Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the sons of Israel priced,

They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came.

and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

Now while they were going, look, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

And Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

And when they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.

And he said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry?he, and those who were with him?

And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

And when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."

And when he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.

because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. No one had the strength to tame him.

And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came out to see what it was that had happened.

They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.

And he did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."

So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

Now a woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,

and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.

And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.

Then the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.

And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And he came out, saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.

For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, immediately came and fell down at his feet.

They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

In those days, when there was a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to himself, and said to them,

They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.

And they began discussing among themselves that they had no bread.

He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

He had one left, a beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and do not defer to anyone; for you are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife."

And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Seeing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"

for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.

The disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

As they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

He took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."

When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said, "Rabbi." and kissed him.

Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.

There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

Pilate, wishing to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

Afterward he was revealed to the Eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.

Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.

It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah.
