the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,

But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.

In like manner he also that received the two gained other two.

But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.

And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.

And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;

But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;

Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

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

and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them.

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

and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

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

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

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.

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

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

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 they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

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.

saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid'saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of them; for thy speech maketh thee known.

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it .

Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price;

And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

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

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

Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

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

So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye to it .

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

And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

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

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.

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.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified.

Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.

And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

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

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.

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.

And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;

And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them , no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),

And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

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

No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made.

And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.

And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?

How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?

so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.

And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth.

And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:

for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.

And he charged them much that they should not make him known.

And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons.

And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

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 when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.

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:
