Then they threw their coats upon it and mounted Jesus upon it. As He was going on, the people continued to spread their coats under Him on the road.

But some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, speak sternly to your disciples [i.e., to prevent them from honoring Jesus]."

But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”

And when Jesus got close and saw the city [of Jerusalem], He cried over it,

Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out those who sold [things there],

And Jesus was teaching in the Temple every day. But the leading priests and the experts in the law of Moses and the leading men of the people were looking [for a way] to kill Him,

And it happened on one of the days that Jesus was teaching people in the Temple and preaching the good news, that the leading priests and the experts in the law of Moses, [along] with the [Jewish] elders, came to Him.

Jesus answer'd, I will ask you one question;

Then they answered Jesus that they did not know [who authorized John's immersion].

And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Then Jesus began speaking to the people. [Note: And perhaps to the religious leaders as well. See Mark 11:18 with 12:1]. He told them this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, then leased it out to tenant farmers and went to another country for a long time.

So, they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? [Jesus asked].

then Jesus looking upon them, said, what is the meaning then of that expression, "the stone, which the builders rejected, is become the chief stone of the angle."

Then the experts in the law of Moses and the leading priests attempted to arrest Jesus right away, [but hesitated] because they feared [what] the people [might do], since they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.

Having watched their opportunity, they afterwards sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor's jurisdiction and authority.

These men asked Jesus a question. They said: "Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a man's position, but teach the Way of God honestly;

but Jesus perceiving their malicious design, said to them, why do you practise upon me?

"The Emperor's," they said; and Jesus replied: "Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God."

And they were not able to get hold of anything Jesus said in front of the people. And they marveled at His answer and did not say anything [further].

[Then] certain Sadducees came to Jesus (they are the ones who say there is no resurrection [of the dead]).

And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

Then certain experts in the law of Moses replied to Jesus, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

But Jesus said to them, you affirm the Messiah must be descended from David, how can that be?

For David himself said in the book of Psalms [Psa. 110:1], 'The Lord [i.e., God] said to my [i.e., David's] Lord [i.e., Jesus], sit at my right side

Since David called Him [i.e., Jesus] Lord, how could He be his son?"

Then Jesus said to His disciples in the hearing of all the people,

As Jesus was observing the rich casting their offerings into the treasury,

Then, as someone [i.e., of His disciples. See Mark 13:1], spoke of how the Temple was decorated with beautiful stones and objects dedicated as gifts, Jesus said,

So the disciples questioned Jesus: "But, Teacher, when will this be? and what sign will there be when this is near?"

And Jesus said: "See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying 'I am He,' and 'The time is close at hand.' Do not follow them.

And when you hear of wars and uprisings [going on], do not be afraid, for such things must necessarily happen first. But the end will not come right away." [Note: By "the end" here Jesus probably alludes to the downfall of Jerusalem, in AD 70, with its attending destruction of the Temple buildings].

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Nations will wage war against one another and kingdoms will attack one another.

Then Jesus told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, as well as all [other] trees:

"But pay attention to yourselves so that your hearts do not become overburdened by carousing, and drunkenness, and the worries of life. [If you do], that 'day' [i.e., Jesus' second coming and judgment] will arrive suddenly, like a trap [i.e., which catches an animal by surprise].

Thus Jesus used to teach in the temple by day, and retir'd to the mountain of Olives by night.

being nigh, the chief priests consulted with the Scribes, how they might put Jesus to death; for they were afraid of the people.

So, he left [probably the house of Simon, the man healed of an infectious skin disease. See Matt. 26:6-13] and went and discussed with the leading priests and captains [i.e., of the Temple guard] how he could turn Jesus over to them.

So Judas consented [to their offer] and looked for a [good] opportunity to turn Jesus over to them [i.e., the Jewish leaders] when the crowd was not present.

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

so they went, and having found every thing as Jesus had said, they made ready the passover.

And when the time came [for the Passover meal], Jesus reclined with His apostles [at the table]. [Note: See Matt. 23:6].

