And he said, I entreat thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to my paternal mansion:

for I have five brothers: that he may testify to them, that they also come not into this place of torment.

THEN he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come; but wo to him through whom they come!

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

And will he not rather say, Prepare for me to sup, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I eat and drink; and after that, thou shalt eat and drink thyself?

Doth he hold it as a favour from that servant, that he did the things which were ordered him? I think not.

And looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean.

Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God,

They did eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed them all.

In that day, let not the man who is upon the roof, and his goods in the house, go down to carry them away: and he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not return for any things behind him.

I tell you, in that night two shall be in the same bed; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.

THEN he spake also to them a parable, to shew that we ought to pray always, and not faint;

and there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Do me justice against my adversary.

Yes, I tell you, that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, ah! shall he find faith on the earth?

Then he spake also this parable to certain persons, who had confidence in themselves, that they were righteous, and despised others:

The Pharisee, standing by himself, made this prayer: God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of mankind, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this tax-gatherer.

I say to you, Went this man down to his house justified, or the other? for every one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Then they brought him infants also, that he should touch them: but the disciples, when they saw it, rebuked them.

Then Jesus, observing that he was very sorrowful, said, How difficultly shall they who have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that there is no man who hath left family, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

And they told him, that Jesus the Nazarean is going by.

And they who were going before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!

saying, What wist thou that I should do for thee? Then he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

So running before, he climbed up a sycamore-tree, in order to get a sight of him: for he was about to pass that way.

And when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, That he is gone to lodge with a man, a notorious sinner.

Then said Jesus unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, because that he also is a son of Abraham.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

And as they were hearkening to these things, he proceeded on, and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they supposed that immediately the kingdom of God would openly appear.

And it came to pass, at his return, after receiving the kingdom, that he ordered the servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what every one had gained by his traffic.

And he said to him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

For I say unto you, That to every one who hath, shall more be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

But as for these enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them before me.

And if any man ask you, Why ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, That the Lord hath need of him.

And he replying said to them. I tell you that, should these be silent, the very stones would cry out.

saying, Oh that thou hadst known, even in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

and spake to him, saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things or who is he that giveth thee this authority?

But if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat, and sent him away empty.

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 our own.

And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him at that time; and were afraid of the people: for they knew 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.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and respectest no man's person, but teachest the way of God in truth:

Then certain of the Sadducees, who contend that there is no resurrection, asked him,

saying, Master, Moses wrote for us, If a man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed for his brother.

but they who are counted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses intimated at the bush, when he called the Lord, "the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."

And after that they durst not put another question to him.

Then he spake to them: How say they that the Messiah is the son of David?

And he said, Of a truth I tell you that this poor widow hath put in more than all they:

As for these things which ye are gazing upon, the days will come, in which one stone will not be left upon another, that shall not be utterly thrown down.

Then he said, Take heed that ye be not deluded: for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the period approaches: go not therefore after them.

But when ye see Jerusalem, encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it approaches.

when they now put forth, as soon as ye see it ye know in yourselves that the summer is now near:

so ye also, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall in nowise pass away, until all these things come to pass.

But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts should be overloaded with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the anxious cares of life, and that day should come upon you unawares.

For as a snare shall it come upon all that are settled on the face of the whole earth.

Watch therefore, praying at every proper opportunity, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are ready to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go, prepare for us the passover, that we may eat it.

And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it?

And say to the master of that family, The teacher saith to thee, Where is the dining-room, in which I can eat the passover with my disciples?

for I tell you, that I will no more ever eat of it, until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

for I say unto you, that I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God come.

But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me at the table.

And the Son of man indeed goeth, as is decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed!

Now it came to pass, that there was also a contention among them, even which of them should be accounted to be the greatest.

But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth.

For which is the greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that waits? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath earnestly sought you, that he might sift you as wheat:

but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and when thou art returned, stablish thy brethren.

Then said he to them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him also take a scrip: and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

For I tell you, that what hath already been written must be fulfilled in me, namely, "He was numbered with the transgressors:" for the things also concerning me draw to their period.

And when he came to the spot, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

And he said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise up, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

And the Lord, turning round, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, That before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

and blindfolding him, smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is he that struck thee?

Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Yourselves say that I am.

and began to accuse him, saying, We have found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar; pretending that he himself is the King Messiah.

And when he knew that he came out of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself at Jerusalem in those days.

But they were instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down.

Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted.

And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath's twilight was approaching.

saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Now there were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them, that told these things to the apostles.

But their eyes were under a restraint, that they might not discover him.

And he said unto them, What are these discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and bear such a face of dejection?

But we had entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third day since these things were done.

and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive.

And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

look upon my hands and my feet, that it is my very self: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures,

and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.

He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.

He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world.

John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.
