1 “At that time God’s kingdom will be like ten girls who went to wait for the bridegroom. They took their lamps with them. 
2 Five of the girls were foolish, and five were wise. 
3 The foolish girls took their lamps with them, but they did not take extra oil for the lamps. 
4 The wise girls took their lamps and more oil in jars. 
5 When the bridegroom was very late, the girls could not keep their eyes open, and they all fell asleep. 
6 “At midnight someone announced, ‘The bridegroom is coming! Come and meet him!’ 
7 “Then all the girls woke up. They made their lamps ready. 
8 But the foolish girls said to the wise girls, ‘Give us some of your oil. The oil in our lamps is all gone.’ 
9 “The wise girls answered, ‘No! The oil we have might not be enough for all of us. But go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 
10 “So the foolish girls went to buy oil. While they were gone, the bridegroom came. The girls who were ready went in with the bridegroom to the wedding feast. Then the door was closed and locked. 
11 “Later, the other girls came. They said, ‘Sir, sir! Open the door to let us in.’ 
12 “But the bridegroom answered, ‘Certainly not! I don’t even know you.’ 
13 “So always be ready. You don’t know the day or the time when the Son of Man will come.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins 
1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 
2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 
3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 
4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 
5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 
8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ 
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ 
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

The Parable of the Tenants (God Sends His Son) - ERV 
 
9 Then Jesus told the people this story: “A man planted a vineyard. He leased the land to some farmers. Then he went away for a long time. 
10 Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent a servant to those farmers so that they would give him his share of the grapes. But they beat the servant and sent him away with nothing. 
11 So the man sent another servant. They beat this servant too and showed no respect for him. They sent the servant away with nothing. 
12 So the man sent a third servant to the farmers. They hurt this servant badly and threw him out. 
13 “The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What will I do now? I will send my son. I love my son very much. Maybe the farmers will respect my son.’ 
14 When the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the owner’s son. This vineyard will be his. If we kill him, it will be ours.’ 
15 So the farmers threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him. 
“What will the owner of the vineyard do? 
16 He will come and kill those farmers. Then he will lease the land to some other farmers.” 
When the people heard this story, they said, “This should never happen!” 
17 But Jesus looked into their eyes and said, “Then what does this verse mean: 
 
‘The stone that the builders refused to accept 
 became the cornerstone’? 
 
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken. If that stone falls on you, it will crush you!” 
19 When the teachers of the law and the leading priests heard this story, they knew it was about them. So they wanted to arrest Jesus right then, but they were afraid of what the people would do. 
 
KJV 
The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers 
9 Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to [a]vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. 
10 Now at [b]vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 
11 Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 
12 And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out. 
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’ 
14 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’ 
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 
16 He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.” 
And when they heard it they said, “Certainly not!” 
17 Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written: 
‘The stone which the builders rejected 
Has become the chief cornerstone’? 
18 Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” 
19 And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they [c]feared the people—for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.

1 Kings 22:1-40 - Micaiah Warns King Ahab

The Death of Lazarus 
1 There was a man named Lazarus who was sick. He lived in the town of Bethany, where Mary and her sister Martha lived. 
 
