Chapter 4

41:012:035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

41:012:036 For 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.

41:012:037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

41:012:038 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

41:012:039 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

41:012:040 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

41:012:041 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

41:012:042 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

41:012:043 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

41:012:044 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

41:013:001 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

41:013:002 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

41:013:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

41:013:004 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

41:013:005 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

41:013:006 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

41:013:007 And 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.

41:013:008 For 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.

41:013:009 But 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.

41:013:010 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

41:013:011 But 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.

41:013:012 Now 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.

41:013:013 And 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.

41:013:014 But 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:

41:013:015 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

41:013:016 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

41:013:017 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

41:013:018 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

41:013:019 For 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.

41:013:020 And 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.

41:013:021 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

41:013:022 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

41:013:023 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

41:013:024 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

41:013:025 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

41:013:026 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

41:013:027 And 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.

41:013:028 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

41:013:029 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

41:013:030 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

41:013:031 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

41:013:032 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

41:013:033 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

41:013:034 For 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.

41:013:035 Watch 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:

41:013:036 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

41:013:037 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

41:014:001 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

41:014:002 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

41:014:003 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

41:014:004 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

41:014:005 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

41:014:006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

41:014:007 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

41:014:008 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

41:014:009 Verily 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.

41:014:010 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

41:014:011 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

41:014:012 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

41:014:013 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

41:014:014 And 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?

41:014:015 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

41:014:016 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

41:014:017 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

41:014:018 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

41:014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

41:014:020 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

41:014:021 The 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.

41:014:022 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

41:014:023 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

41:014:024 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

41:014:025 Verily 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.

41:014:026 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

41:014:027 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

41:014:028 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

41:014:029 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

41:014:030 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

41:014:031 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

41:014:032 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

41:014:033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

41:014:034 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.

41:014:035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

41:014:036 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

41:014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

41:014:038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

41:014:039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

41:014:040 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

41:014:041 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

41:014:042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

41:014:043 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

41:014:044 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

41:014:045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

41:014:046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

41:014:047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

41:014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

41:014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

41:014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.

41:014:051 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

41:014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

41:014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

41:014:054 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

41:014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

41:014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

41:014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

41:014:058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

41:014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.

41:014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

41:014:061 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

41:014:062 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

41:014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

41:014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

41:014:065 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

41:014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

41:014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

41:014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

41:014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

41:014:070 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

41:014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

41:014:072 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

41:015:001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

41:015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

41:015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

41:015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

41:015:005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

41:015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

41:015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

41:015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

41:015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

41:015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

41:015:011 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

41:015:012 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

41:015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

41:015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

41:015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

41:015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

41:015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

41:015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

41:015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

41:015:020 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

41:015:021 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

41:015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

41:015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

41:015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

41:015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

41:015:026 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

41:015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

41:015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

41:015:029 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

41:015:030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

41:015:031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

41:015:032 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

41:015:033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

41:015:034 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

41:015:035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

41:015:036 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

41:015:037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

41:015:038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

41:015:039 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

41:015:040 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41:015:041 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

41:015:042 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

41:015:043 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

41:015:044 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

41:015:045 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

41:015:046 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

41:015:047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

41:016:001 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

41:016:002 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

41:016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

41:016:004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

41:016:005 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

41:016:006 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
