But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.

Then calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, he shall preserve it.

For what would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul?

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them.

For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should have arisen from the dead.

Then he answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things; and how speaks the scripture of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them.

And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves?

and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable.

Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.

And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy.

And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.

And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?

And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.

And going from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not have any person know it.

For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise again.

And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the road?

And when he was seated, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desires to be the first, let him be last of all, and servant of all.

And taking a little boy, he set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,

Then John addressed him, saying, Master, we saw a person in thy name casting out devils, who followeth us not: and we forbad him, because he did not follow us.

For he that is not against us, is for us.

For whosoever shall give you even a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to the Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And whosoever shall give occasion of offence to one of these little ones who believe in me, it were desirable for him rather that a milestone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.

AND arising, he went from thence into the coasts of Judea, through the country on the other side of the Jordan; and again the multitudes came together unto him; and as his custom was, he again taught them.

He answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

Then Jesus answering said unto them, For the hardness of your hearts he wrote you that ordinance.

And he said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:

And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them.

But when Jesus saw it, he felt indignation, and said to them, Permit little children to come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in nowise enter into it.

And he took them in his arms, and laying his hand upon them, gave them his benediction.

And as he went out to the road, a person ran to him, and kneeling down, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Then he replying, said, Master, all these things have I observed from my youth.

And groaning over this speech, he went away sorrowful: for he had many estates.

And Jesus looking round, said to his disciples, How difficultly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Then his disciples were astonished at these words. But Jesus again addressing them, said unto them, Children, how difficult is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was advancing before them: and they were astonished; and followed him full of fear. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:

For, lo! said he, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles:

and they will insult him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

He said unto them, What will ye that I should do for you?

And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus, the blind, the son of Timeus, sat by the road-side begging:

and hearing that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to cry out, and say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!

And many chid him, that he should be silent: but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!

And Jesus stood still, and ordered him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up, arise; he calleth thee.

Then casting off his cloak, he arose, and came to Jesus.

Then said Jesus unto him, Go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

AND when he drew nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

And if any man say to you, Why do ye this? say, That the Lord hath need of it; and immediately he will send it hither.

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and put on him their garments; and he rode upon it.

And they who went before, and who followed after, cried, saying, Hosanna: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and looking round about upon all things, it being now even-tide, he departed to Bethany with the twelve.

And on the morrow, as they were coming out of Bethany, he was hungry:

and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, full of leaves, he went to it, expecting probably that he might find some fruit upon it: and when he came to it, he found none, only leaves: for it was not a [good] season for figs.

And he taught them, saying, Is it not written, that "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations?" but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And the scribes and chief priests heard him, and sought how they might destroy him: for they were afraid of him, because all the people were exceedingly struck with his teaching,

And when the evening came, he went away out of the city.

For verily I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart, but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may speak shall be done for him.

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, come to him,

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

but if we say of men??hey feared the people: for all men held John to be in truth a prophet.

AND he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.

And in the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

And again he sent unto them another servant; and they cut the account short with him, by stoning him, and sent him away shamefully treated.

And again he sent another; and him, they slew; and many others, some of whom they beat, and others they killed.

Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son.

What then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give his vineyard to others.

And they sought to seize him, and were afraid of the people: for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them: and leaving him, they departed.

shall we pay, or shall we not pay it? but he, perceiving their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.

And they brought it. And he said unto them, Whose figure and inscription is this? they say unto him, Caesar's.

and the second took her, and died, and neither did he leave issue; and the third in like manner.

But concerning the dead, that they do rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye are therefore vastly erroneous.

And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man thenceforth presumed to question him.

And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David?

David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.

And he spake to them in the course of his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in trailing robes, and like salutations in the places of concourse,

And as Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, he saw a multitude casting money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in many [pieces].

And having called his disciples, he said unto them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:

AND as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, behold what vast stones, and what structures!

And as he was sitting on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garment.

And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he hath elected, he hath shortened the days.

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather to him his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the utmost bound of heaven.

As a man going abroad, when he left his abode, and gave his servants authority, and to each his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

lest coming suddenly he find you asleep.

NOW the passover and the feast of unleavened bread were but two days distant; and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might seize him by craft, and kill him.

And when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of ointment, of genuine spikenard, of vast value: and breaking the vase, she let it flow down upon his head.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, that he might betray him unto them.

When they heard it, they rejoiced, and promised to give him a sum in silver. And he watched how opportunely he might deliver him up.

And he sent two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water, follow him.

And where he enters, say to the master of the family. That the teacher saith, Where is the dining-room, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

And he will shew you a large upper room ready furnished: there make preparation for us.
