And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.

And when evening had come, he went out of the city.

The next morning, [as they returned to the city], they passed by the fig tree and saw that it had withered, clear down to its roots.

And Peter, remembering what Jesus had said, says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.

No, let us say, From men" ??but they were afraid of the multitude, for the people all held John had been really a prophet.

And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut. 25:5] that if a man's brother dies, leaving his widow behind without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children by her. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother's.

There were seven brothers. The first one married, and when he died he had no children.

And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.

In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.

For the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?

And Jesus, [when he] saw that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dared to put a question to him any longer.

And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.

There will be great trouble during those days, such as had never been from the beginning of God's creation until the present, or even will be [in the days to come].

And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

While He was in Bethany at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease, as He was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

She applied what she had to anoint my body. She did it beforehand for the burial.

After they had listened to him, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So he began to look for a good opportunity to betray him.

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

And when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said: "I tell you that one of you is going to betray me--one who is eating with me."

The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.

And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, when he had blessed, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take this: this is my body.

And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.

And [after they] had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour?

And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss.

"Have you come out," said Jesus, "with swords and cudgels to arrest me, as if you had to fight with a robber?

And a certain young man [Note: Some think this is a reference to Mark himself], who had a linen outer garment thrown over his scantily clad body, was following Jesus until they [i.e., the soldiers and officers] took hold of him. [Note: The wording here does not indicate total nakedness, but rather the wearing of underclothing only]

Then they took Jesus to the high priest. All the high priests, elders, and scribes had gathered together.

And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

Again the maidservant who had noticed him began to tell the bystanders, "That fellow is one of them."

And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

And the people went up, requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years.

For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.

But the high priests had moved the people that he should, rather, deliver Barabbas unto them.

And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.

And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.

And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots for them, what every man should have.

And the inscription of his accusation, had been inscribed - THE KING OF THE JEWS.

The Christ, the King of Israel - let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And, they who had been crucified with him, were casting it in his teeth.

And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.

And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.

Now, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, were viewing how he had been laid.

When the Sabbath had ended, Mary of Magdala, Mary, James's mother, and Salome bought spices to go and anoint Him.

And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put.

They had been asking each other, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"

And [when they] looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away (for it was very large).

but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.

Now when he came back from the dead early on the first day of the week, he went first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had sent out seven evil spirits.

She went and gave news of it to those who had been with him, while they were sorrowing and weeping.

And they, when it came to their ears that he was living, and had been seen by her, had no belief in it.

And they went away and gave news of it to the rest; and they had no belief in what was said.

And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had said these words to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.

Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, -

In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.

And as was the way of the priests, he had to go into the Temple to see to the burning of perfumes.

Now, see, you will be without voice or language till the day when these things come about, because you had not faith in my words, which will have effect at the right time.

And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.

And so it happened, when he had completed the [required] days of his ministry, he went home.

And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?

no sooner had Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, but the babe leap'd within her:

Happy will she be who had faith that the things which the Lord has said to her will be done.

For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.

Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;

as he had spoken to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed.

Now it was time for Elisabeth to give birth, and she had a son.

And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.
