An angel tells the old priest Zechariah that he and Elizabeth will have a son, John, who will prepare people for the Lord. Then the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will be the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Mary trusts God and sings praise, and John is born.
Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born and laid in a manger. Angels announce the good news to shepherds, who hurry to see Him. Simeon and Anna praise God for the child in the temple, and at twelve years old Jesus listens and asks questions in His Father's house.
John the Baptist preaches in the wilderness, calling people to turn from sin and be baptized. He tells them to share and to be honest, and he points to Jesus, who is greater than he is. When Jesus is baptized, the Holy Spirit comes down like a dove and the Father speaks from heaven. Luke then lists Jesus' family line.
The Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness, where He answers every temptation of the devil with God's Word. In Nazareth He reads from Isaiah and says the promise is fulfilled in Him. Some people there reject Him, but in Capernaum He teaches with authority and heals many people.
Jesus teaches from Simon Peter's boat, and then fills the nets with so many fish that they begin to break. Peter, James and John leave everything to follow Him. Jesus heals a man with leprosy and forgives and heals a paralyzed man whose friends lower him through a roof. He calls Levi the tax collector and explains that He came to call sinners to repentance.
Jesus teaches about the Sabbath and heals a man's withered hand. After praying all night, He chooses twelve apostles. In His Sermon on the Plain He blesses the poor and hungry, tells His followers to love their enemies and do to others as they would like done to them, and ends with the story of the wise and foolish builders.
Jesus heals the servant of a Roman centurion who shows great faith. In Nain He has compassion on a widow and raises her only son back to life. He encourages John the Baptist with news of His works. At a Pharisee's dinner, a sinful woman washes Jesus' feet with her tears, and He forgives her sins.
Jesus sends out the twelve to preach and heal. He feeds more than five thousand people with five loaves and two fish. Peter says Jesus is the Christ of God, and Jesus teaches that following Him means denying ourselves. On a mountain, Jesus shines with glory and the Father says, Listen to Him.
Jesus sends out seventy followers to prepare towns for His coming. He tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, who shows mercy to a hurt man on the road. At the home of Martha and Mary, Jesus teaches that sitting and listening to Him is the one thing that is needed.
Jesus teaches His disciples the Lord's Prayer and encourages them to keep asking, seeking and knocking, because the Father gives good gifts. He casts out a demon, teaches that those who hear and keep God's Word are blessed, and warns the Pharisees about caring for outward appearances more than the heart.
Jesus warns against hypocrisy and greed. He tells of a rich fool who stored up crops but was not rich toward God. He teaches His followers not to worry, because God feeds the birds and clothes the flowers, and tells them to seek His Kingdom and be ready for His return.
Jesus calls people to turn back to God and tells of a fig tree given one more year to bear fruit. On the Sabbath He heals a woman who had been bent over for eighteen years. He compares God's Kingdom to a tiny mustard seed and to yeast, urges people to enter through the narrow door, and grieves over Jerusalem like a hen longing to gather her chicks.
At a Pharisee's house, Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath and teaches guests to take the lowest seat. He says to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. In the parable of the great banquet, the master fills his house with people who were not first invited. Jesus teaches that following Him means counting the cost.
Tax collectors and sinners come to hear Jesus, and the Pharisees grumble. Jesus tells three parables: a shepherd who finds his lost sheep, a woman who finds her lost coin, and a father who welcomes home his lost son. Heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents.
Jesus tells a parable about a shrewd manager and teaches that whoever is faithful with little is faithful with much. No one can serve both God and money. He then tells of a rich man who ignored a poor man named Lazarus, showing that God's Word is enough to lead us to repentance.
Jesus teaches His followers to keep praying and not give up, and He contrasts a proud Pharisee with a humble tax collector who prays for mercy. He welcomes little children, answers a rich ruler, predicts His death and resurrection, and gives sight to a blind man who cries out to Him.
In Jericho, Jesus calls Zacchaeus down from a sycamore tree and stays at his house, and Zacchaeus turns from greed to generosity. Jesus tells a parable about servants who are trusted with money while their master is away. He rides into Jerusalem on a colt as crowds praise Him as King. He weeps over the city and clears the temple of those who were selling there.
In the temple, leaders question Jesus' authority. He tells the parable of the tenants who reject the owner's son. When asked about paying taxes, He says to give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. He teaches that God is the God of the living and that the Christ is David's Lord.
Jesus praises a poor widow who gives two small coins, all she has. He warns that the temple will be destroyed and tells His followers there will be hard times, but they should stand firm and not be afraid. He promises that He will return in glory and that His words will never pass away.
At the Passover, Jesus shares bread and wine with His disciples and gives them the Lord's Supper to remember Him. He teaches that the greatest is the one who serves. On the Mount of Olives He prays, Not my will, but yours, be done. Judas betrays Him, Jesus is arrested, and Peter denies knowing Him three times before the rooster crows.
Jesus is brought before Pilate and Herod. Though Pilate finds no guilt in Him, the crowd demands His crucifixion. On the cross Jesus prays for His enemies to be forgiven and promises a repentant criminal that he will be with Him in Paradise. Darkness covers the land, Jesus gives His spirit into the Father's hands, and He is laid in a tomb.
On the first day of the week, women find the tomb empty, and angels tell them Jesus is risen. The risen Jesus walks with two disciples to Emmaus and is known to them in the breaking of bread. He appears to the disciples, eats with them, opens their minds to the Scriptures, promises the Holy Spirit, and is carried up into heaven.
