When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified saying, "Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."


and looked up to heaven and sighted, and said unto him, "Ephphatha," that is to say, "Be opened."

and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."


When Jesus saw her weep, and the Jews also weep, which came with her; He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled in himself,







And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."


And as he sat upon the mount Olivet, his disciples came unto him secretly, saying, "Tell us, when these things shall be: and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you; For many shall come in my name saying, 'I am Christ': and shall deceive many. read more.
Ye shall hear of wars, and of the fame of wars, but see that ye be not troubled, for all must come to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm: and there shall be pestilence, and hunger, and earthquakes in all quarters. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake: And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one the other. And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall have the upper hand, the love of many shall abate. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be safe. And this glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come. When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination that betokeneth desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place: let him that readeth it, understand it: Then let them which be in Jewry fly into the mountains. And let him which is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house. Neither let him which is in the field, return back to fetch his clothes. Woe shall be in those days to them that are with child, and to them that give suck. But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be. Yea, and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: But for the chosens' sake, those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, 'Lo, here is Christ,' or 'There is Christ': believe it not: for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets and shall do great miracles and wonders. Insomuch that if it were possible, even the very elect should be deceived. Take heed: I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 'Behold, he is in the desert,' go not forth: 'Lo, he is in the secret places,' believe not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west: so shall the coming of the son of man be. For wheresoever a dead carcass is, even thither will the eagles resort. Immediately after the tribulations 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 heaven shall move. And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other. "Learn a similitude of the fig tree: when his branches are yet tender, and his leaves sprung, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, be ye sure that it is near; even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.


And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes.









And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, "Thou son of man, turn thy face toward Gog in the land of Magog, which is the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: prophesy against him, and say, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: O Gog thou chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: behold, I will upon thee, read more.
and will turn thee about, and put a bit in thy jaws. I will bring thee forth and all thine host, both horse and horsemen, which be all weaponed of the best fashion; a great people, that handle all together spears, shields, and swords: The Persians, Ethiopians, and with them the Libyans which all bear shields and helmets: Gomer and all his hosts: the house of Thogorma out of the north quarters, and all his hosts, yea and much people with thee. Therefore prepare thee; set thyself in array with all thy people that are come unto thee by heaps, and be thou their defense. After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter years thou shalt come into the land, that hath been destroyed with the sword, and now is replenished again with divers people upon the mountains of Israel, which have long lain waste. Yea, they be brought out of the nations, and dwell all safe. Thou shalt come up like a stormy weather to cover the land, and as it were a dark cloud: thou with all thine hosts, and a great multitude of people with thee. Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: At the same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief, and say, 'I will up to yonder plain land, seeing they sit at ease, and dwell so safely - for they dwell all without any walls, they have neither bars nor doors - to spoil them, to rob them, to lay hand upon their so well inhabited wildernesses: against that people, that is gathered together from among the Heathen, which have gotten cattle and good, and dwell in the midst of the land.' Then shall Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish with all their worthies, say unto thee, 'Art thou come to rob? Hast thou gathered thy people together, because thou wilt spoil? To take silver and gold; to carry away cattle and goods; and to have a great prey?' "Therefore, O thou son of man, thou shalt prophesy, and say unto Gog, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: In that day thou shalt know, that my people of Israel dwelleth safe: and shalt come from thy place out of the north parts: thou and much people with thee, which ride upon horses, whereof there is a great multitude and an innumerable sortie. Yea, thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know me, when I get me honour upon thee; O Gog, before their eyes. Thus sayeth the LORD God: Thou art he, of whom I have spoken afore time by my servants the prophets of Israel; which prophesied, in those days and years, that I should bring thee upon them. At the same time, when Gog cometh up into the land of Israel, sayeth the LORD God, shall my indignation go forth in my wrath. For in my jealousy and hot displeasure I have devised that there shall be a great trouble in the land of Israel at that time. The very fishes in the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, and all the men that are upon the earth shall tremble for fear of me. The hills also shall be turned upside down, the stairs of stone shall fall, and all walls shall sink to the ground: I will call for a sword upon them in all my mountains, sayeth the LORD God: so that every man's sword shall be upon another. With pestilence and blood will I punish him: stormy rain and hail stones, fire and brimstone, will I cause to rain upon him and all his heap, yea and upon all that great people that is with him. Thus will I be magnified, honored, and known among the Heathen: that they may be sure how that I am the LORD.'"

