"You should not have tried to hinder him," replied Jesus, "for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.

And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.

And if your hand causes your downfall, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and go to hell—the unquenchable fire,

And if your foot causes your downfall, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell— [the unquenchable fire,

And if your eye causes your downfall, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

where their worm [that feeds on the dead] does not die, and the fire is not put out.

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

Some people were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were greatly surprised, saying to him, Who then may have salvation?

Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

"What would you have me do for you?" He asked.

and Jesus said to them, 'Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?'

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;

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, 'Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus stopped [and] said, "Call him." And they called the blind man [and] said to him, "Have courage! Get up! He is calling you."

So they called the blind man and told him, "Have courage! Get up. He's calling you." He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.

And saith to them, Go into the village over against you: and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

"What authority have you to do these things?" they said. "Who gave you the authority to do them?"

"I will put one question to you," said Jesus. "Answer me that, and then I will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why then have ye not believed him?

Or should we say, 'human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.

and answering they say to Jesus, 'We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

And they tried to have him arrested, but they were afraid of the people, for they knew that the illustration was aimed at them. And they left him and went away.

and they having come, say to him, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, he should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

In the resurrection, when they have risen, of which of them will she be wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.

And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.

The scribe said to Him, “Admirably answered, Teacher; You truthfully stated that He is One, and there is no other but Him;

And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'

And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and to have'salutations in the marketplaces,

and [they love] the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of distinction and honor at banquets,

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.

Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign when all these things may be about to have an end?

And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.

"But you, watch out for yourselves! They will hand you over to councils and you will be beaten in the synagogues and will have to stand before governors and kings because of me, for a witness to them.

Brother will betray brother to [be put to] death, and a father [will hand over] his child; and children will rise up and take a stand against parents and have them put to death.

And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.

And woe to those women who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect's sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away, until all these things have taken place.

Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;

Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death,

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

On the first day of unleavened bread, when the paschal lamb is kill'd, his disciples said to him, where would you have us go and prepare for your eating the paschal lamb?

For the Son of Man goes [to the cross] just as it is written [in Scripture] of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "All of you will have doubts about me, for it is written [Zech. 13:7], 'I will strike down the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered everywhere.'

But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

But Peter said to Him, "Although everyone else will have doubts [about you], I never will."

And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

But he said so much exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too.

So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."

And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Were you unable to keep watch for one hour?

Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

I have been among you day after day in the Temple Courts teaching, and yet you did not arrest me; but this is in fulfillment of the Scriptures."

Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.

"We have heard him say, 'I will pull down this Sanctuary built by human hands, and three days afterwards I will erect another built without hands.'"

The high priest stood up and came forward and asked Jesus, “Have You no answer to give [in response] to what these men are testifying against You?”

And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?

Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

and he denied, saying, 'I have not known him, neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

and he began to anathematize, and to swear -- 'I have not known this man of whom ye speak;'

And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

He answered him, “You have said it.”

Then Pilate again asked Him, “Have You no answer [to give]? See how many charges they are bringing against You!”

but Pilate answered them, saying, do you chuse to have Jesus releas'd, the king of the Jews?

But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead.

And Pilate answering again said to them, What then would ye have me do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews?

and they array him in purple, and set upon him, when they have plaited it; a crown of thorns, -

And they would have given him, myrrhed wine, - who, however, received it not.

And they crucify him, and part asunder his garments, casting a lot upon them - who should have anything.

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

The Roman Officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he expired, exclaimed: "This man must indeed have been 'God's Son'!"
