Day 31: Luke 20 - 22

New Testament in 90 days reading for day 31.

Luke 20

36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
47 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

Luke 21

1 Then Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,
2 and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
3 “Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
4 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
5 As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,
6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
8 Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.
9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”
10 Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
12 But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.
13 This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.
14 So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.
15 For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.
17 And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.
18 Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.
19 By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.
20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near.
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country stay out of the city.
22 For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.
23 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people.
24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.
26 Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
29 Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
31 So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
34 But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.
35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.
36 So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 Every day Jesus taught at the temple, but every evening He went out to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
38 And early in the morning all the people would come to hear Him at the temple.

Luke 22

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
6 Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.
8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.
10 He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,
11 and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
12 And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
13 So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
16 For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.
21 Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
22 Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
23 Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
24 A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them would be considered the greatest.
25 So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.
26 But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.
28 You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.
29 And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,
30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat.
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
33 “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”
34 But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.
36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
