But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy behind him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us.

And it came to pass for him to return, having taken the kingdom. And he said for these bondmen to be called to him, to whom he gave the silver, so that he might know what any man gained by trading.

And he said to him, Well, thou good bondman. Because thou became faithful in the least, be thou having authority over ten cities.

And he also said to him, And thou become over five cities.

He says to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, thou evil bondman. Thou had known that I am an austere man taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.

And he said to those who stood by, Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.

And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

For I say to you, that to every man who has, will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.

And if any man asks you, Why do ye untie it? Thus ye will say to him, The Lord has need of it.

And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scholars sought to destroy him, even the foremost men of the people.

And they did not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.

And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?

And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.

And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.

And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.

But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.

And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.

And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.

And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,

And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,

Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.

For they no longer dared to question him anything.

David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?

And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, when therefore will these things be? And what is the sign when these things are going to happen?

And all the people rose early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.

And the chief priests and the scholars sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.

And having departed, he conversed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them.

And they were glad, and agreed together to give him silver.

And he consented and sought opportunity to betray him to them apart from the multitude.

And they said to him, Where do thou want that we should prepare?

And he said to them, Behold, having entered into the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he enters.

And when the hour came, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.

Then he said to them, But now, he who has a bag, let him take it, and likewise a pouch. And he who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy.

And having come out, he proceeded according to his habit to the mount of Olives, and his disciples also followed him.

And an agent from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

While he yet spoke, behold, a multitude, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them. And he came near to Jesus to kiss him.

But Jesus said to him, Judas, thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

And when those who were around him saw what would be, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

But having answered, Jesus said, Allow ye as far as this. And having touched his ear, he healed him.

And Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, who came to him, Have ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

And having seized him, they led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from afar.

But a certain servant girl having seen him sitting near the light, and having looked intently upon him, she said, This man was also with him.

But he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him.

And after a little while, another man having see him, said, Thou also are from them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

And about one hour having passed, some other man insisted, saying, In truth this man was also with him, for he is also a Galilean.

And having turned, the Lord looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before a cock sounds thou will deny me thrice.

And the men who held Jesus mocked him, while striking him.

And having covered him, they struck his face, and demanded him, saying, Prophesy! Who is he who struck thee?

And they spoke many other things against him, railing against him.

And when it became day, the eldership of the people, the chief priests, and the scholars, came together, and led him into their council, saying,

And having risen, the whole company of them led him to Pilate.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ, a king.

And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say.

And when he perceived that he is from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem in these days.

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he was wanting of a considerable time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he hoped to see some sign happening by him.

And he interrogated him in considerable words, but he answered him nothing.

And the chief priests and the scholars had stood, vehemently accusing him.

But Herod having disdained him with his soldiers, and having mocked him, having arraying him in a bright robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

said to them, Ye brought this man to me as turning away the people. And behold, I, having examined him before you, found nothing guilty in this man of what ye accuse against him.

But not even Herod, for I sent you back to him, and lo, nothing having been done by him is worthy of death.

Therefore, having scourged I will release him.

but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

And he said to them a third time, For what evil did this man do? I have found nothing guilty of death in him. I will therefore, having scourged, release him.

But they were relentless with loud voices demanding him to be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

And when they led him away, having taken hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the countryside, they laid the cross on him to bring behind Jesus.

And a great multitude of the people followed him, and also of women who bewailed and lamented him.

And two other men, malefactors, were also led with him to be executed.

And when they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one at the right hand and the other at the left.

And the soldiers also mocked him, approaching, and bringing him vinegar,

And there was also an inscription over him written in letters, in Greek and Latin and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed him, saying, If thou are the Christ, save thyself and us.

But the other man having answered, rebuking him, saying, Thou fear not even God, since thou are in the same condemnation?

And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, today thou will be with me in the paradise.

And all his acquaintances, and the women who accompanied him from Galilee, had stood from afar, seeing these things.

And having followed closely, the women who were gathered to him out of Galilee, they saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.

But their eyes were held, not to recognize him.

And one, whose name was Cleopas, having answered, said to him, Thou only visit Jerusalem and do not know the things that happened in it during these days?

And he said to them, What? And they said to him, The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, a mighty man in work and word before God and all the people,

and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up for condemnation of death, and crucified him.

And some of those with us went to the sepulcher, and found it this way, just as also the women said, but they did not see him.

And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them.

And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them.

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and from a bees honeycomb.

And having worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

All things came to be through him, and apart from him not even one thing came to be that has come to be.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.

He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, and the world knew him not.

He came to his own, and his own did not accept him.

But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,

John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.

No man has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, being in the bosom of the Father, that man reported him.

And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?

And they asked him, What therefore, are thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

They said therefore to him, Who are thou, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do thou say about thyself?
