Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.

And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;

On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,

But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for ye do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and when he is become such, ye make him twofold more the son of hell than yourselves.

And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.

He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.

And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.

And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.

Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean.

So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:

so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord.

And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.

But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all these things must take place, but it is not yet the end.

but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in what is a holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)

let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:

But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but my Father alone.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through into.

Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.

Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.

Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.

But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,

Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.

They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;

But the prudent answered saying, We cannot, lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.

But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.

In like manner also he that had received the two, he also gained two others.

But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.

And he that had received the five talents came to him and brought five other talents, saying, My lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.

And he also that had received the two talents came to him and said, My lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,

and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which 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;

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:

for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;

but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.

Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.

Now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he it is who shall deliver me up.

The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

For this is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins.

But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.

But after that I shall be risen, I will go before you to Galilee.

Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh weak.

Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

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

Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

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

Now they that had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if thou art the Christ the Son of God.

And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.

Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

saying, I have sinned in having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.

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 he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.

And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see ye to it.

Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged him, he delivered up that he might be crucified.

And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go with them that he might bear his cross.

and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.

but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.

saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.

And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.

And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.

Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall 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.

saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him while we were sleeping.

And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.