Therefore, O thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and speak, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, O Gog: thou chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, I will upon thee, and turn thee about, and carry thee forth, and lead thee from the north parts, and bring thee up to the mountains of Israel. As for thy bow, I will smite it out of thy left hand, and cast thine arrows out of thy righthand. read more.
Thou with all thine heap, and all the people that is with thee, must fall upon the mountains of Israel. Then will I give thee unto the fouls and wild beasts of the field, to be devoured. There must thou lie upon the field: for even I the LORD have spoken it, sayeth the LORD God. Into Magog, and among those that sit so carelessly in the isles, will I send a fire, and they shall know, that I am the LORD. I will make also the name of my holiness to be known among my people of Israel: and I will not let my holy name be evil spoken of any more: but the very Heathen also shall know that I am the LORD, the holy one of Israel. "'Behold, it cometh, and shall be fulfilled indeed, sayeth the LORD God: This is the day whereof I have spoken. They that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall go forth and set fire upon the weapons, and burn them: shields and spears, bows and arrows, bills and clubs: seven years shall they be burning thereof, so that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, sayeth the LORD God. At the same time will I give unto Gog a place to be buried in, in Israel: even the valley, wherethrough men go from the east to the seaward: Those that travel thereby, shall abhor it. There shall Gog and all his people be buried: and it shall be called the valley of the people of Gog. Seven months long shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them. O it shall be a glorious day, when I get me that honour, sayeth the LORD God. They shall ordain men also to be dead buriers, ever going through the land, and appoint them certain places to bury those in which remain upon the field - that the land may be cleansed. From end to end shall they seek; and that seven months long. Now those that go through the land where they see a man's bone, they shall set up a token by it, till the dead buriers have buried it also, in the valley of the people of Gog. And the name of the city shall be called, Hamonah. Thus shall they make the land clean.' And thou son of man: thus sayeth the LORD God: Speak unto all the fouls and every bird, yea and to all the wild beasts of the field, 'Heap you together and come; gather you round about upon my slaughter that I have slain for you: even a great slaughter upon the mountains of Israel: eat flesh and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the worthies, and drink the blood of the princes of the land: of the wethers, of the lambs, of the goats, and of the oxen that be all slain at Bashan. Eat the fat your belly full, and drink blood till ye be drunken of the slaughter, which I have slain unto you. Fill you at my table, with horses and strong horsemen: with captains and all men of war, sayeth the LORD God.' I will bring my glory also among the Gentiles, that all the Heathen may see my judgment that I have kept, and my hand which I have laid upon them: that the house of Israel may know how that I am the LORD their God, from that day forth. "And the Heathen shall know, that whereas the house of Israel were led into captivity: it was for their wickedness' sake, because they offended me. For the which cause I hid my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, that they might all be slain with the sword. According to their uncleanness and unfaithful dealings, so have I entreated them, and hid my face from them.

For take heed: in those days and at the same time, when I turn again the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem, I shall gather all people together, and bring them into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And there will I reason with them: because of my people and heritage of Israel; whom they have scattered about in the nations, and parted my land. Yea, they have cast lots for my people, the young men have they set in the brothel house, and sold the damsels for wine, that they might have to drink. read more.
Thou Tyre and Sidon and all the borders of the Philistines: what have ye to do with me? Will ye defy me? Well, if ye will needs defy me, I shall recompense you, even upon your head, and that right shortly: for ye have taken away my silver and gold, my fair and goodly jewels, and brought them into your gods' houses. The children also of Judah and Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Greeks, that ye might bring them the far from the borders of their own countries. Behold, therefore, I will raise them out of the place, where ye have sold them, and will reward you even upon your head. Your sons and your daughters will I sell through the hands of the children of Judah, and so they shall give them forth to sell, unto them of Sheba, a people of a far country: for the LORD himself hath said it. Cry out these things among the Gentiles, proclaim war; wake up the giants, let them draw nigh; let them come up, all the lusty warriors of them. Make you swords of your plowshares, and spears of your sickles and scythes. Let the weak man say, "I am strong." Muster you, and come, all ye Heathen round about. Gather you together, there shall the LORD lay all thy giants to the ground. Let the people arise, and get them to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit, and judge all Heathen round about. Lay to your scythes, for the harvest is ripe. Come, get you down: the winepress is full, yea the winepresses run over, for their wickedness is waxen great. In the valley appointed, there shall be many, many people: for the day of the LORD is nigh in the valley appointed. The sun and moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light. The LORD shall roar out of Zion, a cry out of Jerusalem; that the heavens and the earth shall quake withal. But the LORD shall be a defense to his own people, and a refuge for the children of Israel.

