For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.

For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even to the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered.

And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the heaven with power and great glory.

So you, likewise, when you see all these things, shall know that it is near, at the doors.

Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass until all these things are fulfilled.

And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Truly I say to you that He shall make him ruler over all His goods.

The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them.

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And they who were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.

For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will abound. But from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.

But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His glory.

And all nations shall be gathered before Him. And He shall separate them from one another, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats.

Then they will also answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?

And it happened when Jesus finished all these sayings, He said to His disciples,

Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, that which this woman has done shall be spoken of also, for a memorial of her.

And he said to them, What will you give me, and I will betray Him to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master said, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.

And as they ate, He said, Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.

And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink all of it.

But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.

Then Jesus said to them, All of you will be offended because of Me this night. For it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad."

But after I have risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

Peter answered and said to Him, though all shall be offended because of You, I will never be offended.

Peter said to Him, though I should die with You, yet I will not deny You. All the disciples also said the same.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, Sit here while I go and pray there.

And He went a little further and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.

He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.

Then Jesus said to him, Put up your sword again into its place; for all who take the sword shall perish with a sword.

But all this happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, forsaking Him.

And the chief priests and the elders and all the sanhedrin sought false witness against Jesus, in order to put Him to death.

But he denied all before them, saying, I do not know what you say.

And after a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you.

And it becoming early morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death.

Pilate said to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all said to him, Let Him be crucified.

Then all the people answered and said, Let His blood be on us and on our children.

He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.)

And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?

The rest said, Let Him alone, let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him.

saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was living, After three days I will rise again.

Then command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away and say to the people, He has risen from the dead. So the last error will be worse than the first.

Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid; go tell My brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.

And as they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and declared all the things that were done to the chief priests.

saying, Say that His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we slept.

And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and make you free from care.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.

Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen.

And all the land of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

And there came a voice from Heaven, saying, You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

And Jesus said to them, Come after Me and I will make you fishers of men.

They all were amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What new doctrine is this? For He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him.

And immediately His fame went out into all the Galilean neighborhood.

And at evening, when the sun set, they brought all those who were diseased to Him, and those who had been demon-possessed.

And all the city had gathered at the door.

And He healed many who were sick of different diseases, and cast out many demons. And He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

And finding Him, they said to Him, All are seeking You.

And He proclaimed in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.

And a leper came to Him, begging Him and kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him, If You will, You can make me clean.

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I will; be clean!

And immediately he arose and took up his cot and went out before all. So that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw it this way.

And He went out again by the seaside. And all the crowd came to Him, and He taught them.

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.

No one puts new wine into old wineskins, else the new wine bursts the wineskins, and the wine spills, and the wineskins will be ruined. The new wine must be put into new wineskins.

And looking around on them with anger, being grieved because of the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he stretched it out. And his hand was restored whole, like the other.

No one can enter into a strong one's house and plunder his goods, except he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which they shall blaspheme.

For whoever does the will of God, the same is My brother and My sister and My mother.

And He began again to teach by the seaside. And there was a great crowd gathered to Him, so that He entered into a boat and sat in the sea. And the whole crowd was on the land by the seaside.

And He said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those outside, all these things are given in parables

And He said to them, Do you not know this parable? And how then will you know all parables?

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.

But when it has been sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches, so as to enable the birds of the air to roost under its shade.

But he did not speak to them without a parable. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

And all the demons begged Him, saying, Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.

However Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and has had mercy on you.

And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all marvelled.

and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and had not been bettered any, but rather came to worse,

For she said, If I may but touch only His clothes, I will be cured.

But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before Him and told Him all the truth.

And He said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be whole from your plague.

While He still spoke, they came from the synagogue ruler's house, saying, Your daughter is dead; why do you still trouble the Teacher?

And they laughed at Him. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and went in where the child was lying.

And they cast out many demons, and anointed many who were sick with oil, and healed them.

And king Herod heard of Him (for His name had become well-known,) and he said that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead, and therefore mighty works operate in him.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and pleased Herod, and those who reclined with him, the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you desire from me, and I will give it to you.

And he swore to her, Whatever you shall ask from me, I will give it to you, to the half of my kingdom.

And the apostles gathered themselves to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

And He commanded them all to recline, group by group, on the green grass.

And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to Heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them. And He divided the two fish to all.

And they all ate and were filled.
