And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.'

Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept laid away in a handkerchief;

for I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'

He said to him, 'I will judge you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a hard man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'

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

But those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'"

He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.

For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

While he was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

And a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, looked at him, and said, "This man also was with him."

And a little later some one else saw him and said, "You also are of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no crime in this man."

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

and said to them, "You have brought this man to me as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. And behold, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man concerning those charges which you make against him;

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man,

This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

And as they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
