5:15	AndThey they came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind the very man who had had the legion; and they were afraid
5:16	AndThose those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine reported it
5:17	AndThen they began to beg Jesus to departleave from their neighborhood
5:18	AndAs as he was getting into the boat the man who had been possessed withby demons begged him that he might be with him
5:19	But heJesus refused and said to him Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and howwhat mercy he has hadshown mercy on you
5:20	And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decap′olisDecapolis how much Jesus had done for him; and alleveryone menwas marveledamazed

5:32	AndHe he looked all around to see who had done it
5:33	But the woman knowing what had beenhappened done to her came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth
5:34	AndHe he said to her Daughter your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your disease
5:35	While he was still speaking theresome people came from the rulersleaders house someto whosay said Your daughter is dead Why trouble the Teacherteacher any further

5:37	AndHe he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James
5:38	When they came to the house of the rulerleader of the synagogue he saw a tumultcommotion and people weeping and wailing loudly
5:39	AndWhen when he had entered he said to them Why do you make a tumultcommotion and weep The child is not dead but sleeping

5:41	TakingHe took her by the hand heand said to her Tal′ithaTalitha cu′mi;cum which means Little girl Iget sayup to you arise
5:42	And immediately the girl got up and walkedbegan to walk about she was twelve years of age andAt this they were immediately overcome with amazement
5:43	AndHe he strictly chargedordered them that no one should know this and told them to give her something to eat
6:1	He wentleft awaythat fromplace there and came to his ownhometown country; and his disciples followed him
6:2	AndOn on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonishedastounded sayingThey said Where did this man get all this What is thethis wisdom that has been given to him What mightydeeds worksof power are wroughtbeing done by his hands
6:4	AndThen Jesus said to them AProphets prophetare is not without honor except in histheir ownhometown country and among histheir own kin and in histheir own house
6:5	And he could do no mightydeed workof power there except that he laid his hands uponon a few sick people and healedcured them
6:6	And he marveledwas becauseamazed ofat their unbelief AndThen he went about among the villages teaching
6:7	AndHe he called to him the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over the unclean spirits
6:8	He chargedordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread no bag no money in their belts;

6:13	AndThey they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many thatwho were sick and healedcured them
6:14	King Herod heard of it; for Jesus name had become known Some saidwere saying John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; thatand isfor whythis reason these powers are at work in him
6:15	But others said It is Eli′jahElijah And others said It is a prophet like one of the prophets of old
6:17	For Herod himself had sent andmen seizedwho arrested John bound him and boundput him in prison foron theaccount sake of Hero′diHerodias as his brother Philips wife; because heHerod had married her
6:18	For John saidhad tobeen telling Herod It is not lawful for you to have your brothers wife
6:19	And Hero′diHerodias as had a grudge against him and wanted to kill him But she could not
6:20	for Herod feared John knowing that he was a righteous and holy man and kepthe protected him safe When he heard him he was muchgreatly perplexed; and yet he heardliked to listen to him gladly
6:21	But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leadingleaders men of Galilee
6:22	ForWhen whenhis Hero′didaughter asHerodias daughter came in and danced she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl Ask me for whatever you wish and I will grantgive it
6:23	And he vowedsolemnly swore to her Whatever you ask me I will give you even half of my kingdom
6:24	AndShe she went out and said to her mother What shallshould I ask Andfor sheShe saidreplied The head of John the baptizer
6:25	AndImmediately she camerushed inback immediately with haste to the king and askedrequested saying I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter
6:26	AndThe the king was exceedinglydeeply sorrygrieved; butyet becauseout of regard for his oaths and hisfor the guests he did not want to breakrefuse his word to her
6:27	AndImmediately immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard andwith gave orders to bring hisJohns head He went and beheaded him in the prison
6:28	and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl; andThen the girl gave it to her mother
6:29	When his disciples heard ofabout it they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb
6:30	The apostles returnedgathered toaround Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught
6:31	AndHe he said to them Come away by yourselves to a lonelydeserted place all by yourselves and rest a while For many were coming and going and they had no leisure even to eat
6:32	And they went away in the boat to a lonelydeserted place by themselves
6:33	Now many saw them going and knewrecognized them and they ranhurried there on foot from all the towns and gotarrived there ahead of them
6:34	As he went ashore he saw a great throngcrowd; and he had compassion onfor them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things
6:35	AndWhen when it grew late his disciples came to him and said This is a lonelydeserted place and the hour is now very late;
6:36	send them away toso that they may go into the surrounding country and villages round about and buy something for themselves something to eat
6:37	But he answered them You give them something to eat AndThey they said to him ShallAre we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat
6:38	And he said to them How many loaves have you Go and see AndWhen when they had found out they said Five and two fish
6:39	Then he commandedordered them to get all the people to sit down byin companiesgroups uponon the green grass
6:40	So they sat down in groups byof hundreds and byof fifties
6:41	AndTaking taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven and blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to thehis disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all
6:42	And they all ate and were satisfiedfilled;
6:43	Andand they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish
6:44	AndThose those who atehad eaten the loaves werenumbered five thousand men
6:45	Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go beforeon himahead to the other side to BethBethsaida sa′ida while he dismissed the crowd
6:46	AndAfter aftersaying hefarewell hadto taken leave of them he went up on the mountain to pray
6:47	AndWhen when evening came the boat was out on the sea and he was alone on the land
6:48	AndWhen he saw that they were makingstraining headwayat painfully for the windoars was against theman Andadverse aboutwind thehe fourthcame watchtowards ofthem theearly nightin hethe camemorning to them walking on the sea He meantintended to pass them by them
6:49	butBut when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and cried out;
6:50	for they all saw him and were terrified But immediately he spoke to them and said Take heart it is I; havedo nonot fearbe afraid
