25 it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God:

26 and they were more exceedingly amazed, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

27 but Jesus looking on them, saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for, with God, all things are possible.

28 Then Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee:

29 and Jesus answered and said, Verily I tell you, There is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

30 who will not now, in this time, receive an hundredfold for houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and, in the world to come, eternal life:

31 but, many that are now first, will be last; and the last, first.

3 saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles;

4 and they will mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him: but, after three days, he will rise again. 5 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us what we shall ask :

6 and he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?

7 they said to him, Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

8 But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup of which I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?

9 and they say to him, We are able and Jesus said to them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup of which I drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, ye shall be baptized:

10 but, to sit on my right hand and on my left hand, is not mine to give; except to them for whom it is prepared.

11 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John:

12 but Jesus, calling them to him, saith to them, Ye know, that they who are accounted worthy to rule over the Gentiles, exercise lordship over them; and their great ones employ authority against them:

13 but, it is not so among you: but whoever among you would be great, shall be your minister:

14 and whoever of you would be first, shall be servant of all: 15 for, even the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 16 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a blind man, Bartimeus the son of Timeus, was sitting by the way-side begging: 17 and hearing that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to cry out, and to say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy

on me!

18 and many charged him to be silent: but he cried out much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 19 And Jesus stopped, and said, Call ye him and they

call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee:

20 and, casting away his gar

ment, he
ment, he sprang up, and came
to Jesus:

21 and Jesus answered and said to him, What wilt thou that I should do to thee? the blind man said to him, Rabboni (that is to say, my Lord), that I may see:

22 and Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath cured thee: Luke, xviii. and immediately he saw, and followed Jesus on the way.

CHAPTER XIII.

ND when they were come

AN

near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples: 2 and saith to them, Go to the village which is over against you; and as soon as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man hath ever yet sat; loose it, and bring it:

3 and if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say ye, that the Lord hath need of it; and he will straightway send it hither.

4 And they went, and found a colt tied at a door, without, in the street; and they loose it:

5 and some of those that stood there said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

42.

6 and they said to them as Jesus had commanded them: and they let them go.

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on it; and he sat upon it:

8 and many spread their garments on the way and others, boughs which they had cut out of the fields:

9 and they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,

10 Hosanna!" Blessed is he "who cometh, in the name "of the Lord!" Blessed is the kingdom that cometh in the name of the LORD of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!

11 And he entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round on every thing, it being now late, he went out to Bethany, with the twelve.

12 And on the morrow, when they came out from Bethany, he hungred:

13 and seeing, at a distance, a fig-tree which had leaves, he went to it, as if he might perhaps find something on it; but when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves: for it was not the season of figs:

14 and he answered and said to it, No one eat fruit from thee any more, for ever! and his disciples heard him.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple; and he overturned the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves:

16 and he would not suffer

any one to carry a vessel through the temple:

17 and he taught them, and said, Is it not written, "My Is. Ivi. 7. "house shall be called a house "of prayer for all nations?" but, ye have made it “ a den Jer. vii. 11.

"of thieves:"

18 and the chief priests and the scribes heard him, and sought how they might destroy him for they feared him, because all the multitude was smitten with his doctrine : 19 and when it was evening, he went out of the city.

20 And as they passed by, early in the morning, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots:

21 and Peter remembering, saith to him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is withered away!

22 and Jesus answering, saith to them, Have faith in God: 23 for verily I tell you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the thing

which he saith will be done, it will be done for him:

24 therefore I say to you, Whatsoever things ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and they will be given to you:

25 but, when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have any thing against any one: that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your trespasses.

26 And they go again into Jerusalem and, as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, come to him; 27 and they said to him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldst do these things?

28 And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one question; and, if ye answer me, I also will tell by what authority I do these things:

you

29 was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?

answer me:

30 and they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

31 but if we say, From men; they feared the people: for they all held that John was truly a prophet:

32 and they answered and said to Jesus, We know not: and Jesus answering, saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

CHAPTER XIV.

Luke, xx. 16.

AND he began to speak to Matt. xxi. 33. them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, and raised a fence round it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went to another country: 2 and, at the season, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard:

3 and they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty: 4 and he sent to them again, another servant ; and they struck him on the head, and insulted him:

5 and he sent another, and him they killed, and he sent many others; and some they beat, and some they killed.

6 He had yet one beloved son him he sent to them the last, saying, They will respect my son:

7 but those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be

ours:

8 and they took him, and
