(…) Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Then lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw the crowds that were coming to him, and said to Philip,
“Where shall we buy bread so that these people may eat?” He said this to test Philip, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him,
“Two hundred silver coins would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece.”

One Sabbath Jesus had gone to eat a meal in the house of a leading Pharisee, and he was carefully watched.
Jesus then told a parable to the guests, for he had noticed how they tried to take the places of honor.
And he said, “When you are invited to a wedding party, do not choose the best seat.
It may happen that someone more important than you has been invited; and your host, who invited both of you,

Gospel: Luke 14:1-6
One Sabbath Jesus had gone to eat a meal in the house of a leading Pharisee, and he was carefully watched.

Gospel: John 3:31-36
He who comes from above is above all; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth, and his words belong to the earth.
He who comes from heaven speaks of the things he has seen and heard; he bears witness to these things, but no one accepts his testimony.
Whoever does receive his testimony acknowledges the truthfulness of God.

Gospel: Luke 13:31-35
At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and gave him this warning, “Leave this place and go on your way, for Herod wants to kill you.”
Jesus said to them, “Go and give that fox my answer: ‘I drive out demons, and I heal today and tomorrow,
and on the third day I finish my course!’ Nevertheless, I must go on my way today, and tomorrow, and for a little longer;
for it would not be fitting for a prophet to be killed outside Jerusalem.

Gospel: Luke 6:12-16
At this time, Jesus went out in to the hills to pray, spen­ding the whole night in prayer with God.
When day came, he called his disciples to him, and chose twelve of them, whom he called ‘apostles’:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas;
James son of Alpheus and Simon called the Zealot; Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who would be the traitor.

Gospel: John 3:16-21
Yes, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life.
God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the world is to be saved. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned.
He who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Gospel: Luke 13:18-21
And Jesus continued, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?
Imagine a person who has taken a mustard seed, and planted it in his garden.
The seed has grown, and become like a small tree, so that the birds of the air shelter in its branches.”
And Jesus said again, “What is the kingdom of God like? Imagine a woman who has taken yeast,

Gospel: Luke 13:10-17
Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath and a crippled woman was there.
An evil spirit had kept her bent for eighteen years, so that she could not straighten up at all.
On seeing her, Jesus called her and said, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”

Gospel: John 3:7b-15
Because of this, don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again from above.’ The wind blows where it pleases and you hear its sound,
but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like that with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus asked again,
“How can this be?” And Jesus ­answered, “You are a teacher in Israel, and you don’t know these things!
