Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to get workers into his vine-garden.

And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?

See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

And Jesus, stopping, sent for them, and said, What would you have me do to you?

And he went away from them, and went out of the town to Bethany, and was there for the night.

Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.

And seeing a fig-tree by the wayside, he came to it, and saw nothing on it but leaves only; and he said to it, Let there be no fruit from you from this time forward for ever. And straight away the fig-tree became dry and dead.

And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.

But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;

For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.

But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,

But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.

But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,

For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;

For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.

And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;

And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.

And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Be watching, then! for you have no knowledge on what day your Lord will come.

Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

For the foolish, when they took their lights, took no oil with them.

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lights are going out.

But the wise made answer, saying, There may not be enough for us and you; it would be better for you to go to the traders and get oil for yourselves.

For it is as when a man, about to take a journey, got his servants together, and gave them his property.

And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

And I was in fear, and went away, and put your talent in the earth: here is what is yours.

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;

Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:

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

For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.

For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.

Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.

Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord.

Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.
