Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.

And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

And, then, will he send forth the messengers, and they will gather together his chosen - out of the four winds, from utmost bound of earth, unto utmost bound of heaven.

Although the sky and the earth will pass away [See II Pet. 3:10], my words will not pass away [i.e., they will certainly come true].

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:

But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.

We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

And they grumbled at her. But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you bother her? It is a fine thing that she has done to me.

And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

And on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go [and] prepare, so that you can eat the Passover?"

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and ate,

And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.

They were sad, and said to him one by one, Is it I?

And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.

And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

But Peter said to him, "Even if they all fall away, certainly I will not!"

But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.

And again he came and saw them sleeping, because their eyes were very tired; and they had nothing to say in answer.

A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.

And immediately, as Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve apostles came with a crowd who were carrying swords and clubs. [They had come] from the leading priests, the experts in the law of Moses and the [Jewish] elders.

And they put their hands on him, and took him.

And they all went away from him in fear.

And a certain young man went after him, with only a linen cloth about his body; and they put their hands on him;

They seized him, but he left the linen sheet and fled away naked.

And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.

there were indeed several, who depos'd what was false against him: besides, what they deposed was insufficient.

Then the high priest arose in the midst and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What about this testimony they are giving against you?"

His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.

And they spit upon Him, and blind-folded Him, and then buffeted Him and said to Him, prophesy who it was: and the officers struck him with their rods.

And he denied it again. And anon after, they that stood by, said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art of Galilee, and thy speech agreeth thereto."

And straightaway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scholars and the whole council, having made a plan, after binding Jesus, they took him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done.

Behold how many things they witness against thee. But Jesus answered nothing any more, so that Pilate marvelled.

Now at each feast he customarily released for them one prisoner whom they requested.

For he was aware that the chief priests had turned Jesus over to him because of envy and resentment.

And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!

And Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.

And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!

And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.

And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.

And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.

And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.

And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.

And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.

And they put two thieves on crosses with him, one on his right side, and one on his left.

And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,

In the same way the high priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on mocking him to themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but himself he cannot save.

Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

And some of the bystanders, [when they] heard [it], said, "Behold, he is summoning Elijah!"

then one of the soldiers ran and dipp'd a spunge in vinegar, which he fastned to a stick, and offered him to drink. now let us, said they, see whether Elias will come to take him down.

When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him.

And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put.

And they were saying among themselves, Who will get the stone rolled away from the door for us?

And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size.

And when they went in, they saw a young man seated on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were full of wonder.

And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!

And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that ...

She went and gave news of it to those who had been with him, while they were sorrowing and weeping.

And they, when it came to their ears that he was living, and had been seen by her, had no belief in it.

And after these things he was seen in another form by two of them, while they were walking on their way into the country.

And they went away and gave news of it to the rest; and they had no belief in what was said.

And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.

And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;

They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.

And they went out, preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them, and giving witness to the word by the signs which came after. So be it.

As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word,

They were upright in the eyes of God, keeping all the rules and orders of God, and doing no wrong.

And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.

And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.

And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.

And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.

And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;

And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.

And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.

And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.

And they were all amazed. Then his voice and the use of his tongue were immediately restored, and he blessed God aloud.

and all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner child shall this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.

by acquainting his people how they may be saved by the remission of their sins,

(this tax was first levied when Cyrenius was governor of Syria) and they all went to be enrolled,

And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

And an angel of the Lord stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and {they were terribly frightened}.

And they came quickly, and saw Mary and Joseph, and the child in the place where the cattle had their food.

And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child.

And all they that heard it, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean.

Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.

Eight days later it was time to circumcise Jesus [i.e., to perform the Jewish rite of identity, signifying the responsibility to observe the law of Moses], and they named Him Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before He was [even] conceived.

And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord

They came to offer a sacrifice of two doves or two young pigeons, in accordance with what is written in the law of Moses.

And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus so that they could do for him according to what was customary under the law,

And when they had done all the things which were ordered by the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to Nazareth, the town where they were living.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up, as their way was, to the feast;
