45 The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

28 The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.

18 He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and scribes. They will judge him and say he must die.19 They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.

28 They took off his clothes, and they put a red gown on him.29 They made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand. Then they kneeled down in front of him and made fun of him. They shouted, Greetings, King of the Jews!

46 Jesus called out loud, Father, I put my spirit into your hands! When he had said this, he died.

13 The strongest love anyone can have is this. He will die to save his friends.

6 We could not help ourselves. So at the right time, Christ died to save us bad people.

18 You know this. You lived the way your fathers taught you to live, and it was not a good way to live. You were bought and set free from that way of life. But you were not bought with silver or gold money, which can spoil.19 You were bought with blood that is worth much. It is like the blood of a sheep that is perfect with nothing wrong in its body. You were bought with the blood of Christ.

28 So Christ gave himself as a sacrifice only once. He took on himself the wrong things many people have done. He will come a second time. But he will not come to do anything about the wrong things people have done. He will come to save those who are looking and waiting for him.

14 If the blood of animals can do that, then the blood of Christ will clean our hearts much better. Christ gave himself to God as the sacrifice. He did this by the Spirit who lives for ever. He was a perfect sacrifice. He will clean our hearts from useless acts of worship. Then we can serve the living God.

7 Do we live in the light, as God is in the light? Then we belong with others who belong to him. And the blood of the death of Jesus Christ makes us clean from all the wrong things we have done.

3 I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.4 He was buried. He was raised on the third day, as the holy writings said.

2 Love others as Christ has loved us. He gave his life for us, a sweet smelling offering and a sacrifice to God.

14 Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong. He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good.

13 Do not use your bodies to do wrong things. But give yourselves to God like men who have been raised from death to life. Give your bodies to God and use them to do good things.

24 Anyone who tries to keep his life will lose it. And anyone who gives up his life for my sake will find it.

13 Go and learn what this means: "I want you to be kind. I do not want a sacrifice." I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.

32 He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?

36 He said, Oh, my Father, you can do all things. Take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want, but what you want.

24 But none of these things trouble me. I do not try to save my life. All I want is to finish what I must do with joy. The work which the Lord Jesus gave me is to tell the good news that God is kind.
