He saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds.

(And they said to him, He hath ten pounds, Lord.)

I say to you, that to every one who hath, will be given; but from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

And he was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests, and the scribes, and the leading men of the people sought to destroy him.

And they could not find an opportunity of doing any thing; for all the people hung upon him, listening.

And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, that the priests and the scribes with the elders came upon him,

and spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? Or who is he that gave thee this authority?

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded.

And he sent still another servant; and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away emptyhanded.

And he went on to send a third; and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.

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

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

Every one who falleth upon that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falleth, it will grind him to powder.

And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour, but they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.

And they kept watch on him, and sent forth spies feigning themselves to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the civil power and to the authority of the governor.

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly.

Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and asked him,

Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

For they dared no longer to ask him any question.

David then calleth him lord; and how is he his son?

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when then will these things be? and what will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?

And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them.

And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

And he agreed with them, and sought a good opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude.

And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we make it ready?

And he said to them, Lo! when ye have entered the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goeth in;

And when the hour had come, he placed himself at table, and the apostles with him.

But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.

But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword.

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

And going out, he went, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him.

And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

While he was yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

But Jesus said to him, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and touched his ear, and healed him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs;

And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the highpriest. And Peter followed afar off.

But a certain maidservant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him.

And he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him.

And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

And in about one hours time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.

And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him;

and having blindfolded him, they asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

And many other things did they scoffingly say against him.

And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before their council, saying,

And the whole assemblage of them arose, and carried him before Pilate.

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

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering said to him, I am.

And on learning that he belonged to Herods jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.

Now Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.

And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer.

And the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing him.

And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.

said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him.

No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.

I will therefore chastise, and release him.

Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast.

But they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him!

And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him.

And he released him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And when they had led him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenaean, coming out of the country, and laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who were bewailing and lamenting him.

And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

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

And the people stood looking on; and the rulers sneered, saying, Others he saved; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the chosen one.

And the soldiers also came up to him and made sport of him, offering him vinegar,

There was also an inscription over him: "This is the king of the Jews."

And one of the crucified malefactors railed at him, saying, Art thou not the Christ? save thyself and us.

But the other answering said, rebuking him, Dost not thou fear God, since thou art in the same condemnation?

And he said to him, Truly do I say to thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

And all his acquaintances stood at a distance, and women that came with him from Galilee, beholding these things.

And the women also, who had come with him from Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

But their eyes were restrained from knowing him.

And one, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Art thou the only sojourner in Jerusalem that doth not know the things which have come to pass there in these days?

And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things relating to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in word and deed before God and all the people;

and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it to be as the women had said; but him they saw not.

But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to stay with them.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.

In him is life; and the life was the light of men.

He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

He came to his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God,to those who believed in his name;

John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.

No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
