And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.

But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

And he said, What are you questioning them about?

And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.

And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

And when he had gone into the house, his disciples said to him privately, Why were we unable to send it out?

And he said to them, Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer.

But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do?

And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

And he said to them, Whoever puts away his wife and takes another, is false to his wife;

And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.

And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you.

Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

And he said to them, What would you have me do for you?

And they said to him, Let us be seated, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.

But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.

And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.

And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.

And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.

And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.

And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith.

And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you authority to do these things?

And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.

And they said in answer to Jesus, We have no idea. And Jesus said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.

And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.

And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;

And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:

And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.

And in his teaching he said, Be on your watch against the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes and be respected in the market-places,

And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:

And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings!

And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.

We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.

And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when the Passover lamb is put to death, his disciples said to him, Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.

They were sad, and said to him one by one, Is it I?

And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.

And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.

And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.

But Peter said to him, Though the others may be turned away from you, I will not.

And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.

And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?

And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.

And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.

And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss.

And Jesus said to them, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks to take me?

He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?

But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?

And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
