And seeing them he said to them, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass as they were going they were cleansed.

And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

nor shall they say, Lo here, or, Lo there; for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

For as the lightning shines which lightens from one end under heaven to the other end under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.

And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man:

and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

after this manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?

The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

But Jesus calling them to him said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.

Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.

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.

for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this man should reign over us.

And he said to him, Well done, thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

And another came, saying, My Lord, lo, there is thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.

And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.

And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,

And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,

saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.

And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,

and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?

but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.

And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him,

demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?

but he is not God of the dead but of the living; for all live for him.

And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,

until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet?

David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?

And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.

And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,

As to these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.

And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what is the sign when these things are going to take place?

And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he, and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not therefore after them.

And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.

And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.

But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.

men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, on looking at them, that already the summer is near.

So also ye, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.

Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.

The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.

Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the passover, drew nigh,

And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

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

And he said to them, Behold, as ye enter into the city a man will meet you, carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in;

and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

And having gone they found it as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table;

and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

But ye shall not be thus; but let the greater among you be as the younger, and the leader as he that serves.

For which is greater, he that is at table or he that serves? Is not he that is at table? But I am in the midst of you as the one that serves.

And I appoint unto you, as my Father has appointed unto me, a kingdom,

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, to sift you as wheat;

for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.

As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this man also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not at all believe;

And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people to rebellion, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this man and release Barabbas to us;

And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also with them sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

And there was also an inscription written over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: 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 it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.

And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,

And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.

And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;

but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.

And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?
