Peter said to him, "Even though I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the disciples said the same thing.

At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you sallied out to arrest me like a robber, with swords and cudgels? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you never seized me.

Now the high priests and the whole of the Sanhedrin tried to secure false evidence against Jesus, in order to have him put to death;

So the high priest rose and said to him, "Have you no reply to make? What of this evidence against you?"

Then the high priest tore his dress and cried, "He has blasphemed! What more evidence do we want? Look, you have heard his blasphemy for yourselves!

When morning came, all the high priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to have him put to death.

Besides, when he was seated on the tribunal, his wife had sent to tell him, "Do nothing with that innocent man, for I have suffered greatly to-day in a dream about him.")

But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask Bar-Abbas and to have Jesus killed.

Pilate said, "Then what am I to do with Jesus the so-called 'Christ'?" They all said, "Have him crucified!"

"Why," said the governor, "what has he done wrong?" But they shouted on more fiercely than ever, "Have him crucified!"

but the angel addressed the women, saying, "Have no fear; I know you are looking for the crucified Jesus.

then Jesus said to them, "Have no fear! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee; they shall see me there."

"If this comes to the ears of the governor," they added, "we will satisfy him and see that you have no trouble about the matter."

and teach them to obey all the commands I have laid on you. And I will be with you all the time, to the very end of the world."

I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the holy Spirit."

"Jesus of Nazaret, what business have you with us? Have you come to destroy us? We know who you are, you are God's holy One."

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "Those who are strong have no need of a doctor, but those who are ill: I have not come to call just men but sinners."

Jesus said to them, "Can friends at a wedding fast while the bridegroom is beside them? As long as they have the bridegroom beside them they cannot fast.

He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and his men?

So he told his disciples to have a small boat ready; it was to prevent him being crushed by the crowd,

but the crowd gathered again, so that it was impossible even to have a meal.

but they have no root in themselves, they do not last; the next thing is that when the word brings trouble or persecution, they are at once repelled.

Then he said to them, "Why are you afraid like this? Have you no faith yet?"

shrieking aloud, "Jesus, son of God most High, what business have you with me? By God, I adjure you, do not torture me."

Instantly Jesus ignored the remark and told the president, "Have no fear, only believe."

John had told Herod, "You have no right to your brother's wife."

He said, "How many loaves have you got? Go and see." When they found out they told him, "Five, and two fish."

but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and shrieked aloud ??50 for they all saw him and were terrified. Then he spoke to them at once; "Courage," he said, "it is I, have no fear."

they decline to eat what comes from the market till they have washed it; and they have a number of other traditions to keep about washing cups and jugs and basins [and beds].)

But you say that if a man tells his father or mother, 'This money might have been at your service, but it is Korban' (that is, dedicated to God),

He said to her, "Well, go your way; the daemon has left your daughter, since you have said that."

"I am sorry for the crowd; they have been three days with me now, and they have nothing to eat.

If I send them home without food they will faint on the road. Besides, some of them have come a long way."

He asked them, "How many loaves have you got?" They said, "Seven."

"Leaven?" they argued to themselves, "we have no bread at all."

He noted this and said to them, "Why do you argue you have no bread? Do you not see, do you not understand, even yet? Are you still dull of heart?

You have eyes, do you not see? you have ears, do you not hear?

As for Elijah, I tell you he has come already, and they have done to him whatever they pleased ??as it is written of him."

He answered them, "O faithless generation, how long must I still be with you? how long have I to bear with you? Bring him to me."

"it has thrown him into fire and water many a time, to destroy him. If you can do anything, do help us, do have pity on us."

And whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck and be thrown into the sea.

"Teacher," he said, "I have observed all these commands from my youth."

Jesus looked at him and loved him. "There is one thing you want," he said; "go and sell all you have; give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me."

Jesus looked round and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have money to get into the Realm of God!"

Peter began, "Well, we have left our all and followed you."

Jesus said, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I have to drink, or undergo the baptism I have to undergo?"

They said to him, "We can." Jesus said, "You shall drink the cup I have to drink and undergo the baptism I have to undergo;

but it is not for me to grant seats at my right or my left hand ??these belong to the men for whom they have been destined."

heard it was Jesus of Nazaret. So he started to shout, "Son of David! Jesus! have pity on me."

