the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.
42:021:007 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?
42:021:008 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.
42:021:009 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.
42:021:010 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:
42:021:011 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven.
42:021:012 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.
42:021:013 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
42:021:014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before
what ye shall answer:
42:021:015 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
42:021:016 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.
42:021:017 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
42:021:018 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
42:021:019 In your patience possess ye your souls.
42:021:020 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then
know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
42:021:021 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.
42:021:022 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
written may be fulfilled.
42:021:023 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.
42:021:024 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.
42:021:025 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;
42:021:026 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.
42:021:027 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.
42:021:028 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
42:021:029 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all
the trees;
42:021:030 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves
that summer is now nigh at hand.
42:021:031 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye
that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
42:021:032 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,
till all be fulfilled.
42:021:033 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
away.
42:021:034 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.
42:021:035 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth.
42:021:036 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.
42:021:037 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.
42:021:038 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
temple, for to hear him.
42:022:001 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called
the Passover.
42:022:002 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill
him; for they feared the people.
42:022:003 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the
number of the twelve.
42:022:004 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and
captains, how he might betray him unto them.
42:022:005 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
42:022:006 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto
them in the absence of the multitude.
42:022:007 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must
be killed.
42:022:008 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the
passover, that we may eat.
42:022:009 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
42:022:010 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the
city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house where he entereth in.
42:022:011 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat
the passover with my disciples?
42:022:012 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make
ready.
42:022:013 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.
42:022:014 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
apostles with him.
42:022:015 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this
passover with you before I suffer:
42:022:016 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it
be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
42:022:017 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and
divide it among yourselves:
42:022:018 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
until the kingdom of God shall come.
42:022:019 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave
unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
42:022:020 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the
new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
42:022:021 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on
the table.
42:022:022 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe
unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
42:022:023 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it
was that should do this thing.
42:022:024 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest.
42:022:025 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them
are called benefactors.
42:022:026 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let
him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth
serve.
42:022:027 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as
he that serveth.
42:022:028 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
42:022:029 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed
unto me;
42:022:030 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit
on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
42:022:031 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to
have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
42:022:032 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
42:022:033 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both
into prison, and to death.
42:022:034 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this
day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
42:022:035 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and
scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
42:022:036 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him
take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword,
let him sell his garment, and buy one.
42:022:037 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be
accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the
transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
42:022:038 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said
unto them, It is enough.
42:022:039 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of
Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
42:022:040 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye
enter not into temptation.
42:022:041 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and
kneeled down, and prayed,
42:022:042 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
42:022:043 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
42:022:044 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat
was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the
ground.
42:022:045 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
42:022:046 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter
into temptation.
42:022:047 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.
42:022:048 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man
with a kiss?
42:022:049 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they
said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
42:022:050 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut
off his right ear.
42:022:051 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
touched his ear, and healed him.
42:022:052 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the
temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come
out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
42:022:053 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no
hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of
darkness.
42:022:054 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high
priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
42:022:055 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and
were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
42:022:056 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and
earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with
him.
42:022:057 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
42:022:058 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art
also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
42:022:059 And about the space of one hour after another confidently
affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him:
for he is a Galilaean.
42:022:060 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
42:022:061 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
42:022:062 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
42:022:063 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
42:022:064 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the
face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote
thee?
42:022:065 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
42:022:066 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the
chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into
their council, saying,
42:022:067 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell
you, ye will not believe:
42:022:068 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
42:022:069 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the
power of God.
42:022:070 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said
unto them, Ye say that I am.
42:022:071 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we
ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
42:023:001 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate.
42:023:002 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow
perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to
Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
42:023:003 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
42:023:004 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I
find no fault in this man.
42:023:005 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the
people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee
to this place.
42:023:006 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a
Galilaean.
42:023:007 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at
Jerusalem at that time.
42:023:008 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was
desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard
many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle
done by him.
42:023:009 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him
nothing.
42:023:010 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused
him.
42:023:011 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked
him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to
Pilate.
42:023:012 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together:
for before they were at enmity between themselves.
42:023:013 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and
the rulers and the people,
42:023:014 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him
before you, have found no fault in this man touching those
things whereof ye accuse him:
42:023:015 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing
worthy of death is done unto him.
42:023:016 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
42:023:017 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
42:023:018 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man,
and release unto us Barabbas:
42:023:019 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder,
was cast into prison.)
42:023:020 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to
them.
42:023:021 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
42:023:022 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he
done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore
chastise him, and let him go.
42:023:023 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he
might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief
priests prevailed.
42:023:024 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
42:023:025 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was
cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered
Jesus to their will.
42:023:026 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the
cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
42:023:027 And there followed him a great company of people, and of
women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
42:023:028 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
42:023:029 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the
paps which never gave suck.
42:023:030 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and
to the hills, Cover us.
42:023:031 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be
done in the dry?
42:023:032 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be
put to death.
42:023:033 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left.
42:023:034 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
42:023:035 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if
he be Christ, the chosen of God.
42:023:036 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
him vinegar,
42:023:037 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
42:023:038 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of
Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
42:023:039 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
42:023:040 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
42:023:041 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42:023:042 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.
42:023:043 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
thou be with me in paradise.
42:023:044 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over
all the earth until the ninth hour.
42:023:045 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent
in the midst.
42:023:046 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,
into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he
gave up the ghost.
42:023:047 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
42:023:048 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding
the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
42:023:049 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
42:023:050 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and
he was a good man, and a just:
42:023:051 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;)
he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself
waited for the kingdom of God.
42:023:052 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
42:023:053 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid.
42:023:054 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
42:023:055 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
42:023:056 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
42:024:001 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they
had prepared, and certain others with them.
42:024:002 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
42:024:003 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
42:024:004 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
42:024:005 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the
earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the
dead?
42:024:006 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,
42:024:007 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
42:024:008 And they remembered his words,
42:024:009 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
42:024:010 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.
42:024:011 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.
42:024:012 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping
down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
42:024:013 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
furlongs.
42:024:014 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.
42:024:015 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
42:024:016 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
42:024:017 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
42:024:018 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
42:024:019 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all the people:
42:024:020 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
42:024:021 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since
these things were done.
42:024:022 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre;
42:024:023 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they
had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was
alive.
42:024:024 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre,
and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw
not.
42:024:025 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have spoken:
42:024:026 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter
into his glory?
42:024:027 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto
them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
42:024:028 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he
made as though he would have gone further.
42:024:029 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is
toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to
tarry with them.
42:024:030 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
42:024:031 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished
out of their sight.
42:024:032 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within
us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to
us the scriptures?
42:024:033 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and
found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with
them,
42:024:034 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
42:024:035 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread.
42:024:036 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
42:024:037 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they
had seen a spirit.
42:024:038 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?
42:024:039 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,
and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
have.
42:024:040 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his
feet.
42:024:041 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42:024:042 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.
42:024:043 And he took it, and did eat before them.
42:024:044 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto
you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the
prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
42:024:045 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand
the scriptures,
42:024:046 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
42:024:047 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
42:024:048 And ye are witnesses of these things.
42:024:049 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with
power from on high.
