In those days, there being again a very great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to Him,

and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

and if I send them away fasting to their own home, they will faint by the way; for some of them are come from far.

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

And He ordered the people to sit down upon the ground: and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and brake them, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes: and He blessed them, and bid them set them also before the people.

And they did eat and were satisfied: and they took up what were left, to wit of fragments seven baskets:

and they that had eaten were about four thousand. And then He dismissed them.

And his disciples had forgot to take bread, neither had they any more than one loaf with them in the ship.

they argued one with another, saying, It is because we have no bread.

When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? They answer, Twelve.

And when I divided the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? and they said, Seven.

Then He cometh to Bethsaida, where they brought to Him a blind man, and begged of Him that He would touch him.

And they answered, Some say, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

And He charged them, that they should say this to no one concerning Him:

And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, that there are some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

for he knew not what to say, for they were sore afraid.

And immediately looking round about, they saw no more of any one, but Jesus alone with them.

And as they came down from the mountain, He charged them to tell no one what they had seen, till after the Son of man were risen from the dead.

And they laid hold on that expression, querying among themselves, what means the rising from the dead?

Then they asked Him, saying, Why do the scribes say, that Elias must come first?

But I tell you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.

And immediately all the people, when they saw Him, were astonished; and running to Him, saluted Him.

and wherever it seizeth him, it convulseth him; and he fometh, and gnasheth his teeth, and thus he pineth away: and I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

And they brought him to Him: and as soon as he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into convulsions: and he fell upon the ground, and rolled about foming.

And they departed from thence and passed through Galilee, and He was not willing that any should know it;

for He was instructing his disciples, and told them, the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and on the third day, after his being put to death, He will rise again.

But they knew not his meaning, and were afraid to ask Him.

But they held their peace; for they had been disputing with each other by the way who should be the greatest.

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

and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

And when they were in the house his disciples asked Him again about it:

And they brought to Him little children that He might touch them: and the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

And Jesus looking round about saith to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were exceedingly amazed, saying one to another, Who then can be saved?

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed at it, and afraid to follow Him. And again taking the twelve aside, He began to tell them what things should befal Him,

saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles;

and they will insult Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and put Him to death: but on the third day He shall rise again.

they said unto Him, Grant that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.

And they said, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, shall ye be baptized:

And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at James and John.

And they came to Jericho: and as He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging.

And Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.

And when they came near to Jerusalem, even to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, He sendeth two of his disciples,

And they went and found the colt tied at a door abroad, where two ways met, and they untied it.

And they answered them as Jesus had ordered, and they permitted them.

So they brought the colt to Jesus, and laid their garments on it, and He sat upon it.

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna, blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord:

And on the morrow, as they came from Bethany, He was hungry:

Then they came to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to turn out those that sold and bought in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how to destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were struck with his doctrine.

And in the morning, as they were passing by it, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots.

And they come again to Jerusalem, and as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him,

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, from heaven; He will say, why then did ye not believe him?

but if we should say, from men --- they feared the people: (for they they all thought that John was a prophet indeed:)

and they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus replied and said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

and they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him on the head, and sent him away shamefully used.

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

Having yet therefore one Son, his beloved, he sent him also at last unto them, saying, they will reverence my Son.

And they took him, and killed Him too, casting him out of the vineyard.

And they sought to lay hands on Him, but they were afraid of the people; (for they knew that He spake 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 insnare Him in his discourse:

and these, when they came, said to Him, Master, we know that thou art a man of truth, and carest for no man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Cesar, or not? should we give, or should we not give?

So they brought one: and He saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said Cesar's.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Render then unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at Him.

and they asked Him, saying, Master, Moses, in his writings tells us, if any one's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

In the resurrection therefore, when they rise again, whose wife shall be of them; for all the seven had her to wife?

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

But as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

For they all have contributed out of their abundance: but she out of her penury hath given all that she had, even her whole living.

But look to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and synagogues: and ye shall be scourged, and set before governors and kings on my account, for a testimony against them.

But when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not anxiously careful beforehand what ye shall speak, neither premeditate: but whatever shall be suggested to you at that very time, this speak: for it is not you that speak, but the holy Spirit.

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

Now the feast of the passover and unleavened bread was within two days: and the chief priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize Him by treachery and put Him to death.

But they said, Not on the feast-day, least there be a tumult of the people.

For it might have been sold for above three hundred pence, and given to the poor. And they inveighed against her.

And they were glad, when they heard it, and engaged to give him money. And he sought to betray Him at a proper season.

And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the paschal lamb, his disciples said to Him, Where wouldst thou have us go and make preparation for thee to eat of the paschal lamb?

And when they were sat down and eating together, Jesus said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me, who is now eating with me.

And they were grieved, and said to Him one by one, Is it I?

And as they were at table, Jesus took bread, and when He had blessed it He brake it, and gave it to them, and said, Take, eat, This is my body:

and He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

But he said with the more vehemence, Though I should die with thee, I will never disown thee. And so likewise said they all.

And they came to a place called Gethsemane, and He saith to his disciples, Sit here whilst I go and pray.

And when He returned, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to say to Him.

And they laid their hands on Him, and apprehended Him.

And they led Jesus away to the high priest, with whom were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? and they all condemned Him as worthy of death.

And they spit upon Him, and blind-folded Him, and then buffeted Him and said to Him, prophesy who it was: and the officers struck him with their rods.

And a little after, they that stood by, said to Peter again, Thou art certainly one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like theirs.

And as soon as ever it was light the chief priests holding a consultation with the elders and scribes, they and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

So Pilate asked Him again, saying, Dost thou answer nothing? See how many things they witness against thee:

Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired:

And they cried out again, Crucify Him.

But Pilate said unto them, Why, what ill has He done? And they cried out the more vehemently, Crucify Him.

and they clad Him in purple, and platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head,

And when they had thus abused Him, they took off the purple from Him, and put his own clothes on Him, and brought Him out to crucify Him.
