And
I say unto you,
That many
shall come
from the east
and west,
and shall sit down
with Abraham,
and Isaac,
and Jacob,
in the kingdom
of heaven.
But the children
of the kingdom
shall be cast out
into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping
and gnashing
of teeth.
But
when
they persecute you
in this city,
flee
ye into another:
for verily
I say unto you,
Ye shall not have
gone over the cities
of Israel,
till the Son
of man
be come.
Think not
that I
am come
to send peace
on earth:
I came not
to send peace,
but a sword.
And thou,
Capernaum,
which art exalted
unto heaven,
shalt be brought down
to hell:
for if the mighty works,
which have been done
in thee,
had been done
in Sodom,
it would have remained until
this day.
But he
answered
and
said unto them,
An evil
and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign;
and there shall
no sign
be given to it,
but the sign
of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas
was three days
and three nights
in the whale's belly;
so shall
the Son of man
be three days
and three nights
in the heart
of the earth.
Another parable put
he forth unto them,
saying,
The kingdom
of heaven
is likened
unto a man which sowed
good seed
in his field:
But
while men slept,
his enemy
came
and sowed
tares
among the wheat,
and went his way.
But
when the blade
was sprung up,
and brought forth fruit,
then appeared
the tares also.
So the servants
of the householder
came
and
said unto him,
Sir,
didst not
thou sow good seed
in thy field?
from whence
then hath
it tares?
He said unto them,
An enemy
hath done this.
The servants
said unto him,
Wilt thou
then that
we go
and
gather them up?
But he said,
Nay;
lest
while ye
gather
up the tares,
ye root
up also the wheat
with them.
Let both
grow together until
the harvest:
and in the time
of harvest
I will say
to the reapers,
Gather
ye together first
the tares,
and bind them
in bundles
to burn them:
but gather
the wheat
into my barn.
Another parable put
he forth unto them,
saying,
The kingdom
of heaven
is like
to a grain
of mustard seed,
which a man took,
and sowed
in his field:
Which indeed is the least
of all seeds:
but
when it
is grown,
it is the greatest
among herbs,
and becometh a tree,
so that the birds
of the air
come
and lodge
in the branches
thereof.
Another parable
spake
he unto them;
The kingdom
of heaven
is like
unto leaven,
which a woman took,
and hid in three measures
of meal,
till the whole
was leavened.
All these things
spake Jesus
unto the multitude
in parables;
and without a parable
spake
he not unto them:
That it
might be fulfilled
which was spoken
by the prophet,
saying,
I will open my mouth
in parables;
I will utter things which
have been kept secret
from the foundation
of the world.
Then Jesus
sent
the multitude away,
and went into the house:
and his disciples
came unto him,
saying,
Declare unto us the parable
of the tares
of the field.
He answered
and
said unto them,
He that
soweth
the good seed
is the Son
of man;
The field
is the world;
the good seed
are the children
of the kingdom;
but the tares
are the children
of the wicked one;
The enemy that
sowed them
is the devil;
the harvest
is the end
of the world;
and the reapers
are the angels.
As therefore
the tares
are gathered
and burned
in the fire;
so shall
it be
in the end
of this world.
The Son of man
shall send
forth his angels,
and they
shall gather
out of his kingdom
all things that offend,
and them which
do iniquity;
And shall cast them
into a furnace
of fire:
there shall be wailing
and gnashing
of teeth.
Then shall
the righteous shine forth
as the sun
in the kingdom
of their Father.
Who hath ears
to hear,
let him hear.
Again,
the kingdom
of heaven
is like
unto treasure
hid in a field;
the which
when a man
hath found,
he hideth,
and for joy
thereof goeth
and selleth all that
he hath,
and buyeth that field.
Again,
the kingdom
of heaven
is like
unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls:
Who,
when
he had found one pearl
of great price,
went
and sold all that
he had,
and bought it.
