But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

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.

Then will be seen the 'Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory.

But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.

Then by way of similitude, consider, said he, the fig-tree, and all the other trees;

When they put out [foliage], now you see for yourselves [and] know that by this time the summer is near.

So also, when you see these things happening, you may be sure that the Kingdom of God is near.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

as a snare, - For it will come in by surprise, upon all them that are dwelling on the face of all the earth.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

And by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called the mount of Olives;

And, all the people, were coming at day-break unto him, in the temple, to be hearkening unto him.

And he went and conversed with the chief priests and the captains, by what means he could betray him unto them.

This gave them great pleasure, and they agreed to pay him.

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

And he said unto them, "Behold, when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, him follow into the same house that he entereth in,

and say to the master of the house, Our Master inquireth by us, Where is the room, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?

So, they went and found [everything] just as Jesus told them [it would be], and they prepared for the Passover meal.

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God be come."

Then He took a [small] loaf of bread, and after He had given thanks to God, He broke it and gave [pieces] to His apostles, and said, "This is [i.e., represents] my [physical] body which is [to be] given for you; continue to do this [i.e., eat it regularly] to remember me by."

In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant established by My blood; it is shed for you.

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

And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

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

Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’

But ye 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 doth serve.

You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials.

So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

“Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain;

But I prayed earnestly for you, that your faith would not fail [to be strong]. And when you have turned back [i.e., from going astray briefly], provide [spiritual] support to your brothers."

But, he, said unto him - Lord! with thee, am I, ready, both into prison and unto death, to be going.

He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times."

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath 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 an end.

Jesus then went out, and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, followed by his disciples.

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

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief;

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

While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared in sight, led by the man called Judas, who was one of the Twelve. Judas approached Jesus, to kiss him;

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

And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, 'Sir, shall we smite with a sword?'

But Jesus, answering, said - Let be - as long as this! -- And, touching the ear, he healed him.

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?

When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

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

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.

or blindfolded Him, and then challenged Him. "Prove to us," they said, "that you are a prophet, by telling us who it was that struck you."

As soon as it was day, the rulers of the people, the chief priests and the Scribes being assembled, they order'd him to be brought before their council,

saying, 'If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

and began to accuse him, saying, 'This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'

But, they, began to be urgent, saying - He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.

When he learned that he was from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who also happened to be in Jerusalem at that time.

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

The chief priests and the scribes were standing there, continually accusing Him heatedly.

And humiliating Him with his guardsmen, and mocking Him by putting luxurious clothing around Him, Herod sent Him again to Pilate.

no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.

I will therefore order him to be whipp'd, and then release him.

So, Pilate called out to them a third time, "Why [should he be crucified]; what wrong has this man done? I have not found any reason for putting him to death, so I will punish him and [then] release him."

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

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he handed over Jesus to their will.

He was followed by a large multitude of the people and also of women who beat their breasts and lamented him;

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

For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not given birth, and the breasts that have never nursed.’

And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing His clothes among themselves.

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

The soldiers also made fun of Jesus by coming up and offering him sour wine,

And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Then he said, "Jesus, remember [to be merciful to] me when you come into your kingdom."

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour

And when the military officer in charge of one hundred men saw what had happened, he honored God [by] saying, "Certainly this man had [always] done what was right."

And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,

And then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they went to the sepulchre with the spices they had provided, accompanied by several others.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

He is not here, but hath risen. Remember how be spoke to you while yet in Galilee,

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn't believe them.

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

But their eyes continued to be held that they should not recognize him even for an instant,

But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him - Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days?

He said to them, "What things?" "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene," they replied, "a man who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people;

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

Even some of our women have startled us by what they told us. They were at the tomb early this morning

and, not finding his body, came, saying - that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.

And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it to be as the women had said; but him they saw not.

then Jesus said to them, how stupidly incredulous are you not to believe things that have been all predicted by the prophets!
