And [when] the disciples heard [this], they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.

And [when they] lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him--Jesus alone.

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, "Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."

But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the [same] way also the Son of Man is going to suffer [at] their hands."

And [when they] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him

And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him."

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

Now [as] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were extremely distressed.

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

A curse on the world for such influences to do wrong! For they must come, but a curse on the man from whom these influences come!

If your hand or your foot becomes the occasion for you falling away [from God], cut them off and throw them away. It would be better for you to enter [never ending] life disabled or crippled, rather than keeping both hands and both feet and being thrown into the never ending fire [i.e., because they caused you to fall away from God].

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father [who is] in heaven.

For I am in the presence of two or three [disciples] wherever they are gathered in my name."

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?”

and said, 'For this thing, shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh.'

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

He said unto them, "All men cannot away with that saying, save they to whom it is given.

because some men are celibate from birth, while some are celibate because they have been made that way by others. Still others are celibate because they have made themselves that way for the sake of the kingdom from heaven. Let anyone accept this who can."

Then they brought children to him in order to have his blessing: and the disciples rebuked them.

But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not try to keep them from coming to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as they are."

So [when] the disciples heard [this], they were extremely amazed, saying, "Then who can be saved?"

and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.

So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same [thing].

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'

And [when] the ones [hired] about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.

And [when] the first came, they thought that they would receive more, and they also received a denarius apiece.

And [when they] received [it], they began to complain against the master of the house,

'These last,' they said, 'have done only one hour's work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day's work, and the heat.'

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem He took the twelve apostles aside. As they traveled along He said to them,

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.

and he said to her, 'What wilt thou?' She saith to him, 'Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'

But Jesus answered [and] said, "You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

He said to them, "You will drink the cup that I am to drink, but seats at my right and at my left are not mine to give, but they will be given to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."

And [when] the ten heard [this], they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, "Ye know that the Lords of the gentiles have domination over them. And they that are great exercise power over them.

And [as] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

And behold, [there were] two blind men sitting beside the road. [When they] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

They said to him, "Lord, that our eyes be opened!"

And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received [their] sight and followed him.

And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments over them. And he sat upon them.

Moreover, the people that went before, and they also that came after, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."

And when He had come to Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up; they were asking, "Who is this man?"

But [when] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful [things] that he did, and the children shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And [when they] saw [it], the disciples were astonished, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet."

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, [one of] whom they beat, and [one of] whom they killed, and [one of] whom they stoned.

Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come.

But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade:

The king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to death and set their city on fire.

Then said he to his servants, 'The wedding was prepared: but they which were bidden thereto, were not worthy.

So go to the main highways that lead out of the city, and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’

And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.

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

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

Let me see the tax money. And they gave him a penny.

They brought him a denarius. Then he asked them, "Whose face and name is this?"

They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

master, said they, by the law of Moses, in case a man die without children, his brother is oblig'd to marry his wife, in order to perpetuate his brother's name.

And after they all died, the woman [also] passed away.

When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

And [when] the crowds heard [this], they were amazed at his teaching.

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

they gathered together again, and one of them, an interpreter of the law, propounded a question, to try Him,

What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.

All things therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, observe and do;

All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.

They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them

But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,

And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues

They love the [special] greetings they receive at the open shopping markets and to be addressed as 'Rabbi' [Note: This word signified 'great' or 'master'].

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed look fair outside, while inside they are filled with dead men's bones and all kinds of filth.

in order that all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of the blessed, whom they slew between the temple and the altar, may come upon you.

"For I tell you that never shall you see me again until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." "nor did they know until the deluge came and swept them away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

But he told them, "You see all these things, don't you? I tell all of you with certainty, there isn't a single stone here that will be left standing on top of another. They will all be torn down."

For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.

You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars; take care not to be scared out of your wits. They have to come, but that is not the end yet.
