But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.

Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.

And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;

Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.

They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

And when they heard him, they wondered, and left him, and went away.

On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,

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

And when the crowds heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.

saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.

all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,

And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments,

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.

Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, he is in the inner chambers, do not believe it.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the one extremity of the heavens to the other extremity of them.

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

and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.

They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;

Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept.

But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

Then shall they also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?

and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;

but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.

and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

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

And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it I, Lord?

And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and blessed, broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

But Jesus said to him, My friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.

Now they that had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward

What think ye? And they answering said, He is liable to the penalty of death.

Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and some struck him with the palms of their hand,

And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.

And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

saying, I have sinned in having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as the Lord commanded me.

Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

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

And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.

They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.

and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat him on his head.

And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.

And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go with them that he might bear his cross.

they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted it, he would not drink.

And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst themselves, casting lots.

And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.

And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias.

But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.

And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch besides.

And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.

And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.

Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.

And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day.

And when they saw him, they did homage to him: but some doubted.

And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.

and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.

And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.

And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.

But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.

and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.

But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug it up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

And Jesus having heard it says to them, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those who are ill. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then shall they fast in that day.

And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath what is not lawful?

And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried saying, Thou art the Son of God.