The heavy burden which the LORD hath devised for Israel. Thus sayeth the LORD, which spread the heavens abroad, laid the foundation of the earth, and giveth man the breath of life, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of surfeit, unto all the people that are round about her: Yea Judah himself also shall be in the siege against Jerusalem. At the same time will I make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all people, so that all such as lift it up, shall be torn and rent, and all the people of the earth shall be gathered together against it. read more.
In that day, sayeth the LORD, I will make all horses abashed, and those that ride upon them to be out of their wits. I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and smite all the horses of the people with blindness. And the princes of Judah shall say in their hearts, 'The inhabiters of Jerusalem shall give me consolation in the LORD of Hosts their God.' In that time will I make the princes of Judah like a hot burning oven with wood, and like a cresset of fire among the straw: so that they shall consume all the people round about them, both upon the righthand and the left. Jerusalem also shall be inhabited again: namely, in the same place where Jerusalem standeth. The LORD shall preserve the tents of Judah, like as afore time: so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the citizens of Jerusalem, shall be but little regarded in comparison of the glory of Judah. In that day shall the LORD defend the citizens of Jerusalem: so that the weakest then among them shall be as David: and the house of David shall be like as God's house, and as the Angel of the LORD before them. "At the same time will I go about to destroy all such people as come against Jerusalem. Moreover, upon the house of David and upon the citizens of Jerusalem, will I pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, so that they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall beweep him, as men mourn for their only begotten son: Yea, and be sorry for him, as men are sorry for their first child

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, that thou shalt be spoiled and robbed. For I will gather together all the Heathen, to fight against Jerusalem: so that the city shall be won, the houses spoiled, and the women defiled. The half of the city shall go away into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be carried out of the city. fter that shall the LORD go forth, to fight against those Heathen, as men used to fight in the day of battle. read more.
Then shall his feet stand upon the mount Olivet, that lieth upon the east side of Jerusalem. And the mount Olivet shall cleave in two, eastward and westward, so that there shall be a great valley: and the half mount shall remove toward the north, and the other half toward the south. And ye shall flee unto the valley of my hills, for the valley of the hills shall reach unto Asia. Yea, flee shall ye, like as ye fled for the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the LORD my God shall come, and all saints with him. In that day shall it not be light, but cold and frost. This shall be that special day which is known unto the LORD: neither day nor night, but about the evening time it shall be light. In that time shall there waters of life run out from Jerusalem: the half part of them toward the east sea, and the other half toward the utmost sea, and shall continue both summer and winter. And the LORD himself shall be king over all the earth. At that time shall there be one LORD only, and his name shall be but one. Men shall go about the whole earth, as upon a field: from Geba to Rimmon, and from the south to Jerusalem. She shall be set up, and inhabited in her place: from Benjamin's port, unto the place of the first port, and unto the corner port: and from the tower of Hananel, unto the king's wine presses. There shall men dwell, and there shall be no more cursing: but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. This shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite all people, that have fought against Jerusalem: Namely, their flesh shall consume away, though they stand upon their feet; their eyes shall be corrupt in their holes, and their tongue shall consume in their mouth. In that day shall the LORD make a great sedition among them, so that one man shall take another by the hand, and lay his hands upon the hands of his neighbour.

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side; read more.
And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."

"And when ye see Jerusalem besieged with a host, then understand that the desolation of the same is nigh. Then let them which are in Jewry fly to the mountains. And let them which are in the midst of it, depart out. And let not them that are in other countries, come therein. For these be the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that are written. read more.
But woe be to them that be with child, and to them that give suck in those days, for there shall be great trouble in the land: and wrath over all this people. And they shall fall on the edge of the sword. And they shall be led captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden underfoot of the gentiles, until the time of the gentiles be fulfilled.

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, that the ways of the kings of the east should be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty. read more.
"Behold I come as a thief. Happy is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments; Lest he be found naked, and men see his filthiness." And he gathered them together into a place called, in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, "It is done." And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. And the great city was divided into the three parts; And the cities of nations fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell a great hail, as it had been talents, out of heaven upon the men; and the men blasphemed God, because of the plague of the hail, for it was great and the plague of it sore.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; whose number is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them: read more.
and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.


