and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.

And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.

And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?

But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.

And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.

And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.

And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.

He answereth and saith to them, O unbelieving 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 as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.

And he asked his father, How long hath it been thus with him? And he said, From a child;

and it hath often cast him both into fire, and into water, to destroy him; but if thou art able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.

And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.

But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.

And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?

For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.

But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.

And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.

But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.

And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe to fall away, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea.

And departing thence, he cometh into the borders of Judaea, and to the other side of the Jordan; and multitudes again come together to him; and, as he was wont, he again taught them.

And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife, trying him.

And in the house his disciples asked him again about this matter.

And they brought children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

And as he was going out into the way, a certain one running up and kneeling to him, asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life?

And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.

And he said to him, Teacher, all these have I kept from my youth.

And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

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

And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading the way; and they were amazed, and they that followed were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:

Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up to the gentiles;

and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again.

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying to him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldst do for us whatever we shall ask thee.

And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, in thy glory.

And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye will drink the cup that I drink, and ye will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

And Jesus, calling them to him, saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict authority over them.

And many sharply bade him be silent; but he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!

And Jesus stopped, and said, Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage, rise, he calleth thee.

And Jesus answering said to him, What dost thou wish me to do for thee? The blind man said to him, My master, to restore my sight.

And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath saved thee. And he immediately received his sight, and followed him on the road.

And he answering said to it, Let no one eat fruit from thee henceforth for ever. And his disciples heard him.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him; because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

And Peter remembered and said to him, Rabbi, see! the figtree which thou didst curse is withered away.

And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders;

and they said to him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded.

And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and treated shamefully.

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

Still he had one beloved son; he sent him last to them, saying, They will respect my son.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will 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 multitude; for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And they left him, and went away.

And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to ensnare him in speech.

And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

And they brought one. And he saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesars.

And Jesus said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. And they marveled at him exceedingly.

Then come to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

And concerning the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"?

And one of the scribes came up, having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is first of all?

And the scribe said to him, In truth, Teacher, thou hast well said, that He is one, and that there is no other but he;

and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love ones neighbor as ones self, is more than all the whole burntofferings and the sacrifices.

And Jesus, perceiving that he answered wisely, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And after this no one dared to question him.

David himself calleth him lord; and how can he be his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.

And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, Truly do I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Teacher, see! what stones, and what buildings!

And Jesus said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.

And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not,let him that readeth understand,then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

let not him that is on the housetop go down, nor enter, to take anything out of his house;

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.

And then if any one shall say to you, See! here is the Christ; see! there; believe him not.

And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, that he might deliver him up to them.

And they when they heard it were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up.

And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they used to kill the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee to eat the passover?

And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go into the city, and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him;

They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?

For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Well were it for that man if he had not been born.

But Peter said to him, Even if all shall fall away, yet will not I.

And Jesus saith to him, Truly do I say to thee, that even thou, today, on this night, before a cock crow twice, wilt thrice deny me.

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John; and began to be in great consternation and anguish.

And going on a little farther, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass from him.

And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

And immediately, while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and elders.

And his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the man; seize him, and lead him away securely.

And on coming he immediately went up to him, and said, Rabbi! and kissed him.

And they laid hands on him and seized him.

And all forsook him and fled.

And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and they laid hold of him.

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the palace of the highpriest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.

And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none.

For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree together.

And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,
