But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.

And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?

And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.

And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?

The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.

Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.

And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.

And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.

Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,

Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.

And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.

And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.

Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?

And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.

And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.

And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

And they were seated there watching him.

Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.

And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.

And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.

And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove:

And straight away the Spirit sent him out into the waste land.

And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

And they went straight from their nets, and came after him.

And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about.

Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.

And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

And Simon and those who were with him came after him.

And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.

And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean.

And being moved with pity, he put out his hand, and touching him said to him, It is my pleasure; be made clean.

And straight away the disease went from him, and he was made clean.

And he sent him away, saying to him very sharply,

But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.

And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.

And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to him, Son, you have forgiveness for your sins.

And he went out again by the seaside; and all the people came to him, and he gave them teaching.

And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.
