And He spake the saying openly. And Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him.

And, calling the multitude to Him with His disciples, He said to them, "If any one wishes to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

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 after six days Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

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 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 straightway all the multitude, seeing Him, were greatly amazed; and, running to Him, were saluting Him.

And one of the multitude answered Him, "Teacher, I have brought to Thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;

and wheresoever it seizes upon him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I spake to Thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they were not able."

And He, answering, saith to them, "O faithless generation! how long shall I be with you! how long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me."

And they brought him to Him. And, seeing Him, the spirit straightway convulsed him; and, falling upon the ground, he was wallowing, foaming.

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!"

Jesus said to him, "'If thou canst!' All things are possible to him that believes."

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

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

But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.

And, when He came into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could not we cast it out?"

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."

But they were not understanding the saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

"Whosoever receives one of such little children in My name, receives Me; and whosoever receives Me, receives not Me, but Him Who sent Me."

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;

And whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones, who believe, it were better for him, if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

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.

And in the house the disciples asked Him again concerning this.

And they were bringing little children to Him, that He might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.

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 he said to Him, "Teacher, all these things I observed from my youth."

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 they were being exceedingly astonished, saying to Him, "And who can be saved?"

Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we left all, and followed Thee."

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them. And they were being amazed: and those following Him were being terrified. And, again taking with Him the twelve, He began to tell them the things about to happen to Him:

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the high priests, and to the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and will deliver Him up to the gentiles;

and they will mock Him and will spit upon Him, and will scourge Him, and will kill Him; and after three days He will rise again."

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."

And they said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and the immersion with which I am immersed shall ye be immersed;

And Jesus, calling them to Him, saith to them, "Ye know that those thinking to rule over the gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them;

And many were rebuking him, that he should be silent. But he kept crying much more, "Son of David! have mercy on me!"

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 Jesus, answering him, said, "What do you wish that I should do for you?" And the blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight."

And Jesus said to him, "Go your way, your faith has healed you." And straightway he received sight, and was following Jesus in the way.

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, if any one say to you, 'Why do ye this?' say ye, 'The Lord hath need of him;' and straight-way he will send him back hither."

And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without on the street; and they loose him.

And they bring the colt to Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and He sat on him.

And the high priests and scribes heard it, and were seeking how they might destroy Him; for they were fearing Him, for all the multitude was astonished at His teaching.

And Peter, calling to remembrance, says to Him, "Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which Thou didst curse has withered away!"

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;

and said to Him, "By what authority art Thou doing these things! Or who gave Thee this authority to do these things!"

"If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did ye not believe him!' But, should we say, 'From men,'"??hey feared the people; for all held John to be a prophet indeed.

And, taking him, they beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and dishonored.

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

He had yet one, a beloved son; he sent him to them last, saying, 'They will pay deference to my son.'

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

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

And they were seeking to lay hold of Him; and they feared the multitude; for they knew that He spake the parable against them; and, leaving Him, they went away.

And they send to Him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may entrap Him in speech.

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 Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.

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

But, concerning the dead, that they are raised, did ye not read in the book of Moses, at the 'Bush,' how God spake to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'

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?"

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, seeing that he answered discreetly, said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." And no one any more dared to question Him.

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

And, calling to Him His disciples, He said to them, "Verily I say to you, this poor widow cast in more than all who are casting into the treasury;

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

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

But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand), then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

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.

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

Now after two days was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the high priests and the scribes were seeking how, taking Him by guile, they might kill Him;

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the high priests, that he might deliver Him up to them.

And they, hearing it, rejoiced, and promised to give him money. And he was seeking how he might conveniently deliver Him up.

And, on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they were slaying the passover, His disciples say to Him, "Where dost Thou wish that we, going, prepare, that Thou mayest eat the passover?"

And He sendeth two of His disciples, and saith to them, "Go your way into the city; and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him.

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

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."

But Peter said to Him, "If even all should be made to stumble, yet will not I!"

And Jesus saith to him, "Verily I say to you, that you today, in this night, before the cock crows twice, will thrice deny Me."

And He taketh with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and to be in distress.

And going forward a little, He fell on the ground, and was praying, that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from Him.

And, returning, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer Him.

And straightway, while He yet spake, comes Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

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, having come, going straightway to Him, he says, "Rabbi;" and kissed Him.

And they laid hands on Him, and took Him.

And, having left Him, they all fled.

And a certain young man was following with Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body; and they lay hold on him;

And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and there come together with him all the high priests and the elders and the scribes.