6:51	AndThen he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased And they were utterly astounded
6:53	AndWhen when they had crossed over they came to land at Gennes′aretGennesaret and moored to the shoreboat
6:54	AndWhen when they got out of the boat immediatelypeople theat peopleonce recognized him
6:55	and ranrushed about thethat whole neighborhoodregion and began to bring the sick people on theirmats pallets to anywherever place where they heard he was
6:56	And wherever he camewent ininto villages or cities or countryfarms they laid the sick in the marketmarketplaces places and besoughtbegged him that they might touch even the fringe of his garmentcloak; and asall manywho as touched it were made wellhealed
7:1	Now when the Pharisees gatheredand together to him with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him
7:2	they sawnoticed that some of his disciples atewere eating with defiled hands defiled that is unwashedwithout washing them
7:3	For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands thus observing the tradition of the elders;
7:4	and when they comedo not eat anything from the market place they do not eat unless they purifywash themselvesit; and there are also many other traditions whichthat they observe the washing of cups and pots and vesselsbronze ofkettles bronze
7:5	AndSo the Pharisees and the scribes asked him Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders but eat with defiled hands defiled
7:6	AndHe he said to them WellIsaiah didprophesied Isaiahrightly prophesyabout of you hypocrites as it is written This people honors me with their lips but their hearthearts isare far from me;
7:7	in vain do they worship me teaching ashuman doctrines the precepts ofas mendoctrines
7:8	You leaveabandon the commandment of God and hold fastto thehuman tradition of men
7:9	AndThen he said to them You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition
7:10	For Moses said Honor your father and your mother; and HeWhoever who speaks evil of father or mother letmust him surely die;
7:11	butBut you say Ifthat aif mananyone tells his father or his mother WhatWhatever support you wouldmight have gainedhad from me is Corban that is givenan offering to God—
7:12	then you no longer permit himdoing to do anything for hisa father or mother
7:13	thus making void the word of God through your tradition whichthat you handhave handed on And you do many such things youlike dothis
7:14	AndThen he called the peoplecrowd to him again and said to them HearListen to me all of you and understand:
7:15	there is nothing outside a manperson whichthat by going intoin him can defile him; but the things whichthat come out of a man are what defile him
7:17	AndWhen when he had enteredleft the housecrowd and leftentered the peoplehouse his disciples asked him about the parable
7:18	AndHe he said to them Then aredo you also withoutfail understandingto understand Do you not see that whatever goes into a manperson from outside cannot defile him
7:19	since it enters not histhe heart but histhe stomach and sogoes passesout oninto the sewer Thus he declared all foods clean
7:20	And he said WhatIt is what comes out of a manperson isthat what defiles a man
7:21	For it is from within outfrom of the human heart ofthat manevil intentions come: evil thoughts fornication theft murder adultery
7:22	covetingadultery avarice wickedness deceit licentiousness envy slander pride foolishnessfolly
7:23	All these evil things come from within and they defile a manperson
7:24	AndFrom from there he aroseset out and went away to the region of Tyre andHe Sidon And he entered a house and woulddid not havewant anyanyone oneto know it;he yetwas there Yet he could not beescape hidnotice
7:25	Butbut immediately a woman whose little daughter washad possessed by an unclean spirit immediately heard ofabout him and she came and fellbowed down at his feet
7:26	Now the woman was a GreekGentile aof Syrophoeni′cianSyrophoenician byorigin birthShe And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter
7:27	AndHe he said to her Let the children first be fed first for it is not rightfair to take the childrens breadfood and throw it to the dogs
7:28	But she answered him YesSir Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the childrens crumbs
7:29	AndThen he said to her For this saying that you may go your way; —the demon has left your daughter
7:30	AndSo she went home and found the child lying inon the bed and the demon gone
7:31	Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went throughby way of Sidon totowards the Sea of Galilee throughin the region of the Decap′olisDecapolis
7:32	AndThey they brought to him a deaf man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besoughtbegged him to lay his hand uponon him
7:33	AndHe takingtook him aside in private away from the multitudecrowd privatelyand he put his fingers into his ears and he spat and touched his tongue;
7:34	andThen looking up to heaven he sighed and said to him Eph′phathaEphphatha that is Be opened
7:35	And immediately his ears were opened his tongue was released and he spoke plainly
7:36	AndThen heJesus chargedordered them to tell no one; but the more he chargedordered them the more zealously they proclaimed it
7:37	AndThey they were astonishedastounded beyond measure saying He has done alleverything things well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the dumbmute to speak
8:1	In those days when there was again a great crowd hadwithout gatheredanything and they had nothing to eat he called his disciples to him and said to them
8:2	I have compassion onfor the crowd because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat;
8:3	andIf if I send them away hungry to their homes they will faint on the way; —and some of them have come from a longgreat waydistance
8:4	AndHis his disciples answeredreplied him How can one feed these menpeople with bread here in the desert
8:5	AndHe he asked them How many loaves havedo you have They said Seven
8:6	AndThen he commandedordered the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves and havingafter givengiving thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the peopledistribute; and they setdistributed them beforeto the crowd
8:7	AndThey they had also a few small fish; and havingafter blessedblessing them he commandedordered that these alsotoo should be setdistributed before them
8:8	AndThey they ate and were satisfiedfilled; and they took up the broken pieces left over seven baskets full
8:9	AndNow there were about four thousand people And he sent them away
8:10	And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanu′thaDalmanutha
8:11	The Pharisees came and began to argue with him seekingasking from him for a sign from heaven to test him
8:12	And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said Why does this generation seekask for a sign Truly I saytell to you no sign shallwill be given to this generation
8:13	And he left them and getting into the boat again he departedwent across to the other side
8:14	Now theythe disciples had forgotten to bring any bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat
8:15	And he cautioned them saying TakeWatch heed out—beware of the leavenyeast of the Pharisees and the leavenyeast of Herod
8:16	AndThey theysaid discussedto it with one another sayingIt Weis because we have no bread
8:17	And beingbecoming aware of it Jesus said to them Why doare you discusstalking theabout facthaving that you have no bread Do you still not yet perceive or understand Are your hearts hardened
8:18	HavingDo you have eyes doand youfail notto see andDo havingyou have ears doand youfail notto hear And do you not remember
