Bible Verses About The Christ Jesus

So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.

Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down

and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,

to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

which You have prepared in the sight of all people,

a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
