And, looking up, he said, "I behold men, because I see them as trees walking."

For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and suffer damage as to his soul?

Or what could a man give as an exchange for his soul?

For whosoever is ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

And His garments became shining, exceedingly white, such as no fuller on the earth can so whiten.

And Peter, answering, says to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good that we are here; and let us make three tents; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;"

And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved; hear ye Him."

And, as they were coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they should tell no one what they saw, until the Son of Man should arise from the dead.

And they were asking Him, saying, "How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

but I say to you that Elijah has both come, and they did to him whatsoever they wished, as it has been written of him."

And He asked his father, "How long a time is it since this has befallen him?" And he said, "From a child.

And oft-times it cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but, if Thou canst do anything, having compassion on us, help us!"

And, having cried out, and convulsed him much, it came out; and he became as one dead; so that many said, "He died!"

For He was teaching His disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and, having been killed, after three days He will rise again."

John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name; and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

But Jesus said, "Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall exercise power in My name, and be able quickly to speak evil of Me;

for he who is not against us is for us.

For whosoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And, if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is good for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having the two hands to go into Hell--into the unquenchable fire!

And, if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is good for you to enter into life lame, rather than having the two feet to be cast into Hell.

And, if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is good for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into Hell,

where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

Salt is good; but, if the salt becomes saltless, with what will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another."

And, rising up thence, He cometh into the borders of Judaea, and beyond the Jordan. And multitudes come together to Him again; and, as He was wont, He was teaching them again.

And the Pharisees, corning to Him, were asking Him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife!" tempting Him.

Verily I say to you, whosoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, will in no wise enter therein."

And, as He was going forth into the way, one, running to Him, and kneeling, was asking Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?"

And Jesus said to Him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good, but One??od.

And Jesus, looking on him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing is wanting to you: go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me."

And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus, again answering, saith to them, "Children, how difficult it is [for those who trust in riches] to enter into the Kingdom of God!

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

Jesus, looking upon them, saith, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God."

Jesus said, "Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for My sake and the Gospel's sake,

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying to Him, "Teacher, we wish that Thou wouldest do for us whatsoever we ask."

And they said to Him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand, and one on Thy left, in Thy Kingdom."

but to sit on My right hand, or on My left, is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

but it is not so among you; but whosoever wishes to become great among you shall be your minister;

And they come to Jericho: and, as He was going forth from Jericho, with His disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

And, standing still, Jesus said, "Call him." And they call the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer; arise, He is calling you!"

and saith to them, "Go into the village that is over against you; and straightway, as ye enter into it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.

And they said to them even as Jesus said; and they let them go.

And those going before, and those following, were crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is He That cometh in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the coming Kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the Highest!"

And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any; that your Father also Who is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

And they come again into Jerusalem. And, as He was walking about in the temple, the high priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him;

But those husbandmen said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

this was from the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes?"

And, coming, they say to Him, "Teacher, we know that Thou art true, and carest not for any one; for Thou lookest not into the face of men, but in truth teachest the way of God. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

And they brought it. And He saith to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" And they said to Him, "Caesar's."

And there come to Him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they were asking Him, saying,

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If any man's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.'

In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her as a wife."

Jesus said to them, "Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

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

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

And one of the scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing together, knowing that He answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is first of all?"

Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel; the Lord is our God, the Lord is One;

A second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

The scribe said to Him, "Well, Teacher, Thou didst say truly that He is One, and there is not another beside Him;

and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is much more than all the whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."

And Jesus, answering, said, while teaching in the temple, "How do the scribes say that the Christ is David's Son?

David himself calls Him Lord; and whence is He his Son?" And the great multitude heard Him gladly.

And one poor widow, coming, cast in two mites, which is a farthing.

And, as He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, "Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!"

And, as He was sitting upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately,

"Tell us, when shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?"

And, when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled; these things must come to pass; but the end is not yet.

And, when they lead you away, delivering you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak; but whatsoever is given you in that hour, this speak: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

And let him who is on the house not come down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house;

and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.

for those days will be a time of tribulation, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

And then, if any one shall say to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' or, 'Lo, there!' believe him not;

"Now from the fig tree learn the parable: when its branch already becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near;

so also do ye, when ye see these things coming to pass, know that He is near, at the doors.

Take heed, watch [and pray]; for ye know not when the time is.

It is as when a man away from home, having left his house, and having given authority to his servants, to each his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

Watch, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house is coming, at evening, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning;

And, while He was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly; and, having broken the cruse, she was pouring it down on His bead.

And, wheresoever he enters, say ye to the master of the house, 'The Teacher saith, Where is My guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with My disciples?'

And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; and there make ready for us."

And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as He said to them; and they made ready the passover.

And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "Verily I say to you, one of you will betray Me??ne who is eating with Me."

They began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him, one by one, "Is it I?"

And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve??e that is dipping with Me in the dish.

Because the Son of Man is going as it has been written concerning Him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had not been born."

And, as they were eating, having taken bread and blessed it, He broke, and gave to them, and said, "Take ye; this is My body."

And He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out in behalf of many.

And they come to a place the name of which is Gethsemane. And He saith to His disciples, "Sit ye here, while I pray."

And He saith to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, unto death! Abide here, and watch."

Watch, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit, indeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak."

And He cometh the third time, and saith to them, "Sleep on the remaining time, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour came; behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us be going. Behold, he that is betraying Me has come near."

Now he that was betraying Him gave them a signal, saying, "Whomsoever I shall kiss, This is He, take Him, and lead Him away securely."

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 in the temple teaching, and ye did not take Me; but this is done that the Scriptures may be fulfilled."

And, as Peter was beneath in the court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest;

And the maid, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This is one of them."

And, coming up, the multitude began to ask him to do as he was wont to do to them.

And the soldiers led Him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

And they bring Him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."
