trying him and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Whose son is he? They say to him, David's.

He saith to them, How doth David then by the Spirit call him Lord?

If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any from that day question him any more.

Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compass sea and land, to make one proselyte, and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth therein.

And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

And Jesus going out of the temple departed: and his disciples came to him, to shew him the buildings of the temple.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (he that readeth, let him understand;) Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:

Let not him that is on the house-top,

Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Verily I say to you, he will make him ruler over all his goods.

The Lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expecteth him not, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

But at midnight there was a cry, Behold the bridegroom cometh: come ye out to meet him.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage; and the door was shut.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things: I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

His lord answering said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather whence I had not scattered?

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it him who hath ten talents.

For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, shall be taken away even what he hath.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.

And all nations shall be gathered before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? Or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Then shall they also answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not micister to thee?

And consulted, how they might apprehend Jesus by subtlety and kill him.

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came to him a woman;

Said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you?

And they bargained with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

On tbe first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

And they were exceeding sorrowful and began each of them to say to him,

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed: it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Then Judas who betrayed him answering said, Master, Is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast said.

Peter answering said to him, Tho' all should be offended at thee, I will never be offended.

Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, before cock-crowing thou wilt deny me thrice.

Peter saith to him, If I must die with thee, yet will I in no wise deny thee. In like manner also said all the disciples.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and in deep anguish.

And while he was yet speaking, lo Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Now he that betrayed him, had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, is he; seize him.

And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said, Hail, Master, and kissed him.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, Wherefore art thou come? Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword.

But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

And they that had apprehended Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Peter followed him afar off to the high priest's palace, and going in, sat with the officers, to see the end.

to put him to death, But found none; yea, tho' many false witnesses came, yet found they none.

And the high priest rising up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, to tell us, if thou art the Christ, the Son of God?

Jesus saith to him, Thou hast said. Moreover I say to you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right-hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others smote him,

Now Peter sat without in the hall. And one of the maid-servants came to him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, Before cock-crowing thou wilt deny me thrice. And he went out and wept bitterly.

When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to put him to death.

And having bound him, they led him away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governour.

Then Judas who had betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value,

And Jesus stood before the governour. And the governour questioned him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.

Then said Pilate to him, Hearest thou not, how many things they witness against thee?

And he answered him to never a word, so that the governour marvelled greatly.

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

While he sat on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things to-day in a dream because of him.

They say, Barabbas. Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. Then Pilate, seeing, that he could prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just man: see ye to it.

Then released he Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Then the soldiers of the governour, taking Jesus into the common hall, gathered to him the whole troop.

And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe,

And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a cane in his right-hand; and kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews.

And spitting on him, they took the cane and smote him on the head.

And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

And coming out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

And coming to a place called Golgotha, that is, the place of a skull, They gave him vinegar mingled with gall to drink,

And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.

And sitting down, they guarded him there, And set up over his head his accusation written,

Then were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right-hand and one on the left.

And they that were passing by reviled him, wagging their heads and saying,

In like manner the chief priests also with the scribes and elders mocking him said, He saved others; Cannot he save himself?

let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God: let him deliver him now if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

And even the robbers that were crucified with him, cast the same reproach upon him.

And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge filled it with vinegar, and put it on a cane, and gave him to drink.

The rest said, Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

And the centurion and they that were with him, guarding Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that were done, feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

And many women were there, beholding afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured till the third day, lest his disciples coming steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last imposture shall be worse than the first.

And for fear of him the guards trembled, and became as dead men.

And go quickly and tell the disciples, that he is risen from the dead. And behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him.

And behold Jesus met them and said, Hail. And they came, and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

Saying, Say his disciples came by night, and stole him while we slept.

And if this come to the governour's ears, we will persuade him and secure you.

And when they saw him they worshiped him, tho' some had doubted.

And there went out to him all the land of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And coming up from the water, straitway he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.

And immediately the Spirit leadeth him out into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days,

tempted by Satan, and was with the wild-beasts; and the angels served him.

And straightway leaving their nets, they followed him. And having gone thence a little farther,

And he called them; and immediately leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hired servants, they went after him.