Jesus in Bethany 
17 Jesus arrived in Bethany and found that Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. 
18 Bethany was about two milesb from Jerusalem. 
19 Many Jews had come to see Martha and Mary. They came to comfort them about their brother Lazarus. 
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to greet him. But Mary stayed home. 
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 
22 But I know that even now God will give you anything you ask.” 
23 Jesus said, “Your brother will rise and be alive again.” 
24 Martha answered, “I know that he will rise to live again at the time of the resurrection on the last day.” 
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection. I am life. Everyone who believes in me will have life, even if they die. 
26 And everyone who lives and believes in me will never really die. Martha, do you believe this?” 
27 Martha answered, “Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God. You are the one who was coming to the world.” 
Jesus Cries 
28 After Martha said these things, she went back to her sister Mary. She talked to Mary alone and said, “The Teacher is here. He is asking for you.” 
29 When Mary heard this, she stood up and went quickly to Jesus. 
30 He had not yet come into the village. He was still at the place where Martha met him. 
31 The Jews who were in the house comforting Mary saw her get up and leave quickly. They thought she was going to the tomb to cry there. So they followed her. 
32 Mary went to the place where Jesus was. When she saw him, she bowed at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 
33 When Jesus saw Mary crying and the people with her crying too, he was very upset and deeply troubled. 
34 He asked, “Where did you put him?” 
They said, “Lord, come and see.” 
35 Jesus cried. 
36 And the Jews said, “Look! He loved Lazarus very much!” 
37 But some of them said, “Jesus healed the eyes of the blind man. Why didn’t he help Lazarus and stop him from dying?” 
Jesus Raises Lazarus From Death 
38 Again feeling very upset, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone covering the entrance. 
39 He said, “Move the stone away.” 
Martha said, “But, Lord, it has been four days since Lazarus died. There will be a bad smell.” Martha was the sister of the dead man. 
40 Then Jesus said to her, “Remember what I told you? I said that if you believed, you would see God’s divine greatness.” 
41 So they moved the stone away from the entrance. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you heard me. 
42 I know that you always hear me. But I said these things because of the people here around me. I want them to believe that you sent me.” 
43 After Jesus said this he called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 
44 The dead man came out. His hands and feet were wrapped with pieces of cloth. He had a handkerchief covering his face. 
Jesus said to the people, “Take off the cloth and let him go.” 
 
The Jewish Leaders Plan to Kill Jesus 
(Mt. 26:1–5; Mk. 14:1–2; Lk. 22:1–2) 
45 There were many Jews who came to visit Mary. When they saw what Jesus did, many of them believed in him. 
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus did. 47 Then the leading priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the high council. They said, “What should we do? This man is doing many miraculous signs. 
48 If we let him continue doing these things, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will come and take away our Temple and our nation.” 
49 One of the men there was Caiaphas. He was the high priest that year. He said, “You people know nothing! 
50 It is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed. But you don’t realize this.” 
51 Caiaphas did not think of this himself. As that year’s high priest, he was really prophesying that Jesus would die for the Jewish people. 
52 Yes, he would die for the Jewish people. But he would also die for God’s other children scattered all over the world. He would die to bring them all together and make them one people.

A Story About People Invited to a Dinner 
1 Jesus used some more stories to teach the people. He said, 
2 “God’s kingdom is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son. 
3 He invited some people to the feast. When it was ready, the king sent his servants to tell the people to come. But they refused to come to the king’s feast. 
 
4 “Then the king sent some more servants. He said to them, ‘I have already invited the people. So tell them that my feast is ready. I have killed my best bulls and calves to be eaten. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.’ 
5 “But when the servants told the people to come, they refused to listen. They all went to do other things. One went to work in his field, and another went to his business. 
6 Some of the other people grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them. 
 
7 The king was very angry. He sent his army to kill those who murdered his servants. And the army burned their city. 
 
8 “After that the king said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready. I invited those people, but they were not good enough to come to my feast. 
9 So go to the street corners and invite everyone you see. Tell them to come to my feast.’ 
10 So the servants went into the streets. They gathered all the people they could find, good and bad alike, and brought them to where the wedding feast was ready. And the place was filled with guests. 
11 “When the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in the right clothes for a wedding. 
12 The king said, ‘Friend, how were you allowed to come in here? You are not wearing the right clothes.’ But the man said nothing. 
13 So the king told some servants, ‘Tie this man’s hands and feet. Throw him out into the darkness, where people are crying and grinding their teeth with pain.’ 
14 “Yes, many people are invited. But only a few are chosen.”

24 Then Jesus used another story to teach them. Jesus said, “God’s kingdom is like a man who planted good seed in his field. 
25 That night, while everyone was asleep, the man’s enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and then left. 
26 Later, the wheat grew, and heads of grain grew on the plants. But at the same time the weeds also grew. 
27 Then the man’s servants came to him and said, ‘You planted good seed in your field. Where did the weeds come from?’ 
28 “The man answered, ‘An enemy planted weeds.’ 
“The servants asked, ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’ 
29 “He answered, ‘No, because when you pull up the weeds, you might also pull up the wheat. 
30 Let the weeds and the wheat grow together until the harvest time. At the harvest time I will tell the workers this: First, gather the weeds and tie them together to be burned. Then gather the wheat and bring it to my barn.’” 
 
