He said to them: "What do you wish me to do for you?

They said to him: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy glory.

Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed?

They said to him: "We are able. Jesus said to them: You shall drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed.

But to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared.

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

And Jesus said to him: Go, your faith has saved you. And he immediately received his sight, and followed Jesus on the road.

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

And they said to them as Jesus had commanded; and they gave them permission.

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and put their mantles upon him, and he sat on him.

and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things?

And Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

And they answered and said to Jesus: We do not know. And Jesus answering, said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

They brought it; and he said to them: Whose image and superscription is this? They said to him: Caesar's.

And Jesus answered and said to them: Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s. And they were astonished at him.

And Jesus answered and said to them: Do you not err for this reason, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?

And the scribe said to him: Teacher, in truth you have well said, that there is one God, and there is no other beside him;

And Jesus perceiving that he answered with understanding, said to him: You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one, after that, ventured to ask him a question.

And Jesus, as he was teaching in the temple, answered and said: How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?

And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury.

And Jesus answering, said to him: Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

But they said: Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people.

And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

And while they were reclining at table, and were eating, Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, One of you, he that eats with me, will deliver me up.

He answered and said to them: It is one of the twelve, he that dips with me into the dish.

And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said: Take, eat; this is my body.

And he said to them: This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.

And Jesus said to them: All of you will find in me an occasion for offense this night; for it is written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

Peter said to him: Though all should find occasion for offense, yet I will not.

And Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, this day, during this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.

But he said with the more vehemence: Though it should be necessary for me to die with thee, I would not deny thee. And so said they all.

And they came to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples: Sit here, while I pray.

And he said to them: My soul is encompassed with sorrow, even to death; remain here, and watch.

And he came the third time, and said to them: Sleep the remaining time, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

And when he came, he immediately went up to him and said: Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.

And Jesus answering, said to them: Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me?

And Peter followed him, at a distance, even into the palace of the chief priest, and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself at the fire.

But he was silent, and made no answer. Again, the chief priest asked him, and said to him: Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

And the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: What further need have we of witnesses?

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

And Pilate asked him: Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering, said: You say it.

And Pilate answered and said again to them: What, then, do you wish me to do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?

But Pilate said to them: Why, what evil has he done? But they cried vehemently: Crucify him.

Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, speaking in derision one to another, said: He saved others; himself he can not save.

And they said among themselves: Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the sepulcher?

And they entered the sepulcher, and saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe: and they were frightened.

But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.

And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.

And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.

And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.

But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?

And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God.

And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.

And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,

And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.

And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.

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

And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against,

And when they had kept the full number of days, and had set out to return, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew it not.

And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: Child, why have you acted thus toward us? Be hold, your father and I have sought for you in sorrow.

And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?

Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
