Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

But [when he] heard these [things] he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?

And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

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 Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

And he was desirous to have a sight of Jesus, what sort of person he was; and he could not, because of the crowd, for he was short of stature.

So he ran forward and climbed into a sycomore tree to get a sight of him, as he was to pass that road.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, and he said, that those servants should be called, to whom he had given the money, in order that he might know what each one had gained by their merchandise.

The first one came before him and said, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

The second one came and said, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.’

And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

Then another came and said, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I have kept laid up in a handkerchief [for safekeeping].

Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

He said to the servant, ‘I will judge and condemn you by your own words, you worthless servant! Did you [really] know that I was a stern man, picking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

[Jesus explained,] ‘I tell you that to everyone who has [because he valued his gifts from God and has used them wisely], more will be given; but from the one who does not have [because he disregarded his gifts from God], even what he has will be taken away.’

And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

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 they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

They said, "How blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!"

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said:

"If you had only known today what could have brought you peace! But now it is hidden from your sight,

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

and He said, “It is written, My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves!”

They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

and said to Him, “Tell us by what kind of authority You are doing these things? Or who is the one who gave You this authority?”

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

So they answered and said that they did not know where it was from.

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

Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time [to another country].

"And he seat still another servant: and him also, having beaten and dishonored, they sent away empty.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

“But when the tenant farmers saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him, so the inheritance will be ours!’

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor’s rule and authority.

So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

They were not able to seize on anything He said in the presence of the people; and being unnerved at His reply, they were silent.

And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

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

And that the dead shall rise again, even Moses signified besides the bush, when he said, 'The Lord God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

Now he is not God of dead men, but of living. For in his sight all are alive."

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto 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, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

the time is coming, said he, when these buildings, which you now view, shall be all thrown down and lost in ruins.

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 heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves:

"But when you see Jerusalem with armies encamping round her on every side, then be certain that her overthrow is close at hand.

And He spoke a parable to them. "See," He said, "the fig-tree and all the trees.

set a guard upon yourselves, that ye be not stupified by surfeiting and drunkenness, or by the disquietudes of this life, and so that day come upon you with a surprize.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that sit on the face of the earth.

But stay alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that must happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Now in the daytime Jesus was teaching in [the porches and courts of] the temple, but at night He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

The feast of sweet bread drew nigh, which is called Easter,

Then came the day of sweet bread, when of necessity the Easter lamb must be offered.

Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. "Go," He said, "and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."

And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

The man will show you a large upstairs room, set out; there make preparations."

And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