What Is God’s Kingdom Like? 
(Mk. 4:30–34; Lk. 13:18–21) 
31 Then Jesus told the people another story: “God’s kingdom is like a mustard seed that a man plants in his field. 
32 It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it grows, it is the largest of all garden plants. It becomes a tree big enough for the birds to come and make nests in its branches.” 
33 Then Jesus told them another story: “God’s kingdom is like yeast that a woman mixes into a big bowl of flour to make bread. The yeast makes all the dough rise.” 
34 Jesus used stories to tell all these things to the people. He always used stories to teach them. 
35 This was to make clear the full meaning of what the prophet said: 
 
“I will speak using stories; 
I will tell things that have been secrets since the world was made.” Psalm 78:2 
 
Jesus Explains a Hard Story 
36 Then Jesus left the people and went into the house. His followers came to him and said, “Explain to us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field.” 
37 He answered, “The man who planted the good seed in the field is the Son of Man. 
38 The field is the world. The good seed are the people in God’s kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the Evil One. 
39 And the enemy who planted the bad seed is the devil. The harvest is the end of time. And the workers who gather are God’s angels. 
40 “The weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire. It will be the same at the end of time. 
41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will find the people who cause sin and all those who do evil. The angels will take those people out of his kingdom. 
42 They will throw them into the place of fire. There the people will be crying and grinding their teeth with pain. 
43 Then the godly people will shine like the sun. They will be in the kingdom of their Father. You people who hear me, listen!

24 Then Jesus used another story to teach them. Jesus said, “God’s kingdom is like a man who planted good seed in his field. 
25 That night, while everyone was asleep, the man’s enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and then left. 
26 Later, the wheat grew, and heads of grain grew on the plants. But at the same time the weeds also grew. 
27 Then the man’s servants came to him and said, ‘You planted good seed in your field. Where did the weeds come from?’
28 “The man answered, ‘An enemy planted weeds.’
“The servants asked, ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’

11 As the crowd listened to what he was saying, Jesus went on to tell a story. He was now near Jerusalem and knew that the people thought it was almost time for God’s kingdom to come. 
12 So he said, “A very important man was preparing to go to a country far away to be made a king. Then he planned to return home and rule his people. 
13 So he called ten of his servants together. He gave a bag of money[a] to each servant. He said, ‘Do business with this money until I come back.’ 
14 But the people in the kingdom hated the man. They sent a group to follow him to the other country. There they said, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ 
15 “But the man was made king. When he came home, he said, ‘Call those servants who have my money. I want to know how much more money they earned with it.’ 
16 The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, I earned ten bags of money with the one bag you gave me.’ 17 The king said to him, ‘That’s great! You are a good servant. I see that I can trust you with small things. So now I will let you rule over ten of my cities.’ 
18 “The second servant said, ‘Sir, with your one bag of money I earned five bags.’ 
19 The king said to this servant, ‘You can rule over five cities.’ 
20 “Then another servant came in and said to the king, ‘Sir, here is your bag of money. I wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hid it. 
21 I was afraid of you because you are a hard man. You even take money that you didn’t earn and gather food that you didn’t grow.’ 
22 “Then the king said to him, ‘What a bad servant you are! I will use your own words to condemn you. You said that I am a hard man. You said that I even take money that I didn’t earn and gather food that I didn’t grow. 
 23 If that is true, you should have put my money in the bank. Then, when I came back, my money would have earned some interest.’ 
24 Then the king said to the men who were watching, ‘Take the bag of money away from this servant and give it to the servant who earned ten bags of money.’ 
25 “The men said to the king, ‘But sir, that servant already has ten bags of money.’ 
26 “The king said, ‘People who use what they have will get more. But those who do not use what they have will have everything taken away from them. 
27 Now where are my enemies? Where are the people who did not want me to be king? Bring my enemies here and kill them. I will watch them die.’”