Again,
the kingdom
of heaven
is like
unto a net,
that was cast
into the sea,
and gathered
of every kind:
Which,
when it
was full,
they drew to shore,
and sat down,
and gathered
the good
into vessels,
but cast
the bad away.
So shall
it be
at the end
of the world:
the angels
shall come forth,
and sever
the wicked from
among the just,
And shall cast them
into the furnace
of fire:
there shall be wailing
and gnashing
of teeth.
And
I say also
unto thee,
That thou art Peter,
and
upon this rock
I will build
my church;
and the gates
of hell
shall not prevail
against it.
From that time
forth began Jesus
to shew
unto his disciples,
how that
he must go
unto Jerusalem,
and suffer many things
of the elders
and chief priests
and scribes,
and be killed,
and be raised again
the third day.
Verily
I say unto you,
There
be
some standing here,
which shall not taste
of death,
till they
see the Son
of man
coming in
his kingdom.
And
while they abode
in Galilee,
Jesus
said unto them,
The Son of man
shall be betrayed
into the hands
of men:
And
they shall kill him,
and the third day
he shall be raised again.
And
they were exceeding sorry.
Behold,
we go
up to Jerusalem;
and the Son
of man
shall be betrayed
unto the chief priests
and unto the scribes,
and
they shall condemn him
to death,
And shall deliver him
to the Gentiles
to mock,
and to scourge,
and
to crucify him:
and the third day
he shall rise again.
Hear
another parable:
There was a certain householder,
which planted a vineyard,
and hedged it round about,
and digged
a winepress in it,
and built
a tower,
and let it out
to husbandmen,
and went into a far country:
And
when
the time
of the fruit drew near,
he sent his servants
to the husbandmen,
that they
might receive
the fruits of it.
And the husbandmen
took his servants,
and beat one,
and killed
another,
and stoned
another.
Again,
he sent other servants
more than the first:
and
they did unto them likewise.
But last
of all
he sent
unto them his son,
saying,
They will reverence
my son.
But
when the husbandmen
saw the son,
they said
among themselves,
This is the heir;
come,
let us
kill him,
and let us
seize
on his inheritance.
And
they caught him,
and cast him
out of the vineyard,
and slew him.
When
the lord
therefore of the vineyard cometh,
what will
he do
unto those husbandmen?
They say unto him,
He will miserably destroy
those wicked men,
and will let
out his vineyard
unto other husbandmen,
which shall render him
the fruits
in their seasons.
Jesus
saith unto them,
Did
ye never read
in the scriptures,
The stone
which the builders rejected,
the same
is become
the head
of the corner:
this is
the Lord's doing,
and it
is marvellous
in our eyes?
Therefore say
I unto you,
The kingdom
of God
shall be taken
from you,
and given
to a nation
bringing forth
the fruits thereof.
And whosoever
shall fall
on this stone
shall be broken:
but on whomsoever
it shall fall,
it will grind him
to powder.
Wherefore,
behold,
I send
unto you prophets,
and wise men,
and scribes:
and some of them
ye shall kill
and crucify;
and some of them
shall
ye scourge
in your synagogues,
and persecute them
from city to city:
That upon you
may come all
the righteous blood
shed
upon the earth,
from the blood
of righteous Abel
unto the blood
of Zacharias son
of Barachias,
whom
ye slew between the temple
and the altar.
Verily
I say unto you,
All these things
shall come upon
this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou
that killest the prophets,
and stonest them
which are sent
unto thee,
how often would
I have gathered
thy children
together,
even as
a hen
gathereth
her chickens
under her wings,
and ye would not!
Behold,
your house
is left
unto you desolate.
For I
say unto you,
Ye shall not see me
henceforth,
till ye
shall say,
Blessed
is
he that
cometh in the name
of the Lord.
And Jesus went out,
and departed
from the temple:
and his disciples
came to him for
to shew him the buildings
of the temple.
And Jesus
answered
and
said unto them,
Take
heed
that no man
deceive you.