"As it happened in the time of Noah, so shall it be in the time of the son of man. They ate, they drank, they married wives and were married even unto the same day that Noah went into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also, as it chanced, in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. read more.
And even the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. "After these examples, shall it be in the day when the son of man shall appear. At that day, he that is on the housetop, and his stuff in the house: let him not come down to take it out. And likewise let not him that is in the fields, turn back again to that he left behind. Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever will go about to save his life, shall lose it: And whosoever shall lose his life, shall save it. I tell you, In that night, there shall be two in one bed: that one shall be received, and the other shall be forsaken. Two shall be also a grinding together: the one shall be received, and the other forsaken." And they answered, and said to him, "Where Lord?" And he said unto them, "Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles resort."

When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination that betokeneth desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place: let him that readeth it, understand it:

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side; read more.

But woe be to them that be with child, and to them that give suck in those days, for there shall be great trouble in the land: and wrath over all this people. And they shall fall on the edge of the sword. And they shall be led captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden underfoot of the gentiles, until the time of the gentiles be fulfilled.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children together, as the hen gathereth her chicks under her wings? But ye would not. Behold, Your habitation shall be left unto you desolate.

Moreover, when ye see the abomination that betokeneth desolation, whereof is spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand where it ought not" - let him that readeth understand it - "then let them that be in Jewry, flee to the mountains. And let him that is on the housetop, not descend down into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch anything out of his house. And let him that is in the field, not turn back again unto those things which he left behind him, for to take his clothes with him. read more.
But woe is then to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. But pray, that your flight be not in the winter. For there shall be in those days such tribulation, as was not from the beginning of creatures, which God created, unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had should shorten those days, no man should be saved. But for the elects' sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days. And then, if any man say to you, 'Lo, here is Christ, lo, he is there,' believe not. For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets; And shall show miracles and wonders, to deceive if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: Behold, I have showed you all things before.

Behold, your habitation shall be left unto you desolate. For I tell you, Ye shall not see me until the time come that ye shall say, 'Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.'"





And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethpage, and Bethany, besides Mount Olivet, he sent forth two of his disciples, and said unto them, "Go your ways into the town that is over against you. And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt bound, whereon never man sat: loose him and bring him hither. And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye so?' say that the Lord hath need of him: and straightway he will send him hither." read more.
And they went their way, and found a colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met, and they loosed him. And divers of them that stood there, said unto them, "What do ye loosing the colt?" And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded them. And they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way. Others cut down branches of the trees, and strawed them in the way. And they that went before and they that followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna: blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Blessed be the kingdom that cometh in the name of him that is Lord of our father David. Hosanna in the highest." And the Lord entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple. And when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

When they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethpage, unto mount Olivet, then sent Jesus two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go into the town that lieth over against you, and anon ye shall find an ass bound, and her colt with her: loose them and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, say ye that your master hath need of them; and straight way he will let them go." read more.
All this was done, to fulfill that which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass used to the yoke." The disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon. And many of the people spread their garments in the way. Others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. Moreover, the people that went before, and they also that came after, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" And the people said, "This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth, a city of Galilee."

And it fortuned, when he was come nigh to Bethpage and Bethany, besides Mount Olivet, he sent two of his disciples saying, "Go ye in to the town which is over against you. In the which as soon as ye are come, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat. Loose him and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, why that ye loose him: thus say unto him, 'The Lord hath need of him.'" read more.
They that were sent went their way, and found, even as he had said unto them. And as they were a loosing the colt, the owners said unto them, "Why loose ye the colt?" And they said, "For the Lord hath need of him." And they brought him to Jesus. And they cast their raiment on the colt, and set Jesus thereon. And as he went they spread their clothes in the way. And when he was now come where he should go down from the Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to laud God with a loud voice, for all the miracles that they had seen, saying, "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest." And some of the Pharisees of the company, said unto him, "Master, rebuke thy disciples." He answered, and said unto them, "I tell you, if these should hold their peace, the stones would cry." And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side; And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."

On the morrow much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus should come to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went and met him, and cried, "Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lord cometh, King of Israel." And Jesus got a young ass and sat thereon, according to that which was written, read more.
"Fear not, daughter of Zion: Behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt." These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that such things were written of him, and that such things they had done unto him. The people that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from death, bare record. Therefore met him the people, because they heard that he had done such a miracle. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "Perceive ye, how we prevail nothing? Behold, all the whole world goeth away after him."


