And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying: Teacher, we know that you are true, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and care not for any one: for you do not look upon the person of men.

Show me the tribute-money. And they brought him a denarius.

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

They said to him: Caesar's. Then he said to them: Give, therefore, to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s.

And when they heard it, they were astonished, and left him, and went away.

On that day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they put a question to him,

"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother must marry his widow and raise up a family for him.'

The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.

and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

And one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, that he might tempt him, saying:

trying him and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.

saying: What think you of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him: The son of David.

He said to them: How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?

And no one was able to answer him a word; nor did any one, from that day, dare to ask him another question.

But let him that is greatest among you be your minister: and whosoever will exalt himself shall be abased,

15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of hell as yourselves.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you travel around the sea and the dry [land] to make one convert, and when he becomes [one], you make him twice as much a son of hell [as] you [are]!

Alas for you, you blind guides! You say 'if any answer by the Temple, his oath counts for nothing; but, if any one swears by the gold of the Temple, his oath is binding him'!

You say, too, 'If any one swears by the altar, his oath counts for nothing, but, if any one swears by the offering placed on it, his oath is binding on him'!

And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells in it.

And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits upon it.

For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

And [as] Jesus went out of the temple [courts] he was going along, and his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

And [as] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

At that time many will be offended and repelled [by their association with Me] and will fall away [from the One whom they should trust] and will betray one another [handing over believers to their persecutors] and will hate one another.

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in what is a holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)

Let not him that is on the house-top,

let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;

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

"At that time if anyone should say to you, 'Behold, here [is] the Christ,' or 'Here [he is],' do not believe [him]!

So if they say to you, "Look! He's in the wilderness,' don't go out looking for him. And if they say, "Look! He's in the storeroom,' don't believe it,

And he will send his angels, with a great trumpet, and they will gather his People round him from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

And this observe, that if the master of the family had known in which watch of the night the thief would have come, he would have watched, and not have suffered him to break into his house.

Therefore, do you also prepare, since it is just when you are least expecting him that the Son of Man will come.

Blessed is that servant if his lord and master finds him so doing when he arrives!

Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

the master of that servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not,

and will cut him in two and assign his place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

But in the middle of the night there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

But [while] they had gone away to buy [it] the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.

"Likewise, as a certain man, ready to take his journey to a strange country, called his servants to him, and delivered to them his goods.

The one with the five talents soon invested the money in business transactions which netted him five more.

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

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

And he also that had received the two talents came to him and said, My lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,

But his master answered [and] said to him, 'Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter [seed].

Therefore take the talent from him and give [it] to the one who has the ten talents.

For to everyone who has, [more] will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

As for the useless servant, 'put him out into the darkness' outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'

Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed [you], or thirsty and give [you something] to drink?

Then shall they also answer him, saying, 'Master, when saw we thee a hungered, or athirst, or harborless, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and have not ministered unto thee?'

and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill [him].

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came to him a woman;

there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board.

and said, "What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" And they appointed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

The first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus saying unto him, "Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the paschal lamb?"

And he said, "Go into the city, unto such a man, and say to him, The master saith, my time is almost at hand: I will keep mine Easter at thy house with my disciples."

And they were exceeding sorrowful and began each of them to say to him,

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, "Is it I, master?"

The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, "Is it I, master?" He said unto him, "Thou hast said."

Now as they were eating Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

Peter answered, and said unto him, "Though all men should be offended by thee, yet would I never be offended."

Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, that this same night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."

Peter said unto him, "If I should die with thee, yet would I not deny thee." Likewise also said all the disciples.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony.

While he yet spake, Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

And he that betrayed him, gave them a token, saying, "Whosoever I kiss, the same is he: lay hands on him."

And forthwith-all he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail master." And kissed him.

And Jesus said unto him, "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword.

Do you suppose that I am unable to appeal to my Father and have Him furnish me on the spot one hundred thousand angels?

All this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

And they took Jesus and led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.

The chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death,

but they found none: and though many false witnesses came, it was not found sufficient. at last there came two false witnesses, who charg'd him with saying,

And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?"

But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God."

Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky."

Then the head priest tore at his clothing [i.e., as an expression of frustration], saying, "He has spoken against God [i.e., by claiming Deity for Himself]. What additional need do we have for witnesses? Look, you [yourselves] have now heard him speaking against God.

What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face,

while they taunted Him, saying, "Christ, prove yourself a Prophet by telling us who it was that struck you."

Peter sat without in the palace, and a damsel came to him, saying, "Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee."

When he was gone out into the porch, another wench saw him, and said unto them that were there, "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth."

And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”

And after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, "Surely thou art even one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee."

And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he said unto him, "Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice": and went out at the doors and wept bitterly.

when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held a counsel against Jesus, to put him to death,

and brought him bound and delivered him unto Pontius Pilate, the deputy.

Then when Judas, which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself; and brought again the thirty plates of silver to the chief priests and elders,

And having cast down the silver coins in the temple, he withdrew and having gone away, he strangled him self.
