And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort: arise, he calleth thee. 50 Who casting off his garment leaped up, and came to him, 51 And JESUS answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni, that I may see. 52 And JESUS saith to him: Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw, | off a fig-tree having leaves, he came, and followed him in the way. CHAP. XI. Christ enters into Jerusalem, &c. if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For AND when they were drawing it was not the time for figs. near to Jerusalem and to Bethania at the mount of olives he sendeth two of his disciples, 2 And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any man shall say to you, What are you doing? say ye that the Lord hath need of him: and immediately he will let him come hither. 4 And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without in the meeting of two ways: and they loose him. 5 And some of them that stood there, said to them: What do you loosing the colt? 6 Who said to them as JESUS had commanded them; and they let him go with them. 7 And they brought the colt to JESUS; and they lay their garments on him, and he sat upon him. 8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees, and strewed 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, Hosanna in the highest. 11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the even tide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve. 12 And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry. 13 And when he had seen afar 14 And answering, he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it. 15 And they come to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves. 16 And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple; 17 And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves. 18 Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine. 19 And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city. 20 And when they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig-tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away. 22 And JESUS answering saith to them: Have the faith of God. 23 Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done: it shall be done unto him. 24 Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you. 25 And when you shall stand to beat him, and sent him away empty. pray forgive, if you have ought 4 And again he sent to them against any man; that your Father another servant; and him they also, who is in heaven, may forgive wounded in the head, and used him you your sins, reproachfully. 26 But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins. 27 And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. 28 And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things? 29 And JESUS answering said to them: I will also ask you one word, and answer you me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John was it from heaven, or from men? An swer me. 5 And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed. 6 Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son. 7 But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come, let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours. 8 And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others. 10 And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the build31 But they thought with them-ers rejected, the same is made the selves saying: If we say, from head of the corner : heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32 If we say, from men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed. 33 And they answering say to JESUS: We know not. And JESUS answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. CHAP. XII. The parable of the vineyard, &c. A ND he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the wine fat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country. 2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen, of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 Who having laid hands on him, 11 By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. 12 And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him they went their way. 13 And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians; that they should catch him in his words. 14 Who coming, say to him : Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar; or shall we not give it? 15 Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? bring me a penny that I may see it. 16 And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image, and inscription? They which was the first commandment say to him, Cesar's. 17 And JESUS answering, said to them: Render therefore to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 18 And there came to him the Sadducees who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him saying: of all. 29 And JESUS answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God. 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment. * 19 Master, Moses wrote unto 31 And the second is like to it. us, that if any man's brother die, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as and leave his wife behind him, and thyself.

God. And no man after that, durst ask him any question. 24 And JESUS answering saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. 35 And JESUS answering said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David? 36 For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool. 26 And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in 37 David therefore himself callthe bush God spoke to him, saying: eth him Lord, and whence is he I am the God of Abraham, and then his son?

CHAP. XIII. Christ foretells the destruction of the AN 2 And JESUS answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart: 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled. 5 And JESUS answering, began to say to them, Take heed lest any man deceive you. 6 For many shall come in my name saying I am he and they shall deceive many. 7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against king mines. These things are the beginning of sorrows. 9 But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils,and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand be fore governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them. 10 And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached. 11 And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful before-hand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12 And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and the children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death. 13 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved. 14. And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not he that readeth, let him understand: then let them that are in Judea, flee unto the mountains: 15 And let him that is on the house-top, not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house : 16 And let him that shall be in the field, not turn back to take up his garment. 17 And wo to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days. 18 But pray ye, that these things happen not in winter. 19 For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had |
