What did Jesus say about Jesus' Mission?

⁴⁹ “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

⁵¹ Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.

⁵² For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵³ They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

³ “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

⁷ “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam”

¹ “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

² even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

³ This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

⁴ I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

⁵ Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

⁴⁴ “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁶ “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

⁴⁹ “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

⁴ “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

⁵ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

⁶ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²² “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²⁶ “Take, eat; this is my body.”

²⁷ “All of you drink it,

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.

²⁹ But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

²² “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

²³ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²⁸ “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

⁴ “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

⁵ When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁶ When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’

⁷ I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

¹⁷ “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”

²⁵ “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁶ Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

⁷ the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”

³⁵ “When I sent you out without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?”

³⁶ “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me is being fulfilled.”

³⁸ “That is enough.”

³¹ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

³² For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

³³ They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
