Jesus Page #5

My house?

Who'd want to stay in his house?

How does Zaccheus know Jesus?

Listen.

I give half of my belongings to the poor,

and if I have cheated anyone,

I will pay him back four times as much.

I don't believe it. A tax collector

paying back his taxes. Impossible.

Salvation has come to this house today.

For this man also is a

descendent of Abraham.

The Son of Man came to

seek and to save the lost.

Listen.

We are going to Jerusalem,

where everything the prophets wrote

about the Son of Man will come true.

He will be handed over to the Gentiles.

They will mock Him, and treat

Him shamefully and spit on Him.

He will be whipped and killed.

But on the third day, He will rise.

And Jesus resolutely took

the road for Jerusalem.

Rabbi, command your disciples to be quiet.

I tell you that if they were to be quiet,

the stones themselves would begin shouting.

Peace, honor, health.

If only, on this your day you

had known the path for peace,

but you have failed to see it.

The days will come when your enemies,

will build ramparts to surround you

and hem you in

pressing hard from every side,

and within these walls they will

destroy you. You and your children,

and they will not leave one

stone upon another in you,

because you did not recognize

the time of your visitation.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

21, 22, 23, 24, 25...

It is written, My house

shall be a house of prayer.

But you have turned it

into a den of thieves.

He's heading for my animals.

Stop him.

Stop him.

Get the guards.

Get the guards.

I understand that many have

already hailed Him as King.

A King? A King of beggars,

whores, and thieves.

We've seen His like before.

They come, they make their claims,

they go. They're forgotten.

Don't be blind. His following

is growing by the day.

The people admire Him...

...And think He is a King.

Let me give you a warning.

If this Man should

threaten the peace further,

I shall look to you.

Perhaps he's right. It's time

we confronted the Galilean.

And as the hypocritical section

of the scribes and Pharisees

came increasingly under His attack,

So His following among the Jews grew.

And so did the opposition

from those He condemned.

I tell you, that this poor widow

put in more than all the others.

For the others offered their gifts from

what they had to spare of their riches.

But she, poor as she is,

put in all the living that she had.

Tell us, what right do You have

to say these things?

Who gave You such right?

Now let me ask you a question.

Tell Me, did John's right to

baptize come from God or from man?

What shall we say?

If we were to say, From God,

He will say, Why then,

don't you believe John?

But if we say, From man,

this whole crowd here will stone us.

They're all convinced

that John was a prophet.

We don't know where it came from.

Neither will I tell you then by

what right I do these things.

There was once a man who

planted a vineyard,

Rented it out to some tenants,

and then left home for a long time.

When the time came to gather the grapes,

he sent a slave to the tenants,

to receive from them

his share of the harvest.

But the tenants beat the slave

and sent him back without a thing.

So he sent another slave.

But the tenants beat him, too,

treated him shamefully and

sent him back without a thing.

Then he sent a third slave.

But the tenants wounded him, too,

and threw him out.

Then the owner of the vineyard

said to himself,

What shall I do?

I will send my own dear son.

Surely they will respect him.

But when the tenants saw him coming,

they said to one another,

This is the owner's son.

Let's kill him and

his property will be ours.

So they threw him out of

the vineyard, and killed him.

What, then, will the owner of the

vineyard do to those tenants?

He will come and kill those men

and give the vineyard

over to other tenants.

What, then, does this Scripture mean?

The stone which the

builders rejected as worthless,

Turned out to be

the most important stone of all.

Everyone who falls on that

stone will be cut to pieces.

And if that stone falls on someone,

it will crush him to dust.

Teacher, we know that what

You say and teach is right.

We know that You pay no

attention to man's status,

But You teach the truth

about God's will for man.

Tell us, is it against our law

for us to pay taxes to

the Roman emperor or not?

Show Me a silver coin.

Whose face and name are these on it?

Caesar.

Then give to Caesar the

things that are Caesar's,

and give to God the things that are God's.

Now the festival of

unleavened bread drew near,

which is called The Passover.

And Jesus sent Simon Peter and John ahead

to prepare the Passover meal.

I have wanted so much

to eat this Passover meal

with you before I suffer.

For I tell you, I will never eat it until

it is given its full meaning

in the kingdom of God.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord,

our God, King of the universe,

Who brings forth fruit from the vine.

Take this and share it among yourselves.

For I say to you, I will not

drink of the fruit of the vine

until the kingdom of God comes.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord,

our God, King of the universe,

who brings forth bread from the earth.

This is My body which is given for you.

This do in remembrance of Me.

This cup is the new testament in My blood,

which is shed for you.

But behold, the person who will

betray Me is here at this table.

And truly the Son of Man must die

as God has determined,

But woe unto that man

by whom He is betrayed.

It can't be.

Impossible.

Name the traitor, Lord?

The greatest one among you

must be like the youngest.

And the leader must be like the servant.

For who is greater?

The one who sits down to eat?

Or the one who serves?

The one who sits down, of course.

But I am among you as one who serves.

You have stayed with Me

all through My trials.

And just as My Father has

given Me the right to rule,

So I will give you the same right.

You will eat and drink

at My table in My kingdom.

And you will sit on thrones to

rule over the 12 tribes of Israel.

Then there is no traitor.

Simon, Simon, behold,

Satan has desired to test all of you,

to separate the good from the bad

as a farmer separates the wheat

from the chaff.

But I have prayed for you, Simon,

that your faith may not fail.

And when you have turned back to Me,

you must strengthen your brethren.

Lord, I am ready to go to prison with You,

and to die with You.

I tell you, Peter,

the cock will not crow today

before you deny three times

that you know Me.

When I sent you out without

purse or bag or shoes,

did you lack anything?

No, not a thing.

But now, whoever has a

purse or bag must take it.

And whoever has no sword must

sell his mantle and buy one.

For I tell you,

it is written in the Scriptures,

And He was reckoned

among the transgressors.

And what was written about

Me is coming true.

Look, Lord, here are two swords.

That is enough.
