Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.

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 there was a certain widow in the same city, which came unto him saying, 'Avenge me of mine adversary.'

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not see because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

And he said to him, Well done, thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.

He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;

Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

and they will level you to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you. They will not leave in you one stone on another, all because you did not [come progressively to] recognize [from observation and personal experience] the time of your visitation [when God was gracious toward you and offered you salvation].”

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

now there were seven brothers, the first of which marry'd, and died without children.

In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

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 walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

And he saw also a certain poor widow, which cast in thither two mites.

for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts of God; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.

He said, “Be careful and see to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name [appropriating for themselves the name Messiah which belongs to Me alone], saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near!’ Do not follow them.

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Woe to those women who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For great trouble and anguish will be on the land, and wrath and retribution on this people [Israel].

“There will be signs (attesting miracles) in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth [there will be] distress and anguish among nations, in perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea and the waves,

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

"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].

Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.

He replied, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying an earthen jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house that he enters.

And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

And he took a cup which was handed to him, gave thanks to God and said, "Take this and distribute it among yourselves,

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

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

And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

"Simon, Simon [i.e., Peter], Satan has earnestly requested the right to sift you like wheat.

On which Jesus said: "Let me at least do this"; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.

Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

Day after day when I was with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power and authority of darkness are yours.”

And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.

And as soon as he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Jerusalem in those days.

said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people to rebellion, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

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.

who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.

"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 he loosed to them him cast into prison for sedition, and slaughter, which they demanded; and delivered Jesus to their will.

Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb cut in the rock, in which no one had yet been laid.

And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and 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 upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

upon which they were frightned, and bowed themselves to the very ground: but the men said to them, why do you look among the dead for one that is alive?
