Then was Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.

The people who sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shades of death, light hath arisen.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

But let your communication be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these cometh of evil.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.

But if thy eye be evil, thy whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and behold, a beam is in thy own eye?

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick with a fever.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that publish ye upon the house-tops.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Then shall the righteous shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both will fall into the ditch.

Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And he was transfigured before them: and his face shone as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church: but if he shall neglect to hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.

Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered.

Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:

But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

But they made light of it, and went, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever readeth, let him understand,)

Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:

Let him who is on the house-top not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, Why art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staffs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

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

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

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

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, expired.

And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.
