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

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

For I say unto you, That unto everyone who has shall be given; and from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

And when he had thus spoken, he went ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

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

And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

And when he came near, even now 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 that they had seen;

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

And when he came near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief men of the people sought to destroy him,

And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

And spoke unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do you these things? or who is he that gave you this authority?

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

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time.

And at the harvest season he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

He shall come and destroy these tenants, 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?

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do you test me?

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

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

And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

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

David therefore called him Lord, how is he then his son?

Then in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in there two mites.

And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than they all:

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

And he said, Take heed that you be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draws near: go not therefore after them.

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

And he spoke to them a parable; Look at the fig tree, and all the trees;

And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

And he went his way, and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

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

And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

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

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

And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

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

And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

But you shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that does serve.

For who is greater, he that sits at table, or he that serves? is not he that sits at table? but I am among you as he that serves.

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

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

And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before you shall three times deny that you know me.

And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and bag, and sandals, lacked you anything? And they said, Nothing.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his bag: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have a fulfillment.

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

And he came out, and went, as was his custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that you enter not into temptation.

And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

And when he rose up from prayer, and came to his disciples, he found them sleeping from the grief,

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

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

And Jesus answered and said, No more of this. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

But a certain maidservant beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

And he denied it, saying, Woman, I know him not.

And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilean.

And Peter said, Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed.

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times.

Are you the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, you will not believe:

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

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.

And they were the more urgent, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

Then he questioned him with many words; but he answered him nothing.

And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming in from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God.

And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the spirit.

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a member of the council and he was a good man, and just:

(The same had not consented to the council and the action of them;) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which never man before was laid.

And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
