And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus repeating it, saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them, that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God!

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,

But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.

Then come to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Master, we desire that thou wouldest do for us what we shall request:

they said unto Him, Grant that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.

But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

And they said, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, shall ye be baptized:

But Jesus called them to Him, and said unto them, Ye know that those who rule among the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their grandees exercise authority upon them.

And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity on me.

And Jesus said to him, What dost thou desire that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to Him, Lord, that I may recover my sight.

And if any one say to you, Why do ye so? tell him, that the Lord hath need of it, and he will immediately send it hither.

And some of the people that stood there, said to them, What do ye mean by untying the colt?

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna, blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord:

blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.

Then they came to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to turn out those that sold and bought in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:

that whosoever shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith shall be done, he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

But when ye pray, forgive, if ye have any thing against any one, that your heavenly Father may also forgive you your trespasses:

but if we should say, from men --- they feared the people: (for they they all thought that John was a prophet indeed:)

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from them of the fruit of the vineyard:

And they sought to lay hands on Him, but they were afraid of the people; (for they knew that He spake the parable against them) and they left Him, and went away.

and these, when they came, said to Him, Master, we know that thou art a man of truth, and carest for no man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Cesar, or not? should we give, or should we not give?

But He knew their hypocrisy, and said to them, Why do ye tempt me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Render then unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at Him.

and they asked Him, saying, Master, Moses, in his writings tells us, if any one's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

But as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

And one of the scribes, who heard them disputing, seeing that He answered them well, came to Him and asked Him, Which is the chief commandment of all?

And Jesus seeing that he answered discreetly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared any more to put questions to Him.

And Jesus spake and said, as He was teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say, that the Christ is the son of David?

So that David himself calleth Him Lord: how then is He his son? And many of the people heard Him with pleasure.

and there came a poor widow and put in two mites, that is, a farthing.

And He called his disciples to Him, and saith unto them, Verily I tell you, that this poor widow has given more than all those who have cast into the treasury.

For they all have contributed out of their abundance: but she out of her penury hath given all that she had, even her whole living.

But when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not anxiously careful beforehand what ye shall speak, neither premeditate: but whatever shall be suggested to you at that very time, this speak: for it is not you that speak, but the holy Spirit.

And ye shall be hated by all men for my sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

Now when ye shall see the desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, set up where it ought not to be, (let him that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:

and let not him that is at the top of the house come down into the house, nor go in to fetch any thing out of his house:

nor let him that is in the field return back for his clothes.

But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days.

But pray that your flight may not be in the winter;

But in those days, after that affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give it's light; and the stars of heaven shall fall,

Now learn a parable from the fig-tree: when it's branch is tender and bringeth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh;

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

Verily I tell you, that this generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled.

But of THAT day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

And when they were sat down and eating together, Jesus said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me, who is now eating with me.

Is it I? And He said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that is now dipping with me in the dish.

The Son of man is going indeed as it is written concerning Him; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed; it had been good for him, if that man had never been born.

and I assure you, that I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, till the day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.

And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I tell thee, that to day, even in this very night, before the cock crow twice thou wilt deny me thrice.

And going a little farther, He prostrated Himself, and prayed, if it were possible, that this hour might pass from Him.

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

And one of those that were present, drawing a sword, struck at the high priest's servant, and took off his ear.

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

saying, We heard Him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands:

And the maid seeing him again said to them that stood by, This is one of them: and he denied it again.

And a little after, they that stood by, said to Peter again, Thou art certainly one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like theirs.

but Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.

(for he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up to him out of envy:)

but the chief priests incited the people to desire that he would rather release Barabbas to them.

so that the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."

And they that passed by reviled Him, shaking their heads and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest, the temple,

the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe in Him. And even they that were crucified with Him, reviled Him.

And some of them that stood by hearing it, said, Behold He calleth upon Elias.

And when the centurion, that stood over against Him, saw that He expired with such a cry, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

But Pilate wondered that He was dead already, and therefore calling for the centurion he asked him if He had been dead any time:

(but when they looked up, they saw that the stone was rolled away,) for it was a very great one.

But go, tell his disciples, and Peter particularly, that He is going before you into Galilee: there ye will see Him, as He told you.

and she went and told those that used to be with Him, who were mourning and weeping;

but they, though they heard that He was indeed alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe it.

he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be condemned.

And these signs shall accompany them that believe; in my name shall they cast out demons, they shall speak with new tongues;

most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast been instructed.

according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring into the temple of the Lord:

And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee this good news:

and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.

but when he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:

And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;

thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;

and whence is this honor to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.

for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,

and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.

He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.

and her neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;

And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.

And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.

even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,

to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,

to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace."

Now in those days an edict was published by Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be enrolled or taxed,

that this day is born, in the city of David, your Saviour Christ the Lord.

and all that heard it, were amazed at the things which were related to them by the shepherds.

(as it is written in the law of the Lord, That every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:) and to offer a sacrifice,

And it was revealed to him by the holy Spirit, that he should not die before he had seen the Anointed of the Lord.

And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things that were spoken concerning Him.

(and a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be discovered.

And coming in at the very same time, gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all that were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

And all that heard Him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
