset that he did not eat or drink anything.
Meanwhile in Damascus there was a believer in Jesus named Ananias. Jesus called to him in a vision. “Ananias!” Jesus said.
“Yes, Lord,” Ananias answered.
“Go to the house of a man named Judas who lives on Straight Street,” Jesus told him. “Ask for a man from the city of Tarsus named Saul. Saul is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias who will come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
“Lord,” Ananias answered. “I’ve heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to Your believers in Jerusalem. He has come here from Jerusalem with authority from the chief priests to arrest all those who worship You.”
But Jesus said to Ananias, “Go! I have chosen this man to work for Me. He will carry My name to the Gentiles and to their kings. He will

speak the truth about Me before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for Me.”
Then Ananias went to the house on Straight Street and went inside. As he placed his hands on Saul, Ananias said, “Brother Saul, Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here has sent me to you so, that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. Saul got up and was baptized. After he ate some food, he regained his strength.
Saul spent several days with the others in Damascus who believed in Jesus. Then he went to preach in the synagogues there and taught the Jewish people that Jesus is the Son of God. Everyone who heard Saul preach were amazed. They asked, “Isn’t this the man who used to cause great trouble for those who believed in Jesus?” God made Saul more and more powerful. His words proved to the Jews living in Damascus that Jesus is the Christ.
After many days had gone by, some jealous Jews planned to kill Saul. But Saul learned of their plan. To save him, one night Saul’s followers helped him escape by lowering him in a basket through an opening in the city wall of Damascus.
Saul came to Jerusalem, but those there who believed in Jesus were afraid of him. They didn’t believe that Saul was really one of Jesus’ followers. So a man named Barnabas took Saul to the apostles. Barnabas explained to them about Saul’s journey and how Jesus Himself had spoken to Saul. He told them how Saul had boldly preached in Jesus’ name in Damascus.
So Saul stayed in Jerusalem w ith the other believers in Jesus. There he again spoke boldly in Jesus’ name. When the Jews there wanted to kill Saul, the other believers took Saul to Caesarea and then sent him to Tarsus where he would be safe. Barnabas and Saul began to travel to many
places to tell people the truth of Jesus. Saul also became known as Paul and was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Despite Saul’s initial hatred for Him, Jesus had great plans for him. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Saul was brought to faith in Jesus as his Savior. God used Saul (Paul) to travel to many lands to tell many people the truth of salvation. Jesus was with Paul wherever he went. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are given faith in Jesus. Jesus uses us to tell others the truth that He has died and rose to save all people from their sins.
Words of Hope
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

In Prison and Freed
Acts 15:22–41; 16:1–40
Paul and Barnabas traveled to many different places, teaching and preaching the Word of God. After a time the church leaders sent two other men along with Paul and Barnabas to help them. Their names were Judas Barsabbas and Silas. Eventually, Paul and Barnabas decided to go their separate ways. Paul and
Silas continued on together. They traveled to Syria and Cilicia. Paul gave strength to the churches there. They also traveled through Phrygia, Galatia, and then on to the Roman colony of Philippi in Macedonia.
One day in Philippi as Paul and Silas were going to the place of prayer on the banks of the Gangites River, they were met by a female slave. This slave had a spirit inside of her that helped her to predict the future. She earned a lot of money for her owners by fortune-telling. The woman followed Paul and Silas around. As she followed them she shouted, “These men serve the Most High God. They are telling you how to be saved.” For many days the woman continued to proclaim this wherever Paul and Silas went.
Finally Paul became upset. He turned around and said to the spirit in the woman, “In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to come out of her!” At that very moment the spirit left her.
The slave’s owners realized that the woman could no longer make any money for them. So they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place to face the authorities. They brought Paul and Silas to the judges. The slave owners said, “These men are Jews. They are making trouble in our city. They are suggesting that we do things that are unlawful for us Romans to do.”

