Chapter 1

At the baptism of Jesus, in the River Jordan after the Holy Ghost descended

The Father spoke

¹¹Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

In Galilee, to the people

¹⁵The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

By the Sea of Galilee, to Simon and Andrew

¹⁷Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

In the synagogue at Capernaum, to an unclean spirit

²⁵Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

In a solitary place, to his disciples

³⁸Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

In a Galilean synagogue, to a leper

⁴¹I will; be thou clean. ⁴⁴See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Chapter 2

In a house at Capernaum, to one sick of palsy

⁵Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

In a house at Capernaum, to the scribes

⁸Why reason ye these things in your hearts? ⁹Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? ¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,

To the sick of the palsy

¹¹I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

At the receipt of custom, to Levi

¹⁴Follow me.

In Levi’s house, to the scribes and Pharisees

¹⁷They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

¹⁸And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁹Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. ²⁰But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. ²¹No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. ²²And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

In the cornfield, on the Sabbath, to the Pharisees

²⁵Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him? ²⁶How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? ²⁷The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: ²⁸therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Chapter 3

In the synagogue, to a man with a withered hand

³Stand forth.

In the synagogue, to the Pharisees

⁴Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?

To the man with a withered hand

⁵Stretch forth thine hand.

And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

To the scribes

²³And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables,

How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ²⁶And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. ²⁷No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. ²⁸Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: ²⁹but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

To the multitude

³³Who is my mother, or my brethren?

³⁴And he looked round about on them which sat about him,

Behold my mother and my brethren! ³⁵For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Chapter 4

In a ship, by the sea side, to the multitude

³Hearken; behold, there went out a sower to sow: ⁴and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. ⁵And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: ⁶but when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. ⁷And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. ⁸And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. ⁹He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

To the disciples, concerning the parable

¹¹Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: ¹²that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. ¹³Know ye not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables? ¹⁴The sower soweth the word. ¹⁵And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. ¹⁶And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; ¹⁷and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. ¹⁸And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, ¹⁹and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. ²⁰And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. ²¹Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? And not to be set on a candlestick? ²²For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. ²³If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. ²⁴Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. ²⁵For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. ²⁶So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; ²⁷and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. ²⁸For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. ²⁹But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. ³⁰Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? ³¹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: ³²but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. ³⁵Let us pass over unto the other side.

On a ship, to the wind and sea

³⁹Peace, be still.

And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

On the same ship, to the disciples

⁴⁰Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?

Chapter 5

In the country of the Gadarenes, to the unclean spirit

⁸Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. ⁹What is thy name?

And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

To the man from the country of the Gadarenes who had the unclean spirit cast out

¹⁹Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

On the way to Jairus’ house, to the crowd

³⁰Who touched my clothes?

To the woman who touched him

³⁴Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

To Jairus

³⁶Be not afraid, only believe.

At the house of Jairus, to them that wept

³⁹Why make ye this ado, and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

To the damsel

⁴¹Talitha cumi;

(Damsel, I say unto thee, arise)

Chapter 6

In the synagogue of his own country, to the people

⁴A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

To his disciples

¹⁰In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. ¹¹And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

To the apostles

³¹Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:

In a desert place, to his disciples

³⁷Give ye them to eat. ³⁸How many loaves have ye? Go and see.

On the sea, to his disciples

⁵⁰Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

Chapter 7

In the land of Gennesaret, to the Pharisees and scribes

⁶Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁷Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ⁸For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. ⁹Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. ¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: ¹¹but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. ¹²And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; ¹³making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

In the same region, to the people

¹⁴Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: ¹⁵there is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. ¹⁶If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

In a house, to his disciples

¹⁸Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; ¹⁹because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? ²⁰That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. ²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²²thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: ²³all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

In a house on the borders of Tyre and Sidon, to a Syrophenician woman

²⁷Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. ²⁹For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

At the Sea of Galilee, on the coast of Decapolis, to a deaf man

³⁴Ephphatha,

(Be opened)

Chapter 8

To his disciples

²I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: ³and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. ⁵How many loaves have ye?

In Dalmanutha, to the Pharisees

¹²Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

In a ship, to his disciples

¹⁵Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. ¹⁷Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened? ¹⁸Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? And do ye not remember? ¹⁹When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?

They say unto him, Twelve.

²⁰And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?

And they said, Seven.

²¹How is it that ye do not understand?

In Bethsaida, to a man healed of blindness

²⁶Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

In Caesarea Philippi, to his disciples

²⁷Whom do men say that I am? ²⁹But whom say ye that I am?