8:19	When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you takecollect up They said to him Twelve
8:20	And the seven for the four thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you takecollect up And they said to him Seven
8:21	AndThen he said to them Do you not yet understand
8:22	AndThey they came to BethBethsaida sa′idaSome And some people brought to him a blind man to him and begged him to touch him
8:23	AndHe he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had spitput saliva on his eyes and laid his hands uponon him he asked him DoCan you see anything
8:24	And hethe man looked up and said I can see men;people but they look like trees walking
8:25	Then againJesus he laid his hands uponon his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored and he saw everything clearly
8:26	AndThen he sent him away to his home saying Do not even entergo into the village
8:27	And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesare′aCaesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples Who do menpeople say that I am
8:28	And they toldanswered him John the Baptist; and others say Eli′jahElijah; and still others one of the prophets
8:29	AndHe he asked them But who do you say that I am Peter answered him You are the ChristMessiah
8:30	And he chargedsternly ordered them not to tell noanyone one about him
8:31	AndThen he began to teach them that the Son of manMan must sufferundergo manygreat thingssuffering and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed and after three days rise again
8:32	AndHe he said all this plainlyquite openly And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him
8:33	But turning and seeinglooking at his disciples he rebuked Peter and said Get behind me Satan For you are setting your mind not on thedivine sidethings ofbut Godon buthuman of menthings
8:34	AndHe he called to him the multitudecrowd with his disciples and said to them If any manwant wouldto comebecome aftermy mefollowers let himthem deny himselfthemselves and take up histheir cross and follow me
8:35	For whoeverthose wouldwho want to save histheir life will lose it; and whoeverthose loseswho hislose their life for my sake and for the gospelssake of the gospel will save it
8:36	For what doeswill it profit athem man to gain the whole world and forfeit histheir life
8:37	ForIndeed what can athey man give in return for histheir life
8:38	ForThose whoeverwho isare ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation of himthem will the Son of manMan will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels
9:1	And he said to them Truly I saytell to you there are some standing here who will not taste death beforeuntil they see that the kingdom of God has come with power
9:2	AndSix afterdays sixlater days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; andAnd he was transfigured before them
9:3	and his garmentsclothes became glisteningdazzling intensely white such as no fullerone on earth could bleach them
9:4	And there appeared to them Eli′jahElijah with Moses; andwho they were talking towith Jesus
9:5	AndThen Peter said to Jesus MasterRabbi it is wellgood thatfor weus areto be here; let us make three boothsdwellings one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli′jahElijah
9:6	ForHe he did not know what to say for they were exceedinglyterrified afraid
9:7	AndThen a cloud overshadowed them and afrom voicethe camecloud outthere ofcame thea cloudvoice This is my belovedSon Sonthe Beloved; listen to him
9:8	AndSuddenly suddenlywhen lookingthey looked around they no longer saw anyno one with them any more but only Jesus only
9:9	AndAs as they were coming down the mountain he chargedordered them to tell no one about what they had seen until after the Son of manMan shouldhad have risen from the dead
9:10	So they kept the matter to themselves questioning what thethis rising from the dead meantcould mean
9:11	AndThen they asked him Why do the scribes say that firstElijah Eli′jah must come first
9:12	AndHe he said to them Eli′jahElijah doesis comeindeed coming first to restore all things; andHow howthen is it written ofabout the Son of manMan that he shouldis sufferto go through many thingssufferings and be treated with contempt
9:13	But I tell you that Eli′jahElijah has come and they did to him whatever they pleased as it is written ofabout him
9:14	AndWhen when they came to the disciples they saw a great crowd aboutaround them and some scribes arguing with them
9:15	AndWhen immediatelythe allwhole the crowd when they saw him they were greatlyimmediately amazedovercome with awe and they ran upforward to himgreet and greeted him
9:16	AndHe he asked them What are you discussingarguing about with them
9:17	AndSomeone onefrom of the crowd answered him Teacher I brought you my son; to you for he has a dumbspirit spiritthat makes him unable to speak;
9:18	and whereverwhenever it seizes him it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out andbut they werecould not abledo so
9:19	AndHe he answered them OYou faithless generation how longmuch amlonger must I to be withamong you How longmuch amlonger must I toput bearup with you Bring him to me
9:20	And they brought the boy to him; andWhen when the spirit saw him immediately it convulsed the boy and he fell on the ground and rolled about foaming at the mouth
9:21	And Jesus asked histhe father How long has hethis hadbeen thishappening to him And he said From childhood
9:22	AndIt it has often cast him into the fire and into the water to destroy him; but if you canare able to do anything have pity on us and help us
9:23	And Jesus said to him If you canare able—All things arecan possiblebe todone himfor the one who believes
9:24	Immediately the father of the child cried out and said I believe; help my unbelief
9:25	AndWhen when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together he rebuked the unclean spirit saying to it You dumbspirit that keeps this boy from speaking and deafhearing spirit I command you come out of him and never enter him again
9:26	AndAfter after crying out and convulsing him terribly it came out and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said He is dead
9:27	But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and he arosewas able to stand
9:28	AndWhen when he had entered the house his disciples asked him privately Why could we not cast it out
9:29	AndHe he said to them This kind cannotcan become driven out byonly anythingthrough but prayer
9:30	They went on from there and passed through Galilee AndHe hedid would not havewant anyanyone oneto know it;
9:31	for he was teaching his disciples saying to them The Son of manMan willis to be deliveredbetrayed into thehuman hands of men and they will kill him; and whenthree hedays is killed after threebeing dayskilled he will rise again
9:32	But they did not understand thewhat he was saying and they were afraid to ask him
9:33	AndThen they came to Caper′na umCapernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them What were you discussingarguing about on the way
9:34	But they were silent; for on the way they had discussedargued with one another who was the greatest
9:35	AndHe he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them IfWhoever anywants oneto would be first he must be last of all and servant of all
9:36	AndThen he took a little child and put himit inamong the midst of them; and taking himit in his arms he said to them
9:37	Whoever receiveswelcomes one such child in my name receiveswelcomes me; and whoever receiveswelcomes me receiveswelcomes not me but himthe one who sent me
