And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.

And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.

Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick.

And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?

The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.

And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:

And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:

And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.

And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.

But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,

Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;

Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.

But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.

For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.

We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

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

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.

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

And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.

Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign, saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he; take him, and get him away safely.

I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.

Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.

And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.

And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.

And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him.

And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size.

And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that ...

And they, when it came to their ears that he was living, and had been seen by her, had no belief in it.

So that you might have certain knowledge of those things about which you were given teaching.

And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.

Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,

And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.

After that time, Elisabeth, being certain that she was to become a mother, kept herself from men's eyes for five months, saying,

And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me?

Happy will she be who had faith that the things which the Lord has said to her will be done.

His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,

And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.

And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.

That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,

To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.

Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.

And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.

(And a sword will go through your heart;) so that the secret thoughts of men may come to light.

And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.

And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,

And seeing that he was not there, they went back to Jerusalem, to make search for him.

And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.

And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.

John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,

And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;

And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;

And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.

And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.

And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill,) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.

I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.

And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction.

Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands.

And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.

And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.

And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.

The disciple is not greater than his master, but everyone whose learning is complete will be like his master.

He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.

And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.
