But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

But the sensible ones answered, 'There may not be enough for us and you. You had better go to the dealers and buy yourselves some.'

But [while] they had gone away to buy [it] the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

"After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.

Take the one talent away from him, therefore, and give it to the servant who had the ten talents.

I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

Then those who had done what was right [i.e., the ones at His right side] replied, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you [something] to drink?

when I was a stranger, you did not invite me home, when I had no clothes, you did not supply me, when I was sick and in prison, you did not look after me.'

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

Then the leading priests and elders of the [Jewish] people were gathered in the courtroom of the head priest, named Caiaphas.

While Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, a man who had a serious skin disease,

There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Now as they were eating Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you;

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter: Was it so, that you had not strength to watch with me one hour?

And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.

Then came he to his disciples and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your rest. Take heed: the hour is at hand, and the son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

He had scarcely finished speaking when Judas came--one of the Twelve--accompanied by a great crowd of men armed with swords and bludgeons, sent by the High Priests and Elders of the People.

Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.

Just then, one of those who were with Jesus [i.e., Peter. See John 18:10], reached out with his sword and struck the head priest's servant [with it], shearing off his ear.

but all this was to be done, in pursuance of what the prophets had predicted. then all the disciples abandon'd him, and fled.

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Peter followed Him from a distance [as they were going] to the courtyard of the head priest. He went inside [i.e., eventually. See John 18:15-16] and sat down with the [Jewish] officers to see how things would turn out [i.e., with Jesus' trial].

But they couldn't find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. At last two men came forward

The head priest stood up and said to Him, "Have you nothing to answer? What about this charge being made against you by these people?"

But Jesus did not say anything. So, the head priest said to Him, "I command you [to swear] by the living God, [and] to tell us if you are the Christ [i.e., God's specially chosen one], the Son of God!"

Then the head priest tore at his clothing [i.e., as an expression of frustration], saying, "He has spoken against God [i.e., by claiming Deity for Himself]. What additional need do we have for witnesses? Look, you [yourselves] have now heard him speaking against God.

Then they spit in his face and hit him. Some slapped him,

saying, "Prophesy for us, [you] Christ! Who is it who hit you?"

And when he had gone out into the entrance, another maid saw him, and says to those there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.

And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."

So, they conferred together [and decided] to buy "The Potter's Field" with the money [Note: This was probably an abandoned field where clay had been obtained for making pottery], for use in burying people who were not from the local area.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord.

And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

So when they had assembled [for this purpose], Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to set free for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

While he was seated on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous and innocent Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.”

But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus.

So Pilate, since he saw that he was making no headway with them, but that a riot was about to break out instead, took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, and said, "I am not responsible for this man's death; you must see to it yourselves."

Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

and when they had stript Him, they covered Him with a scarlet robe;

And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;

And sitting down, they guarded him there, And set up over his head his accusation written,

And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people.

When the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, “This man really was God’s Son!”

And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

The day after??hat is, the day following the Preparation??he chief priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate and said:

After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary had gone to look at the grave,

But to their amazement there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had descended from Heaven, and had come and rolled back the stone, and was sitting upon it.

He is not here, for He has risen just as He said [He would]. Come and see the place where the Lord had been lying,

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers [i.e., the disciples, that you have seen me], so they can head for Galilee where they will see me."

And as they went, behold, some of the watch went into the city, and brought word to the chief priests of all that had taken place.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

And they took the money and did as they had been taught. And this report is current among the Jews until this day.

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

When they saw him, they worshipped him, though some had doubts.

And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.

And he proclaimed, saying, The stronger than I comes after me, of whom I am not sufficient, having bent the head, to loose the strings of his shoes.

And after John {had been taken into custody}, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the people he had hired, and went after him.

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

All of a sudden, there was a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit! He screamed,

And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they told Him about her.

Then He went up to her, grasped her hand, and had her get up. The fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.

But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;