The crowd joined the attack against Paul and Silas. The judges ordered that the two men be stripped and beaten. Paul and Silas were whipped without mercy. Then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was told to carefully guard them. The jailer put Paul and Silas deep inside the prison. He put their feet into stocks so they could not get away.
About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying. They were also singing hymns to God. The other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a powerful earthquake which shook the prison from top to bottom. All at once all the doors in the prison flew open. The chains of all the prisoners came loose.
The jailer woke up. When he saw that the prison doors were opened, he feared that the prisoners had escaped. As he pulled out his sword to kill himself, Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
The jailer called for some lights. He rushed in, shaking with fear. He fell down in front of Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and asked them, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Paul and Silas replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus. Then you and your family will be saved.” Paul and Silas told the jailer and all the people in his house about Jesus. The jailer took Paul and Silas and washed their wounds. Then immediately the jailer and his entire family were baptized. The jailer brought Paul and Silas into his house and fed them. The jailer and his whole family were filled with joy because they had come to believe in God.
Early in the morning the judges sent their officers to the jailer. They ordered him to let Paul and Silas go. The jailer told Paul, “The judges have ordered me to set you and Silas free. You can leave now. Go in peace.”
But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us in public. We weren’t given a trial. And we are Roman citizens! They threw us into prison. And now they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come here themselves
When the judges found out that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they became afraid. They came to the jail themselves and apologized to Paul and Silas. They led them out of prison and asked them to leave Philippi. When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to the house of Lydia, one of the Christians who lived in Philippi. There they met with her and the other believers. They told them to be brave. Then Paul and Silas left Philippi.
Even though Paul and Silas had been whipped and imprisoned, God gave them the strength to continue to trust in Him and to praise Him. When we face trials and troubles because of our faith, God promises to be with us and to give us the strength we need to continue to proclaim the truth of Jesus.
Words of Hope
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Before Jesus died, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, He told His disciples about some signs or events that would happen before His promised return to earth. The Bible calls the time of Jesus’ return “the end of the age.” Jesus wants everyone to be prepared for His return by believing in Him as their risen Lord and Savior.
អ្ននកណានា�អ្ននករាល់គ្នាា�ឱ្យវិង្ហើើ�ង
Jesus said, “Keep watch! Be careful that no one fools you. There will be many people who come and say they are speaking the truth in My name. Some will even say that they are Me. But do not be fooled by them.
“You will hear about wars. People will also talk about future wars. Don’t be afraid. Those things must happen. But the end still isn’t here. Nations will fight against nations. There will be earthquakes and famines in many places.
“Watch out! Because you believe in Me, you will face difficult times. But as you stand before kings and leaders, you will tell them about Me. The Gospel must be preached to all nations before the end comes. You will be arrested and brought to trial. But don’t worry about what to say. Just say whatever God brings to your mind at the time. It is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
“You will see much destruction. Those days will be worse than any others from the time God created the world until now. At that time someone may say to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ!’ False prophets will appear. They will do signs and miracles and try to fool God’s chosen people. Keep watch! I have told you everything ahead of time.
“In those days there will be much suffering. The prophet Isaiah said, ‘The sun will be darkened. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. The heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
“At that time, people will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds. He will come with great power and glory. He will send His angels. He will gather his chosen people from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. Heaven and earth will pass away. But My words will neve r pass away.”
Jesus also told His disciples, “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all His angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All people will be gathered before Him. He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. When you
did kind things for others, you did these things for Me.’
“Then the King will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. When you did not help those in need, you did not help Me.’
“Those who did not follow me will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Jesus also said, “No one knows the day or hour when the Son of Man will return. Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows. What I say to you I say to everyone, ‘Watch!’”
No one knows when Jesus will return to earth. Though the times until then will be hard, Jesus promises to give us the strength we need to get through them. Jesus wants those who believe in Him as their risen Lord and Savior to be assured that they are saved through faith in Him. As we trust in His Words that “will never pass away” (Mark 13:31), we will know the truth and we will be able to continue to proclaim Jesus’ saving love until we are taken to heaven to live with Him forever.
Words of Hope
So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Hebrews 9:28 NIV)

