But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.

And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.

And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.

And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.

And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.

When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.

And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.

And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen that the kingdom of God hath come with power.

And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

For he knew not what to answer; for they were struck with terror.

And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.

And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them to give no account of what they had seen to any one, till the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

And they kept these words in mind, questioning one another what rising from the dead might mean.

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?

But I say to you that Elijah hath come, and they have done to him whatever they would; as it hath been written concerning him.

And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.

And wherever it seizeth hold of him, it throweth him down; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth; and he pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.

And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.

And departing thence, they passed through Galilee; and he would not that any one should know it.

For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he hath been put to death, after three days he will rise again.

But they understood not what he said, and were afraid to ask him.

And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?

But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.

And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

and the two shall become one flesh." So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

And they brought children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

And Jesus, looking round, saith to his disciples, How hardly shall they who have riches enter the kingdom t of God!

And they were beyond measure astonished, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading the way; and they were amazed, and they that followed were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:

Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up to the gentiles;

and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again.

And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, in thy glory.

And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye will drink the cup that I drink, and ye will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

And Jesus, calling them to him, saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict authority over them.

And they come to Jericho; and as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the wayside.

And Jesus stopped, and said, Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage, rise, he calleth thee.

And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

And they went, and found the colt tied by the door without, on the street; and they loose it.

And they said to them as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.

And they bring the colt to Jesus, and put their garments on it; and he sat upon it.

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!

And on the morrow, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry;

And they come to Jerusalem. And he went into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;

And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him; because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the figtree withered from the roots.

And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders;

and they said to him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

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

But shall we say, From men? They feared the people; for all regarded John as truly a prophet.

And they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded.

And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and treated shamefully.

And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others, beating some, and killing some.

Still he had one beloved son; he sent him last to them, saying, They will respect my son.

And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And they left him, and went away.

And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to ensnare him in speech.

And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

And they brought one. And he saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesars.

And Jesus said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. And they marveled at him exceedingly.

Then come to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

In the resurrection, when they have risen, of which of them will she be wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

For when they have risen from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.

And concerning the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"?

For they all threw in of their abundance; but she out of her penury threw in all that she had, her whole living.

And when ye hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be not troubled; they must come to pass; but not yet is the end.

But do ye take heed to yourselves; they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be taken into synagogues and beaten; and ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

And when they lead you away to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand as to what ye shall speak; but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.

For they said, Not at the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.

For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor. And they chid her harshly.

And they when they heard it were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up.

And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they used to kill the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee to eat the passover?

And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had told them; and they made ready the passover.

And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me,one that is eating with me.

They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?

And as they were eating, he took a loaf, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take; this is my body.

And he took a cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it.

And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

But he spoke the more vehemently: If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And so also said they all.

And they come to a place called Gethsemane; and he saith to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray.

And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

And they laid hands on him and seized him.

And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and they laid hold of him.

And they led Jesus away to the highpriest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together.

And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none.

Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death.

And Pilate asked him again, Dost thou make no answer? See what things they are testifying against thee!
