Now ¹  the spirits ²  gathered the kings and their armies ³  to the place that is called Armageddon ⁴  in Hebrew.

Then ¹  he came to his hometown ²  and began to teach the people ³  in their synagogue. ⁴  They ⁵  were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?

Then ¹  large crowds came to him bringing with them the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others. They ²  laid them at his feet, and he healed them.

As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives ¹  sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. ²  He placed ³  his hands on every one of them and healed them.

After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising ¹  God for what had happened.

“This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put ¹  my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,” ² 

because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” ¹ 

If ¹  anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths ²  and completely consumes ³  their enemies. If ⁴  anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way.

When ¹  they have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will make war on them and conquer ²  them and kill them.

You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes are not gathered ¹  from thorns or figs from thistles, are they? ² 

“Brother ¹  will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against ²  parents and have them put to death.

Now when Jesus learned of this, he went away from there. Great ¹  crowds ²  followed him, and he healed them all.

They will throw them into the fiery furnace, ¹  where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

and throw them into the fiery furnace, ¹  where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Leave them! They are blind guides. ¹  If someone who is blind leads another who is blind, ²  both will fall into a pit.”

And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, ¹  he sent them into his vineyard.

Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”

Finally he sent his son to them, ¹  saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. ¹ 

So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.
