Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
He told them this parable.
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
They remembered his words,
While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
They came near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”
He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”
Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
The same came to him by night, and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Isaiah 54:13 Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.
He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Psalm 119:45
He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.
Where I go, you know, and you know the way.”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
“I have yet many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’ ? We don’t know what he is saying.”
Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’
I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”
But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
The word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.
As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
