And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, What sort of a spirit of the Lord [has] spoken in you?

And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and take him away to Semer the keeper of the city;

And Micaiah said, If you ever return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.

And they asked Baruch, saying, Where did you write all these words?

And Baruch said, Jeremiah told me from his [own] mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.

Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem approached Jesus, saying,

He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God on account of your tradition?

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing [Him], they asked Him to show them a sign out of heaven.

And in the morning, 'Today [will be] stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' Hypocrites! Indeed you know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

Now as He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?"

The baptism of John--where was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they were arguing among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

So they answered Jesus and said, "We do not know." And He said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might trap Him in His speech.

Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

Show Me the tax money." So they brought Him a denarius.

They said to Him, "Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him, and they questioned Him,

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died, after having married, and having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother.

Last of all the woman died also.

Jesus answered and said to them, "You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

Then someone from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

And he reasoned within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, because I have nowhere to gather my crops?'

And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry."'

So [is] he who accumulates treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

Then one said to Him, "Lord, are there few who are saved?" And He said to them,

When once the Master of the house has risen up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open for us,' and answering He will say to you, 'I do not know you, where you are from.'

But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.'

And they will come from the east and the west, and the north and the south, and will recline [to eat] in the kingdom of God.

And while they were continuing questioning Him, rising up, He said unto them, "He who is without sin among you, let him [be the] first to cast a stone at her."

Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"

[Then] they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a remarkable thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!

Since eternity past it was unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of [one] having been born blind.

This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

I have seen a man who seemed to himself to be wise; but a fool had more hope than he.

A rich man is wise in his own conceit, but an intelligent poor man will condemn him.

For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.

Be of the same mind toward one another. Not minding the high things, but associating with the humble. Do not become wise in your own opinion.