20 Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will God’s kingdom come?” 
Jesus answered, “God’s kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you can see it. 
21 People will not say, ‘Look, God’s kingdom is here!’ or ‘There it is!’ No, God’s kingdom is here with you.b” 
22 Then Jesus said to his followers, “The time will come when you will want very much to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not be able to. 
 23 People will say to you, ‘Look, there it is!’ or ‘Look, here it is!’ Stay where you are; don’t go away and search. 
24 “When the Son of Man comes again, you will know it. On that day he will shine like lightning flashes across the sky. 
25 But first, the Son of Man must suffer many things. The people of today will refuse to accept him. 
26 “When the Son of Man comes again, it will be the same as it was when Noah lived. 
27 People were eating, drinking, and getting married even on the day when Noah entered the boat. Then the flood came and killed them all. 
28 “It will be the same as during the time of Lot, when God destroyed Sodom. Those people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building houses for themselves. 
 29 They were doing these things even on the day when Lot left town. Then fire and sulfur rained down from the sky and killed them all. 
30 This is exactly how it will be when the Son of Man comes again. 
31 “On that day if a man is on his roof, he will not have time to go inside and get his things. If a man is in the field, he cannot go back home. 
32 Remember what happened to Lot’s wifec! 
33 “Whoever tries to keep the life they have will lose it. But whoever gives up their life will save it. 
34 That night there may be two people sleeping in one room. One will be taken and the other will be left. 
35 There may be two women working together. One will be taken and the other will be left.” 36 d 
37 The followers asked Jesus, “Where will this be, Lord?” 
Jesus answered, “It’s like looking for a dead body—you will find it where the vultures are gathering above.” 
 
NKJV 
20Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 
21nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is [g]within you.” 
22Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 
23And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 
24For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 
25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 
27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 
29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 
30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 
31“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his [i]goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32Remember Lot’s wife. 
33Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 
34I tell you, in that night there will be two [j]men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 
35Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36[k]Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” 
37And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?”

20 Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will God’s kingdom come?”
Jesus answered, “God’s kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you can see it. 
21 People will not say, ‘Look, God’s kingdom is here!’ or ‘There it is!’ No, God’s kingdom is here with you.b”
22 Then Jesus said to his followers, “The time will come when you will want very much to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not be able to.
 23 People will say to you, ‘Look, there it is!’ or ‘Look, here it is!’ Stay where you are; don’t go away and search. 
24 “When the Son of Man comes again, you will know it. On that day he will shine like lightning flashes across the sky. 
25 But first, the Son of Man must suffer many things. The people of today will refuse to accept him.

The Rich Man and Lazarus - ERV 
19 Jesus said, “There was a rich man who always dressed in the finest clothes. He was so rich that he was able to enjoy all the best things every day. 
20 There was also a very poor man named Lazarus. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores. He was often put by the rich man’s gate. 
21 Lazarus wanted only to eat the scraps of food left on the floor under the rich man’s table. And the dogs came and licked his sores. 
22 “Later, Lazarus died. The angels took him and placed him in the arms of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. 
23 He was sent to the place of deathd and was in great pain. He saw Abraham far away with Lazarus in his arms. 
24 He called, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to me so that he can dip his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am suffering in this fire!’ 
25 “But Abraham said, ‘My child, remember when you lived? You had all the good things in life. But Lazarus had nothing but problems. Now he is comforted here, and you are suffering. 
26 Also, there is a big pit between you and us. No one can cross over to help you, and no one can come here from there.’ 
27 “The rich man said, ‘Then please, father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father’s house on earth. 
28 I have five brothers. He could warn my brothers so that they will not come to this place of pain.’ 
29 “But Abraham said, ‘They have the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets to read; let them learn from that.’ 
30 “The rich man said, ‘No, father Abraham! But if someone came to them from the dead, then they would decide to change their lives.’ 
31 “But Abraham said to him, ‘If your brothers won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t listen to someone who comes back from the dead.’”

1 God said to Jacob, “Go to the town of Bethel.a That is where I appeared to you when you were running away from your brother Esau. Live there and make an altar to honor me as El,b the God who appeared to you.” 
2 So Jacob told his family and all the other people with him, “Destroy all these foreign gods that you have. Make yourselves pure. Put on clean clothes. 
3 We will leave here and go to Bethel. There I will build an altar to the God who has always helped me during times of trouble. He has been with me wherever I have gone.” 
4 So the people gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had, and they gave him all the rings they were wearing in their ears. He buried everything under an oak tree near the town called Shechem. 
5 Then Jacob and his sons left that place. The people in the surrounding cities wanted to follow and kill them, but God filled them with such great fear that they did not go after them. 
6 So Jacob and his people went to Luz, which is now called Bethel. It is in the land of Canaan. 
7 Jacob built an altar there. He named the place “El Bethel.”c Jacob chose this name because that is the place where God first appeared to him when he was running from his brother. 
8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died there. They buried her under the oak tree at Bethel. They named that place Allon Bacuth.

