And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God:

Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.

And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

And they had fear of putting any more questions to him.

And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.

For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.

And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?

But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

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

When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.

And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

And they were glad, and undertook to give him money.

And they said to him, Where are we to get it ready?

And they went, and it was as he had said: and they made the Passover ready.

And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.

And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?

And they said a number of other evil things against him.

And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

And they all went and took him before Pilate.

And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.

But crying out they said, To the cross with him

But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?

And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.

And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.

But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.

And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you!

But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here?

And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing.

And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?

And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?

He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.

Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.

So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

So they went out of the town and came to him.

You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.
