And after that He put His hands again on his eyes and made him look up. And he was restored and saw all clearly.

And He sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

And He said to them, But who do you say that I am? And Peter answered and said to Him, You are the Christ.

And He charged them that they should tell no one of Him.

And He spoke that saying openly. And Peter took Him and began to rebuke Him.

And calling near the crowd with His disciples, He said to them, Whoever will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

Therefore whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man shall also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.

And they asked Him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they desired, as it is written of him.

And immediately all the crowd, seeing Him, were greatly amazed, and they were running to Him to greet Him.

And wherever he seizes him, he dashes him. And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away. And I spoke to Your disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.

He answered him and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me!

And they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, the spirit immediately convulsed him. And he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming.

And He asked his father, How long ago has it been since this came to him? And he said, From childhood.

And oftentimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.

Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

And seeing that a crowd is running together, Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter no more into him!

And the spirit cried out, throwing him into convulsions, and came out of him. And he was like one dead, so that many said, He is dead.

But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

And He entering into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could we not cast him out?

For He taught His disciples and said to them, The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him. And after He is killed, He shall rise the third day.

But they did not understand that saying and were afraid to ask Him.

And He took a child, and embraced it, and set him in their midst. And He said to them,

Whoever receives one of such children on My name receives Me. And whoever receives Me does not only receives Me, but Him who sent Me.

And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in Your name, and he does not follow us. And we forbade him, because he does not follow us.

But Jesus said, Do not forbid him. For there is no one who shall do a work of power in My name who can lightly speak evil of Me.

And whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in Me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea.

And He arose from there. And He came into the borders of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And again a crowd came together to Him. And as was His custom, He taught them again.

And tempting Him, the Pharisees came to Him and asked Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

And in the house His disciples asked Him again about the same.

And they brought children to Him, so that He should touch them. And His disciples rebuked those bringing them.

And when He had gone out into the way, one came running up and kneeled to Him, and asked Him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except one, God.

And he answered and said to Him, Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.

Then Jesus, beholding him, loved him and said to him, One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven. And come, take up the cross and follow Me.

Then Peter began to say to Him, Lo, we have left all and have followed You.

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus went before them. And they were amazed, and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took the Twelve again and began to tell them what would happen to Him,

saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes. And they will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him to the nations.

And they will mock Him, and will scourge Him, and will spit on Him, and will kill Him. And the third day He shall rise again.

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to Him, saying, Master, we desire that You should do for us whatever we shall ask.

They said to Him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left hand, in Your glory.

And they said to Him, We can. And Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with you shall be baptized.

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant.

And many warned him that he should be quiet, but he cried a great deal more, Son of David, have mercy on me!

And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort; rise up, He is calling you.

And answering Jesus said to him, What do you desire that I should do to you? The blind man said to Him, My Lord, that I may see again.

And Jesus said to him, Go, your faith has healed you. And instantly he saw again, and he followed Jesus in the way.

And if anyone says to you, Why do you do this? Say that the Lord has need of him, and immediately he will send him here.

And they went, and they found the colt tied by the door outside, in a place where two ways met. And they untied him.

And the scribes and the chief priests heard. And they sought how they might destroy Him. For they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His doctrine.

And Peter, remembering, said to Him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which You cursed has withered away.

And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him

and said to Him, By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?

And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we shall say, From Heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

And taking him, they beat him and sent him away empty.

And again he sent to them another servant. And stoning that one, they struck him in the head, and sent him away, insulting him.

And again he sent another. And they killed him, and many others, beating some and killing some.

Therefore, still having one son, his own beloved, he also sent him to them last of all, saying, They will respect my son.

But those vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir! Come, let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours.

And they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.

And they sought to seize him, but feared the crowd. For they knew that He spoke the parable against them. And leaving Him, they went away.

And they sent certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him, to catch Him in His words.

And coming, they said to Him, Teacher, we know that you are true and you care about no one. For you do not look to the face of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

And they brought it. And He said to them, Whose image and inscription is this? And they said to Him, Caesar's.

And answering Jesus said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at Him.

Then the Sadducees came to Him, who say there is no resurrection. And they asked Him, saying,

And as regards the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses how God spoke to him in the Bush, saying, "I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?"

And coming up one of the scribes heard them reasoning, knowing that He had answered them well, he asked Him, Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

And the scribe said to Him, Right, Teacher, according to truth You have spoken, that God is one, and there is no other besides Him.

And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love the neighbor as himself, is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And seeing that he had answered intelligently, Jesus said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared to question Him any more.

David therefore himself calls Him Lord, and why then is He his son? And the great crowd heard Him gladly.

And as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, Master, see! What stones and what buildings!

And answering Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be one stone left on another that shall not be thrown down.

And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, across from the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately,

But when you see the abomination of desolation, that spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

And let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.

And let him who is in the field not turn back again in order to take up his garment.

And then if anyone shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ! Or, lo, there! Do not believe him.

As a man going away, leaving his house, and giving authority to his servants, and each man's work to him, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

And after two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by craft and kill Him.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.

And when they heard, they were glad and promised to give him silver. And he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

And the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the passover, His disciples said to Him, Where do You desire that we go and prepare that You may eat the passover?

And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, Go into the city, and there you shall meet a man bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him.

And they began to be grieved, and to say to Him one by one, Not at all I, is it? And another said, Not at all I, is it?

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It were good for that man if he had never been born.

But Peter said to Him, Although all shall be offended, yet I will not.

And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that today, in this night, before the cock crows twice, you shall deny Me three times.

And He took with Him Peter and James and John. And He began to be greatly amazed, and to be very heavy.

And He went forward a little and fell on the ground. And He prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

And when He returned, He found them asleep again (for their eyes were heavy), neither did they know what to answer Him.

And immediately, while He still spoke, Judas, being one of the Twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

And he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, it is He. Take Him and lead Him away safely.

And coming, at once drawing near to Him, he said, Rabbi, Rabbi! And he ardently kissed Him.

And they laid their hands on Him and seized Him.

And leaving Him, all fled.

And one, a certain young man, followed Him, having thrown a linen cloth around his naked body. And the young men caught him.