9:38	John said to him Teacher we saw asomeone man casting out demons in your name and we forbadetried to stop him because he was not following us
9:39	But Jesus said Do not forbidstop him; for no one who does a mightydeed workof power in my name will be able soon afterafterward to speak evil of me
9:40	ForWhoever he that is not against us is for us
9:41	For truly I saytell to you whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose histhe reward
9:42	WhoeverIf causesany of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me to sin it would be better for himyou if a great millstone were hung roundaround hisyour neck and heyou were thrown into the sea
9:43	AndIf if your hand causes you to sinstumble cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than withto have two hands and to go to hell to the unquenchable fire
9:45	And if your foot causes you to sinstumble cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than withto have two feet and to be thrown into hell
9:47	And if your eye causes you to sinstumble plucktear it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than withto have two eyes and to be thrown into hell
9:48	where their worm doesnever notdies die and the fire is notnever quenched
9:49	For everyeveryone one will be salted with fire
9:50	Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltnesssaltiness how willcan you season it Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another
10:1	AndHe he left therethat place and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan andAnd crowds again gathered toaround him again; and again as was his custom was he again taught them
10:2	AndSome Pharisees came up and in order to test him they asked Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife
10:4	They said Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorcedismissal and to putdivorce her away
10:5	But Jesus said to them ForBecause of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment for you
10:9	WhatTherefore thereforewhat God has joined together let notno manone put asunderseparate
10:10	AndThen in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter
10:11	AndHe he said to them Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;
10:13	AndPeople they were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples rebukedspoke sternly to them
10:14	But when Jesus saw itthis he was indignant and said to them Let the little children come to me; do not hinderstop them; for it is to such belongsas these that the kingdom of God belongs
10:15	Truly I saytell to you whoever does not receive the kingdom of God likeas a little child shallwill notnever enter it
10:16	And he took them up in his arms andlaid blessedhis themhands layingon histhem handsand uponblessed them
10:17	AndAs as he was setting out on hisa journey a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him Good Teacher what must I do to inherit eternal life
10:18	And Jesus said to him Why do you call me good No one is good but God alone
10:19	You know the commandments: DoYou shall not killmurder; DoYou shall not commit adultery; DoYou shall not steal; DoYou shall not bear false witness; DoYou shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother
10:20	AndHe he said to him Teacher all these I have observedkept fromall these since my youth
10:21	And Jesus looking uponat him loved him and said to him You lack one thing; go sell what you haveown and give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; andthen come follow me
10:22	AtWhen thathe sayingheard histhis countenancehe fellwas shocked and he went away sorrowful;grieving for he had greatmany possessions
10:23	AndThen Jesus looked around and said to his disciples How hard it will be for those who have richeswealth to enter the kingdom of God
10:24	And the disciples were amazedperplexed at histhese words But Jesus said to them again Children how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God
10:25	It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for asomeone who is rich man to enter the kingdom of God
10:26	AndThey they were exceedinglygreatly astonishedastounded and said to himone another Then who can be saved
10:27	Jesus looked at them and said WithFor menmortals it is impossible but not withfor God; for God all things are possible with God
10:28	Peter began to say to him LoLook we have left everything and followed you
10:29	Jesus said Truly I saytell to you there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or landsfields for my sake and for the gospelsake of the good news
10:30	who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and landsfields with persecutions —and in the age to come eternal life
10:31	But many thatwho are first will be last and the last will be first
10:32	AndThey they were on the road going up to Jerusalem and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed and those who followed were afraid AndHe takingtook the twelve aside again heand began to tell them what was to happen to him
10:33	saying BeholdSee we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of manMan will be deliveredhanded over to the chief priests and the scribes and they will condemn him to death; andthen deliverthey will hand him over to the Gentiles;
10:34	and they will mock him and spit upon him and scourgeflog him and kill him; and after three days he will rise again
10:35	And James and John the sons of Zeb′edeeZebedee came forward to him and said to him Teacher we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you
10:36	And he said to them What dois it you want me to do for you
10:38	But Jesus said to them You do not know what you are asking Are you able to drink the cup that I drink or to be baptized with the baptism withthat which I am baptized with
10:39	AndThey theyreplied said to him We are able AndThen Jesus said to them The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized you will be baptized;
10:41	AndWhen when the ten heard itthis they began to be indignantangry atwith James and John
10:42	AndSo Jesus called them to him and said to them You know that thoseamong whothe areGentiles supposedthose towhom rulethey overrecognize theas Gentilestheir rulers lord it over them and their great menones exerciseare authoritytyrants over them
10:43	But it shallis not be so among you; but whoever wouldwishes beto become great among you must be your servant
10:44	and whoever wouldwishes to be first among you must be slave of all
10:45	For the Son of manMan also came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many
10:46	AndThey they came to Jericho; andAs as he wasand leaving Jericho with his disciples and a greatlarge multitudecrowd Bartimae′uswere aleaving blindJericho beggarBartimaeus the son of Timae′usTimaeus a blind beggar was sitting by the roadside
10:47	AndWhen when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cryshout out and say Jesus Son of David have mercy on me
10:48	AndMany manysternly rebukedordered him telling him to be silent;quiet but he cried out alleven the more loudly Son of David have mercy on me
10:49	And Jesus stoppedstood still and said Call him here And they called the blind man saying to him Take heart; riseget up he is calling you
10:50	AndSo throwing off his mantlecloak he sprang up and came to Jesus
10:51	AndThen Jesus said to him What do you want me to do for you AndThe the blind man said to him MasterMy teacher let me receivesee myagain sight
10:52	And Jesus said to him Go your way; your faith has made you well AndImmediately immediately he receivedregained his sight and followed him on the way
11:1	AndWhen when they drewwere nearapproaching to Jerusalem toat Beth′phageBethphage and Bethany atnear the Mount of Olives he sent two of his disciples
