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.

Verily I say unto you, all these things shall light upon this generation.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray.

You will hear of wars and rumors of war; do not let yourselves be alarmed. They have to come, but that is not the end.

And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,

And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun 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 He will send His angels with a loud trumpet and they will gather together His elect (God’s chosen ones) from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Let the fig tree teach you a parable. As soon as its branches turn soft and put out leaves, you know summer is at hand;

Then two men will be in the field; one is taken, and one let go;

Two women will be crushing grain; one is taken, and one let go.

"Then the kingdom of heaven will be similar to ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the [bride and] groom. [Note: The picture here is that of a newly married couple returning from a festive reception to the groom's home where they continued celebrating and were welcomed by a late evening wedding party]

Since the groom was late, all of them became sleepy and lay down.

But at midnight there is a loud cry, "'The bridegroom! Go out and meet him!'

After that the other virgins came, saying, Lord, Lord, let us in.

Lord, Lord, pray let us in. but he answered, I assure you, I know you not.

And after I be raised, I will lead before you into Galilee.

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.

Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.

Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

And he sitting on his tribunal, his wife sent to him, saying, Let there be nothing to thee and that just man: for this day I suffered many things in a dream on account of Him.

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.

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. Then Pilate, seeing, that he could prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just man: see ye to it.

And all the people answered, “Let [the responsibility for] His blood be on us and on our children!”

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

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'

His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:

he is not here: he is risen according to his word: come, see the place where the Lord was laid.

and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, 'Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said to them, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table?

For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging him to let him go with him.

But He would not let him; instead, He told him, “Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”
