16 then, let them who are in Judea flee to the borders:

17 let not him who is on the housetop, come down to take the things out of his house;

18 neither let him who is in the field, turn back to take his garment:

19 but, wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 and pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, nor on the sabbath day;

21 for then will be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever will be:

22 and, unless those days were shortened, no flesh could be saved; but, for the chosen's sake, those days will be shortened.

23 Then, if any one shall say to you, Lo, Christ is here, or there; believe him not:

24 for, false Christs and false prophets will arise, and shew great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the chosen :

25 behold, I have told you before.

26 If, therefore, they say to you, Lo, he is in the desert; go not forth Lo, he is in the secret chambers; believe them not:

27 for, as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth

even to the west; so will the coming of the Son of man be: 28 wheresoever the carcass Luke, xvii.37. is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken :

30 and then will appear the sign, of the Son of man in heaven.

31 And then will all the tribes of the earth wail, when they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory: 32 and he will send his angels with a loud sound of a 1 Thess. trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

33 And learn ye a parable from the fig-tree; when its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

34 so likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors:

iv. 16.

35 verily I tell you, This c. xxiii. 34. generation will not pass away, till all these things are fulfilled :

36 heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not

pass away.

37 But, of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, neither can know, but my Father only.

38 For, as were the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of man :

39 for, as in those days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark;

40 and knew not, until the flood came which took them all way; so also will be the coming of the Son of man:

41 then will two men be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left:

42 two women will be grinding at the mill; the one will be taken, and the other left.

Luke, xii. 35. 43 Watch, therefore: for ye know not in what day your

Lord cometh :

44 but this ye know, that if the master of the house knew in what watch the thief would come, he would watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken into:

45 wherefore, be ye also ready; for, in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

46 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord setteth over his household, to give them their food in due season?

47 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing:

48 verily I tell you, that he will set him over all his goods.

49 But, if the evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

50 and shall begin to smite. his fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken;

51 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he expecteth him not, and in an hour which he knoweth not;

52 and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

CHAPTER XXV.

THEN will the kingdom of

heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom:

2 and five of them were wise, but five were foolish;

3 for the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them :

4 but the wise took oil in their vessels, along with their lamps :

5 and because the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept:

6 But, at midnight was a cry,

Behold the bridegroom com-
eth! go ye out to meet him.
7 Then, all those virgins arose,
and trimmed their lamps:

8 and the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil; for our lamps are gone out:

9 but the wise answered, saying, Nay; lest there be not enough for both us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they were gone to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was locked.

11 Afterward, came also the Luke, xiii. 25. other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us :

who had received two, gained other two:

18 but he who had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19 And after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them:

20 and he who had received the five talents came, and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst to me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents:

21 his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 And he, also, who had received the two talents came, and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents: 23 his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 But when he who had received the one talent came, he 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

E

:

which is thine:

earth lo, thou hast here that ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

26 and his lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and idle servant, knewest thou that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not strawed?

27 thou oughtest, therefore, to have put out my money to the exchangers, and at my coming I should have received my own with interest:

28 take from him, therefore, the talent, and give it to him who hath the ten talents:

29 for, to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but, from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away:

30 and cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outward darkness there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

31 And so, when the Son of man cometh in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory:

32 and all nations will be gathered before him; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:

33 and he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.

34 Then will the king say to them on his right hand, Come,

[blocks in formation]

37 Then will the just answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee to drink?

38 when saw we thee a stranger, and brought thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? 40 and the King will answer and say to them, Verily I tell you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it

to me.

41 Then will he say also to them on his left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 for I was hungry, and ye gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me not to drink :

43 I was a stranger and ye brought me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and

in prison, and ye visited me

not.

44 Then will they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?

45 then will he answer them, saying, Verily I tell 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 to eternal punishment: but the just to life eternal.

CHAPTER XXVI.

AND it came to pass, when

Jesus had ended all these words, that he said to his disciples,

2 Ye know, that after two days is the passover, when the Son of man is delivered to be crucified.

3 Then the chief priests, and the elders of the people, assembled at the court of the high priest, called Caiaphas : 4 and they consulted, that they might take Jesus by craft, and kill him:

5 but they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be a tumult among the people.

6 (Now, whilst Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 a woman having an ala

[ocr errors]

baster box of very precious ointment, came to him, and poured it all on his head, as he sat at table:

8 but when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, For what purpose is this

waste?

9 for this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 But Jesus knowing it, said to them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath done a good deed towards me:

11 for ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always:

12 for, in pouring this ointment on my body, she hath done it towards my burial:

13 verily I tell you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, this also, that she hath done, shall be told for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas, the Iscariot, went to the chief priests,

15 and said, What will ye give me, that I should deliver him to you? And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver:

16 and from that time he sought an opportunity to betray him.)
