And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world are married and have wives;

And some of the scribes, in answer to this, said, Master, you have said well.

And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

For David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Take your seat at my right hand,

And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

Keep away from the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes, and to have words of respect said to them in the market-places, and to take the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;

And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:

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

And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?

And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

Then he said to them, Nation will be moved against nation and kingdom against kingdom:

And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?

And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.

And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.

And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

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 he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

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

But Jesus, answering, said, Put up with this, at least. And touching his ear, he made it well.

And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.

But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.

And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.

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 the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?

And they said a number of other evil things against him.

If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;

And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong

But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?

And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.

And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him

But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.

And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

But crying out they said, To the cross with him

And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.

And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,

And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

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?

He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,

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 he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?

Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

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 he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

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 they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

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

And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet.

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

And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;
