And they did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments twelve baskets.

They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.

And I assure you, there be some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him.

And as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

And as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they went up into the cloud and disappeared.

And when the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it to themselves, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had seen.

And the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him:

And I prayed thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, He said to his disciples,

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not, and they were afraid to ask Him concerning it.

But they would not entertain Him, because his face was towards Jerusalem.

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?

for the Son of man came not to destroy mens lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

And as they were going by the way, there was one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest:

But remain in the same house, eating and drinking such as they have; for the laborer is worthy of his hire.

Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you;

But into whatever city ye come, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of it and say,

Wo unto thee, Chorazin, wo unto thee, Bethsaida, for if the miracles wrought among you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And Jesus replying said, There was a certain man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thieves, who after they had stripped and beaten him, went away, leaving him half dead.

And as they were journeying, He entered into a certain village; and a woman named Martha received Him into her house.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your own people cast them out? wherefore they shall be your judges.

Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and so the last state of that man is worse than the first.

but He replied, Yea rather happy are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.

And when the multitudes were gathering thick together He began to say, This is a wicked generation: they demand a sign, but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:

And the men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for they repented upon the preaching of Jonas, and behold a greater than Jonas is here.

But yet no one having lighted a candle putteth it into a secret place, nor under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

Thus ye testify that ye approve of the deeds of your fathers; for they put them to death, and ye build their sepulchres.

And therefore the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute:

laying snares for Him, and endeavouring to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse Him.

In the mean time great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,

Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.

And when they bring you before the synagogues, and magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what defence to make, or what to say:

Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap; they have neither store-house nor barn, and yet God feedeth them: how much more worth are ye than the fowls?

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.

but he that knew it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?

Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

And as He went into the house of one of the chief of the pharisees to eat on the sabbath-day, and they were watching Him,

but they made no answer. And He took him and healed him, and sent him away:

and they were not able to answer Him again to these things.

And He spake a parable to those that were invited, observing how they chose the chief seats, saying unto them,

He said also to him that had invited Him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor thy rich neighbors; least they invite thee again, and so a return be made thee.

because they have not wherewith to requite thee: for a recompense shall be given thee at the resurrection of the just.

And they all with one consent began to make excuses; the first said, I have bought a field, and I must go and see it, pray have me excused.

it is neither fit for the land, nor for the dunghil; but they throw it away. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

for this my son was dead, and is alive again, and was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into everlasting habitations.

And besides, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.

for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.

Abraham answered him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them:

and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.

And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.

Then said He to the disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come: but wo to him by whom they come.

And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go and shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going, they were cleansed.

Neither shall they say, Behold it is here, or behold it is there; for the kingdom of God is within you.

And they will say to you, Behold, He is here, or behold He is there: but go not after them, nor follow them.

They were eating, drinking, marrying, and being married, till the day that Noah went into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.

And as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building:

And they answered and said unto Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

And they brought to Him infants also, that He might touch them: and his disciples seeing it rebuked them.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and insulted, and abused, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and put Him to death:

But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.

And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.

And they, that went before, rebuked him, that he might hold his peace, but he cried out the more, O Son of David, have pity on me.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone to be guest with a wicked man.

And as they listened to these things, He proceeded and spake a parable; because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately be manifested.

(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds already:)

And they that were sent, went away and found it as He had told them.

But as they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?

and they answered, The Lord hath need of him.

And they brought him to Jesus: and throwing their garments upon the colt they set Jesus thereon.

And as He went along they spread their clothes under Him in the way.

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,

saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at lest in this thy day, the things relating to thy peace--- but now they are hid from thine eyes.

and shall lay thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou didst not regard the time of thy visitation.

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

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 at the fruit-season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty.

And he sent another servant; and they beat him also and abused him, and sent him away empty.

And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see Him they will reverence Him.

But when the husbandmen saw Him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid.

And the chief priests and the scribes would have laid hands on Him at that very time, but were afraid of the people: for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.

And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.

And they asked Him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God in truth:

Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.

And they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer and said no more.

And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

for they can die no more, being like the angels: and they are the children of God as being the children of the resurrection.
