⁴² Jesus said to them, ^(A)“Have you never read in the Scriptures:

⁴³ Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God ^(C)will be taken away from you and given to a people ^(D)producing its fruits. ⁴⁴ And ^(E)the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and ^(F)when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”^[b]

⁴⁵ When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.

²⁹ But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, ^(A)because you know neither the Scriptures nor ^(B)the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither ^(C)marry nor ^(D)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. ³¹ And as for the resurrection of the dead, ^(E)have you not read what was said to you by God: ^32 (F)‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

^54 (A)But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” ⁵⁵ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day ^(B)I sat in the temple ^(C)teaching, and you did not seize me. ⁵⁶ But ^(D)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” ^(E)Then all the disciples left him and fled.

¹⁷ And ^(A)the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,

²⁰ And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and ^(I)sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were ^(J)fixed on him.

²⁵ And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ^26 (A)Was it not necessary that ^(B)the Christ should suffer these things and enter into ^(C)his glory?” ²⁷ And ^(D)beginning with ^(E)Moses and ^(F)all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸ So they drew near to the village to which they were going. ^(G)He acted as if he were going farther, ²⁹ but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and ^(H)the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. ³⁰ When he was at table with them, he took the bread and ^(I)blessed and broke it and gave it to them. ^31 (J)And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And ^(K)he vanished from their sight. ³² They said to each other, ^(L)“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he ^(M)opened to us the Scriptures?”

⁴⁴ Then he said to them, ^(A)“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, ^(B)that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” ⁴⁵ Then ^(C)he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said to them, “Thus ^(D)it is written, ^(E)that the Christ should suffer and on the third day ^(F)rise from the dead, ⁴⁷ and that ^(G)repentance for^[a] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ^(H)in his name ^(I)to all nations, ^(J)beginning from Jerusalem.

^39 (A)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and ^(B)it is they that bear witness about me, ⁴⁰ yet ^(C)you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

³⁵ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be ^(A)broken— ³⁶ do you say of him whom ^(B)the Father consecrated and ^(C)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because ^(D)I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? ^37 (E)If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; ³⁸ but if I do them, ^(F)even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that ^(G)the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
