But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.

But wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: ye go not in, neither suffer ye them that are entring to go in.

Ye fools and blind: for which is greater? The gold? Or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

And whosoever shall swear by the altar, ye say, it is nothing: but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is bound.

Ye fools and blind; for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it and by all things thereon.

And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth therein.

And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first, the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Wherefore ye testify against yourselves, that ye are the sons of them who killed the prophets.

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a bird gathereth her young under her wings; and ye would not!

For I say to you, ye shall not see me from this time, till ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And Jesus answering said, Take heed that no man deceive you.

And ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled; for all these things must come to pass: but the end is not yet.

But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.

When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (he that readeth, let him understand;) Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:

Let not him that is on the house-top,

But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days.

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath.

For false Christs and false prophets shall arise and shew great signs and wonders, so that they would deceive (if it were possible) even the elect.

Learn a parable from the fig-tree: when its branch is now tender and shooteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh.

So likewise when ye see all these things, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, neither the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

For as in the days that were benore the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark.

But ye know this, that if the housholder had known, in what watch the thief would have come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open.

Happy is that servant, whom his Lord coming shall find so doing.

But if that evil servant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming:

The Lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expecteth him not, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

They that were foolish, taking their lamps, took not oil with them.

But the wise answered, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage; and the door was shut.

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

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

And he that had received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents; behold I have gained to them five talents more.

He also that had received two talents came and said, Sir, thou deliveredst to me two talents; behold I have gained to them two other talents.

Then he that had received the one talent came and said, Sir, I knew that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sown, and gathering whence thou hadst not scattered.

His lord answering said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather whence I had not scattered?

For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, shall be taken away even what he hath.

Ye know that after two days is the Passoever, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

And they bargained with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

On tbe first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And he answering said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.

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

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing; but the flesh is weak.

Rise; let us be going: behold he that betrayeth me is at hand.

Now he that betrayed him, had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, is he; seize him.

And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword.

Thinkest thou that I cannot now ask my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

In that hour Jesus said to the multitude, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple and ye took me not.

But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

And they that had apprehended Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

And after a while they that stood by, came and said to Peter, Surely thou art also one of them; for thy speech discovereth thee.

Then Judas who had betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

And they said, What is that to us? See thou to it. And having thrown down the pieces of silver in the temple, he withdrew and went and hanged himself.

Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood unto this day.

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value,

And he answered him to never a word, so that the governour marvelled greatly.

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called Christ?

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

While he sat on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things to-day in a dream because of him.

The governour answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release to you?

But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. Then Pilate, seeing, that he could prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just man: see ye to it.

And coming to a place called Golgotha, that is, the place of a skull, They gave him vinegar mingled with gall to drink,

And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.

And they that were passing by reviled him, wagging their heads and saying,

Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son God, come down from the cross.

And even the robbers that were crucified with him, cast the same reproach upon him.

And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama-sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Some of them that stood there hearing it, said, He calleth Elijah.

and many bodies of holy men that slept were raised.

And the centurion and they that were with him, guarding Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that were done, feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

Saying, Sir, we remember, that impostor said while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured till the third day, lest his disciples coming steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last imposture shall be worse than the first.

And go quickly and tell the disciples, that he is risen from the dead. And behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him.

While they were going, behold some of the guard coming into the city, told the chief priests all the things that had been done.