Ezekiel 17:22-24 - The Eagle and the Vine

Abijah, King of Judah 
1 Abijah became the new king of Judah during the 18th year that Jeroboam son of Nebat ruled Israel. 
2 Abijah ruled in Jerusalem for three years. His mother’s name was Maacah. She was Absalom’s daughter. 
3 He did all the same sins that his father before him had done. Abijah was not faithful to the LORD his God. In this way he was not like his grandfather, David. 
4 But for David’s sake, the LORD gave Abijah a kingdom in Jerusalem and allowed him to have a son. He also kept Jerusalem safe. 
5 David had always done what the LORD said was right. He had always obeyed his commands. The only time David did not obey the Lord was when he sinned against Uriah the Hittite. 
6 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always fighting against each other.a 
7 The rest of what Abijah did is written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah. 
There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam during the whole time that Abijah was king. 
8 When Abijah died, he was buried in the City of David. Abijah’s son Asa became the new king after him. 
Asa, King of Judah 
9 During Jeroboam’s 20th year as king over Israel, Asa became king of Judah. 10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah, and she was the daughter of Absalom. 
11 Asa did what the LORD said is right, as his ancestor David did. 
12 During Asa’s time there were men who served other gods by selling their bodies for sex. Asa forced them to leave the country. He took away the idols that his ancestors had made. 
13 King Asa also took away the right of his mother Maacah to be queen mother. He did this because she had set up one of those awful Asherah poles. Asa cut down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 
14 Asa did not destroy the high places, even though he was faithful to the LORD all his life. 
15 Asa and his father had given some special gifts to God. Asa put these gifts of gold, silver, and other things in the LORD’S Temple. 
 
24 He died and was buried in the City of David, his ancestor. Then Asa’s son Jehoshaphat became the new king after him. 
Nadab, King of Israel 
25 During Asa’s second year as king of Judah, Jeroboam’s son Nadab became king of Israel. Nadab ruled over Israel for two years. 
26 He did what the LORD said was wrong. He sinned just as his father Jeroboam did when he caused the Israelites to sin. 
27 Baasha was the son of Ahijah. They were from the tribe of Issachar. Baasha made a plan to kill King Nadab. Nadab and all Israel were fighting against the Philistine town of Gibbethon. And that is where Baasha killed Nadab. 
28 This happened during Asa’s third year as king of Judah. So Baasha became the next king of Israel. 
Baasha, King of Israel 
29 When Baasha became the new king, he killed everyone in Jeroboam’s family. He left no one in Jeroboam’s family alive. This happened just as the LORD said it would when he spoke through his servant Ahijah at Shiloh. 
30 This happened because King Jeroboam had committed many sins and had caused the Israelites to sin. This made the LORD, the God of Israel, very angry. 
31 The other things that Nadab did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. 
32 All during the time that Baasha ruled over Israel, he was fighting wars against King Asa of Judah. 
33 Ahijah’s son Baasha became king of Israel during the third year that Asa ruled over Judah. Baasha ruled in Tirzah for 24 years, 
34 but he did what the LORD said was wrong. He did the same sins that Jeroboam had done that caused the Israelites to sin.

Matthew 1:18-25 - The Birth of Jesus the Messiah 
18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother Mary was engaged to marry Joseph. But before they married, he learned that she was expecting a baby. (She was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.) 
19 Mary’s husband, Joseph, was a good man. He did not want to cause her public disgrace, so he planned to divorce her secretly. 
20 But after Joseph thought about this, an angel from the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to accept Mary to be your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit. 
21 She will give birth to a son. You will name him Jesus.[a] Give him that name because he will save his people from their sins.” 
22 All this happened to make clear the full meaning of what the Lord said through the prophet: 
23 “The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel.”[b] (Immanuel means “God with us.”) 
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the Lord’s angel told him to do. He married Mary. 
25 But Joseph did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And he named him Jesus.

