He said, "I have observed all these commands from my youth."

When Jesus heard this he said to him, "You lack one thing more; sell all you have, distribute the money among the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come and follow me."

So he shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!"

The people in front checked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he said, "I want to regain my sight."

Why then did you not put my money into the bank, so that I could have got it with interest when I came back?'

And now for these enemies of mine who objected to me reigning over them ??bring them here and slay them in my presence.' "

"It is written," he told them, "my house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."

He answered them, "Well, I will ask you a question. Tell me,

Said the owner of the vineyard, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'

But when the vinedressers saw him, they argued to themselves, 'Here is the heir, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.'

"Show me a shilling. Whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they replied.

Why, David himself says in the book of psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand,

He said, "Take care that you are not misled; for many will come in my name saying, 'I am he' and 'the time is near' ??do not go after them.

But before all that, men will lay hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to synagogues and prisons; you will be dragged before kings and governors for the sake of my name.

You will be hated by all on account of my name;

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words never.

From hour to hour keep awake, praying that you may succeed in escaping all these dangers to come and in standing before the Son of man."

So Jesus despatched Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us that we may eat it."

and tell the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you, Where is the room in which I can eat the passover with my disciples?'

Then he took a loaf, and after thanking God he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This means my body given up for your sake; do this in memory of me."

So too he gave them the cup after supper, saying, "This cup means the new covenant ratified by my blood shed for your sake.

But the hand of my betrayer is on the table beside me!

It is you who have stood by me through my trials;

so, even as my Father has assigned me royal power,

I assign you the right of eating and drinking at my table in my Realm and of sitting on thrones to rule the twelve tribes of Israel.

but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail. And you in turn must be a strength to your brothers."

Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow to-day before you have three times denied that you know me."

For I tell you, this word of scripture must be fulfilled in me: he was classed among criminals. Yes, there is an end to all that refers to me."

and when he reached the spot he said to them, "Pray that you may not slip into temptation."

saying, "Father, if it please thee, take this cup away from me. But thy will, not mine, be done."

He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not slip into temptation."

Jesus said, "Let me do this at least," and cured him by touching his ear.

Then he said to the high priests and commanders of the temple and elders who had appeared to take him, "Have you sallied out to arrest me like a robber, with swords and cudgels?

Day after day I was beside you in the temple, and you never stretched a hand against me. But this is your hour, and the dark Power has its way."

the Lord turned round and looked at Peter, and then Peter remembered what the Lord had told him, that 'Before cock-crow to-day you will disown me three times.'

"Tell us if you are the Christ." He said to them, "You will not believe me if I tell you,

and you will not answer me when I put a question to you.

Pilate said to them, "You brought me this man as being an inciter to rebellion among the people. I have examined him before you and found nothing criminal about him, for all your accusations against him.

but Jesus turned to them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children!

And he added, "Jesus, do not forget me when you come to reign."

"I tell you truly," said Jesus, "you will be in paradise with me this very day."

Then with a loud cry Jesus said, "Father, I trust my spirit to thy hands," and with these words he expired.

Look at my hands and feet. It is I! Feel me and see; a ghost has not flesh and bones as you see I have."

Then he said to them, "When I was still with you, this is what I told you, that whatever is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

And I will send down on you what my Father has promised; wait in the city till you are endued with power from on high."
