but he was hindering Him, saying, "I have need to be immersed by Thee; and dost Thou come to me?"

and says to Him, "If Thou art a Son of God, cast Thyself down; for it has been written, 'He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee; and on their hands they shall bear Thee up; lest at any time Thou shouldest dash Thy foot against a stone.'"

and he said to Him, "All these things will I give Thee, if, falling down, Thou wilt worship me."

And a scribe, coming near, said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou mayst go."

and, behold, they cried out, saying, "What is there to us and to Thee, O Son of God? Didst Thou come here to torment us before the time?"

This is he of whom it has been written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee.'

At that season Jesus, answering, said, "I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, because Thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, and didst reveal them to babes.

Yea, Father, because so it was well-pleasing before Thee!

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from Thee."

[And one said to Him, "Behold, Thy mother and Thy brothers are standing without, seeking to speak to Thee."]

And Peter, answering Him, said, "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come to Thee on the water."

And Peter, taking Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, "God be merciful to Thee! this shall not be to Thee."

And Peter, answering, said to Jesus," Lord, it is good that we are here. If Thou wilt, I will make here three tents??ne for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Then Peter, answering, said to Him, "Behold, we left all, and followed Thee; what, then, shall we have?"

And, when He came into the temple, the high-priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority art Thou doing these things? And who gave Thee this authority?"

"Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see Thee hungering, and fed Thee? or thirsting, and gave Thee drink?

And when did we see Thee a stranger, and took Thee in; or naked, and clothed Thee?

And, when did we see Thee sick, or in prison, and came to Thee?'

"Then will they also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see Thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to Thee?'

And on the first day of the unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Where dost Thou wish that we should prepare for Thee to eat the passover?"

But Peter, answering, said to Him, "If all should be made to stumble because of Thee, I will never be made to stumble."

Peter says to Him, "Even if I must die with Thee, I will not deny Thee." Likewise also said all the disciples.

And the high priest, standing up, said to Him, "Answerest Thou nothing? What are these testifying against Thee?"

But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou art the Christ, the Son of God"

saying, "Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is he that struck Thee?"

Then says Pilate to Him, "Hearest Thou not how many things they testify against Thee?"
