But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the [same] way also the Son of Man is going to suffer [at] their hands."

And [when they] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him

And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him."

Now [as] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were extremely distressed.

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father [who is] in heaven.

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

So [when] the disciples heard [this], they were extremely amazed, saying, "Then who can be saved?"

So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same [thing].

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

And [when] the ones [hired] about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.

And [when] the first came, they thought that they would receive more, and they also received a denarius apiece.

And [when they] received [it], they began to complain against the master of the house,

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

But Jesus answered [and] said, "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."

And [when] the ten heard [this], they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

And [as] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

And behold, [there were] two blind men sitting beside the road. [When they] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

They said to him, "Lord, that our eyes be opened!"

And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received [their] sight and followed him.

And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at 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 shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And [when they] saw [it], the disciples were astonished, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet."

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, [one of] whom they beat, and [one of] whom they killed, and [one of] whom they stoned.

Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first [ones], and they did the same [thing] to them.

So finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

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

And they seized him [and] threw [him] out of the vineyard and killed [him].

They said to him, "He will destroy those evil [men] completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season."

And [when] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,

and [although they] wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they looked upon him as a prophet.

And he sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the wedding celebration, and they did not want to come.

But they paid no attention [and] went away--this one to his own field, that one to his business.

And those slaves went out into the roads [and] gathered everyone whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding celebration was filled {with dinner guests}.

Then the Pharisees went {and consulted} so that they could entrap him with a statement.

And they sent their disciples to him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and {you do not care what anyone thinks}, {because you do not regard the opinion of people}.

Show me the coin for the tax!" So they brought him a denarius.

They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Therefore give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!"

And [when they] heard [this], they were astonished, and they left him [and] went away.

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

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

And [when] the crowds heard [this], they were amazed at his teaching.

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "David's."

Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as {they do}, for they tell [others to do something] and do not do [it themselves].

And they tie up heavy burdens and put [them] on people's shoulders, but [they] themselves are not willing with their finger to move them

And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad and make their tassels long.

And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!

For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.

"Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

Therefore if they say to you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out, [or] 'Behold, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe [it]!

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

And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from [one] end of heaven to the [other] end of it.

For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark.

And they did not know [anything] until the deluge came and swept [them] all away. So also the coming of the Son of Man will be.

For [when] the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take olive oil with them.

And [when] the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

But [while] they had gone away to buy [it] the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, 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 not serve you?'

and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill [him].

But they were saying, "Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people."

And [when] the disciples saw [it] they were indignant, saying, "{Why} this waste?

[and] said, "What are you willing to give me if I in turn deliver him to you?" So they set out for him thirty silver coins.

And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

And [while] they were eating he said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me."

Now [while] they were eating Jesus took bread and, [after] giving thanks, he broke [it], and giving [it] to the disciples, he said, "Take, eat, this is my body."

And [after they] had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

But Peter answered [and] said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"

And he came again [and] found them sleeping, {for they could not keep their eyes open}.

And Jesus said to him, "Friend, [do that] for which you have come." Then they came up [and] laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.

And they did not find [it], [although] many false witnesses came forward. And finally two came forward

What do you think?" And they answered [and] said, "{He deserves death}!"

Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists, and they slapped [him],

And [after] tying him up, they led [him] away and handed [him] over to Pilate the governor.

saying, "I have sinned [by] betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What [is that] to us? You see to [it]!"

And [after] taking counsel, they purchased {with} them the Potter's Field, for a burial place for strangers.

Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, who said, "And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who had been priced, [on] whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel,

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

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many [things] they are testifying against you?"

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

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.

So [after] they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you--Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

(For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.

So the governor answered [and] said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas!"

Pilate said to them, "What then should I do [with] Jesus, the one who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

And he said, "Why? What wrong has he done?" But they began to shout even louder, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

And they stripped him [and] put a scarlet military cloak around him,

and weaving a crown of thorns, they put [it] on his head, and [put] a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
