Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly].

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said.

and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.

He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. 'They will respect my son,' he said.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."

They came and said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and have no personal bias toward anyone; for You are not influenced by outward appearances or social status, but in truth You teach the way of God. Is it lawful [according to Jewish law and tradition] to pay the poll-tax to [Tiberius] Caesar, or not?

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

or, to the people (See Luke 20:9)] by using parables. He said, "A man planted a vineyard and built a fence around it. He dug a place for constructing a grape squeezing device, built a [lookout] tower [near it], then leased it out to tenant farmers and went to another country.

"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

But concerning the raising of the dead, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:

As He was coming out of the temple [grounds], one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!”

And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

We might have got more than three hundred pence for it, and given the money to the poor. And they said things against her among themselves.

And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away [and be ashamed and be afraid to be associated with Me as disciples], because it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

And Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

Then they went to a place called Gethsemane; and Jesus said to His disciples, “Sit down here until I have prayed.”

but he took with him Peter, James, and John. then he began to be in a great consternation and anguish of mind. and he said to them; my soul is exceeding sorrowful,

And He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved and overwhelmed with sorrow, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Were you unable to keep watch for one hour?

Watch and pray," he said to them all, "that you may not fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak."

And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.

He came back a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough [of that]! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

His betrayer had given them a signal. “The One I kiss,” he said, “He’s the One; arrest Him and take Him away under guard.”

When Judas came, immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi (Master)!” and he kissed Him [forcefully].

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Then tearing his robe [to express his indignation], the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.

And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.

And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

But he denied it, and said, "I don't know--I don't understand--What do you mean?" And then he went out into the outer court. Just then a cock crowed.

And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.

And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.

And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

And the chief priests said a number of things against him.

"Do you make no answer?" he said,

And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

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

And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!

Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!

And the scripture was fulfilled, which said, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

And all the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him and said, "Ah! you who were for destroying the Sanctuary and building a new one in three days,

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

Going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on their right, in a white robe, and they were dismayed; But he said to them:

And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See, [here is] the place where they laid Him.

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

And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

And they went away and gave news of it to the rest; and they had no belief in what was said.

And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.
