Therefore I say unto you, Whatsoever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye shall have it and it shall be done unto you.

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."

that your father also which is in heaven, may forgive you your trespasses."

and said to him, "By what authority are you doing these [things], or who gave you this authority that you do these [things]?"

Jesus replied to them, if you will answer one question, that I shall propose to you, then I will tell you by what authority I act thus.

It is about John's baptism. Was it of divine or human origin? Answer me that."

answer me that. upon this they reasoned thus with themselves; if we should say, it was divine, he will urge, why then did you not believe him?

But if we shall say, 'Of men,' then fear we the people. For all men counted John, that he was a very prophet."

And at the proper time, he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, that he might receive from the vine-dressers of the fruit of the vineyard.

And again he sent to them another slave, and that one they struck on the head and dishonored.

And he sent another, and that one they killed. And [he sent] many others, [some] of whom they beat and [some] of whom they killed.

Then having still one son, his own beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying; That they will reverence my son.

But those tenants said among themselves, 'This is his heir; come on, let us kill him, and all that is coming to him will be ours.'

Have you not even read this scripture? ??The stone that the builders rejected is the chief stone now of the corner:

it is the Lord, that has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes."

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?

Must we give, or must we not give? But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them: Why do you tempt me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.

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:

"Teacher, in our Scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man's brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.

so that all the seven married her, but left no children. last of all she died.

Jesus said to them, Do ye not err on this account, that ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

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, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

The second one is this, 'You must love your neighbor the same way that you love yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these [i.e., love for God and man]."

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;

Also, to love him with the whole heart, with the whole understanding, and with the whole strength, and to love one's neighbour as oneself ??that is far more than all holocausts 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.

And Jesus, as he was teaching in the temple, answered and said: How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?

David himself calls him 'lord,' how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?" The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.

In the course of his teaching, Jesus said: "See that you are on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,

and to have the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at dinners??40 men that eat up widows' houses and to cover it up make long prayers! They will get a far heavier sentence!"

They are the men that rob widows of their homes, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier."

And he sat over against the treasury, and was beholding how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich were casting in much.

And one poor widow came [and] put in two small copper coins (that is, a penny).

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.

For all have thrown in out of their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has thrown in all that she had, her whole living.

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.

"Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign that all these predictions are about to be fulfilled."

And Jesus began to say to them, See that no one deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray.

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed (frightened, troubled); these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

For nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm; there will be earthquakes here and there, and famines too. All that is but the beginning of the trouble.

See to yourselves! They will betray you to courts of law; and you will be taken to Synagogues and beaten; and you will be brought up before governors and kings for my sake, that you may bear witness before them.

and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.

But when they lead you to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand, nor premeditate what you shall speak; but what ever shall be given you in that hour, that do you speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

And [at that time] a person will turn his brother over to be killed, and the father will do the same to his child. And children will rebel against their parents and will turn them over to be killed.

and you will be hated by all on my account. But he that endures to the end shall be saved.

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 alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days!

And pray that your flight may not be in the winter.

For [in] those days there will be tribulation of such a kind as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will happen.

And except that the Lord had should shorten those days, no man should be saved. But for the elects' sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days.

And at that time if any one should say to you 'Look, here is the Christ!' 'Look, there he is!', do not believe it;

for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.

But see that you are on your guard! I have told you all this beforehand.

But in those days, after that affliction, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light,

and the stars of heaven will fall, and the hosts that are in the heavens will be shaken.

But learn a parable from the fig-tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

So, also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.

Truly do I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, till all these things take place.

Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.

But of that day or that hour no one knows: neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

See that you are on the watch; for you do not know when the time will be.

It is like a man away on a journey, who left his house and gave his slaves authority--to each one his work--and to the doorkeeper he gave orders that he should be on the alert.

so that he may not come unexpectedly and find you asleep.

And that I say unto you, I say unto all men: Watch."

"Only," they said, "it must not be during the festival; that would mean a popular riot."

And while he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined at table, there came a woman that had an alabaster box of ointment of pure nard, very costly; and she broke the box, and poured it on his head.

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

This perfume might have been sold for over three hundred shillings, and the poor might have got that." So they upbraided her.

"Let her alone," said Jesus, as they began to find fault with her, "why are you troubling her? This is a beautiful deed that she has done for me.

She hath done that she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body to his buryingward.

And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

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

When they heard that, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money. And he sought, how he might conveniently betray him.

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 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?'

Then he will show you a large upstairs room that is furnished and ready. Get everything ready for us there."

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me.

And they began to show that they were hurt and to ask Him one by one, "It cannot be I, can it?"

And he said unto them, It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish.

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.

And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many.

Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away [and be ashamed and be afraid to be associated with Me as disciples], because it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

But after that I am risen again I will go into Galilee before you."

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 said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved and overwhelmed with sorrow, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”

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 he said, "Abba father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that thou wilt be done."

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Then he came for the third time and said to them, "Still asleep? still resting? No more of that! The hour has come, here is the Son of man betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