The disciple and apostle of Jesus named John wrote many letters to different churches all over the world. Late in his life, he was forced to stay on a small island called Patmos. The enemies of Christians hoped by placing him there that he would no longer be able to speak of the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
One day as John lived on Patmos,

Jesus came and appeared to him in a vision. In this very special experience, John was suddenly able to see right into heaven, where God is. Jesus was showing John what heaven is like. John wrote down what Jesus showed him. These writings are part of the book of the Bible called Revelation.
In the vision John saw Jesus dressed in a splendid white robe. He saw God seated on His throne surrounded by many angels. He saw a great number of people from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, all dressed in white robes. The people were holding palm branches as they worshipped God. They proclaimed, “Holy, holy, holy is God the Almighty.”
Later in the vision, John saw a new heaven and a new earth. There God was making His home with His people. In this wonderful, perfect place there is no more sickness, death, crying, grief, or pain. The people there will live with God in a big beautiful city with streets like polished gold and buildings made of shimmering gold and glass. In the middle of the city flows a beautiful river. Along the river are trees with wonderful fruits growing on them.
In heaven there will never be night. God’s children will not need a light or the sun because God Himself is the light and will shine on them forever. The most wonderful and amazing thing about heaven is that God will live there with His people forever. Jesus is in heaven right now, preparing a place for

God gave us the Ten Commandments to help us live a good life that is pleasing to Him because He loves us and cares for us. They serve as a curb to help prevent us from doing sinful acts, as a mirror to show us our sins, and as a guide to teach us what a God-pleasing life is like and what we should and should not do according to His will.
The difference between the Law and the Gospel:
The Law explains what God demands of us and shows us how badly we fail to reach the standard that He has set. We can never earn our salvation or a place in heaven through the Law because God requires that we follow it perfectly, which is impossible for us to do.
The Gospel reveals God’s loving care for us and the way of salvation that He provides for sinners through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, thy God, in vain.
We should fear and love God that we may not curse, swear, use witchcraft, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.
The Third Commandment
Thou shalt sanctify the holy day.
We should fear and love God that we may not despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred, and gladly hear and learn it.
The Fourth Commandment
Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother (that it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long upon the earth).
We should fear and love God that we may not despise nor anger our parents and masters, but give them honor, serve, obey, and hold them in love and esteem.

The Eighth Commandment
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
We should fear and love God that we may not deceitfully belie, betray, slander, or defame our neighbor, but defend him, (think and) speak well of him, and put the best construction on everything.

The Ninth Commandment
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house. We should fear and love God that we may not craftily seek to get our neighbor’s inheritance or house, or obtain it by a show of (justice and) right, etc., but help and be of service to him in keeping it.
The Tenth Commandment
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his.
We should fear and love God that we may not estrange, force, or entice away our neighbor’s wife, servants, or cattle, but urge them to stay and (diligently) do their duty.
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples how to pray.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; one holy Christian Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Zechariah 8:7- Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.
God’s Word - The Bible - is for you, the people of all nations and races. God’s Word for You tells the true history of God’s people with archeological evidence of the things that happened long time ago. God’s people throughout time have preserved the Word of God and passed it from generation to generation.
As you read God’s Word For You, which is a short summary of the Bible with colorful Mangainspired graphics, you will learn about God’s beautiful Creation, how sin came into this world and destroyed God’s good plan for mankind. God is full of love and compassion for all people, even while they were still sinners. He has promised to save them from punishment in hell through His only Son, Jesus Christ, who suffered and died on the cross for the sins of everyone. This is the Good News, which is the main purpose of the whole Bible: to tell people of every nation and race of God’s love and forgiveness for them all.

Jesus died for each one of us because of God’s grace and mercy, not because of how good we are. Jesus, the Son of God, loves you and has come to help sinners – those who are lost, sick, lonely, and those who need love and forgiveness (1 Timothy 2:4). He understands the pains, struggles and sufferings you are going through. He wants to help you and be your friend.
We pray that the Holy Spirit will help you to understand God’s Word, His Good News and receive great blessings of love, peace and joy in your life in having Jesus as your true friend.
