But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.

"It is too bad for you hypocritical experts in the law of Moses and [you] Pharisees! For you travel over land and sea [in hope of] making one person a proselyte [i.e., a convert to the Jewish religion]. And when you do convert one, you make him twice as deserving of hell as yourselves.

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

but if any man swear by the gold of the temple, the oath is binding. Foolish and blind creatures! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

The person, therefore, who takes an oath 'by the Altar,' [not only] swears by it, but [also] by everything on it.

And the person who takes an oath 'by the Temple,' [not only] swears by it, but [also] by Him [i.e., God] who lives there.

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

Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

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,

So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

You serpents and brood of vipers! How can you escape being sentenced to the Pit?

"For this reason I am sending to you Prophets and wise men and Scribes. Some of them you will put to death--nay, crucify; some of them you will flog in your synagogues and chase from town to town;

So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

But all these things are the beginning of travail.

“Then they will hand you over to [endure] tribulation, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;

If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And at that time the sign of the Son of Man [coming in His glory] will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth [and especially Israel] will mourn [regretting their rebellion and rejection of the Messiah], and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliance and splendor].

But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

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.

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his master has put in charge of his household to give the others [in the house] their food and supplies at the proper time?

Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;

and will cut him in two and put him with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger].

But five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

The foolish took their lamps, but took none oil with them.

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

But the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and slept.

But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

Then all those virgins got up and put their own lamps in order [trimmed the wicks and added oil and lit them].

But the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying - Lord! Lord! open unto us!

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

"For it is just like a man who was going on a journey, and called in his slaves, and put his property in their hands.

the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

And the man who had received the five thousand dollars came up bringing him five thousand more, and said, 'Sir, you put five thousand dollars in my hands; here I have made five thousand 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.’

And the man who had received the two thousand came up and said, 'Sir, you put two thousand dollars into my hands; here I have made two thousand 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.’

"But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said, "'Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed.

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

But 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 did not scatter;

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.

But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: *there* will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.

and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?

But when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

"But the King will answer them, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you rendered such services to one of the humblest of these my brethren, you rendered them to myself.'

For I was hungry but you never fed me, I was thirsty but you never gave me drink,

a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.

"But he will reply, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you withheld such services from one of the humblest of these, you withheld them from me.'

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill Him.

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,

There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

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

for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my burial she did it.

and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver.

But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he it is who shall deliver me up.

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

But Judas, the one betraying Him, responding said, Master, whether am I the one? He says to him, Thou hast said it.

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

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.

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

But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

But he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedaeus along with him; and when he began to feel distressed and agitated,

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

He went away once more, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled."

But Jesus said to him, My friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.

But one of those with Jesus drew his sword and struck the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels?