11:2	and said to them Go into the village oppositeahead of you and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied onthere whicha nocolt onethat has evernever satbeen ridden; untie it and bring it
11:3	If anyanyone one says to you Why are you doing this just say this The Lord hasneeds need of it and will send it back here immediately
11:4	AndThey they went away and found a colt tied atnear thea door outoutside in the open street; andAs they untiedwere untying it
11:5	Andsome thoseof whothe stoodbystanders there said to them What are you doing untying the colt
11:6	AndThey they told them what Jesus had said; and they letallowed them goto take it
11:7	AndThen they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garmentscloaks on it; and he sat uponon it
11:8	AndMany manypeople spread their garmentscloaks on the road and others spread leafy branches whichthat they had cut fromin the fields
11:9	AndThen those who went beforeahead and those who followed criedwere outshouting Hosanna Blessed is hethe one who comes in the name of the Lord
11:10	Blessed is the coming kingdom of our fatherancestor David that is coming Hosanna in the highest heaven
11:11	AndThen he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked roundaround at everything as it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve
11:13	AndSeeing seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf he went to see ifwhether perhaps he couldwould find anything on it When he came to it he found nothing but leaves for it was not the season for figs
11:14	AndHe he said to it May no one ever eat fruit from you again And his disciples heard it
11:15	AndThen they came to Jerusalem And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who soldwere selling and those who boughtwere buying in the temple and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeonsdoves;
11:16	and he would not allow anyanyone one to carry anything through the temple
11:17	AndHe hewas taughtteaching and saidsaying to them Is it not written My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations But you have made it a den of robbers
11:18	And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it andthey soughtkept looking for a way to destroykill him; for they fearedwere afraid of him because all the multitudewhole crowd was astonishedspellbound atby his teaching
11:19	And when evening came theyJesus and his disciples went out of the city
11:20	AsIn the morning as they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots
11:21	AndThen Peter remembered and said to him MasterRabbi look The fig tree whichthat you cursed has withered
11:22	And Jesus answered them Have faith in God
11:23	Truly I saytell toyou if you whoeversay says to this mountain Be taken up and castthrown into the sea and doesif you do not doubt in hisyour heart but believesbelieve that what heyou sayssay will come to pass it will be done for himyou
11:24	ThereforeSo I tell you whatever you ask for in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours
11:25	AndWhenever whenever you stand praying forgive if you have anything against any oneanyone; so that your Father also who is in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses
11:27	AndAgain they came again to Jerusalem AndAs as he was walking in the temple the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him
11:28	and they said to him By what authority are you doing these things orWho who gave you this authority to do them
11:29	Jesus said to them I will ask you aone question; answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things
11:30	WasDid the baptism of John come from heaven or fromwas menit of human origin Answer me
11:31	AndThey they argued with one another If we say From heaven he will say Why then did you not believe him
11:32	But shall we say FromOf menhuman origin—they were afraid of the peoplecrowd for all heldregarded that John wasas truly a real prophet
11:33	So they answered Jesus We do not know And Jesus said to them Neither will I tell you by what authority I doam doing these things
12:1	AndThen he began to speak to them in parables A man planted a vineyard andput set a hedgefence around it and dug a pit for the wine press and built a towerwatchtower; andthen lethe leased it out to tenants and went intoto another country
12:2	When the timeseason came he sent a servantslave to the tenants to getcollect from them somehis share of the fruitproduce of the vineyard
12:3	AndBut they tookseized him and beat him and sent him away empty handed
12:4	AgainAnd again he sent another slave to them; anotherthis servantone and they woundedbeat himover in the head and treatedinsulted him shamefully
12:5	AndThen he sent another and himthat one they killed; andAnd so it was with many others; some they beat and someothers they killed
12:6	He had still one other a beloved son; finallyFinally he sent him to them saying They will respect my son
12:8	AndSo they tookseized him and killed him and castthrew him out of the vineyard
12:9	What then will the owner of the vineyard do He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others
12:10	Have you not read this scripture: The very stone whichthat the builders rejected has become the head of the cornercornerstone;
12:11	this was the Lords doing and it is marvelousamazing in our eyes
12:12	AndWhen they triedrealized tothat arresthe himhad buttold fearedthis theparable multitudeagainst forthem they perceivedwanted thatto hearrest hadhim toldbut thethey parablefeared againstthe them;crowd soSo they left him and went away
12:13	AndThen they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some ofHerodians the Hero′di ans to entraptrap him in hiswhat talkhe said
12:14	And they came and said to him Teacher we know that you are truesincere and careshow fordeference to no manone; for you do not regard thepeople positionwith ofpartiality men but truly teach the way of God in accordance with truth Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesarthe emperor or not
12:15	Should we pay them or should we not But knowing their hypocrisy he said to them Why putare you putting me to the test Bring me a coindenarius and let me looksee at it
12:16	And they brought one AndThen he said to them Whose likenesshead is this and inscriptionwhose istitle this They saidanswered toThe himemperors Caesars
12:17	Jesus said to them RenderGive to Caesarthe emperor the things that are Caesarsthe emperors and to God the things that are Gods And they were utterly amazed at him
12:18	AndSome Sad′duceesSadducees came to him who say that there is no resurrection; came to him and they asked him a question saying
12:19	Teacher Moses wrote for us that if a mans brother dies andleaving leaves a wife but leaves no child the man mustshall takemarry the wifewidow and raise up children for his brother
12:20	There were seven brothers; the first tookmarried a wife and when he died left no children;
12:21	and the second tookmarried her and died leaving no children; and the third likewise;
12:22	andnone of the seven left no children Last of all the woman alsoherself died
12:23	In the resurrection whose wife will she be For the seven had married her as wife
12:24	Jesus said to them Is not this whythe reason you are wrong that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God
12:26	And as for the dead being raised have you not read in the book of Moses in the passagestory about the bush how God said to him I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob
12:27	He is God not God of the dead but of the living; you are quite wrong