For many
shall come in my name,
saying,
I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
And this
gospel
of the kingdom
shall be preached
in all the world
for a witness
unto all nations;
and then
shall the end come.
Then if any man
shall say
unto you,
Lo,
here is Christ,
or there;
believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs
and wonders;
insomuch that,
if it
were possible,
they shall deceive
the very elect.
Behold,
I have told you
before.
Wherefore
if they
shall say
unto you,
Behold,
he is in the desert;
go not forth:
behold,
he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not.
Then shall
the kingdom
of heaven
be likened
unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps,
and went forth
to meet the bridegroom.
Ye know
that after two days
is the feast
of the passover,
and the Son
of man
is betrayed
to be crucified.
Verily
I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached
in the whole world,
there shall also this,
that this woman
hath done,
be told
for a memorial
of her.
And as they
did eat,
he said,
Verily I
say unto you,
that one of you
shall betray me.
And he
answered
and said,
He that
dippeth
his hand
with me
in the dish,
the same
shall betray me.
The Son of man
goeth as it
is written of him:
but woe
unto that man by
whom the Son
of man
is betrayed!
it had been good
for that man
if he
had not been born.
Then Judas,
which betrayed him,
answered
and said,
Master,
is it I?
He said unto him,
Thou hast said.
Then cometh
he to his disciples,
and
saith unto them,
Sleep on now,
and take
your rest:
behold,
the hour
is at hand,
and the Son
of man
is betrayed into the hands
of sinners.
Rise,
let us
be going:
behold,
he is at hand
that doth betray me.
And
he began
to teach them,
that the Son
of man
must suffer
many things,
and be rejected
of the elders,
and
of the chief priests,
and scribes,
and be killed,
and after three days
rise again.
And
he said unto them,
Verily I
say unto you,
That there be
some of them that stand here,
which shall not taste
of death,
till they
have seen the kingdom
of God
come with power.
For he
taught his disciples,
and
said unto them,
The Son of man
is delivered
into the hands
of men,
and
they shall kill him;
and after that
he is killed,
he shall rise
the third day.
And
they were in the way going up to Jerusalem;
and Jesus
went
before them:
and
they were amazed;
and as they followed,
they were afraid.
And
he took again
the twelve,
and began
to tell them
what things
should happen unto him,
Saying,
Behold,
we go
up to Jerusalem;
and the Son
of man
shall be delivered
unto the chief priests,
and
unto the scribes;
and
they shall condemn him
to death,
and shall deliver him
to the Gentiles:
And
they shall mock him,
and shall scourge him,
and
shall spit upon him,
and shall kill him:
and the third day
he shall rise again.
And
on the morrow,
when
they were come
from Bethany,
he was hungry:
And seeing
a fig tree
afar off having leaves,
he came,
if haply
he might find any thing thereon:
and
when
he came to it,
he found nothing
but leaves;
for the time
of figs was not yet.
And Jesus
answered
and said unto it,
No man
eat fruit
of thee
hereafter for ever.
And his disciples
heard it.
And as he
went out of the temple,
one
of his disciples
saith unto him,
Master,
see
what manner
of stones and
what buildings
are here!
And Jesus answering them
began to say,
Take heed
lest any man
deceive you:
For many
shall come in my name,
saying,
I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
And
then if any man
shall say to you,
Lo,
here is Christ;
or,
lo,
he is there;
believe him not:
For false Christs
and false prophets
shall rise,
and shall shew
signs
and wonders,
to seduce,
if it
were possible,
even the elect.
But take
ye heed:
behold,
I have foretold
you all things.
She hath done
what she could:
she is come
aforehand
to anoint my body
to the burying.
Verily
I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached
throughout the whole world,
this also
that
she hath done
shall be spoken of
for a memorial
of her.
And these
signs
shall follow them
that believe;
In my name
shall
they cast
out devils;
they shall speak
with new tongues;
They shall take up
serpents;
and
if they
drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay
hands
on the sick,
and
they shall recover.