And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side; read more.
And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation." And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying unto them, "It is written, 'My house is the house of prayer.' But ye have made it a den of thieves." And he taught daily in the temple. The high priests and the scribes and the chief of the people, went about to destroy him; but could not find what to do. For all the people stuck by him. And gave him audience.


And as he sat upon the mount Olivet, his disciples came unto him secretly, saying, "Tell us, when these things shall be: and what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you; For many shall come in my name saying, 'I am Christ': and shall deceive many. read more.
Ye shall hear of wars, and of the fame of wars, but see that ye be not troubled, for all must come to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm: and there shall be pestilence, and hunger, and earthquakes in all quarters. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake: And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one the other. And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall have the upper hand, the love of many shall abate. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be safe. And this glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come. When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination that betokeneth desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place: let him that readeth it, understand it: Then let them which be in Jewry fly into the mountains. And let him which is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house. Neither let him which is in the field, return back to fetch his clothes. Woe shall be in those days to them that are with child, and to them that give suck. But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be. Yea, and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: But for the chosens' sake, those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, 'Lo, here is Christ,' or 'There is Christ': believe it not: for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets and shall do great miracles and wonders. Insomuch that if it were possible, even the very elect should be deceived. Take heed: I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 'Behold, he is in the desert,' go not forth: 'Lo, he is in the secret places,' believe not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west: so shall the coming of the son of man be. For wheresoever a dead carcass is, even thither will the eagles resort. Immediately after the tribulations 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 heaven shall move. And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other. "Learn a similitude of the fig tree: when his branches are yet tender, and his leaves sprung, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, be ye sure that it is near; even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it, saying, "If thou hadst known those things which belong unto thy peace, even at thy time: But now are they hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side; read more.
And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified saying, "Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."


and looked up to heaven and sighted, and said unto him, "Ephphatha," that is to say, "Be opened."

and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."


When Jesus saw her weep, and the Jews also weep, which came with her; He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled in himself,

And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice. They shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them. They that love thy name shall be joyful in thee;

And all Israel brought the Ark of the LORD's covenant with shouting and blowing of horns, and with trumpets and cymbals that sounded, and with psalteries and harps.

And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, turned back again, and with a loud voice praised God,

Cry and shout thou inhabiter of Zion, for great among you is the holy of Israel.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of the children of Korah} O clap your hands together, all ye people; O sing unto God with the voice of melody!

And they sang together, giving praise and thanks unto the LORD; because he is gracious, and because his mercy endureth forever upon Israel. And all the people shouted loud in praising the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. Many also of the old priests and Levites and ancient fathers which had seen the first house - when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes - wept with a loud voice. And many shouted with joy, so that the noise gave a great sound, insomuch that the people could not know the joyful sound for the noise of the weeping among the people: for the people shouted with a loud cry, so that the noise was heard afar off.

And they made a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers, with all their hearts and all their souls: so that all that sought not the LORD God of Israel, should die for it, whether he were small or great, man or woman. And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice and shouting and with trumpets and horns.

And when he was now come where he should go down from the Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to laud God with a loud voice, for all the miracles that they had seen, saying, "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest." And some of the Pharisees of the company, said unto him, "Master, rebuke thy disciples." read more.
He answered, and said unto them, "I tell you, if these should hold their peace, the stones would cry." And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it,

and he sprang, stood, and also walked, and entered with them into the temple: walking, and leaping, and lauding God. And all the people saw him walk and laud God.

saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing." And all creatures, which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them heard I, saying, "Blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the seat, and unto the lamb for evermore." And the four beasts said, "Amen." And the twenty four elders fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.

Therefore awake and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one of you, both night and day with tears.


He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

When I perceived that, I said, "Let me alone, and I will make lamentation. Take no labour for to comfort me, as touching the destruction of my people."

O Who will give my head water enough, and a well of tears for mine eyes, that I may weep night and day for the slaughter of my people?

"This shalt thou say also unto them: 'Mine eyes shall weep without ceasing day and night. For my people shall be destroyed with great harm, and shall perish with a great plague.


But if ye will not hear me, that give you secret warning, I will mourn from my whole heart for your stubbornness. Piteously will I weep, and the tears shall gush out of mine eyes. For the LORD's flock shall be carried away captive.

and sing a mourning song of you: that the tears may fall out of our eyes, and that our eyelids may gush out of water.
