Now ¹  one of the experts in the law ²  came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus ³  answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus answered, “The most important is: ‘Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

The expert in the law said to him, “That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him. ¹ 

Now ¹  as Jesus ²  was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!” ³ 

While they were at the table ¹  eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, ²  one of you eating with me will betray me.” ³ 

Then ¹  he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake for one hour?

One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, ¹  cutting off his ear.

So he went and worked for ¹  one of the citizens of that country, who ²  sent him to his fields to feed pigs. ³ 

So ¹  he contacted ²  his master’s debtors one by one. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

It would be better for him to have a millstone ¹  tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea ²  than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. ³ 

Then ¹  he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days ²  of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, ¹  and the man named Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He walked up ²  to Jesus to kiss him. ³ 

Then ¹  one of them ²  struck the high priest’s slave, ³  cutting off his right ear.

And after about an hour still another insisted, ¹  “Certainly this man was with him, because he too is a Galilean.” ² 

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John said ¹  and followed Jesus. ² 

Jesus replied, ¹  “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?” ² 

You people ¹  are doing the deeds of your father.” Then ²  they said to Jesus, ³  “We were not born as a result of immorality! ⁴  We have only one Father, God himself.”

He replied, ¹  “I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing – that although I was blind, now I can see.”

Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, ¹  “You know nothing at all!

You do not realize ¹  that it is more to your advantage to have one man ²  die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.” ³
