They said, "Some say John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he is the Messiah.

Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."

When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,

So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"

Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart."

They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"

When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.

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

"When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

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."

When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

As they went out from Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

And just then two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Lord, have mercy on us, son of David."

The crowd rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Lord, have mercy on us, son of David."

They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

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

When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from man?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

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.

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.

Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

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

So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

When they sought to seize him, they feared the crowds, because they considered him to be a prophet.

and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,

Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.

Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denarius.

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."

When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.

When the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

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

All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.

For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.

For there will arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

If therefore they tell you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; 'Look, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it.

and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

He will send out his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,

and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'

They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

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

But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?

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.

The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

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

They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It is not me, is it, Lord?"

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."

When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

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

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus so they could put him to death;

and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward. But at last two false witnesses came forward,

What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."

Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.

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

They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.

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,

and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

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

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.

They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

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?"

For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

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."

They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
