And he spoke this word plainly; and Peter taking hold of him, rebuked him.

And calling the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever wishes to follow after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

but I tell you, that Elijah has come, and they have done to him what they wished, as it was written of him.

And immediately all the multitude seeing him, were highly pleased, and ran forward and saluted him.

And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought my son to you, having a dumb spirit;

and wherever it takes him it convulses him, and he foams and grates his teeth, and becomes emaciated. And I spoke to your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.

And he answered and said to them, O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.

And they brought him to him. And seeing him, the spirit immediately affected him with convulsions, and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming.

And he asked his father, How long a time is it since this came upon him? And he said, From a little child;

and it often casts him into fire, and into waters, to destroy him; but if you are able, help us, and have mercy on us.

And Jesus said to him, If you are able? all things are possible to him that believes.

And Jesus seeing that a multitude ran together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying to him, Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more.

And crying out and affecting him with many convulsions, he went out. And he was like a dead person, so that many said, He is dead.

But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up, and he stood up.

And when he went into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not cast it out?

And departing thence, he passed through Galilee, and desired that no one should know him,

for he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him. And when he is killed, on the third day he shall rise again.

And they understood not the word, and were afraid to ask him.

Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me, but him that sent me.

And John spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him.

And Jesus said, Forbid him not; for no one will perform a mighty work in my name, and be able lightly to speak evil of me.

And whoever shall offend one of the little ones having faith, it would be better for him if a millstone was put about his neck and he was cast into the sea.

AND he arose and went thence into the bounds of Judea, and beyond the Jordan; and again multitudes came together to him, and again he taught them as he was accustomed.

And the Pharisees came and asked him, to try him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

And his disciples asked him again, in the house, concerning this.

And they brought him little children that he should touch them; and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

And as he was going on the way, one ran before and kneeled down to him, and asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? none is good but one, God.

And he answered and said to him, Teacher, all these have I kept from my youth.

And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack; go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in heaven; and come and take up your cross and follow me.

Peter said to him, Behold we have left all things and followed you.

And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and afraid, as they followed him. And again taking the twelve aside, he told them the things that were about to befall him;

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the gentiles,

and they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him, and after three days he shall rise again.

And James and John, sons of Zebedee, came to him, saying, Teacher, we wish you to do for us what we will ask of you.

And they said to him, Grant us that we may sit one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in your glory.

And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, You shall drink of the cup of which I drink, and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized;

but it shall not be so with you. But whoever wishes to be great among you, let him be your minister;

and whoever wishes to be first of you, let him be a servant of all.

And many charged him to be still. But he cried much more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus stopping, said, Call him. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage; arise, he calls you.

And Jesus answered him and said, What do you wish me to do for you? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

And Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. And he immediately received sight, and followed him in the way.

and said to them, Go into the village opposite to you, and as you enter it you will immediately find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat; untie him and bring him.

And if any one says to you, Why do you do this? say, The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him.

And they went and found a colt tied at the door without, at the crossing of the streets, and they untied him.

And he spoke and said to it, Let no one eat fruit of you forever! And his disciples heard him.

And the scribes and chief priests came and sought how they might destroy him, for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his teaching.

And Peter remembering, said to him, Rabbi, behold the fig tree which you cursed is dried up.

I tell you truly, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be raised up and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he says will be done, whatever he says shall be done for him.

And they came again to Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders came to him,

and said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do them?

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him?

and they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent another servant to them, and they wounded him on the head, and treated him shamefully.

And he sent another, and they killed him; and many others, and they beat some, and killed some.

Having yet one beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.

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

And seizing him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

And they sought to take him, and feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them. And they left him, and went away.

And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and Herodians to ensnare him in his words.

And they came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no one, for you respect not the face of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

And they brought him one. And he said to them, Whose is this figure, and the inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.

And Jesus said, Render Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. And they wondered at him.

And the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him, saying,

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

And one of the scribes coming forward hearing them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, What commandment is first of all?

And the scribe said to him, Well, teacher, you have said truly; there is one [God], and no other but him;

and to love him with all the heart, and all the understanding, and all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And Jesus seeing him, that he answered understandingly, said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God; and no one dared to question him more.

David himself calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.

AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings!

And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately,

And when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, let him that reads understand, then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;

and let not him that is on the house go down into the house, nor enter to take any thing out of his house;

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

AND after two days was the passover and the unleavened bread. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might take him by deception, and kill him.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray him to them.

And when they heard him they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might betray him at a convenient time.

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said to him, Where do you wish us to go and prepare to eat the passover?

And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you bearing an earthen pitcher of water. Follow him,

And they were sorry, and said to him, one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I?

The Son of man goes indeed as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would be good for him if that man had not been born.

But Peter said to him, Even if all should be offended, yet I will not.

And Jesus said to him, I tell you truly, that to-day, on this night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me thrice.

And he took Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed and dejected.

And going forward a little he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass away from him.

And again coming he found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders.

And the traitor had given them this signal, saying, Whom I shall kiss, he is the one; take him, and lead him away safely.

And coming, he immediately approached him, and said, Rabbi! Rabbi! and kissed him.

And they laid hands on him and took him.

And all forsook him and fled.

And one young man followed him with a linen cloth wrapped about his naked body. And the young men caught him;

AND they led away Jesus to the chief priest; and all the chief priests, and elders, and scribes came together to him.

And Peter followed him at a distance, till he came into the court of the chief priest; and he sat with the officers and warmed himself before the light.
