The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

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

David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,

and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:

they that devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.

And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.

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

for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.

And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!

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

And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?

And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

Many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and shall lead many astray.

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: [these things] must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail.

But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.

And when they lead you [to judgment], and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains:

and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house:

and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

And pray ye that it be not in the winter.

For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.

And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe [it] not:

for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.

But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

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

and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.

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

And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;

even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.

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

But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

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

[It is] as [when] a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;

lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Now after two days was [the feast of] the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:

for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly; [and] she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head.

But there were some that had indignation among themselves, [saying], To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?

For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

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

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

She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them.

And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him [unto them].

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?

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

and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished [and] ready: and there make ready for us.

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

And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve.

And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, [even] he that eateth with me.

They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?

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

For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body.

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

And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.

Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.

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

And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, [even] this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.

But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.

And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch.

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

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

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

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

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.

Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him.

And they laid hands on him, and took him.

But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

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

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but [this is done] that the scriptures might be fulfilled.

And they all left him, and fled.

And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over [his] naked [body]: and they lay hold on him;

but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