12:28	AndOne one of the scribes came upnear and heard them disputing with one another and seeing that he answered them well he asked him Which commandment is the first of all
12:29	Jesus answered The first is Hear O Israel: Thethe Lord our God the Lord is one;
12:30	and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength
12:32	AndThen the scribe said to him You are right Teacher; you have truly said that he is one and besides him there is no other but he;
12:33	and to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength and to love ones neighbor as oneself—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices
12:34	AndWhen when Jesus saw that he answered wisely he said to him You are not far from the kingdom of God AndAfter after that no one dared to ask him any question
12:35	AndWhile as Jesus taughtwas teaching in the temple he said How can the scribes say that the ChristMessiah is the son of David
12:36	David himself inspired by the Holy Spirit declared The Lord said to my Lord Sit at my right hand tilluntil I put thyyour enemies under thyyour feet
12:37	David himself calls him Lord; so how iscan he be his son And the greatlarge throngcrowd heardwas listening to him gladlywith delight
12:38	AndAs inhe histaught teaching he said Beware of the scribes who like to gowalk aboutaround in long robes and to havebe salutationsgreeted with respect in the marketmarketplaces places
12:39	and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feastsbanquets
12:40	whoThey devour widows houses and for athe pretensesake makeof appearance say long prayers They will receive the greater condemnation
12:41	AndHe he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the multitudecrowd putting money into the treasury Many rich people put in large sums
12:42	AndA a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins which makeare worth a penny
12:43	AndThen he called his disciples to him and said to them Truly I saytell to you this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury
12:44	For they all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had herall wholeshe livinghad to live on
13:1	AndAs as he came out of the temple one of his disciples said to him Look Teacher what wonderfullarge stones and what wonderfullarge buildings
13:2	AndThen Jesus saidasked to him Do you see these great buildings ThereNot one stone will not be left here one stone upon another; thatall will not be thrown down
13:3	AndWhen as he satwas sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately
13:4	Tell us when will this be and what will be the sign whenthat all these things are allabout to be accomplished
13:5	AndThen Jesus began to say to them TakeBeware heed that no one leads you astray
13:6	Many will come in my name sayingand say I am he and they will lead many astray
13:7	AndWhen when you hear of wars and rumors of wars do not be alarmed; this must take place but the end is notstill yetto come
13:8	For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines; thisThis is but the beginning of the birth pangs
13:9	ButAs takefor heedyourselves to yourselvesbeware; for they will deliverhand you upover to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings forbecause myof sakeme toas beara testimony beforeto them
13:10	And the gospelgood news must first be preachedproclaimed to all nations
13:11	AndWhen when they bring you to trial and deliverhand you upover do not beworry anxious beforehand about what you are to say; but say whatever is given you inat that hourtime for it is not you who speak but the Holy Spirit
13:12	AndBrother brother will deliverbetray up brother to death and thea father his child and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
13:13	and you will be hated by all forbecause of my namesname sake But hethe one who endures to the end will be saved
13:14	But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be let the reader understand then let those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains;
13:15	letthe himone who is on the housetop must not go down noror enter histhe house to take anything away;
13:16	andthe letone him who is in the field must not turn back to takeget hisa mantlecoat
13:17	AndWoe alasto for those who are withpregnant child and forto those who giveare sucknursing infants in those days
13:18	Pray that it may not happenbe in winter
13:19	For in those days there will be suffering such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation whichthat God created until now no and never will be
13:20	And if the Lord had not shortenedcut theshort those days no humanone being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect whom he chose he shortenedhas thecut short those days
13:21	And then if anyanyone one says to you at that time Look hereHere is the ChristMessiah or Look thereThere he is —do not believe it
13:22	False Christsmessiahs and false prophets will ariseappear and showproduce signs and wondersomens to lead astray if possible the elect
13:23	But takebe heedalert; I have already told you all things beforehandeverything
13:24	But in those days after that tribulationsuffering the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light
13:26	AndThen then they will see the Son of manMan coming in clouds with great power and glory
13:27	AndThen then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven
13:30	Truly I saytell to you this generation will not pass away beforeuntil all these things takehave taken place
13:32	But ofabout that day or that hour no one knows notneither even the angels in heaven nor the Son but only the Father
13:33	TakeBeware heedkeep watchalert; for you do not know when the time will come
13:34	It is like a man going on a journey when he leaves home and puts his servantsslaves in charge each with his work and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch
13:35	WatchTherefore thereforekeep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come in the evening or at midnight or at cockcrow or inat thedawn morning—
13:36	lestor else he comemay suddenly and find you asleep when he comes suddenly
13:37	And what I say to you I say to all: WatchKeep awake
14:1	It was now two days before the Passover and the feastfestival of Unleavened Bread AndThe the chief priests and the scribes were seekinglooking howfor a way to arrest himJesus by stealth and kill him;
14:2	for they said Not during the feastfestival lestor there may be a tumultriot ofamong the people
14:3	AndWhile while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper as he sat at the table a woman came with an alabaster flaskjar of very costly ointment of pure nard very costly and she broke open the flaskjar and poured itthe overointment on his head
14:4	But theresome were somethere who said to themselvesone indignantlyanother in anger Why was the ointment thus wasted in this way
14:5	For this ointment mightcould have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor And they reproachedscolded her
14:6	But Jesus said Let her alone; why do you trouble her She has doneperformed a beautifulgood thingservice tofor me
14:7	For you always have the poor with you and whenever you will you can doshow goodkindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me
14:8	She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for buryingits burial
14:9	AndTruly truly I saytell to you wherever the gospelgood news is preachedproclaimed in the whole world what she has done will be told in memoryremembrance of her
14:11	AndWhen when they heard it they were gladgreatly pleased and promised to give him money AndSo he soughtbegan to look for an opportunity to betray him
