For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and been given unto the poor." And they grudged against her.

She hath done that she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body to his buryingward.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her."

When they heard that, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money. And he sought, how he might conveniently betray him.

And the first day of sweet bread, when men offer the paschal lamb, his disciples said unto him, "Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Easter lamb?"

And as they sat at board and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me."

The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born."

Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of this fruit of the vine, until that day that I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God."

But after that I am risen again I will go into Galilee before you."

And he went forth a little and fell down on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

And he said, "Abba father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that thou wilt be done."

Rise up, let us go. Lo: he that betrayeth me is at hand."

And he that betrayed him had given them a general token, saying, "Whosoever I do kiss, he it is, take him, and lead him away warily."

And one of them that stood by drew out a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but that the scriptures should be fulfilled."

And there was a certain young man that followed him clothed in linen upon the bare, and the young men caught him,

And the highest priest stood up amongst them all, and asked Jesus saying, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?"

Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death.

And a damsel saw him, and again began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

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 again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

Jesus yet answered never a word, so that Pilate marveled.

At that feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire.

And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them, that made insurrection: and in the insurrection, committed murder.

Pilate answered them, and said, "Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?"

For he knew that the high priests had delivered him of envy.

But the high priests had moved the people that he should, rather, deliver Barabbas unto them.

And Pilate answered again, and said unto them, "What will ye then that I do with him, whom ye call the King of the Jews?"

And they compelled one that passed by, called Simon of Cyrene, which came out of the field, and was father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

And they that went by, railed on him: wagging their heads, and saying, "A wretch, that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days.

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

And some of them that stood by when they heard that said, "Behold, he calleth for Elijah."

And when the centurion which stood before him saw that he so cried and gave up the ghost, he said, "Truly this man was the son of God."

And now when night was come, because it was the even that goeth before the Sabbath,

And Pilate marveled that he was already dead, and called unto him the centurion, and asked of him whether he had been any while dead.

And he bought a linen cloth, and took him down and wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb, that was hewn out of the rock. And rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

And when the Sabbath day was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary Joseph, and Salome, bought ointments, that they might come and anoint him.

But go your way, and tell his disciples, and namely Peter, that he will go before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you."

And she went, and told them that were with him, as they mourned and wept.

And though they heard that he was alive, and he had appeared to her: they believed it not.

After that, he appeared unto two of them in a strange figure, as they walked and went into the country.

After that he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat: and cast in their teeth their unbelief, and hardness of heart: because they believed not them which had seen him after his resurrection.

He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved: But he that believeth not, shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils, and shall speak with new tongues,

And they went forth, and preached everywhere. And the Lord wrought with them; And confirmed the word with miracles that followed.

I determined also, as soon as I had searched out diligently all things from the beginning, that then I would write unto thee, good Theophilus,

that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, whereof thou art informed.

Both were perfect before God, and walked in all the laws and ordinances of the Lord, that no man could find fault with them.

And they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren; And both were well stricken in age.

And Zacharias said unto the angel, "Whereby shall I know this? Seeing that I am old, and my wife well stricken in years."

And the angel answered, and said unto him, "I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speak unto thee: and to show thee these glad tidings.

And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak until the time that these things be performed, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season."

And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried in the temple.

And when he came out, he could not speak unto them. Whereby they perceived, that he had seen some vision in the temple. And he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

"This wise hath God dealt with me, in the days when he looked on me, to take from me the rebuke that I suffered among men."

When she saw him, she was abashed at his saying: and cast in her mind what manner of salutation that should be.

And the angel answered, and said unto her, "The holy ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born, shall be called the son of God.

And whence happeneth this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

And blessed art thou that believedst: For those things shall be performed which were told thee from the Lord."

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy is his name.

And his mercy is always on them that fear him, throughout all generations.

He showeth strength with his arm, he scattereth them that are proud in the imagination of their hearts.

Elizabeth's time was come that she should be delivered; And she brought forth a son.

And they said unto her, "There is none of thy kin that is named with this name."

And fear came on all them that dwelt nigh unto them: And all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Jewry:

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.

That we should be saved from our enemies: And from the hands of all that hate us:

That we, delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear:

all the days of our life, in such holiness and righteousness that are accept before him.

To give light to them that sat in darkness, and in shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace."

And it chanced, in those days, that there went out a commandment from Augustus the Emperor, that all the world should be taxed.

And it fortuned while they were there, her time was come that she should be delivered.

But the angel said unto them, "Be not afraid: For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, that shall come to all the people:

And it fortuned, as soon as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is happened, which the Lord hath showed unto us."

And when they had seen it, they published abroad the saying, which was told them of that child.

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

And the shepherds returned, praising and lauding God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was told unto them.

And when the eighth day was come that the child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was named of the angel before he was conceived in the mother's womb.

As it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every man child that first openeth the matrix, shall be called holy to the Lord":

And an answer was given him of the holy ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

And moreover, the sword shall pierce thy soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be opened."

And the same came forth that same hour, and praised the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

And it fortuned, after three days, that they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors: both hearing them, and posing them.

And all that heard him marveled at his wit and answers.

And he said unto them, "How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must go about my father's business?"

And they understood not the saying that he spake to them.

Then said he to the people that were come to be baptised of him, "O generation of vipers: who hath taught you to fly away from the wrath to come?

Now also is the axe laid unto the root of the trees: So that every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire."

He answered and said unto them, "He that hath two coats, let him part with him that hath none: And he that hath meat, let him do likewise."

And he said unto them, "Require no more than that which is appointed unto you."

John answered and said to them all, "I baptise you with water, but a stronger than I cometh after me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptise you with the holy ghost, and with fire,

which hath his fan in his hand, and will purge his floor, and will gather the corn into his barn: But the chaff will he burn with fire that never shall be quenched."

And it fortuned, as all the people received baptism - And when Jesus was baptised and did pray - that heaven was opened,

And the devil said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, command this stone that it be bread."

And the devil said unto him, "All this power will I give thee every whit, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whosoever I will I give it:

and with their hands they shall stay thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

"The spirit of the Lord upon me, because he hath anointed me; To preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me; And to heal which are broken hearted: To preach deliverance to the captive; And sight to the blind; And freely to set at liberty them that are bruised;

And he closed the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all that were in the synagogue, were fastened on him.

And unto none of them was Elijah sent, save into Zarephath besides Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

And as many as were in the synagogue when they heard that, were filled with wrath
