Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."

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

Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'

Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.

John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God,

Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

All the city was gathered together at the door.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.

When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

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

It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.

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?

How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"

He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

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

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 as healthy as the other.

A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you."

Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

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

When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.

A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?"

He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

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

Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.

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

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

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

Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"

They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn't wish to refuse her.

When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.

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

Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,

but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

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

Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

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

Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."

He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"

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

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

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

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

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

Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

The baptism of John -- was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me."

When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

Haven't you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.

This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard -- very costly. She broke the jar, and poured it over his head.

Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

When it was evening he came with the twelve.

They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came -- and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

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.

As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,

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

It was the third hour, and they crucified him.

The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."

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

The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
