And the Lord said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Were none found, returning to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

But first He must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

yet, because this widow occasions me trouble, I will avenge her, lest, by her persistent coming, she wear me out.'"

And He spake also this parable to some who had trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:

The Pharisee, having taken his stand, was praying these things with himself: 'God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector!

I say to you, this man went down justified to his house, rather than the other; because every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."

who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the coming age eternal life."

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they were not understanding the things being said.

And, hearing a multitude passing along, he was inquiring what this might be.

And Jesus said to him, "To-day salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

But his citizens were hating him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not wish this man to be king over us.'

And he said also to this man, 'Be thou also over five cities.'

saying, "If you knew, in this your day??ven you??he things pertaining to peace! but just now were they hid from your eyes!

and spake, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority Thou art doing these things, or who gave Thee this authority?"

And He began to speak to the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time.

"And he sent still a third; and they, having wounded this one, cast him out.

"But, seeing him, the husbandmen were reasoning one with another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.'

And He, looking upon them, said, "What, then, is this that has been written? 'A stone which the builders rejected, the same became a head of the corner.'

And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage;

And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow cast in more than they all;

Woe to the women with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there will be great distress on the land, and wrath to this people.

Verily I say to you, this generation will in no wise pass away, till all come to pass.

And He said to them, "With desire I desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

And, having taken a cup, and giving thanks, He said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves;

And, taking bread, and giving thanks, He broke, and gave to them, saying, "This is My body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of Me."

And the cup, in like manner, after supper, saying "this cup is the new covenant in My blood, which, in your behalf, is being poured out.

And they began to inquire together among themselves, which of them it was, who was about to perpetrate this thing.

saying, "Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Thine, be done."

When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against Me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

And a certain maid, seeing him sitting by the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with Him."

And, about one hour having intervened, a certain other was confidently insisting, saying, "Of a truth this one also was with Him; for he also is a Galilaean."

And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found This Man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ a King!"

And Pilate said to the high priests and to the multitudes, "I find no fault in This Man."

But they were the more urgent, saying, "He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even to this place."

said to them, "Ye brought to me This Man as One perverting the people and, behold, I, having examined Him before you, found no fault in This Man regarding those things of which ye accuse Him;

But he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil did This Man do? I found in Him nothing worthy of death. Chastising Him, therefore, I will release Him."

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also were scoffing at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself! if This is the Christ of God, the Chosen!"

And there was also an inscription over Him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!"

and we, indeed, righteously; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds: but This Man did nothing amiss."

And, crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, "Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit." And, having said this, He expired.

And the centurion, beholding what took place, glorified God, saying, "Truly This was a righteous Man!"

And all the multitudes, coming together to this sight, viewing the things that took place, were returning, smiting their breasts.

And it came to pass, while they were perplexed about this, behold, also two men stood near them in dazzling apparel.

And, saying this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

John testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He That cometh after me hath become before me, because He was before me;'"

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, "Who are you?"

This is He of Whom I said, 'After me cometh a Man Who hath become before me, because He was before me.'

And I knew Him not; but, that He might be manifested to Israel, for this cause I came immersing in water."

And I have seen, and have testified, that This is the Son of God."

This beginning of His signs Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed on Him.

After this He went down to Capernaum, Himself, and His mother, and brothers, and His disciples; and there they abode not many days.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

The Jews, therefore, said, "In forty-six years this temple was built, and wilt Thou raise it up in three days?"

When, therefore, He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word that Jesus spake.

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that Thou hast come, as a Teacher, from God; for no one can do the signs which Thou art doing, unless God be with Him."

And this is the judgment, that the Light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their works were evil.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bride-groom who stands and hears him greatly rejoices because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, has been made full.

What He hath seen, and what He heard, of this He bears testimony; and no man receives His testimony.

Jesus answered and said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again;

The woman saith to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come all the way hither to draw."

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly."

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

Jesus saith to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when ye will, neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

And upon this came His disciples: and they were wondering that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, "What seekest Thou?" or, "Why talkest Thou with her?"

"Come, see a Man Who told me all things that I ever did: can This be the Christ?"

For in this is the saying true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'

and they said to the woman, "Now we no longer believe because of your saying; for we ourselves have heard, and know that This is, in truth, the Savior of the world."

This man, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to Him, and was asking Him, that He would come down, and heal his son, for he was about to die.

This again is a second sign that Jesus did, after having come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Jesus, seeing this man lying, and knowing that already for a long time he had been thus, saith to him, "Do you wish to be made well?"

And, on this account, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the sabbath.

For this cause, therefore, the Jews were seeking the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the sabbath, but also called God His Father, making Himself equal with God.

Marvel not at this; because there is an hour coming, in which all who are in their tombs shall hear His voice,

And this He said, proving him; for He Himself knew what He was about to do.

The men, therefore, seeing the sign that He did, said, "This, truly, is the Prophet Who cometh into the world."

Jesus answered, and said to them, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him Whom He sent."

They said, therefore, to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread."

And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that of all that He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

For this is the will of My Father, that every one who beholds the Son, and believes on Him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph, Whose father and mother we know? How doth He now say, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?

This is the Bread That cometh down out of Heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not die.

I am the Living Bread That came down out of Heaven: if any one eat of This Bread, he shall live forever; yea, and the Bread That I will give him is My flesh, for the life of the world."

The Jews, therefore, were wrangling with one another, saying, "How can This Man give us His flesh to eat?"

This is the Bread That came down out of Heaven. Not as the fathers ate, and died: he that eats this Bread shall live forever."

Many, therefore, of His disciples, having heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can hear it?"

But Jesus, knowing in Himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

And He said, "For this cause I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been given to him of the Father."

From this time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.

Go ye up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled."

The Jews, therefore, were marveling, saying, "How knoweth This Man letters, having never learned!"

Jesus answered, and said to them, "I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.

Some, therefore, of those of Jerusalem said, "Is not This He Whom they are seeking to kill?

And, behold, He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Did the rulers ever truly know that This is the Christ?

But as to This Man we know whence He is; but, when the Christ cometh, no one knows whence He is."

But of the multitude many believed on Him, and said, "When the Christ shall come, will He do more signs than those which This Man did?"

The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, "Where is This Man about to go, that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

What is this word that He said, 'Ye will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, ye cannot come?'"

But this He spake concerning the Spirit, Whom those who believed on Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some of the multitude, therefore, having heard these words, said, "Truly This is the Prophet;"