1 At that time Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick. 
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go to Shiloh and see the prophet Ahijah. He is the one who said that I would become king of Israel. Dress yourself so that people will not know that you are my wife. 
3 Give the prophet ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey. Then ask him what will happen to our son, and he will tell you.” 
4 So the king’s wife did what he said. She went to the home of Ahijah the prophet in Shiloh. Ahijah was very old and had become blind. 
5 But the LORD said to him, “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son because he is sick. I will tell you what to say to her.” 
When she came to Ahijah’s house, she pretended to be someone else. 
6 But when Ahijah heard her coming to the door, he said, “Come in! I know who you are. You are Jeroboam’s wife. Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have some bad news for you. 
7 Go back and tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jeroboam, I chose you from among all the Israelites. I made you the ruler of my people. 
8 David’s family was ruling the kingdom of Israel, but I took the kingdom away from them and gave it to you. But you are not like my servant David. He always obeyed my commands and followed me with his whole heart. He did only what I accepted. 
9 But you have sinned worse than anyone who ruled before you. You stopped following me and made other gods for yourself. You made those statues to make me angry. 
10 So Jeroboam, I will bring troubles to your family. I will kill all the men in your family. I will destroy your family completely, like fire burning up dung. 
11 Anyone from your family who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs. And anyone from your family who dies in the fields will be eaten by birds. The LORD has spoken.’” 
12 Then Ahijah said, “Now, go home. Your son will die as soon as you enter the city. 
13 All Israel will cry for him. They will bury him, but he is the only one from Jeroboam’s family who will be buried. This is because he is the only one in Jeroboam’s family who pleased the LORD, the God of Israel. 
14 Soon, the LORD will put a new king over Israel who will destroy Jeroboam’s family. 
15 Then the LORD will punish Israel. The Israelites will be so full of fear that they will shake like tall grass in the water. He will pull Israel up from this good land that he gave their ancestors. He will scatter them to the other side of the Euphrates River. The LORD will do this because the people made him angry when they built sacred poles.a 
16 He will let the Israelites be defeated because Jeroboam sinned, and then he made the Israelites sin.” 
17 Jeroboam’s wife went back to Tirzah. As soon as she stepped into the house, the boy died. 
18 They buried him and all the people of Israel cried for him. This happened just as the LORD said it would through his servant, the prophet Ahijah. 
19 The rest of what King Jeroboam did is written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. It includes the wars he fought and the way he ruled. 
20 Jeroboam ruled as king for 22 years. Then he died and was buried with his ancestors.b His son Nadab became the new king after him.

1 At that time Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.

God Will Answer His People 
1 Then Jesus taught the followers that they should always pray and never lose hope. He used this story to teach them: 
2 “Once there was a judge in a town. He did not care about God. He also did not care what people thought about him. 
 3 In that same town there was a woman whose husband had died. She came many times to this judge and said, ‘There is a man who is doing bad things to me. Give me my rights!’ 
4 But the judge did not want to help the woman. After a long time, the judge thought to himself, ‘I don’t care about God. And I don’t care about what people think. 
5 But this woman is bothering me. If I give her what she wants, then she will leave me alone. But if I don’t give her what she wants, she will bother me until I am sick.’” 
6 The Lord said, “Listen, there is meaning in what the bad judge said. 
7 God’s people shout to him night and day, and he will always give them what is right. He will not be slow to answer them. 
8 I tell you, God will help his people quickly. But when the Son of Man comes again, will he find people on earth who believe in him?” 
Being Right With God 
9 There were some people who thought they were very good and looked down on everyone else. Jesus used this story to teach them: 
10 “One time there was a Pharisee and a tax collector. One day they both went to the Temple to pray. 
11 The Pharisee stood alone, away from the tax collector. When the Pharisee prayed, he said, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not as bad as other people. I am not like men who steal, cheat, or commit adultery. I thank you that I am better than this tax collector. 
12 I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of everything I get!’ 
13 “The tax collector stood alone too. But when he prayed, he would not even look up to heaven. He felt very humble before God. He said, ‘O God, have mercy on me. I am a sinner!’ 
14 I tell you, when this man finished his prayer and went home, he was right with God. But the Pharisee, who felt that he was better than others, was not right with God. People who make themselves important will be made humble. But those who make themselves humble will be made important. 
15 Some people brought their small children to Jesus so that he could lay his hands on them to bless them. But when the followers saw this, they told the people not to do this.
