The Annunciation. Foretelling the birth of Jesus. Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. Having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!"
Jesus begins his ministry in Galilee (1:14-15; see also Matthew 4:12-17; Luke 4:14-15). Jesus calls his first disciples (see also Matthew 4:18-22; Luke 5:1-11). After John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News."
Jesus' baptism (1:9-11; see also Matthew 3:13-17; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34). The temptation of Jesus (1:12-13; see also Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13). Jesus begins his ministry in Galilee (1:14-15; see also Matthew 4:12-17; Luke 4:14-15). Immediately the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness. He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
Paul's greetings to the believers in Rome––those who were called to be saints.
Jesus' baptism (See also Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34). Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?" But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness."
Forgive 70 x 7 (18:21-22). The parable of the unforgiving servant (18:23-35). Peter said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven."
"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly."
Jesus' Transfiguration (see also Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36; 2 Peter 1:16-18). Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Jesus tells of his death and resurrection (16:21-23; see also Mark 8:31-33; Luke 9:21-22). Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me (16:24-28; see also Mark 8:34 - 9:1; Luke 9:23-27). From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
Peter's says that Jesus is the Messiah (see also Mark 8:27-30; Luke 9:18-20). Jesus asked, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" They said, "Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." He said, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
