- Matthew 21:1-9
- 1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage,
- unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
- 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
- straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them,
- and bring them unto me.
- 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need
- of them; and straightway he will send them.
- 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
- the prophet, saying,
- 5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
- meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
- 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
- 7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes,
- and they set him thereon.
- 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others
- cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
- 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
- saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the
- name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. (KJV)
-
- Mark 11:1-10
- 1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at
- the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
- 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you:
- and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied,
- whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
- 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord
- hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
- 4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without
- in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
- 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye,
- loosing the colt?
- 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let
- them go.
- 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him;
- and he sat upon him.
- 8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down
- branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
- 9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,
- Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
- 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name
- of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. (KJV)
-
- Luke 19:29-40
- 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany,
- at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
- 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at
- your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat:
- loose him, and bring him hither.
- 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto
- him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
- 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had
- said unto them.
- 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto
- them, Why loose ye the colt?
- 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
- 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the
- colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
- 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
- 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of
- Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and
- praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had
- seen;
- 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord:
- peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
- 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,
- Master, rebuke thy disciples.
- 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should
- hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. (KJV)
-
- John 12:12-19
- 12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they
- heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
- 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried,
- Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the
- Lord.
- 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is
- written,
- 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an
- ass's colt.
- 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when
- Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were
- written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
- 17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of
- his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
- 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he
- had done this miracle.
- 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye
- prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. (KJV)

- eyes.
- 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
- trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every

- Mark 11:12-14
- 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

- might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing
- but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
- 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
- hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. (KJV)

- sold doves;
- 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through

- 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall
- be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den
- of thieves.
- 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they
- might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was

- Luke 19:45-48

- Matthew 21:23-46
- 23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the
- elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By
- what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this
- authority?
- 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
- thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what
- authority I do these things.
- 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they
- reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will
- say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
- 26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John
- as a prophet.
- 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto
- them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
- 28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the
- first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
- 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and
- went.
- 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and
- said, I go, sir: and went not.
- 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him,
- The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the
- publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
- 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed
- him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when
- ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
- 33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted
- a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it,
- and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far
- country:
- 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to
- the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
- 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
- another, and stoned another.
- 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto
- them likewise.
- 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
- reverence my son.
- 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves,
- This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his
- inheritance.
- 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
- 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto
- those husbandmen?
- 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and
- will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him
- the fruits in their seasons.
- 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The
- stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
- corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
- 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from
- you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
- 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
- whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
- 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables,
- they perceived that he spake of them.
- 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude,
- because they took him for a prophet. (KJV)
- Matthew 22:1-46
- 1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
- 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a
- marriage for his son,
- 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the
- wedding: and they would not come.
- 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are
- bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are
- killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
- 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm,
- another to his merchandise:
- 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully,
- and slew them.
- 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his
- armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
- 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which
- were bidden were not worthy.
- 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid
- to the marriage.
- 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together
- all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was
- furnished with guests.
- 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man
- which had not on a wedding garment:
- 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having
- a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
- 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take
- him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and
- gnashing of teeth.
- 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
- 15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle
- him in his talk.
- 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
- saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God
- in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the
- person of men.
- 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute
- unto Caesar, or not?
- 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye
- hypocrites?
- 19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
- 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
- 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
- therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the
- things that are God's.
- 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and
- went their way.
- 23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no
- resurrection, and asked him,
- 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his
- brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
- 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had
- married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his
- brother:
- 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
- 27 And last of all the woman died also.
- 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven?
- for they all had her.
- 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
- scriptures, nor the power of God.
- 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
- marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
- 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that
- which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
- 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
- God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
- 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
- doctrine.
- 34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to
- silence, they were gathered together.
- 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting
- him, and saying,
- 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
- 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
- heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
- 38 This is the first and great commandment.
- 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
- thyself.
- 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
- 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
- 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him,
- The Son of David.
- 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord,
- saying,
- 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make
- thine enemies thy footstool?
- 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
- 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from
- that day forth ask him any more questions. (KJV)
-
- Mark 11:27-33
- 27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the
- temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the
- elders,
- 28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who
- gave thee this authority to do these things?
- 29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one
- question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do
- these things.
- 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
- 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
- heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
- 32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men
- counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
- 33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus
- answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do
- these things. (KJV)
- Mark 12:1-37
- 1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a
- vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the
- winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into
- a far country.
- 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 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
- 4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast
- stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully
- handled.
- 5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others;
- beating some, and killing some.
- 6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last
- unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
- 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come,
- let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
- 8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
- 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and
- destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
- 10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders
- rejected is become the head of the corner:
- 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
- 12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they
- knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him,
- and went their way.
- 13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
- Herodians, to catch him in his words.
- 14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that
- thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person
- of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give
- tribute to Caesar, or not?
- 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their
- hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I
- may see it.
- 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
- superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
- 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that
- are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled
- at him.
- 18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
- resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
- 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his
- wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take
- his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
- 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying
- left no seed.
- 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the
- third likewise.
- 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died
- also.
- 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife
- shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
- 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because
- ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
- 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are
- given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
- 26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the
- book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God
- of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
- 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye
- therefore do greatly err.
- 28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
- together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him,
- Which is the first commandment of all?
- 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear,
- O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
- 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
- all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is
- the first commandment.
- 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
- as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
- 32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
- truth: for there is one God; 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 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.
- 35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say
- the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
- 36 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.
- 37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his
- son? And the common people heard him gladly. (KJV)
-
- Luke 20:1-44
- 1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the
- people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and
- the scribes came upon him with the elders,
- 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou
- these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
- 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing;
- and answer me:
- 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
- 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
- heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
- 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be
- persuaded that John was a prophet.
- 7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
- 8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do
- these things.
- 9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man
- planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far
- country for a long time.
- 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they
- should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat
- him, and sent him away empty.
- 11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and
- entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
- 12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him
- out.
- 13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my
- beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
- 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves,
- saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance
- may be ours.
- 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore
- shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
- 16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the
- vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
- 17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The
- stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
- corner?
- 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on
- whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
- 19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay
- hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he
- had spoken this parable against them.
- 20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign
- themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so
- they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
- 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and
- teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but

