For the Son of Man is soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions.

I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom."

Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way."

"Because your faith is so small," He replied; "for I solemnly declare to you that if you have faith like a mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Remove from this place to that,' and it will remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

they will put Him to death, but on the third day He will be raised to life again." And they were exceedingly distressed.

"However, lest we cause them to sin, go and throw a hook into the Lake, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a shekel in it: bring that coin and give it to them for yourself and me."

said, "In solemn truth I tell you that unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no case be admitted into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

What do you yourselves think? Suppose a man gets a hundred sheep and one of them strays away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go and look for the one that is straying?

Just so it is not the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

But if he will not listen to you, go again, and ask one or two to go with you, that every word spoken may be attested by two or three witnesses.

I solemnly tell you that whatever you as a Church bind on earth will in Heaven be held as bound, and whatever you loose on earth will in Heaven be held to be loosed.

I also solemnly tell you that if two of you here on earth agree together concerning anything whatever that they shall ask, the boon will come to them from my Father who is in Heaven.

The servant therefore falling down, prostrated himself at his feet and entreated him. "'Only give me time,' he said, 'and I will pay you the whole.'

"His fellow servant therefore fell at his feet and entreated him, "'Only give me time,' he said, 'and I will pay you.'

"In the same way my Heavenly Father will deal with you, if you do not all of you forgive one another from your hearts."

So Jesus said to His disciples, "I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.

Then Peter said to Jesus, "See, *we* have forsaken everything and followed you; what then will be *our* reward?"

"But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.

To these also he said, "'You also, go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'

"We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,

and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."

saying to them, "Go to the village you see facing you, and as you enter it you will find a she-ass tied up and a foal with her. Untie her and bring them to me.

And if any one says anything to you, say, 'The Master needs them,' and he will at once send them."

"And I also have a question to ask *you*," replied Jesus, "and if you answer me, I in turn will tell you by what authority I do these things.

John's Baptism, whence was it? --had it a heavenly or a human origin?" So they debated the matter among themselves. "If we say 'a heavenly origin,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

"'I will not,' he replied. "But afterwards he was sorry, and went.

He came to the second and spoke in the same manner. His answer was, "'I will go, Sir.' "But he did not go.

Later still he sent to them his son, saying, "'They will respect my son.'

When then the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?"

"He will put the wretches to a wretched death," was the reply, "and will entrust the vineyard to other vine-dressers who will render the produce to him at the vintage season."

"That, I tell you, is the reason why the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation that will exhibit the power of it.

He who falls on this stone will be severely hurt; but he on whom it falls will be utterly crushed."

"The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "'Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'

At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her."

Blind Pharisee, first wash clean the inside of the cup or dish, and then the outside will be clean also.

"For this reason I am sending to you Prophets and wise men and Scribes. Some of them you will put to death--nay, crucify; some of them you will flog in your synagogues and chase from town to town;

I tell you in solemn truth that all these things will come upon the present generation.

See, your house will now be left to you desolate!

For I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

"You see all these?" He replied; "in solemn truth I tell you that there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be pulled down."

Afterwards He was on the Mount of Olives and was seated there when the disciples came to Him, apart from the others, and said, "Tell us when this will be; and what will be the sign of your Coming and of the Close of the Age?"

"for many will come assuming my name and saying 'I am the Christ;' and they will mislead many.

And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.

For nation will rise in arms against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places;

"At that time they will deliver you up to punishment and will put you to death; and you will be objects of hatred to all the nations because you are called by my name.

Then will many stumble and fall, and they will betray one another and hate one another.

Many false prophets will rise up and lead multitudes astray;

and because of the prevalent disregard of God's law the love of the great majority will grow cold;

And this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world to set the evidence before all the Gentiles; and then the End will come.

for it will be a time of great suffering, such as never has been from the beginning of the world till now, and assuredly never will be again.

And if those days had not been cut short, no one would escape; but for the sake of God's own People those days will be cut short.

For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets, displaying wonderful signs and prodigies, so as to deceive, were it possible, even God's own People.

For just as the lightning flashes in the east and is seen to the very west, so will be the Coming of the Son of Man.

Wherever the dead body is, there will the vultures flock together.

"But immediately after those times of distress the sun will be darkened, the moon will not shed her light, the stars will fall from the firmament, and the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.

Then will appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and then will all the nations of the earth lament, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power and glory.

And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet-blast, and they will bring together His own People to Him from north, south, east and west--from one extremity of the world to the other.

I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all these things having first taken place.

Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.

For as it was in the time of Noah, so it will be at the Coming of the Son of Man.

nor did they realise any danger till the Deluge came and swept them all away; so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.

Then will two men be in the open country: one will be taken away, and one left behind.

Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken away, and one left behind.

Therefore you also must be ready; for it is at a time when you do not expect Him that the Son of Man will come.

In solemn truth I tell you that he will give him the management of all his wealth.

the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him and at an hour of which he has not been informed;

he will treat him with the utmost severity and assign him a place among the hypocrites: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

"Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.

"'But perhaps,' replied the wise, 'there will not be enough for all of us. Go to the shops rather, and buy some for yourselves.'

"'You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,' replied his master; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'

"'Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'

But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: *there* will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,

and all the nations will be gathered into His presence. And He will separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

and will make the sheep stand at His right hand, and the goats at His left.

"Then the King will say to those at His right, "'Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world.

"'When, Lord,' the righteous will reply, 'did we see Thee hungry, and feed Thee; or thirsty, and give Thee drink?

"But the King will answer them, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you rendered such services to one of the humblest of these my brethren, you rendered them to myself.'

"Then will He say to those at His left, "'Begone from me, with the curse resting upon you, into the Fire of the Ages, which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels.

"Then will they also answer, "'Lord, when did we see Thee hungry or thirsty or homeless or ill-clad or sick or in prison, and not come to serve Thee?'

"But he will reply, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you withheld such services from one of the humblest of these, you withheld them from me.'

"You know that in two days' time the Passover comes. And the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."

and the meal was proceeding, when Jesus said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me."

"The one who has dipped his fingers in the bowl with me," He answered, "is the man who will betray me.

I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."

Then said Jesus, "This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written, 'I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered in all directions.'

But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."

"All may stumble and fail," said Peter, "but I never will."

"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."

"Even if I must die with you," declared Peter, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested all the disciples.

Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. "My Father," He said, "if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest."

Again a second time He went away and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is impossible for this cup to pass without my drinking it, Thy will be done."

"I am He," replied Jesus. "But I tell you that, later on, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Omnipotence, and coming on the clouds of the sky."

and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.

"He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"

So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."

"And if this," they added, "is reported to the Governor, we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment."

As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