Saying,
The Son of man
must suffer
many things,
and be rejected
of the elders
and chief priests
and scribes,
and be slain,
and be raised
the third day.
And he
said
to them all,
If any man
will come
after me,
let him
deny himself,
and take up
his cross daily,
and follow me.
For whosoever
will save
his life
shall lose it:
but whosoever
will lose
his life
for my sake,
the same shall save it.
But I
tell you
of a truth,
there be
some standing here,
which shall not taste
of death,
till they
see the kingdom
of God.
And thou,
Capernaum,
which art exalted
to heaven,
shalt be
thrust down
to hell.
Be ye therefore ready also:
for the Son
of man
cometh at an hour
when
ye think not.
Then Peter
said unto him,
Lord,
speakest
thou this parable
unto us,
or even to all?
And the Lord said,
Who
then is that
faithful
and wise steward,
whom
his lord
shall make ruler
over his household,
to give them their portion
of meat
in due season?
Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord
when
he cometh
shall find so doing.
Of a truth
I say unto you,
that he
will make him ruler
over all
that he hath.
But and
if that servant
say in his heart,
My lord
delayeth his coming;
and shall begin
to beat the menservants
and maidens,
and to eat and drink,
and to be drunken;
The lord
of that servant
will come in a day
when
he looketh
not for him,
and at an hour
when
he is not aware,
and will cut him
in sunder,
and will appoint him
his portion
with the unbelievers.
And that servant,
which knew his lord's will,
and prepared not
himself,
neither did according to
his will,
shall be beaten
with many stripes.
But he
that knew not,
and did commit things worthy
of stripes,
shall be beaten
with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much
is given,
of him shall be
much required:
and to whom men
have committed much,
of him they
will ask
the more.
I am come
to send
fire
on the earth;
and what
will I,
if it
be already kindled?
But
I have
a baptism
to be baptized with;
and how am
I straitened till
it be accomplished!
Suppose
ye that
I am come
to give peace
on earth?
I tell you,
Nay;
but rather division:
For from henceforth there shall be
five
in one house divided,
three against two,
and two
against three.
The father
shall be divided
against the son,
and the son
against the father;
the mother
against the daughter,
and the daughter
against the mother;
the mother
in law
against her daughter
in law,
and the daughter
in law
against her mother
in law.
Strive to enter in
at the strait gate:
for many,
I say unto you,
will seek
to enter in,
and shall not be able.
When once
the master
of the house
is risen up,
and hath shut
to the door,
and
ye begin
to stand without,
and
to knock
at the door,
saying,
Lord, Lord,
open unto us;
and
he shall answer
and say unto you,
I know you
not whence
ye are:
Then shall
ye begin to say,
We have eaten
and drunk
in thy presence,
and
thou hast taught
in our streets.
But he
shall say,
I tell you,
I know you
not whence
ye are;
depart from me,
all
ye workers
of iniquity.
There shall be weeping
and gnashing
of teeth,
when
ye shall see Abraham,
and Isaac,
and Jacob,
and all
the prophets,
in the kingdom
of God,
and you yourselves
thrust out.
And
they shall come
from the east,
and
from the west,
and
from the north,
and
from the south,
and shall sit down
in the kingdom
of God.
And,
behold,
there are
last which
shall be first,
and there are first which
shall be last.
The same day
there came certain
of the Pharisees,
saying unto him,
Get thee out,
and depart hence:
for Herod
will kill thee.
And
he said unto them,
Go ye,
and tell
that fox,
Behold,
I cast
out devils,
and
I do
cures
to day
and to morrow,
and the third day
I shall be perfected.
Nevertheless
I must walk
to day,
and to morrow,
and the day following:
for it
cannot be
that a prophet
perish out of Jerusalem.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
which killest the prophets,
and stonest them
that
are sent
unto thee;
how often would
I have gathered
thy children
together,
as a hen
doth gather
her brood
under her wings,
and ye would not!