- 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
- 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye
- me?
- 24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They
- answered and said, Caesar's.
- 25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which
- be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
- 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and
- they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
- 27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is
- any resurrection; and they asked him,
- 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die,
- having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should
- take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
- 29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and
- died without children.
- 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
- 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they
- left no children, and died.
- 32 Last of all the woman died also.
- 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven
- had her to wife.
- 34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world
- marry, and are given in marriage:
- 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and
- the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
- marriage:
- 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels;
- and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
- 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he
- calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God
- of Jacob.
- 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live
- unto him.
- 39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well
- said.
- 40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
- 41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
- 42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my
- Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
- 43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
- 44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? (KJV)

- 1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
- 2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
- 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
- but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
- 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them
- on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of
- their fingers.
- 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad
- their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
- 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
- synagogues,
- 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
- 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and
- all ye are brethren.
- 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,
- which is in heaven.
- 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
- 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
- 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall
- humble himself shall be exalted.
- 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up
- the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves,
- neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
- 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour
- widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall
- receive the greater damnation.
- 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea
- and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
- twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
- 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by
- the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the
- temple, he is a debtor!
- 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple
- that sanctifieth the gold?
- 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
- whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
- 19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar
- that sanctifieth the gift?
- 20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all
- things thereon.
- 21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that
- dwelleth therein.
- 22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God,
- and by him that sitteth thereon.
- 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of
- mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of
- the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and
- not to leave the other undone.
- 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
- 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean
- the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of
- extortion and excess.
- 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and
- platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
- 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like
- unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are
- within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
- 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye
- are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
- 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build
- the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
- 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not
- have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
- 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children
- of them which killed the prophets.
- 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
- 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
- damnation of hell?
- 34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
- scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them
- shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to
- city:
- 35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,
- from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of
- Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

- generation.
- 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest

- children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her
- wings, and ye would not!

- 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
- 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
- 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;
- go ye out to meet him.
- 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
- 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our
- lamps are gone out.
- 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for
- us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
- 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were
- ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
- 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to
- us.
- 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
- 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein
- the Son of man cometh.
- 14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country,
- who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
- 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another
- one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway
- took his journey.
- 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the
- same, and made them other five talents.
- 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
- 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid
- his lord's money.
- 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth
- with them.
- 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five
- talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I
- have gained beside them five talents more.
- 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant:
- thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over
- many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
- 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou
- deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other
- talents beside them.
- 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou
- hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many
- things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
- 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I
- knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown,
- and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
- 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,
- there thou hast that is thine.
- 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful
- servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I
- have not strawed:
- 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and
- then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
- 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath
- ten talents.
- 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
- abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that
- which he hath.
- 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there
- shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels
- with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
- 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate
- them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
- 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the
- left.
- 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
- blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
- foundation of the world:
- 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
- gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
- 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
- prison, and ye came unto me.
- 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
- an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
- 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed
- thee?
- 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
- 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
- Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,
- ye have done it unto me.
- 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me,
- ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
- angels:
- 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
- gave me no drink:
- 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me
- not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
- 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
- hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
- and did not minister unto thee?
- 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch
- as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
- 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
- righteous into life eternal. (KJV)

- shall be.
- 20 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.
- 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he

- elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the
- uttermost part of heaven.
- 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender,
- and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
- 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass,
- know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
- 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
- these things be done.
- 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
- 32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
- which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
- 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
- 34 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.
- 35 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:
- 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
- 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. (KJV)

- Luke 21:5-38
- 5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly
- stones and gifts, he said,
- 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the
- which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be
- thrown down.
- 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be?
- and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
- 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come
- in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not
- therefore after them.
- 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for
- these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
- 10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
- kingdom against kingdom:
- 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and
- pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from
- heaven.
- 12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
- persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons,
- being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
- 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
- 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye
- shall answer:
- 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
- shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
- 16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
- kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to
- death.
- 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
- 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
- 19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
- 20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know
- that the desolation thereof is nigh.
- 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let
- them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are
- in the countries enter thereinto.
- 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
- written may be fulfilled.
- 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck,
- in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath
- upon this people.
- 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
- captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
- Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
- 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
- stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea
- and the waves roaring;
- 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those
- things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be
- shaken.
- 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power
- and great glory.
- 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift
- up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
- 29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the
- trees;
- 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that
- summer is now nigh at hand.
- 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that
- the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
- 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all
- be fulfilled.
- 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
- 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
- overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,
- and so that day come upon you unawares.
- 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of
- the whole earth.
- 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy
- to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before
- the Son of man.
- 37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he
- went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
- 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple,
- for to hear him. (KJV)