14:12	AndOn on the first day of Unleavened Bread when they sacrificed the passoverPassover lamb is sacrificed his disciples said to him Where willdo you havewant us to go and preparemake the preparations for you to eat the passoverPassover
14:13	AndSo he sent two of his disciples andsaying said to them Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him

14:15	AndHe he will show you a large upper room upstairs furnished and ready; thereMake preparepreparations for us there
14:16	AndSo the disciples set out and went to the city and found iteverything as he had told them; and they prepared the passoverPassover meal
14:17	AndWhen when it was evening he came with the twelve
14:18	And aswhen they werehad attaken tabletheir places and were eating Jesus said Truly I saytell to you one of you will betray me one who is eating with me
14:19	They began to be sorrowfuldistressed and to say to him one after another IsSurely itnot I
14:20	He said to them It is one of the twelve one who is dipping bread into the dishbowl with me
14:21	For the Son of manMan goes as it is written of him but woe to that manone by whom the Son of manMan is betrayed It would have been better for that manone ifnot heto hadhave not been born
14:22	AndWhile as they were eating he took a loaf of bread and blessedafter andblessing it he broke it and gave it to them and said Take; this is my body
14:23	AndThen he took a cup and whenafter hegiving had given thanks he gave it to them and they all of them drank offrom it
14:24	AndHe he said to them This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many
14:25	Truly I saytell to you I shallwill notnever again drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God
14:26	AndWhen when they had sung athe hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives
14:27	And Jesus said to them You will all fallbecome awaydeserters; for it is written I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered
14:29	Peter said to him Even though they all fallbecome awaydeserters I will not
14:30	And Jesus said to him Truly I saytell to you this day this very night before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times
14:31	But he said vehemently IfEven though I must die with you I will not deny you And they all of them said the same
14:32	AndThey they went to a place which was called Gethsem′aneGethsemane; and he said to his disciples Sit here while I pray
14:33	AndHe he took with him Peter and James and John and began to be greatly distressed and troubledagitated
14:34	And he said to them MyI soulam isdeeply verygrieved sorrowful even to death; remain here and watchkeep awake
14:35	And going a little farther he fellthrew himself on the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him
14:36	AndHe he said Abba Father for you all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I willwant but what thouyou wiltwant
14:37	AndHe he came and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter Simon are you asleep Could you not watchkeep awake one hour
14:38	WatchKeep awake and pray that you may not entercome into temptationthe time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak
14:40	And againonce more he came and found them sleeping for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answersay to him
14:41	AndHe he came thea third time and said to them Are you still sleeping and taking your rest ItEnough isThe enough; the hour has come; the Son of manMan is betrayed into the hands of sinners
14:42	RiseGet up let us be going; seeSee my betrayer is at hand
14:43	AndImmediately immediately while he was still speaking Judas came one of the twelve arrived; and with him there was a crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders
14:44	Now the betrayer had given them a sign saying The one I shallwill kiss is the man; seizearrest him and lead him away under guard
14:45	AndSo when he came he went up to him at once and said MasterRabbi Andand he kissed him
14:46	AndThen they laid hands on him and seizedarrested him
14:47	But one of those who stood bynear drew his sword and struck the slave of the high priest andcutting cut off his ear
14:48	AndThen Jesus said to them Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to capturearrest me as though I were a bandit
14:49	Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching and you did not seizearrest me But let the scriptures be fulfilled
14:50	AndAll theyof allthem forsookdeserted him and fled
14:51	AndA acertain young man followedwas following him withwearing nothing but a linen cloth aboutThey hiscaught body;hold andof they seized him
14:52	but he left the linen cloth and ran awayoff naked
14:53	AndThey theytook led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled
14:54	And Peter had followed him at a distance right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire
14:55	Now the chief priests and the whole council soughtwere looking for testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none
14:56	For many boregave false witnesstestimony against him and their witnesstestimony did not agree
14:57	AndSome some stood up and boregave false witnesstestimony against him saying
14:59	YetBut not even soon didthis point their testimony did not agree
14:60	AndThen the high priest stood up inbefore thethem midst and asked Jesus Have you no answer to make What is it that thesethey men testify against you
14:61	But he was silent and madedid nonot answer Again the high priest asked him Are you the ChristMessiah the Son of the Blessed One
14:62	And Jesus said I am; and you will see the Son of manMan seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven
14:63	AndThen the high priest tore his garmentsclothes and said Why do we still need witnesses
14:64	You have heard his blasphemy What is your decision AndAll theyof allthem condemned him as deserving death
14:65	AndSome some began to spit on him and to coverblindfold hishim face and to strike him saying to him Prophesy AndThe the guards receivedalso took him withover blowsand beat him
14:66	AndWhile as Peter was below in the courtyard one of the maidsservant girls of the high priest came; by
14:67	andWhen seeingshe saw Peter warming himself she lookedstared at him and said You also were with Jesus the Nazareneman Jesusfrom Nazareth
14:68	But he denied it saying I neitherdo not know noror understand what you meanare talking about And he went out into the gatewayforecourt Then the cock crowed
14:69	And the maidservant sawgirl on seeing him and began again to say to the bystanders This man is one of them
14:70	But again he denied it AndThen after a little while again the bystanders again said to Peter Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean
14:71	But he began to invoke a curse onand himselfhe andswore toan swearoath I do not know this man ofyou whomare youtalking speakabout
14:72	AndAt immediatelythat moment the cock crowed afor the second time AndThen Peter remembered howthat Jesus had said to him Before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times And he broke down and wept
15:1	AndAs as soon as it was morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council heldThey a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and deliveredhanded him over to Pilate
15:2	And Pilate asked him Are you the King of the Jews AndHe he answered him You havesay said so
15:3	AndThen the chief priests accused him of many things
15:4	And Pilate again asked him again Have you no answer to make See how many charges they bring against you
15:5	But Jesus made no further answerreply so that Pilate wonderedwas amazed
15:6	Now at the feastfestival he used to release a prisoner for them oneanyone prisoner for whom they asked
