And after six days had passed, Jesus took Peter, James and John aside alone and went up to a high mountain [i.e., probably Mt. Tabor, which was nearby]. [There] His whole appearance was [miraculously] changed in front of them.

And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And suddenly, on looking around, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.

and many a time it has thrown him into the fire or into the water, to destroy him. But if there is anything you can do for him, do pity us and help us!"

Jesus said to him, "If there is anything I can do! Everything is possible for him who has faith!"

And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.

For in hell the worm of those who are there will never die [i.e., their gnawing punishment will never cease] and the fire [there] will never go out.

Salt is excellent: but if salt is tasteless, how are you to restore its flavour? Let there be 'salt between you'; be at peace with one another."

And from there he set out [and] came to the region of Judea and the other side of the Jordan, and again crowds came together to him. And again, as he was accustomed [to do], he began to teach them.

And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying him.

And when he was come out into the way, there came one running and kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?"

Jesus said to him, "Why callest thou me good? There is no man good but one, which is God.

Now Jesus and His disciples were [traveling] along the road, going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus moving on ahead of the others. The disciples were amazed and they followed [behind Him] fearfully. [Note: From the context, it appears their amazement was due to His eagerness to enter Jerusalem in spite of the imminent danger they felt awaited Him there]. He took the twelve apostles aside and began telling them about the things that were going to happen to Him.

"Listen!" he said. "We are going up to Jerusalem; and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law, and they will condemn him to death, and they will give him up to the Gentiles,

And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

and *said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

Then Jesus entered the Temple in Jerusalem, and after looking around at everything [there], He left for Bethany with the twelve apostles, since it was evening by then. [Note: Jesus stayed overnight at Bethany during the week prior to His crucifixion. See verse 19].

After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;

And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

And they having come, say to Him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and there is not a care to thee for any one: for thou dost not look into the face of men, but thou dost teach the way of God in truth: is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? must we give, or must we not give?

And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,

There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and at his death there were no offspring;

And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:

For when people rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, but they live as angels do in heaven.

And there came one of the scribes, that had heard them disputing together, and perceived that he had answered them well, and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?"

The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.

And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:

and that beside him there is none other, and to love him with all one's heart and with all one's understanding and with all one's might, and to love one's neighbor as oneself is far beyond all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.

And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.

Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.

For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.

And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:

Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.

But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.

And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

But some were expressing indignation to one another: "Why has there been this waste of perfumed oil?

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached through the whole world, there shall, what she hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

and whatever house he goes into, tell the owner that the Teacher says, 'Where is my room, that I may eat the passover there with my disciples?'

And he will take you up himself to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready for us.

There he came in the evening with the twelve.

So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."

But one of those standing there drew his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

And the disciples all forsook Him and fled: but there followed Him a certain youth,

And there was a certain young man that followed him clothed in linen upon the bare, and the young men caught him,

And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

And Peter followed him a great way off, even into the palace of the high priest, and he was there and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

there were indeed several, who depos'd what was false against him: besides, what they deposed was insufficient.

And there arose certain and brought false witness against him, saying,

then the high priest rent his robes, and said to the council, what occasion is there for any more witnesses?

And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,

But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.

And the waiting girl saw him there and began again to tell the bystanders, "This fellow is one of them!"

But again he denied it. After a little while those standing there said to Peter again, “You certainly are one of them, since you’re also a Galilean!”

And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

And there was an inscription of his crime written over him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And when the sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;

And there ran one, and filled a spunge with vinegar, and putting it on a reed offered it Him to drink, saying, Let Him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to take Him down.

And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,

There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a [long, stately] white robe; and they were amazed and bewildered.

But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been raised! He is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him.

But go, say to his disciples and to Peter, He goes before you into Galilee: there you will see him, as he said to you.

They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.
