and answering they say to Jesus, 'We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:

and they having come, say to him, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'

And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

And Jesus answering said to them, 'Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?

And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.'

And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, 'Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him.

and Jesus answering said to him, 'Seest thou these great buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.'

and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end is not yet;

'And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

'And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;

and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter,

for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.

And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

'But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son -- except the Father.

Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;

and they said, 'Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.'

for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'

and Jesus saith to them -- 'All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

And Peter said to him, 'And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

And Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

and he said, 'Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.'

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, 'Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me -- but that the Writings may be fulfilled.'

And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding,

for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, 'Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?'

and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?'

And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, 'What need have we yet of witnesses?

and he denied, saying, 'I have not known him, neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

and he began to anathematize, and to swear -- 'I have not known this man of whom ye speak;'

And Pilate again questioned him, saying, 'Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

And he saith to them, 'Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise -- he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!

and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.

Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
