Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.

Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.

In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.

But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it as'sure as ye can.

Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men.

He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

and it came to pass, as he sowed, some'seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.

And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;

And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many.

And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.

and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee , that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.

But Herod, when he heard thereof , said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.

For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
