And when he was returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to be called to him, to whom he had delivered the money, that he might know what use each had made of it.

for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man, who takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.

And when He was nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, He sent two of his disciples,

And when He was now come near to the foot of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples rejoicing began to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

And He was teaching daily in the temple: but the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy Him;

And on one of those days as He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes and elders came upon Him, saying,

Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?

but if we say, Of men, the people will all stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

And they answered, they did not know whence it was.

And as some were speaking of the temple; how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, He said, As for these things which ye see,

Thus He was by day teaching in the temple; and at night He retired to the mount called the mount of Olives.

Then entred Satan into Judas who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve.

The day of unleavened bread being come, on which the paschal-lamb was to be slain,

And when the hour was come, He sat down and the twelve apostles with Him.

and the Son of man is going indeed as was determined; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed.

And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do it.

And there was also a dispute among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest:

for I tell you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, "And He was numbered with transgressors," for the things foretold concerning me are near at an end.

And when He was at the place, He said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

And when He was withdrawn from them about a stone's-cast, He kneeled down and prayed saying,

And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like clotted blood falling down upon the ground.

And while He was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, came before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss Him:

When I was day after day with you in the temple, ye did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

and a servant-maid seeing him as he sat by the fire, and looking hard at him, said, This fellow was also with Him:

And about an hour after, another confidently affirmed saying, In truth this fellow also was with Him; for he is a Galilean too: but Peter answered,

Man, I know not what thou sayst. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

and when they had blind-folded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, Prophesy who it was that smote thee.

And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and chief-priests, and scribes, assembled together, and ordered Him up into their council:

and understanding that He was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also at Jerusalem at that time.

And Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had of a long time been desirous to see Him, because he had heard much of Him, and he hoped to see some miracle wrought by Him.

Now he was obliged to release one to them at the feast.

(who for a riot in the city, and for murder, was committed to prison:)

And there was a superscription written over Him in Greek, and Latin and Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour.

And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this man was righteous.

And behold there was a man of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, named Joseph, a counsellor, a good man and a just:

(who had not consented to their counsel nor their action; and who was also himself in expectation of the kingdom of God:)

Now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath was coming on:

wherefore the women, that came with Him from Galilee, followed Joseph, and saw the sepulchre, and how the body was laid:

He is not here, He is risen: remember how He spake to you, when He was yet in Galilee,

Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, that told these things to the apostles:

And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to Him, Art thou only a sojourner at Jerusalem, and hast not heard of the things which have been done there within these few days?

And He said unto them, What things? And they replied, Those concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet powerful both in work and word before God and all the people:

But we hoped that it was He that would have delivered Israel: and besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.

and not finding his body there, came and said likewise that they had seen a vision of angels, who said He was alive.

Was not the Messiah to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?

And they drew nigh to the village whither they were going: and He made as if He was going farther.

And He disappeared from them. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, as He was talking with us by the way, and while He was opening to us the scriptures?

And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all the things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and Psalms, concerning me.

and said unto them, thus it is written, and thus it was necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead on the third day;

And while He was blessing them, He was parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

By Him were all things made, and without Him was not any one thing made that was made.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John:

He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of the light.

The true light was that which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and yet the world knew Him not:

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, being full of grace and truth: and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father.

Of Him did John bare witness, and publicly declared, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ:

These things passed at Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me.

The day following John was standing, (and two of his disciples,)

and looking upon Jesus as He was walking, he saith, "Behold the lamb of God."

He saith unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.

Now Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard what John said, and thereupon followed Jesus.

Now Philip was of Bethsaida the city of Andrew and Peter.

And on the third day after, there was a marriage at Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.

And when the manager of the feast had tasted the water which was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants, that drew the water, knew,) he called the bride-groom,

For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,

Therefore when he was risen from the dead,

And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast-day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.

for He knew all men, and He had no need that any should testify concerning man; for He knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews:

And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him.

And Jacob's well was there. Now Jesus was tired with his journey, and sat down at the well: and it was about the sixth hour of the day,

And when He was come into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Thy son is well.

So the father knew that it was in that same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is well. And he and his whole family believed.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under.

And there was a man who had been under illness thirty eight years.

And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked.

Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.

And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.

He was indeed a burning and shining light, and for a while ye willingly rejoiced in his light.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

(and this He said to try him, for He knew what He was going to do:)

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down: (now there was much grass in the place:) so the men sat down in number about five thousand.

Therefore the people when they had seen the miracle that Jesus wrought, said, this is certainly the Prophet who was to come into the world.

And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea:

and having entered into a ship were going over the Sea towards Capernaum: and it was now dark, and Jesus was not yet come to them.

They desired therefore to take Him into the ship: and immediately the vessel was at the land to which they were going.
