Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain alone by themselves. There his appearance was transformed before their eyes,

And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they talked with Jesus.

And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is my dear son, hear him."

And suddenly, on looking round, 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 from there they went out [and] passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,

But Jesus said, "Forbid him not. For there is no man that shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak 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.

then Jesus looking upon him with a favourable eye, said, there is one thing still to be done; go, sell all your estate, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, other children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's,

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 come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.

When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

and said to them, "Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

And divers of them that stood there, said unto them, "What do ye loosing the colt?"

So He came into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and after looking round upon everything there, the hour being now late He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

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.

Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,

Then Peter remembered. "Rabbi," he said, "there is the fig tree you cursed, all withered!"

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 as he walked in the temple, there came to him the high priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

Presently Jesus began to speak to them in parables. "There was once a man," he said, "who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine-press, built a tower, rented it to tenants, and went abroad.

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 the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him, and put a question to him, saying:

Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying, left no child;

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

When men rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels 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?"

And the second, which is like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as your self. There is no other commandment greater than these.

And the scribe said to him: Teacher, in truth you have well said, that there is one God, and there is no other beside him;

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 one poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

And Jesus answering, said to him: Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines, and tumults.

for those days will be a time of tribulation, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

And then, if any one say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or, Lo! there; believe him not.

for there will arise false Christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; and'she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head.

But there were some that had indignation among themselves,'saying , To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?

I tell you in solemn truth that wherever the gospel is preached throughout the whole world, there what she has done shall be told in remembrance of her."

And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow 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 himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready: and there make ready for us.

In the evening he went there 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 followed him a certain young man, who had a linen garment around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him;

And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

Peter, who had followed Jesus at a distance into the court- yard of the High Priest, was sitting there among the police- officers, warming himself at the blaze of the fire.

For, though there were many who gave false evidence against him, yet their evidence did not agree.

And there stood up certain, and bare 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 as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh 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 there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the by-standers: "This is one of them!"

Again he denied it. After a little while, the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, "Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!"

And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

There they offered him drugged wine; but Jesus refused it.

And it was the third hour, when they crucified him. And there was an inscription of his written over,

Over his head there was written the words of the charge against him. "The King of the Jews"

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

When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "Listen! He's calling for Elijah!"

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,

They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.

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.
