About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'

"They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'

When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.'

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,

He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."

But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

and brought the donkey and the colt, and placed their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."

He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."

and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?'"

Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever." Immediately the fig tree withered away.

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"

They answered Jesus, and said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

"Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went on a journey.

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and seize his inheritance.'

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'

"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.

and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

saying, "What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of David."

He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet'?

saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

"And he also who had the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained another two talents.'

"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

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

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."

a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.

However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.

and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."'"

As they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It is not me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."

Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."

He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?

Then he came to the disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail, Rabbi." and kissed him.

Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.

But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.

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

The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"

Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."

And when he had gone out onto the porch, another girl saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth."

After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known."

Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.

saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."

Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the sons of Israel priced,

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "So you say."

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Messiah?"

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."

But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."

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

But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."

and they sat and watched him there.

They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,

He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."

saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'

Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me."

Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men."

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

And he said to them, "Let us go somewhere else into the next towns, that I may proclaim there also, because I came out for this reason."

And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed."

and said to him, "See you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins", he said to the paralytic,