15:7	AndNow amonga theman rebelscalled Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder induring the insurrection there was a man called Barab′bas
15:8	AndSo the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do asfor hethem wasaccording wont to dohis forcustom them
15:9	AndThen he answered them Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews
15:10	For he perceivedrealized that it was out of envyjealousy that the chief priests had deliveredhanded him upover
15:11	But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them Barab′bas instead
15:12	And Pilate againspoke said to them again Then what shalldo Iyou wish me to do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews
15:13	AndThey theyshouted criedback out again Crucify him
15:14	And Pilate saidasked to them Why what evil has he done But they shouted all the more Crucify him
15:15	So Pilate wishing to satisfy the crowd released Barabbas for them Barab′bas; and havingafter scourgedflogging Jesus he deliveredhanded him over to be crucified
15:16	AndThen the soldiers led him awayinto insidethe courtyard of the palace that is the praetoriumgovernors headquarters; and they called together the whole battalioncohort
15:17	And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and plaitingafter twisting some thorns into a crown of thorns they put it on him
15:18	And they began tosaluting salute him Hail King of the Jews
15:19	AndThey they struck his head with a reed and spat upon him and they knelt down in homage to him
15:20	AndAfter whenmocking they had mocked him they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him AndThen they led him out to crucify him
15:21	AndThey they compelled a passer by Simon of Cyre′ne who was coming in from the country to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene the father of Alexander and Rufus to carry his cross
15:22	AndThen they brought himJesus to the place called Gol′gothaGolgotha which means the place of a skull
15:23	And they offered him wine mingledmixed with myrrh; but he did not take it
15:24	And they crucified him and divided his garmentsclothes among them casting lots for them to decide what each should take
15:25	AndIt it was nine oclock in the thirdmorning hour when they crucified him
15:26	AndThe the inscription of the charge against him read The King of the Jews
15:27	And with him they crucified two robbersbandits one on his right and one on his left
15:29	AndThose those who passed by derided him waggingshaking their heads and saying Aha You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days
15:31	SoIn alsothe same way the chief priests mockedalong himwith tothe onescribes anotherwere withalso themocking scribeshim among themselves and saying He saved others; he cannot save himself
15:32	Let the ChristMessiah the King of Israel come down now from the cross now so that we may see and believe Those who were crucified with him also reviledtaunted him
15:33	AndWhen whenit thewas sixthnoon hourdarkness hadcame come there was darkness over the whole land until three in the ninthafternoon hour
15:34	AndAt atthree theoclock ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice E′loEloi iEloi E′lolema isabachthani la′ma sabach tha′ni which means My God my God why hasthave thouyou forsaken me
15:35	AndWhen some of the bystanders hearingheard it they said BeholdListen he is calling Eli′jahfor Elijah
15:36	And onesomeone ran andfilled filling a sponge fullwith ofsour vinegarwine put it on a reedstick and gave it to him to drink saying Wait let us see whether Eli′jahElijah will come to take him down
15:37	AndThen Jesus utteredgave a loud cry and breathed his last
15:39	AndNow when the centurion who stood facing him saw that in this way he thus breathed his last he said Truly this man was theGods Son of God
15:40	There were also women looking on from afara distance; among whomthem were Mary Mag′daleneMagdalene and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses and Salo′meSalome
15:41	whoThese whenused heto wasfollow inhim Galileeand followedprovided for him andwhen ministeredhe towas himin Galilee; and alsothere were many other women who camehad come up with him to Jerusalem
15:42	AndWhen when evening had come and since it was the day of Preparation that is the day before the sabbath
15:43	Joseph of Arimathe′aArimathea a respected member of the council who was also himself lookingwaiting expectantly for the kingdom of God tookwent courageboldly and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus
15:44	AndThen Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion he asked him whether he washad alreadybeen dead for some time
15:45	AndWhen when he learned from the centurion that he was dead he granted the body to Joseph
15:46	AndThen heJoseph bought a linen shroudcloth and taking him down the body wrapped himit in the linen shroudcloth and laid himit in a tomb whichthat had been hewn out of the rock; andHe hethen rolled a stone against the door of the tomb
15:47	Mary Mag′daleneMagdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where hethe body was laid
16:1	AndWhen when the sabbath was pastover Mary Mag′daleneMagdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salo′meSalome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him
16:2	And very early on the first day of the week when the sun had risen they went to the tomb when the sun had risen
16:3	AndThey theyhad werebeen saying to one another Who will roll away the stone for us from the doorentrance ofto the tomb
16:4	AndWhen lookingthey looked up they saw that the stone waswhich rolled back—it was very large had already been rolled back
16:5	AndAs enteringthey entered the tomb they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side dressed in a white robe; and they were amazedalarmed
16:6	AndBut he said to them Do not be amazedalarmed; you seekare looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified He has risenbeen raised; he is not here; seeLook there is the place where they laid him
16:7	But go tell his disciples and Peter that he is going beforeahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him just as he told you
16:8	AndSo they went out and fled from the tomb; for tremblingterror and astonishmentamazement had comeseized upon them; and they said nothing to anyanyone one for they were afraid [And all that had been commanded them they told briefly to those around Peter And afterward Jesus himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation]
16:9	[Now whenafter he rose early on the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Mag′daleneMagdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons
16:10	She went out and told those who had been with him aswhile they mournedwere mourning and weptweeping
16:14	AfterwardLater he appeared to the eleven themselves as they satwere sitting at the table; and he upbraided them for their unbelieflack andof hardnessfaith ofand heartstubbornness because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen
16:15	And he said to them Go into all the world and preachproclaim the gospelgood news to the whole creation
16:16	HeThe one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but hethe one who does not believe will be condemned
16:17	And these signs will accompany those who believe: inby using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
16:18	they will pick up serpentssnakes in their hands and if they drink any deadly thing it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover
16:20	And they went forthout and preachedproclaimed the good news everywhere while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attendedaccompanied it Amen]
