The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the son of God.

And he said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter answered and said unto him, "Thou art very Christ."

"And whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink for my name's sake because ye are belonging to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

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

For many shall come in my name, saying, 'I am Christ,' and shall deceive many.

And then, if any man say to you, 'Lo, here is Christ, lo, he is there,' believe not.

For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets; And shall show miracles and wonders, to deceive if it were possible, even the elect.

And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?"

Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe." And they that were crucified with him, checked him also.
