And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,

And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:

And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

And he went into the Temple and put out those who were trading there,

And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;

But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.

And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.

And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

Now there were seven brothers, and the first had a wife and came to his end, having no children;

And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.

And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.

And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.

And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.

And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS

And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.

And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.
