began, and cast out the sellers and buyers of the temple; and the tables of the changers, and the seats of the sellers of doves, he overthrew.

And would not suffer any man to carry any thing through the temple.

And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, I pray thee? My house shall be called a house of prayer unto all people? But ye have made it a den of thieves.

And he came before the scribes and chief priests, and they sought how they might destroy him. And they feared him: for all the people marvelled at his doctrine.

And in the evening he went out of the city.

And in the morning they passed by, and saw the fig tree withered to the root.

And Peter remembered it, and said unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered.

And JEsus answered and said unto them: Have faith in GOD!

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Lift up thyself, and cast thee into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith shall be done, so shall it be done unto him.

Therefore I say unto you: Whatsoever ye shall ask in your prayers, believe that ye shall receive it, and it shall be done unto you.

And when ye stand praying, if ye have anything against any man, forgive him; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

But if ye forgive not, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

And they came again to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came unto him.

And they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee authority to do them?

But JEsus answered and said unto them: I also will ask you one word; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

John’s baptism, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me!

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say that she was from heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

But if we say that it was of men, we are afraid of the people. For they all thought that John was a true prophet.

And they answered and said unto JEsu, We know it not. And JEsu answered and said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
(Mark)
Chapter 12
Of the vineyard, the interest, the resurrection, the most noble commandment, the Messiah, the scribes and the poor widow.

And he began to speak unto them by parables, saying, A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round about it, and digged a winepress, and built a tower, and put it out of the vineyards, and went over the country.

And when the time was come, he sent a servant unto the husbandmen, to take of the
husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

And they took him, and thrust him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent unto them another servant, and they smote him on the head with stones, and put him to shame.

And once he sent another, and they slew him; and many others: some they overthrew, and some they slew.

And he had an only son, which was dear unto him: him also he sent unto them at the last, saying, They shall be afraid of my son.

But the same husbandmen said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

And they took him, and slew him, and cast him out before the vineyard.

What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and kill the vine-growers and give the vineyard to others.

Neither have ye read this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected became the corner stone;

This is done of the LORD, and it is marvellous in our sight?

And they sought how they might lay hold on him, and yet were afraid of the people: for they heard that he had spoken this parable unto them. And they left him, and went away.

And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees, and of Herod’s servants, to take him in words.

And they came and said unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and askest after no man: for thou regardest not the reputation of men, but teachest the way of God aright. Is it right to give interest to Caesar, or not? Shall we give it, or shall we not give it?

And he perceived their hypocrisy, and said unto them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it.

And they brought him. And he said, Whose is the image and superscription? And they said unto him, The emperor’s.

Then answered JEsus, and said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto GOD the things that are GOD’s. And they were astonished.

Then came the Sadducees unto him, which say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, saying:

Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man’s brother die, and leave a wife, and have no children, his brother shall take his brother’s wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now there were seven brethren. The first took a wife; he died, and left no seed.

And the other took them, and died, and left no seed. The third of the same kind.

And they took all seven, and left no seed. And at the last the woman died after them all.

Now in the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife shall she be among them? For seven have they had for wives.

Then answered JEsus, and said unto them: Is it not so? Ye err therefore, because ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God.

When they shall rise from the dead, they shall not be free, neither shall they be given liberty; but they shall be as the angels which are in heaven.

But of the dead, that they should rise again, have ye not read in the book of Moses by the bush, How God said unto him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

But God is not God of the dead, but God of the living. Therefore ye greatly err.

And there came unto him one of the scribes, which had heard them as they consulted one with another, and saw that he had answered them well, and asked him, Which is the chiefest commandment above all?

And JESUS said unto him, The chiefest commandment above all commandments is this, Hear, O Israel; the LORD our God is one God.

And, Thou shalt love God thy Lord with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the most noble commandment.

And the other is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no other commandment greater than these.

And the scribe said unto him, Master, thou hast indeed spoken rightly: for there is one God, and there is none else beside him.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than burnt offering and sacrifice.

And when JE saw that he answered reasonably, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of GOD. And no one was allowed to ask him any further questions.

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

And he, David, saith by the Holy Ghost: The LORD hath said unto my LORD, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

And David called him his lord: whence then is he his son? And much people heard him gladly.

And he taught them, and said unto them, Beware of the scribes, which walk in long robes, and love to be saluted in the marketplace.

and like to sit on top in the schools and over table in the Lord’s Supper; 40. They devour widows’ houses, and make long prayers: they shall receive the more damnation.

And JESUS sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people put money into the treasury. And many rich men put in much.

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

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

For they have all put away of the rest of their substance: but this woman of her poverty hath put away all that she had, all her food.
(Mark)
Chapter 13
Of the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the end of the world.

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, behold, what manner of stones and what building is this!

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Seest thou all this great building? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be broken.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew in particular asked him:

Tell us, when shall all these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be accomplished?

Jesus answered them, and began to say, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come under my name, saying, I am
