And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that in the renewal [of the world], when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me--you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

But many [who are] first will be last, and the last first.

And to those [people] he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.'

Thus the last will be first and the first last."

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock [him] and flog [him] and crucify [him], and on the third day he will be raised."

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

It will not be like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

saying to them, "Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie [them] [and] bring [them] to me.

And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, 'The Lord {needs them},' and he will send them at once."

And he said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!"

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only [what was done to] the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will happen!

And whatever you ask in prayer, [if you] believe, you will receive."

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "I also will ask you one question. If you tell [the answer] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

And [he] approached the second [and] said the same [thing]. So he answered [and] said, 'I [will], sir,' and he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

So finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?"

They said to him, "He will destroy those evil [men] completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season."

For this [reason], I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people who produce its fruits.

And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and [the one] on whom it falls--it will crush him!"

Then the king said to the servants, 'Tie him up {hand and foot} [and] throw him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!'

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her [as wife]."

And the greatest among you will be your servant.

And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you escape from the condemnation to hell?

For this [reason], behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes. [Some] of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will pursue from town to town,

so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Truly I say to you, all these [things] will come upon this generation!

For I tell you, you will never see me from now [on] until you say, 'Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

But he answered [and] said to them, "Do you not see all these [things]? Truly I say to you, not [one] stone will be left here on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

And [as] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.

For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in [various] places.

"Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,

and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many,

and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.

But the one who endures to the end--this person will be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.

And unless those days had been shortened, {no human being would be saved}. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

"And immediately after the tribulation of those days, 'the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.'

And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from [one] end of heaven to the [other] end of it.

Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all these [things] take place!

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

For just as the days of Noah [were], so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

And they did not know [anything] until the deluge came and swept [them] all away. So also the coming of the Son of Man will be.

Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left.

Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.

For this [reason] you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think [he will come].

Blessed [is] that slave whom his master will find so doing [when he] comes back.

Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know,

and will cut him in two and assign his place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

But the wise ones answered saying, "Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell [olive oil] and buy [some] for yourselves.'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

For to everyone who has, [more] will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness--in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!'

Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left.

Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, [you] who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed [you], or thirsty and give [you something] to drink?

And the king will answer [and] say to them, 'Truly I say to you, in as much as you did [it] to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did [it] to me.'

Then he will also say to those on [his] left, 'Depart from me, [you] accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not serve you?'

Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do [it] to one of the least of these, you did not do [it] to me.'

And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

"You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over in order to be crucified."

But they were saying, "Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people."

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."

And [while] they were eating he said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me."

And he answered [and] said, "The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me--this one will betray me.

But I tell you, from now [on] I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."

Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."

But Peter answered [and] said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"

Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!"

Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same [thing].

And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you [will]."

Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak!"

Again for the second time he went away [and] prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done."

Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword.

Jesus said to him, "You have said [it]. But I tell you, from now [on] you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."

And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times," and he went outside [and] wept bitterly.

"He saved others; he is not able to save himself! He is the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him!

saying, "Sir, we remember that [while] that deceiver was still alive he said, 'After three days I will rise.'

Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come [and] steal him and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

And go quickly, tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.' Behold, I have told you."