Behold,
your house
is left
unto you desolate:
and verily
I say unto you,
Ye shall not see me,
until the time
come
when
ye shall say,
Blessed
is
he that
cometh in the name
of the Lord.
And
when
he was demanded
of the Pharisees,
when
the kingdom
of God
should come,
he answered them
and said,
The kingdom
of God
cometh not
with observation:
Neither shall
they say,
Lo here!
or,
lo there!
for,
behold,
the kingdom
of God is within you.
And he
said
unto the disciples,
The days
will come,
when
ye shall desire
to see one
of the days
of the Son
of man,
and
ye shall not see it.
And
they shall say
to you,
See here;
or,
see there:
go not
after them,
nor follow them.
For as the lightning,
that lighteneth out of the
one part
under heaven,
shineth unto the other part
under heaven;
so shall also
the Son of man
be in his day.
But first must
he suffer
many things,
and be rejected
of this generation.
And as it
was in the days
of Noe,
so shall
it be also
in the days
of the Son
of man.
They did eat,
they drank,
they married wives,
they were given
in marriage,
until the day
that Noe
entered
into the ark,
and the flood came,
and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it
was in the days
of Lot;
they did eat,
they drank,
they bought,
they sold,
they planted,
they builded;
But the same day
that Lot
went out of Sodom it
rained
fire
and brimstone
from heaven,
and destroyed them all.
Even thus
shall
it be
in the day
when the Son
of man
is revealed.
In that day,
he which
shall be
upon the housetop,
and his stuff
in the house,
let him
not come down
to take it away:
and
he that is
in the field,
let him
likewise not return back.
Whosoever
shall seek
to save
his life
shall lose it;
and whosoever
shall lose
his life
shall preserve it.
I tell you,
in that night
there shall be two men
in one bed;
the one
shall be taken,
and the other
shall be left.
Two women
shall be grinding together;
the one
shall be taken,
and the other left.
Two men
shall be
in the field;
the one
shall be taken,
and the other left.
And they
answered
and
said unto him,
Where, Lord?
And
he said unto them,
Wheresoever the body is,
thither
will
the eagles
be gathered together.
Then
he took unto him the twelve,
and
said unto them,
Behold,
we go
up to Jerusalem,
and all things
that
are written
by the prophets
concerning the Son
of man
shall be accomplished.
For he
shall be delivered
unto the Gentiles,
and shall be mocked,
and spitefully entreated,
and
spitted on:
And
they shall scourge him,
and put him
to death:
and the third day
he shall rise again.
And
when
he was come near,
he beheld
the city,
and wept
over it,
Saying,
If thou
hadst known,
even thou,
at least
in this thy day,
the things which
belong unto thy peace!
but now
they are
hid
from thine eyes.
For the days
shall come upon thee,
that thine enemies
shall cast
a trench
about thee,
and compass thee round,
and keep thee in
on every side,
And shall lay thee
even with the ground,
and thy children
within thee;
and
they shall not leave
in thee one stone
upon another;
because
thou knewest not
the time
of thy visitation.
And
he went into the temple,
and began to cast
out them that
sold therein,
and them
that bought;
Saying unto them,
It is written,
My house
is the house
of prayer:
but
ye have made it
a den
of thieves.
And
he taught daily
in the temple.
But the chief priests
and the scribes
and the chief
of the people
sought
to destroy him,
And could not find
what
they might do:
for all
the people
were very attentive
to hear him.
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.
But Jesus
turning
unto them said,
Daughters
of Jerusalem,
weep not for me,
but weep
for yourselves,
and for your children.
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.
Then shall
they begin
to say
to the mountains,
Fall on us;
and to the hills,
Cover us.
For if they
do
these things
in a green tree,
what shall be done
in the dry?
Jesus
answered
and
said unto them,
Destroy this temple,
and in three days
I will raise it up.
