"Teacher, Moses said, "If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for his brother.'

Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first died [after] getting married, and [because he] did not have descendants, he left his wife to his brother.

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

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.

"'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I have put thy foes beneath thy feet'?

saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:

They tie up heavy loads and have them put on men's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them.

They do everything they do to have men see it. They wear wide Scripture texts as charms, and they wear large tassels,

They love to have the places of honor at festivals, the best seats in the synagogues,

and to be greeted [with respect] in the market places and public forums, and to have people call them Rabbi.

But do not be called Rabbi (Teacher); for One is your Teacher, and you are all [equally] brothers.

Do not call anyone on earth [who guides you spiritually] your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

Do not let yourselves be called leaders or teachers; for One is your Leader (Teacher), the Christ.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which look beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.

It is the same with you. Outwardly, and to others, you have the look of religious men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and sin.

And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

and you have filled up the measure of your fathers.

Verily, I say unto you - All these things, will have come, upon this generation.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

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.

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

And because iniquity shall have the upper hand, the love of many shall abate.

And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth, for a witness unto all the nations, - and, then, will have come, the end.

"When you have seen (to use the language of the Prophet Daniel)

And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

And pray that it will not be in the winter or on a Sabbath day when you will have to flee [from the city]. [Note: Jewish Sabbath day restrictions on travel (only three-fifths of a mile) and city gate closures would make leaving the city nearly impossible].

And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Behold, I have told you before.

And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer is nigh,

Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.

'Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come;

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

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

The master of that servant, will have come, on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not observing, -

And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.

and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.

'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.’

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.’

“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.

So I was afraid [to lose the talent], and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is your own.’

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 have not strawed:

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

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

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:

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

[when] I came [to you as] a stranger, you did not give me a place to stay; [when I] did not have adequate clothing, you did not give me anything to wear; when I was sick, or in prison, you did not visit me.'

Then shall they also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?

Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.

'Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.'

and took counsel together to get hold of Jesus by craft and have him put to death.

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, and said, where would you have us make the preparations for the paschal-supper?

The Son of Man is to go [to the cross], just as it is written [in Scripture] of Him; but woe (judgment is coming) to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”

And Judas, the betrayer, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself.”

Then Jesus said [to His disciples], "All of you will have doubts about me tonight, for it is written [Zech. 13:7], 'I will strike down the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered everywhere.'

But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

“Even if I have to die with You,” Peter told Him, “I will never deny You!” And all the disciples said the same thing.

And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?

And Jesus said to him, "Friend, [do that] for which you have come." Then they came up [and] laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.

Or, do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father and He will immediately send me more than twelve legions of angels [i.e., Jesus could have called about 72,000 angels to minister to Him. See Matt. 4:11]?

At that moment Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Day after day I used to sit in the porches and courts of the temple teaching, and you did not arrest Me.

Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death.

The high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Have You no answer to give? What is it that these men are testifying against You?”

Jesus said to him, “You have [in fact] said it; but more than that I tell you [regardless of what you do with Me now], in the future you will see [Me revealed as] the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

And he denied before all, saying, 'I have not known what thou sayest.'

and again did he deny with an oath -- 'I have not known the man.'

Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- 'I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

When morning came, all the high priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to have him put to death.

Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

Now Jesus stood before [Pilate] the governor, and the governor asked Him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” [In affirmation] Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”

So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.

the governor therefore having asked, which of the two would you have me release? they said, Barabbas.

Pilate said, "Then what am I to do with Jesus the so-called 'Christ'?" They all said, "Have him crucified!"

"Why," said the governor, "what has he done wrong?" But they shouted on more fiercely than ever, "Have him crucified!"

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 trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

The Roman Captain, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed: "This must indeed have been God's Son!"

He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.

Therefore, give orders to have the tomb made secure and safeguarded until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception [the reporting of His resurrection] will be worse than the first [the reporting that He is the Messiah].”

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

And the messenger answering said to the women, 'Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Lo, I have told you. And departing quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy they ran to tell his disciples.

Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.
