Then if any one shall say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or there; believe it not.

Therefore, if they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines even to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.

So also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one shall be taken, and the other left.

"Watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord is coming.

But know this, That if the master of the house had known at what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken open.

For this reason, be you also ready; for at an hour in which you think not, the Son of man comes.

and shall begin to strike his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;

the master of that servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not,

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bride-groom.

And at midnight a cry was made: Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go you out to meet him.

And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out.

Therefore, take from him the talent, and give it to him that has the ten talents.

For to every one that has, it shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away.

And the King will answer and say to them: Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.

Then will he answer them, saying: Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, that he said to his disciples:

Then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people met together at the palace of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas.

there came to him a woman who had an alabaster box of very costly ointment; and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table.

But when his disciples saw it, they were displeased, and said: For what purpose was this waste?

Jesus perceived it, and said to them: Why do you trouble the woman? For she has performed a good work upon me.

For in pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial.

and said: What are you willing to give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they weighed to him thirty pieces of silver.

On the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, and said to him: Where dost thou wish that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

He replied: Go into the city, to a certain man, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near; I will keep the passover at your house, with my disciples.

When the evening had come, he reclined at table with the twelve.

And they were very sad, and began each one of them to say to him: Lord, is it I?

The Son of man goes, as it is written of him; but alas for that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! It would have been good for that man, if he had not been born.

And Judas, who delivered him up, answered and said: Rabbi, is it I? He replied: You have said.

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying: Do you all drink of it:

for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many in order to the remission of sins.

But I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

Then Jesus said to them: All of you will he offended at me this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.

Peter answered and said to him: Though all shall be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended.

Peter said to him: Though it should be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee. In like manner said all the disciples.

And he went forward a little, and fell on his face in prayer, saying: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as thou willest.

And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Was it so, that you had not strength to watch with me one hour?

Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed, saying: My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me, unless I drink it, thy will be done.

Then he came to his disciples, and said to them: Bleep what time is left, and take your rest; behold, the hour draws near, and the Son of man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up is at hand.

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

Jesus said to him: Friend, for what purpose have you come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him fast.

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

At the same time Jesus said to the multitudes: Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I sat daily with you in the temple and taught, and you did not take me.

But Peter followed him, at a distance, to the palace of the chief priest, and went in and sat with the attendants, to see the end.

and found none. Though many false witnesses came, yet they found none. At last two false witnesses came,

and said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

And the chief priest arose, and said to him: Do you make no answer? What do these testify against you?

Then the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: He has spoken impiously; what further need have we of witnesses? See now, you have heard his impious words:

What think you? They answered and said: He is a subject for death.

But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what you say.

And when he went out into the entrance, an other maid-servant saw him, and said to those who were there: This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene.

And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

saying: I have sinned in having delivered up innocent blood. They replied: What is that to us? You will see to that.

And the chief priests took the money, and said: It is not lawful to put it into the sacred treasury, because it is the price of blood.

And they took counsel, and bought with it the potter's field, as a burial-place for foreigners.

And Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? Jesus replied to him: You say it.

Now at the feast, the governor was in the habit of releasing to the multitude one prisoner, whom they chose.

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

But the governor said: Why, what evil has he done? But they cried vehemently, saying: Let him be crucified.

When Pilate saw that he gained nothing, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, and said: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; you will see to it.

and when they had plaited a crown of thorn branches, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and kneeling before him, they derided him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews!

And as they were going out, they found a man of Gyrene, named Simon: this man they compelled to carry his cross.

they gave him vine gar to drink, mingled with gall; and when he had tasted it, he refused to drink.

and saying: You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself; if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

But about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamah sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said: This man calls for Elijah.

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

The rest said: Wait, let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.

And they came out of their sepulchers after his resurrection, and entered the holy city, and appeared to many.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and what was done, were greatly afraid, and said: Of a truth, this was the Son of God.

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linen,

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

and said: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will arise.

Pilate said to them: You have a guard; go, make it as safe as you know how.

And after the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher.

And behold, there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord having descended from heaven, came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment was white as snow.

And they went out quickly from the sepulcher, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.

And all the country of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, con fessing their sins.

And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a girdle of leather around his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey:

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.

and saying: The time has fully come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the gospel.

And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

And there was in their synagogue a man who had an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

saying: Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him.

And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.

And all were amazed, so that they questioned one another, saying: What means this? What new teaching is this, that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

And forthwith, having gone out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now the mother-in-law of Simon lay sick of a fever. And at once they told him of her.

And at evening, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.

And he cured many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, he arose and went out, and departed to a desert place, and there prayed.

And throughout the whole of Galilee he continued to preach in their synagogues, and to cast out demons.
