what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'

And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.

And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.

For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.

and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and looking round about upon all things, it being now even-tide, he departed to Bethany with the twelve.

and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

And when they were going by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dead from the roots.

And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

But, should we say, Of men -- , they were in fear of the multitude, for, one and all, were holding John, in very deed, that he was, a prophet.

and they, having taken him, did severely beat him, and did send him away empty.

and having taken him, they did kill, and cast him forth without the vineyard.

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

from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes"?

and Jesus answering said to them, 'Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him.

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

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut. 25:5] that if a man's brother dies, leaving his widow behind without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children by her. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother's.

There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;

and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.

And the seven took her and did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.

In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

And Jesus answered, "The foremost one is this [Deut. 6:4-5], 'Hear this, you Israelites, the Lord our God is the only Lord,

and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

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.

as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you cause trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me.

what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.

Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that today--this night--before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times!"

And again He came back and found them sleeping, because their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know how to answer Him.

And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, 'Sleep on henceforth, and rest -- it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;

And Jesus answering, said to them, "Did ye come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to seize Me?

I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but it is that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,

and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find any.

For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.

But neither so did their witness agree together.

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?'

Did you hear his blasphemy? What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving to be put to death.

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;

and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

And there was he called Barabbas, bound with those exciting sedition, who did murder in the revolt.

The crowd came up and began asking Pilate to do as he usually did for them.

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

And Pilate said to them, 'Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, 'Crucify him;'

And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.

And they offered him wine to drink medicated with myrrh; but he did not take it.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? (which being translated is, My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?)

And a man ran, and, soaking a sponge in common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink, saying as he did so: "Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down."

And the veil of the temple did rent in two pieces, from the top to the bottom.

And when the Centurion who stood in front of the cross saw that He was dead, he exclaimed, "This man was indeed God's Son."

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

And when he learned from the centurion [that Jesus was in fact dead], he gave the body to Joseph [by granting him permission to remove it].

So Joseph purchased a [fine] linen cloth [for wrapping the body], and after taking Jesus down [from the cross], he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and placed Him in a tomb which had been cut out of rock. Then he rolled a [large, wheel-shaped] stone against the entrance of the tomb.

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 went out quickly and fled from the tomb. For they trembled and were amazed. Neither did they say anything to anyone, for they were afraid.

And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;

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

and they went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.

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;

and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.