A number of the people checked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

also he taught them. "Is it not written," he asked, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations? You have made it a den of robbers."

Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God!

I tell you truly, whoever says to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' and has not a doubt in his mind but believes that what he says will happen, he will have it done.

So I tell you, whatever you pray for and ask, believe you have got it and you shall have it.

Also, whenever you stand up to pray, if you have anything against anybody, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

and asked him, "What authority have you for acting in this way? Who gave you authority to act in this way?"

Jesus said to them, "I am going to ask you a question. Answer this, and I will tell you what authority I have for acting as I do.

So they replied to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "No more will I tell you what authority I have for acting as I do."

Have you not even read this scripture? ??The stone that the builders rejected is the chief stone now of the corner:

As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, at the passage on the Bush, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?

The scribe said to him, "Right, teacher! You have truly said, He is One, and there is none else but Him.

And he called his disciples and said to them, "I tell you truly, this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their money into the treasury;

for they have all put in a contribution out of their surplus, but she has given out of her neediness all she possessed, her whole living."

And when you hear of wars and rumours of war, do not be alarmed; these have to come, but it is not the end yet.

The passover and the festival of unleavened bread fell two days later; so the high priests and scribes were trying how to get hold of him by craft and have him put to death.

This perfume might have been sold for over three hundred shillings, and the poor might have got that." So they upbraided her.

The poor you always have beside you, and you can be kind to them whenever you want; but you will not always have me.

But he persisted, "Though I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And they all said the same.

Jesus turned on them, saying, "Have you sallied out to arrest me like a robber, with swords and cudgels?

Now the high priests and the whole of the Sanhedrin tried to secure evidence against Jesus, in order to have him put to death; but they could find none,

So the high priest rose in their midst and asked Jesus, "Have you no reply to make? What about this evidence against you?"

You have heard his blasphemy for yourselves. What is your mind?" They condemned him, all of them, to the doom of death;

But he denied it. "I do not know," he said, "I have no idea what you mean." Then he went outside into the passage. The cock crowed.

and once more Pilate asked him, "Have you no reply to make? Look at all their charges against you."

Inasmuch as a number of writers have essayed to draw up a narrative of the established facts in our religion

exactly as these have been handed down to us by the original eyewitnesses who were in the service of the Gospel Message,

and inasmuch as I have gone carefully over them all myself from the very beginning, I have decided, O Theophilus, to write them out in order for your excellency,

to let you know the solid truth of what you have been taught.

The angel replied, "I am Gabriel, I stand before God; I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

But you will be silent and unable to speak till the day this happens, because you have not believed what I told you; it will be accomplished, for all that, in due time."

But the angel said to her, "Fear not, Mary, you have found favour with God.

"How can this be?" said Mary to the angel, "I have no husband."

Mary said, "I am here to serve the Lord. Let it be as you have said." Then the angel went away.

What have I done to have the mother of my Lord come to me?

as he promised our fathers, to have mercy on Abraham and his offspring for ever."

but the angel said to them, "Have no fear. This is good news I am bringing you, news of a great joy that is meant for all the People.

To-day you have a saviour born in the town of David, the Lord messiah.

for mine eyes have seen thy saving power

When his parents saw him they were astounded, and his mother said to him, "My son, why have you behaved like this to us? Here have your father and I been looking for you anxiously!"

Now, produce fruits that answer to your repentance, instead of beginning to say to yourselves, 'We have a father in Abraham.' I tell you, God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

and the holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my son, the Beloved, to-day have I become thy father."

So he said to them, "No doubt you will repeat to me this proverb, 'Doctor, cure yourself!' 'Do here in your own country all we have heard you did in Capharnahum.'"

"Ha! Jesus of Nazaret, what business have you with us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, you are God's holy One!"

as was the case with James and John, the sons of Zebedaeus, who were partners of Simon. Then said Jesus to Simon, "Have no fear; from now your catch will be men."

And all were seized with astonishment; they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, "We have seen incredible things to-day."

Jesus replied to them, "Healthy people have no need of a doctor, but those who are ill:

I have not come to call just men but sinners to repentance."

But Jesus answered them, "And have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?

Woe to you who have your fill to-day! you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh to-day! you will wail and weep.

No, you must love your enemies and help them, you must lend to them without expecting any return; then you will have a rich reward, you will be sons of the Most High for he is kind even to the ungrateful and the evil.
