He replied,“ If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

耶稣说：“我告诉你们，若是他们闭口不说，这些石头必要呼叫起来。”

耶稣回答：“我告诉你们，若是这些人闭口不说，石头也要呼叫起来。”

耶稣回答：“我告诉你们，若是这些人闭口不说，石头也要呼叫起来。”

耶稣说：“我告诉你们，如果他们闭口不言，这些石头都要呼喊了！”

耶稣说：“我告诉你们，他们若不出声，石头都要呼叫了。”

耶稣回答说：“我告诉你们：这些人如果不做声，石头都会呼喊起来！”

“ I tell you,” he replied,“ if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

“ I tell you,” he replied,“ if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

He answered,“ I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

He answered,“ I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out.”

Jesus replied,“ I tell you, if these stop speaking, the stones will cry out!”

But He answered and said to them,“ I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”

And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

He answered,“ I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out!”

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

He answered,“ I tell you, if they keep silent, the very stones will cry out!”

He answered them,“ I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

The very stones in the walls cry out against you, and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint.

You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!

Don’t just say to each other,‘ We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!

The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting,“ Praise God for the Son of David.” But the leaders were indignant.They asked Jesus,“ Do you hear what these children are saying?”“ Yes,” Jesus replied.“ Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say,‘ You have taught children and infants to give you praise.’”

Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the earth and all living things join in.Let the rivers clap their hands in glee! Let the hills sing out their songs of joybefore the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with fairness.

At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart,and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead.They left the cemetery after Jesus’ resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.The Roman officer and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They said,“ This man truly was the Son of God!”

When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.

Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people.

At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock.
