And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:

from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes"?

and Jesus answering said to them, 'Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him.

And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut. 25:5] that if a man's brother dies, leaving his widow behind without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children by her. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother's.

There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;

and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.

And the seven took her and did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.

In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

And Jesus answered, "The foremost one is this [Deut. 6:4-5], 'Hear this, you Israelites, the Lord our God is the only Lord,

and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.

as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head;

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you cause trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me.

what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming.

Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that today--this night--before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times!"

And again He came back and found them sleeping, because their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know how to answer Him.

And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, 'Sleep on henceforth, and rest -- it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;

And Jesus answering, said to them, "Did ye come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to seize Me?

I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but it is that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

One youth indeed did follow Him, wearing only a linen cloth round his bare body. Of him they laid hold,

and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find any.

For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.

But neither so did their witness agree together.

and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?'

Did you hear his blasphemy? What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving to be put to death.

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;

and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

And there was he called Barabbas, bound with those exciting sedition, who did murder in the revolt.

The crowd came up and began asking Pilate to do as he usually did for them.

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

And Pilate said to them, 'Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, 'Crucify him;'

And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.

And they offered him wine to drink medicated with myrrh; but he did not take it.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? (which being translated is, My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?)

And a man ran, and, soaking a sponge in common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink, saying as he did so: "Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down."

And the veil of the temple did rent in two pieces, from the top to the bottom.

And when the Centurion who stood in front of the cross saw that He was dead, he exclaimed, "This man was indeed God's Son."

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

And when he learned from the centurion [that Jesus was in fact dead], he gave the body to Joseph [by granting him permission to remove it].

So Joseph purchased a [fine] linen cloth [for wrapping the body], and after taking Jesus down [from the cross], he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and placed Him in a tomb which had been cut out of rock. Then he rolled a [large, wheel-shaped] stone against the entrance of the tomb.

And he saith to them, 'Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise -- he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!

And they went out quickly and fled from the tomb. For they trembled and were amazed. Neither did they say anything to anyone, for they were afraid.

And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;

and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

and they went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.

Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.

Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,

as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, --

They both did what was right in God's sight [by] living blamelessly according to all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

And {they did not have} a child, because Elizabeth was barren. And they were both advanced {in years}.

And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day these [things] take place, {because} you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.

"This is what the Lord did for me when he looked favorably on me and took away my public disgrace."

And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;

and happy is she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'

For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy is His name,

He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;

and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him.

And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,

Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,

Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, 'We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make known to us.'

And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;

because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,

and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;

and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,

and [when they] did not find [him], they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

And seeing Him they were astonished, and His mother said to Him; Child, why did you thus do unto us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee, sorrowful.

And he said to them, Why is it that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be occupied in my Father's business?

and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,

And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.

Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?
