You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?

For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;

so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.

See, your house will now be left to you desolate!

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.

But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.

And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;

All this, however, will be but the beginning of the birth pangs!

Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.

And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.

And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.

But he who goes through to the end will get salvation.

And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

And pray that it will not be in the winter or on a Sabbath day when you will have to flee [from the city]. [Note: Jewish Sabbath day restrictions on travel (only three-fifths of a mile) and city gate closures would make leaving the city nearly impossible].

Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles come together.

But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

So when you see all these things, you will know that He is right at your door.

Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

"But no one knows when that day or hour will come. Not even the angels in heaven or the Son [of God] know [when it will happen], but only the Father [does].

And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.

And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

Then two men will be in the field; one is taken, and one let go;

Two women will be crushing grain; one is taken, and one let go.

Be watching, then! for you have no knowledge on what day your Lord will come.

Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.

"Who then will be the faithful, thoughtful slave whom his master put in charge of his household, to give the members of it their supplies at the proper time?

A blessing on that servant, who will be doing so when his lord comes.

Truly, I say to you, he will put him over all he has.

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, my master will defer his coming,

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.

But the wise ones answered saying, "Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell [olive oil] and buy [some] for yourselves.'

Therefore, you should be watchful, for you do not know the day or hour [i.e., when the Son of man will return].

For it will be as when a man going abroad called his own servants, and intrusted to them his property;

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

And put out the servant who is of no profit into the outer dark: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

And he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?

And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?

Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.

After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.

But they were saying, "Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people."

for you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."

and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

Now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.

When the evening was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they ate he said, Verily I say to you, One of you will betray me.

And [while] they were eating he said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me."

And he answered [and] said, "The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me--this one will betray me.

The Son of Man is going away as the Scriptures say of Him, but a curse will be on that man by whom He is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had never been born!"

But I tell you, from now [on] I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."

Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."

But Peter answered [and] said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"

Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!"

Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same [thing].

And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you [will]."

Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak!"

Again for the second time he went away [and] prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done."

Get up, let us be going. Look, the one who will turn me over [to the Jewish leaders] is nearby."

And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign, saying, 'Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;'

Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword.

Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”

But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

Jesus said to him, "You have said [it]. But I tell you, from now [on] you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."

And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times," and he went outside [and] wept bitterly.

saying: I have sinned in having delivered up innocent blood. They replied: What is that to us? You will see to that.

They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

When Pilate saw that he gained nothing, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, and said: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; you will see to it.

"He saved others; he is not able to save himself! He is the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him!

He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will have him. For he said, I am Son of God.

Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him."

saying, "Sir, we remember that [while] that deceiver was still alive he said, 'After three days I will rise.'

Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come [and] steal him and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