In Caesarea Philippi, to Peter

³³Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

In Caesarea Philippi, to the people and his disciples

³⁴Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ³⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. ³⁶For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? ³⁷Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Chapter 9

¹Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

At the transfiguration of Jesus in a high mountain

The Father spoke

⁷This is my beloved Son: hear him.

After his transfiguration, to Peter, James and John

¹²Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. ¹³But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

To the scribes questioning with the multitude

¹⁶What question ye with them?

To his disciples concerning the father of a possessed child

¹⁹O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.

To the father of a possessed child

²¹How long is it ago since this came unto him? ²³If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

To the foul spirit

²⁵Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

In a house, to his disciples

²⁹This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

In Galilee, to his disciples

³¹The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

In a house at Capernaum, to his disciples

³³What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? ³⁵If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. ³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

To John the Apostle

³⁹Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. ⁴⁰For he that is not against us is on our part. ⁴¹For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. ⁴²And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ⁴³And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁴where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁶where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: ⁴⁸where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. ⁵⁰Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

Chapter 10

In the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Jordan, to the Pharisees

³What did Moses command you? ⁵For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. ⁶But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. ⁷For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; ⁸and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. ⁹What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

In the house, to his disciples

¹¹Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. ¹²And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. ¹⁴Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. ¹⁵Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

To a rich man

¹⁸Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God. ¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. ²¹One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

To his disciples

²³How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁴Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. ²⁷With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. ²⁹Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, ³⁰but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. ³¹But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

On the way to Jerusalem, to his disciples

³³Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: ³⁴and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

To James and John

³⁶What would ye that I should do for you? ³⁸Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? And be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? ³⁹Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: ⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

To the other ten disciples

⁴²Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. ⁴³But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: ⁴⁴and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. ⁴⁵For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

In Jericho, to blind Bartimaeus

⁵¹What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? ⁵²Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.

Chapter 11

At the Mount of Olives, to two of his disciples

²Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. ³And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

On his way to Jerusalem, to a fig tree

¹⁴No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.

In Jerusalem’s temple, to them that bought and sold in the temple

¹⁷Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? But ye have made it a den of thieves.

By the cursed fig tree, to his disciples

²²Have faith in God. ²³For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ²⁴Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. ²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. ²⁶But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

In Jerusalem’s temple, to the chief priests and scribes

²⁹I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. ³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. ³³Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Chapter 12

¹And he began to speak unto them by parables.

A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. ²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. ³And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. ⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. ⁵And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. ⁶Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. ⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. ⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. ⁹What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. ¹⁰And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: ¹¹this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

To the Pharisees and the Herodians

¹⁵Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it. ¹⁶Whose is this image and superscription? ¹⁷Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.

To the Sadducees

²⁴Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? ²⁵For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. ²⁶And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? ²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

To one of the scribes

²⁹The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: ³⁰and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. ³¹And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. ³⁴Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.

In the temple, to the people

³⁵How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? ³⁶For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. ³⁷David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? ³⁸Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, ³⁹and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: ⁴⁰which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Near the treasury in the temple, to his disciples

⁴³Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: ⁴⁴for all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Chapter 13

By Jerusalem’s temple, to one of his disciples

²Seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

On the Mount of Olives, to Peter, James, John and Andrew

⁵Take heed lest any man deceive you: ⁶for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. ⁷And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. ⁸For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. ⁹But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. ¹⁰And the gospel must first be published among all nations. ¹¹But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. ¹²Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. ¹³And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. ¹⁴But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: ¹⁵and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: ¹⁶and let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. ¹⁷But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! ¹⁸And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. ¹⁹For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. ²⁰And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. ²¹And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: ²²for false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. ²³But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. ²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, ²⁵and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. ²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. ²⁸Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: ²⁹so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. ³⁰Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. ³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. ³²But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. ³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. ³⁴For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. ³⁵Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: ³⁶lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. ³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Chapter 14

At Bethany, in Simon the leper’s house, to his disciples

⁶Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me. ⁷For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. ⁸She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. ⁹Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

On the first day of Passover, to two of his disciples

¹³Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. ¹⁴And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? ¹⁵And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

At the Passover supper in the upper room, to his twelve

¹⁸Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. ²⁰It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. ²¹The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Good were it for that man if he had never been born.

²²And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them

Take, eat: this is my body.

²³And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

²⁴This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. ²⁵Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

At the Mount of Olives, to his disciples

²⁷All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. ²⁸But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

To Peter
