to him, "Grant us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory." 38 But Jesus said to them, "Ye know not what ye ask can ye drink of the cup of which I am to drink? and be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?" 39 And they said to him, "We can." And Jesus said to them, "Ye will drink indeed of the cup of which I am to drink; and will be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized: 40 but, to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared."

41 And the ten hearing this, began to be moved with indignation against James and John. 42 But Jesus, having called them together, said to them, "Ye know that those who rule over the gentiles have dominion over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But it shall not be so among you but whosoever desireth to be great among you, must be your servant: 44 and whosoever of you, desireth to be chief, must be the slave of all. 45 For even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.

49 And Jesus stopping, ordered him to be called: and they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be encouraged, rise; he calleth thee." 50 And casting away his mantle, he rose up, and went to Jesus 51 And Jesus speaking, said to him, "What dost thou wish me to do for thee?" Then the blind man said to him, "Mas ter, that I may receive my sight." 52 And Jesus said to him, "Go: thy faith hath res tored thee." And immediately he received his sight, and fol lowed him on the road.

CH. XI. 1 AND when they drew near to Jerusalem, being come as far as Bethphage, an Bethany, near the mount Olives, he sent two of his disci ples, and said to them, 2 "G into the town, over-against you and immediately as ye ente into it, ye will find a colt tied whereon no

9 And those who went before, and those who followed, shouted, [saying,] "Hosanna:

Blessed be he who cometh in the name of the Lord. 10 Happy be the approaching reign of our father David: Hosanna in the highest." 11 And [Jesus] entered into Jerusalem, [even] into the temple: and having surveyed all things round about, it being late, he departed, with the twelve, to Bethany.

20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered away from the roots. 21 Whereupon Peter recollecting, said to him, "Master, behold the fig-tree, which thou hast devoted, already withered." 22 And Jesus answering, said to them, "Have faith in God. 23 For verily I tell you, Whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;' and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith will come to pass; he shall have [whatsoever he saith;] 24 for which reason, I tell you, All things whatsoever ye ask when ye pray,believe that ye will receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have

12 AND on the morrow, on their coming from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing a fig-tree at a distance, full of leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, (for the season for the gathering of figs was not come,) but on coming to it, he found nothing but leaves. 14 Whereupon he said to it; "Henceforth let no one eat fruit of thee to the age." And his disciples heard it. 15 AND they came to Jeru-aught against any: Then also salem and going into the your Father in heaven, will fortemple, he began to drive out give you your trespasses. 26 those who sold and bought in But if ye do not forgive, the temple: and he overthrew neither will your Father in the tables of the money-chang-heaven, forgive your trespasses. ers, and the seats of those who 27 AND they again came to sold doves; 16 and would not Jerusalem : and as he was suffer any one to carry a vessel walking in the temple, there through the temple. 17 He also came to him, the chief-priests,

and the scribes, and the elders; 28 and said to him, "By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, to do these things?" 29 And Jesus answering, said to them, "I will also ask you one question; now answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 'Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?' answer me."

6" Now having an only son, beloved [by him,] he, at last, sent him also to them, saying, They will reverence my son.' 7 But those husbandmen said amongst themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 So they laid hold on him, and having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him. 9 What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

31 And they reasoned amongst themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did ye not believe him ? 32 But if we say, 'From men; they feared the people: for all men accounted John to be a prophet indeed. 33 And they answering, said to Jesus, "We cannot tell." And Jesus answering, said to them, "Nei-is the Lord's doing; and it is ther do I tell you by what authority I do these things."

CH. XII. 1 And he commenced talking to them in parables, "A certain man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge about it, and digged a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into another country. 2 And, at the season, he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 And again, he sent to them another servant : and [by casting stones,] they wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. 5 And he sent another; and him they

13 THEN they sent to him some of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in discourse. 14 And having come, they said to him, "Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the persons of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not? shall we give, or shall we not give?"

15 But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them "Why do ye try me ? bring me a denarius, that I may see it." 16

And they brought it: and he said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" And they said to him, "Cesar's." 17 And Jesus answering, said to them, "Render to Cesar, the things of Cesar, and to God, the things of God." And they wondered at him.

28 Then one of the scribes approached, and, having heard them reasoning together, and 18 Then the Sadducees came perceiving that he had answerto him, who say that there is ed them well, asked him, no resurrection; and they ask-" Which is the first commanded him, saying, 19 "Teacher, ment of all?" 29 And Jesus anMoses hath written to us: If swered him, "The first coma man's brother die, and leave mandment of all is, 'Hear, O behind a wife, but leave no Israel; The Lord is our God: children, that his brother should the Lord is one: 30 and thou take his wife, and raise up off-shalt love the Lord thy God spring to his brother.' 20 Now with all thy heart, and with all there were seven brethren : and thy soul, and with all thy mind, the first took a wife, and, dying, and with all thy strength.'

23" In the resurrection,[therefore,] when they shall arise from the dead, whose wife of them will she be? for the seven had her as their wife." 24 Then Jesus answering, said to them, "Do ye not err concerning this matter, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they shall arise from the dead, there will be neither marrying, nor giving in marriage: but they will be as the angels in heaven.

26"But concerning the dead, that they shall rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how, at the bush, God spake to

32 And the scribe said to him, "In truth, Master, thou hast said well for there is one; and there is none other but he: 33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." 34 And Jesus observing how discreetly he answered, said to him, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." And no one, after that, durst interrogate him.

35 Then, as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he asked

them, "How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? 36 For David himself, speaking by a holy spirit, said, Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' 37 David [therefore] himself, calleth him Lord: how is he then his son ?" And the common people heard him gladly.

"Seest thou these great buildings? there will not be left one stone upon another, which will not be thrown down."

3 And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, overagainst the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign, when all 38 Then he said to them, in these things are about to be achis teaching, "Beware of the complished? 5 And Jesus anscribes, who like to walk in swering them, began to say, robes, 39 and love salutations in "Take heed that no one deceive the market-places, and the chief you: 6 For many will come in seats in the synagogues, and my name, saying, 'I am the the chief places at feasts: 40 person;' and will deceive many. who devour widows' houses, 7 "But when ye shall hear of and for a show make long pray-wars, and rumours of wars, be ers: these will receive a great- not troubled: for these things er punishment.' must come to pass; but the end will not be yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in many places, and there will be famines [and tumults.] 9 These things are the beginnings of sorrows.

41 AND Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury and many who were rich put in much. 42 And a certain [poor] widow came, and put in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And having called his disciples, he said to them, "Verily I tell you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all who have put into the treasury: 44 for all they have contributed out of their abundance: but she out of her poverty hath given all that she had, even her whole living."
