And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.

Then Peter said, “Look, we have left what we had and followed You.”

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;

Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

there was a man called Zacchaeus, the head of the taxgatherers, a wealthy man,

But when they saw this, everyone began to mutter that he had gone to be the guest of a sinner.

But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

'And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;

He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

then why did you not put my silver on the [broker's] table, and when I came I should have had the same, with interest?

And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, when he had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

Then they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and had Jesus get on it.

And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

And he answered, and said to them: I say to you, that if these had been silent, the stones would have cried out.

And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

They will throw you and your children, [who are] within your walls, to the ground and they will not allow one stone to remain on top of another in your city because you did not recognize that [God was] visiting you." [Note: This "visitation" refers either to the redemption which they had rejected or to the punishment of the siege and destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70].

And they made answer that they had no idea where it came from.

Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time [to another country].

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

And watching him, they sent men they had suborned, who pretended that they were righteous persons, in order to lay hold of some word of his, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.

"Show me a florin. Whose head and title are on it?"

They said to Him, "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.

Now there were seven brothers, and the first had a wife and came to his end, having no children;

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

And they had fear of putting any more questions to him.

'Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,

For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Then came the preparation day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

For I tell you that I shall not eat it again, until it has had its fulfillment in the Kingdom of God."

And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

And in the same way the cup after [they] had eaten, saying, "This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.

And there had been also a contention among them, which of them was thought to be the greatest.

And after he had gone out, he went, according to custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples followed him.

And when he arose from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow:

While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.

Then a certain one of them struck the head priest's slave and sheared off his right ear. [Note: It was Peter who struck this man, whose name was Malchus. See John 18:10].

Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders [of the Sanhedrin] who had come out against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

Then they arrested Jesus and led Him away to the head priest's house [i.e., Caiaphas. See Matt. 26:57]. But Peter followed Him from a distance [i.e., as they went to the head priest's courtyard].

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, “This man was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.”

"Man, I don't know what you mean," replied Peter. No sooner had he spoken than a cock crowed.

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

how he had said to him, Before cock-crowing, thou wilt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking and ridiculing Him [and treating Him with contempt] and beating Him.

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

Then Pilate said to the leading priests and to the crowds [that had gathered], "I do not find anything wrong with this man."

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

So he had been asking him many questions, but Jesus made no answers.

And the chief priests and the scholars had stood, vehemently accusing him.

And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

said to them, You have brought me this man as one that perverts the people; and behold, having had an examination before you, I have found in this man no cause for the charges which you bring against him,

who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.

But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

And when they had led him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenaean, coming out of the country, and laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’

And when they had come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

And the people had stood watching. And also the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others. He should save himself, if this is the Christ, the chosen of God.

There was moreover a writing over His head: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he began praising and honoring God, saying, “Certainly this Man was innocent.”

And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

who had not consented to their decision and deed. He came from of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,

And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day."

Then they remembered what He had said to them.
