And the Pharisees came and asked him a question, whether it were lawful for a man to put away his wife, to prove him.

Tempting him. And he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?

And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

And in the house his disciples asked him again of that matter.

And if she herself divorces her husband and marries another [man], she commits sexual unfaithfulness [toward him]."

And they brought children to him that he should touch them. And his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

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.

He answered and said to him, "Master, all these I have observed from my youth."

Jesus beheld him, and had a favour to him, and said unto him, "One thing is lacking unto thee. Go, and sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me, and take up thy cross on thee."

Then Jesus looked around Him and said to His disciples, "How difficult it is for rich people to enter the kingdom of God "

And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him - Who, then, can, be saved?

And Peter began to say unto him, "Lo, we have forsaken all, and have followed thee."

Jesus answered him, I declare unto you, there is not a man who has forsaken his house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, out of love to me and to the gospel,

but shall receive at present in this age, what will be a hundred times better to him, than houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, tho' with persecution: and in the age to come eternal life.

And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus went before them. And they were amazed. And as they followed, were afraid. And Jesus took the twelve again, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him.

"Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be delivered unto the high priests and unto the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the gentiles,

and they shall mock him, and scourge him and spit upon him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again."

And then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came unto him, saying, "Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we desire."

They said to him, "Grant unto us that we may sit one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory."

And they said unto him, "That we can." Jesus said unto them, "Ye shall drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and be baptised with the baptism that I shall be baptised in:

When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at James and John, so Jesus called them to him and said:

But Jesus called them unto him, and said to them, "Ye know well that they which seem to bear rule among the gentiles, reign as Lords over them. And they that be great among them exercise authority over them.

But it shall not be so with you: but whosoever will be great among you let him be your servant:

and whosoever will be first, let him be the servant of all.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried the more a great deal, "Thou son of David have mercy on me."

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called: and they called the blind, saying unto him, "Be of good comfort, rise, he called thee."

So they called the blind man and told him, "Have courage! Get up. He's calling you." He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "What wilt thou that I do unto thee?" The blind said unto him, "Master, that I might see."

Jesus said unto him, "Go thy way, thy faith hath saved thee." And by and by he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

and said unto them, "Go your ways into the town that is over against you. And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt bound, whereon never man sat: loose him and bring him hither.

And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye so?' say that the Lord hath need of him: and straightway he will send him hither."

And they went their way, and found a colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met, and they loosed him.

But they answered him exactly what Jesus had told them to say, so the people let them go.

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him.

and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting. "Hosanna! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed be the kingdom that cometh in the name of him that is Lord of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."

Then he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you after this!" The disciples heard him say it.

This came to the ears of the scribes and high priests, and they tried to get him put to death, for they were afraid of him. But the multitude were all astounded at his teaching.

And Peter remembered, and said unto him, "Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst, is withered away."

Jesus replied to him, "You should have faith in God.

Verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Take away thyself, and cast thyself into the sea'; and shall not waver in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he sayeth shall come to pass, whatsoever he sayeth shall be done to him.

Also, whenever you stand up to pray, if you have anything against anybody, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

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,

and asked him, "What authority have you for acting in this way? Who gave you authority to act in this way?"

Now they argued to themselves, "[What are we to say?] If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why did you not believe him.'

"If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did ye not believe him!' But, should we say, 'From men,'"??hey feared the people; for all held John to be a prophet indeed.

And when the [grape harvest] season came, the owner of the farm sent a slave to the tenant farmers asking them to deliver the grape crop [to him].

And they took him and scourged him, and sent him away without any thing.

And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they scourged, and some they killed.

Therefore, having yet one son, his beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying, They will reverence my son.

But those vine-dressers said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

And they sought to take him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them; and they left him, and went away.

And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in his words.

And they came and said to him: Teacher, we know that you are true, and that you care for no one; for you do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

They brought it; and he said to them: Whose image and superscription is this? They said to him: Caesar's.

And Jesus answered and said to them: Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s. And they were astonished at him.

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

"Master, Moses wrote unto us, if any man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children: that then his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

There were seven brethren and the first took a wife, and when he died left no seed behind him.

and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:

But concerning the dead, that they do rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, at The Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

And one of the scribes came, and heard them reasoning together; and perceiving that he had answered them well, he asked him: Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

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 to love him with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

And Jesus perceiving that he answered with understanding, said to him: You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one, after that, ventured to ask him a question.

David himself, then, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the great multitude heard him with pleasure.

And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury.

And as he was going out from the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!

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.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately:

But when you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

let not him that is on the house-top go down into his house, nor enter in to take any thing from his house;

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his mantle.

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

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather to him his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the utmost bound of heaven.

As a man going away, leaving his house, and giving authority to his servants, and each man's work to him, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:

But they reasoned, "We will not [take him] during the Festival, because it might start a riot among the people."

And while Jesus was in Bethany [Note: This was a small village fewer than two miles east of Jerusalem], sitting at the dinner table in the house of Simon, the man with an infectious skin disease [Note: This man had probably been healed by now], a woman with an alabaster [i.e., stone] jar of very expensive perfume came to Him, broke the jar and poured the perfume on His head.

And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them.

And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him unto them .

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?

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;

follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house: The Teacher says, "Where is the room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?

They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?

For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

While they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it [giving thanks and praise], and He broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take it. This is My body.”

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.
