But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man kneeling down to him, and saying,

Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief. For I say verily unto you, if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye should say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and he should remove: Neither should any thing be impossible for you to do.

And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute-money, came to Peter, and said, Doth not your Master pay tribute?

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?

And calling a child [to himself], he had him stand in their midst

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

What do you think? If anyone had a hundred sheep, and one of them wandered away, would he not leave the ninety-nine [safe ones] and go to the mountains looking for the one that wandered away?

Truly I tell you, if he happens to find it, he is happier over it than over the ninety-nine that had not wandered away.

In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents:

And [because] he did not have [enough] to repay [it], the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

So the master of that slave, [because he] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

But no sooner had that servant gone out, than he met with one of his fellow servants who owed him 100 shillings; and seizing him by the throat and nearly strangling him he exclaimed, "'Pay me all you owe.'

But he refused and went out and had him put in jail until he should pay the debt.

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

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as I also had compassion on thee?

And it happened that when Jesus had finished these statements, he went away from Galilee and came into the region of Judea on the other side of the Jordan.

Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives [only] because of the rebellious spirits you [Jews] had. But this was not how it was [intended to be] from the beginning [i.e., when God created one woman for one man].

Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

And when he had put his hands on them, he departed thence.

But [when] the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.

Then Peter answered Him, "We have left everything we had and followed you. What then are we to get?"

When he had contracted with the laborers at twenty cents a day, he sent them off to his vineyard.

So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and pay them their wage, beginning from the last to the first.

And they who had been hired at five o'clock came and received twenty cents each.

last of all they came who were hired first, expecting to have received more, but they had only a penny a man,

And when they had received it, they murmured against the good man of the house, saying,

And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.

When they were near Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,

This took place for the fulfilment of what had been spoken by the prophet,

But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,

They led the ass and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself upon them.

And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.

And he left them, and went out of the city unto Bethany, and had his abiding there.

Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.

And when He had come into the temple, the high priests and elders of the people came up to Him while He was teaching, and asked, "What sort of authority have you for doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

John's Baptism, whence was it? --had it a heavenly or a human origin?" So they debated the matter among themselves. "If we say 'a heavenly origin,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

"Now what do you think? A man had two sons. [He] approached the first [and] said, 'Son, go work in the vineyard today.'

The boy answered, 'I will not.' But later he had a change of heart and went.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Once more he sent some other servants, more than he had sent at first, and they did the same to them.

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.

And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was 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.

A second time he sent some servants, with orders to say to those who had been invited 'I have prepared my breakfast, my cattle and fat beasts are killed and everything is ready; come to the banquet.'

But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding celebration is ready, but those who had been invited were not worthy.

But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a guest's robe;

And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

Show me the coin with which the tax is paid." And, when they had brought him a florin,

When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and departed.

"Teacher, Moses said [in Deut. 25:5] that when a man dies without having had any children, his brother must marry his widow and father children by her, who would [then] be considered his [dead] brother's.

Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased; and having no issue, left his wife to his brother.

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

The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.

But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

As the Pharisees had mustered, Jesus put a question to them.

If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets.

Jesus had left the Temple and was going on His way, when His disciples came and called His attention to the Temple buildings.

When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

There will be great trouble [during these times], such as had never been from the beginning of time up to the present, or ever will be [in the days to come].

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

But the sensible ones answered, 'There may not be enough for us and you. You had better go to the dealers and buy yourselves some.'

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.

Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.

In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.

But the one who had received the one went away [and] dug up the ground and hid his master's money.

And after a long time the lord of those servants came, and had a settlement with them.

And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.

And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.

And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

Thou oughtest therefore to have had my money to the changers, and then at my coming should I have received my mine own with vantage.

Take the one talent away from him, therefore, and give it to the servant who had the ten talents.

I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

Then those who had done what was right [i.e., the ones at His right side] replied, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you [something] to drink?

when I was a stranger, you did not invite me home, when I had no clothes, you did not supply me, when I was sick and in prison, you did not look after me.'

And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon who had been a leper,

there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board.

When his disciples saw that, they had indignation saying, "What needed this waste?

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

And when evening had come, He sat down with the Twelve.

The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born."

And after they had eaten, Jesus took bread and blessed and brake and gave it to his disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And when he had taken the cup and given thanks, he gave it to them, saying.

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

And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Was it so, that you had not strength to watch with me one hour?

And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.

And before he had done speaking, Judas one of the twelve appear'd, with a numerous retinue, arm'd with swords and staves, being sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.

Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, "[The one] whom I kiss--he is [the one]. Arrest him!"

but all this was to be done, in pursuance of what the prophets had predicted. then all the disciples abandon'd him, and fled.
