But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.

He answered them, "[It was] because you had such little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as [small as] a mustard tree seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to that place over there' and it would move. And nothing will be impossible for you [to do]." {[{[Some manuscripts contain the following verse:

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Doesn't your teacher pay the didrachma?"

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?

And calling a child [to himself], he had him stand in their midst

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

What do you think? If anyone had a hundred sheep, and one of them wandered away, would he not leave the ninety-nine [safe ones] and go to the mountains looking for the one that wandered away?

Truly I tell you, if he happens to find it, he is happier over it than over the ninety-nine that had not wandered away.

In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

So the master of that slave, [because he] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

But no sooner had that servant gone out, than he met with one of his fellow servants who owed him 100 shillings; and seizing him by the throat and nearly strangling him he exclaimed, "'Pay me all you owe.'

But he was unwilling and he went and had him thrown in prison until he paid back the debt.

But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives [only] because of the rebellious spirits you [Jews] had. But this was not how it was [intended to be] from the beginning [i.e., when God created one woman for one man].

Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

When he had laid his hands on them, he went on from there.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Then Peter spoke and said to him, "Here we have left all we had and followed you. What are we to have?"

And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.'

Those who had been hired at the eleventh hour (5:00 p.m.) came and received a denarius each [a day’s wage].

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

When they approached Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples [ahead],

Now this happened to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet when he said,

But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,

They led the ass and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself upon them.

When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"

But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.

And he left them, and went out of the city unto Bethany, and had his abiding there.

Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"

John's Baptism, whence was it? --had it a heavenly or a human origin?" So they debated the matter among themselves. "If we say 'a heavenly origin,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

The boy answered, 'I will not.' But later he had a change of heart and went.

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Once more he sent some other servants, more than he had sent at first, and they did the same to them.

A second time he sent some servants, with orders to say to those who had been invited 'I have prepared my breakfast, my cattle and fat beasts are killed and everything is ready; come to the banquet.'

But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding celebration is ready, but those who had been invited were not worthy.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

Show me the coin with which the tax is paid." And, when they had brought him a florin,

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

"Teacher, Moses said [in Deut. 25:5] that when a man dies without having had any children, his brother must marry his widow and father children by her, who would [then] be considered his [dead] brother's.

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

As the Pharisees had mustered, Jesus put a question to them.

And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

Jesus had left the Temple and was going on His way, when His disciples came and called His attention to the Temple buildings.

When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

There will be great trouble [during these times], such as had never been from the beginning of time up to the present, or ever will be [in the days to come].

And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

But the sensible ones answered, 'There may not be enough for us and you. You had better go to the dealers and buy yourselves some.'

But [while] they had gone away to buy [it] the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

"After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.

Take the one talent away from him, therefore, and give it to the servant who had the ten talents.

I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

Then those who had done what was right [i.e., the ones at His right side] replied, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you [something] to drink?

when I was a stranger, you did not invite me home, when I had no clothes, you did not supply me, when I was sick and in prison, you did not look after me.'

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

While Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, a man who had a serious skin disease,

there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board.

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Now as they were eating Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you;

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Was it so, that you had not strength to watch with me one hour?

And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.

He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.

Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.

but all this was to be done, in pursuance of what the prophets had predicted. then all the disciples abandon'd him, and fled.
