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

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

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.

And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.

For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which live. For all live in him."

which some of the Scribes approving, said to him, master, what you maintain is very just:

"Beware of the scribes, which desire to go in long clothing: and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and chief rooms at feasts,

which devour widows' houses, and that under a colour of long praying: The same shall receive greater damnation."

Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

"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].

Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!

Then they began to discuss among themselves which one it was who was going to do this.

There arose also among them a contention as to which one of them should rank as greatest.

Which one, indeed, is the greater, the guest at the table or the servant who waits on him? Is it not the guest at the table? But I am among you as the servant who waits on you.

And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life

"Why, what harm has this man done?" Pilate said to them for the third time. "I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him."

and taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb cut out of a rock, in which no man had yet been laid.

The women that followed after, which came with him from Galilee, beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid.

then they went home, and provided spices and perfumes: after which they rested the sabbath-day, as the law appointed.

NOW on the first day of the week, at the earliest dawn of day, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the aromatics which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