Then Jesus took a cup [Note: This was one of the cups partaken of during the Passover meal], and after giving thanks to God [for it], He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves,

Then Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and gave to them, with the words: "This is my body, [which is now to be given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me."

Jesus therefore told them, the kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they, who are invested with their authority, take the title of benefactors.

Then said Jesus, Simon, Simon, satan has demanded to shake you, and my disciples, like wheat in a sieve.

but Jesus said, before the cock proclaims the day, you will thrice deny that ever you knew me.

When I sent you, added Jesus, without either purse, or bag, or shoes, was you in any want? not at all, answer'd they.

For I tell you that this [passage of Scripture], which was written about me, must be fulfilled [Isa. 53:12]: 'And He [i.e., Jesus] was counted with [i.e., as though He were one of] the criminals.' For the part [of that passage] that refers to me is being fulfilled."

And the apostles said, "Look, Lord, we have two swords [here]." And Jesus replied, "That is enough." [Note: Possibly Jesus means, "enough talk about weapons"].

Then Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed to doing [each evening during His final week], and His disciples followed Him.

Then Jesus went away from them about the distance of a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed,

While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

And when [the rest of] the disciples, who were gathered around Jesus, saw what was about to happen, they said, "Lord, do you want us to strike them with a sword?"

But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

Then they arrested Jesus and led Him away to the head priest's house [i.e., Caiaphas. See Matt. 26:57]. But Peter followed Him from a distance [i.e., as they went to the head priest's courtyard].

Then a certain [servant] girl saw Peter sitting there in the light of the fire. As she stared at him she said, "This man was with Jesus, too."

but he renounc'd Jesus, saying, woman, I don't know him.

Then a little while later, someone else saw Peter and said, "You are one of them also [i.e., one of Jesus' disciples]." But Peter replied, "Man, I am not."

And about an hour later someone else stated emphatically, "I know for sure that this man was also with him [i.e., Jesus], for he is from Galilee [too]." [Note: Peter's accent gave him away. See Matt. 26:73].

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him.

And when it became daylight, the body of [Jewish] elders of the people, [consisting of] both leading priests and experts in the law of Moses, was gathered together. Then they led Jesus away to their Council [called the "Sanhedrin"], and asked Him,

"If you are the Christ," they said, "tell us so." "If I tell you," replied Jesus, "you will not believe me;

"Are you, then, the Son of God?" they all asked. "It is true," answered Jesus, "I am."

At length the whole assembly broke up, and Jesus was conducted to Pilate:

then Pilate ask'd him, art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus answer'd him, 'tis as you say.

And when he realized that Jesus was under Herod's [political] jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

So he continued to question Him for a long time, but Jesus gave him no answer at all.

but Jesus made him no answer, tho' the chief priests and Scribes maintain'd their charge with vehemence.

Then Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked Him. They dressed Him in a luxurious robe and then sent Him back to Pilate.

But the people all joined together shouting, "Take this man [i.e., Jesus] and release Barabbas to us [instead]."

Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed to them again.

And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

But the people loudly demanded that Jesus be crucified. And their shouting won out.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

A large crowd of people followed Jesus, including some women who wailed [in grief] and mourned over His plight.

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

At the same time, two malefactors were led along to be crucified with Jesus.

Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they divided his garments and cast lots.

And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

The soldiers also made fun of Jesus by coming up and offering him sour wine,

One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us," he said.

Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." And having said this, he breathed his last.

And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

And after the crowds that had gathered to witness this sight saw what had happened they left, beating their chests [i.e., as an expression of anguish over witnessing Jesus' death].

And all those who knew Jesus stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw these things.

This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

So the women, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, followed closely after Joseph and saw the tomb and how His body was laid there.

So, they returned [home] and prepared spices and [aromatic] oils [i.e., for embalming Jesus' body]. Then they rested on the Sabbath day according to the [fourth] commandment. [See Ex. 20:10].

Now at early dawn on the first day of the week [i.e., early Sunday morning], the women [See Mark 16:1] went to Jesus' grave site, taking the spices which they had prepared [for His burial].

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, And entering, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