And
as Moses
lifted
up the serpent
in the wilderness,
even so
must
the Son
of man
be lifted up:
Jesus saith unto her,
Woman,
believe me,
the hour cometh,
when ye
shall
neither
in this mountain,
nor
yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
But the hour cometh,
and now is,
when the true worshippers
shall worship
the Father
in spirit
and in truth:
for the Father
seeketh such
to worship him.
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
The hour
is coming,
and now is,
when the dead
shall hear
the voice
of the Son
of God:
and
they that
hear shall live.
For as the Father
hath life
in himself;
so hath
he given
to the Son
to have life
in himself;
And hath given him
authority
to execute judgment also,
because
he is the Son
of man.
Marvel not
at this:
for the hour
is coming,
in the which all
that
are in the graves
shall hear
his voice,
And
shall come forth;
they that
have done good,
unto the resurrection
of life;
and
they that
have done evil,
unto the resurrection
of damnation.
And this
is the Father's
will
which hath sent me,
that of all which
he hath given me
I should lose
nothing,
but should raise it up
again at the last day.
Whoso
eateth
my flesh,
and drinketh my blood,
hath eternal life;
and I
will raise
him up
at the last day.
Then said Jesus
unto them,
Yet a little
while am
I with you,
and
then
I go
unto him that
sent me.
Ye shall seek me,
and shall not find me:
and where
I am,
thither
ye cannot come.
Then said Jesus
again unto them,
I go
my way,
and
ye shall seek me,
and shall die
in your sins:
whither
I go,
ye cannot come.
Then said
Jesus unto them, When
ye have lifted
up the Son
of man,
then shall
ye know that
I am he,
and that
I do nothing
of myself;
but as my Father
hath taught me,
I speak
these things.
When Jesus
heard that,
he said,
This sickness
is not
unto death,
but for the glory
of God,
that the Son
of God
might be glorified
thereby.
These things
said he:
and
after that
he saith unto them,
Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;
but I go,
that I
may awake him out of sleep.
Jesus saith unto her,
Thy brother
shall rise again.
Jesus saith unto her,
Said I
not unto thee,
that,
if thou
wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see
the glory
of God?
Then said Jesus,
Let her alone:
against the day
of my burying
hath
she kept this.
For the poor always
ye have with you;
but me
ye have not always.
And Jesus
answered them,
saying,
The hour
is come,
that the Son
of man
should be glorified.
And I,
if I
be lifted up
from the earth,
will draw all men
unto me.
Then Jesus
said unto them,
Yet a little
while is the light
with you.
Walk
while ye
have the light,
lest darkness
come upon you:
for he
that
walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither
he goeth.
I speak not
of you all:
I know whom
I have chosen:
but
that the scripture
may be fulfilled,
He that
eateth bread
with me hath lifted
up his heel
against me.
Now I
tell you
before it come,
that,
when it
is come
to pass,
ye may believe that
I am he.
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
He that
receiveth whomsoever
I send
receiveth me;
and he
that receiveth me
receiveth him
that sent me.
When Jesus
had thus said,
he was troubled
in spirit,
and testified,
and said,
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
that one of you
shall betray me.
Then the disciples
looked one
on another,
doubting of whom
he spake.
Now there was leaning
on Jesus' bosom one
of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
Simon Peter
therefore beckoned
to him,
that he
should ask
who it
should be
of whom
he spake.
He then lying
on Jesus' breast
saith unto him,
Lord,
who is it?
Jesus answered,
He it is,
to whom
I shall give a sop,
when
I have dipped it.
And
when
he had dipped
the sop,
he gave it
to Judas Iscariot,
the son
of Simon.
And after the sop
Satan
entered into him.
Then said Jesus
unto him,
That thou doest,
do quickly.
Little children,
yet a little
while I
am with you.
Ye shall seek me:
and as I
said unto the Jews,
Whither I go,
ye cannot come;
so now
I say to you.
Simon Peter
said unto him,
Lord,
whither goest thou?
Jesus answered him,
Whither I go,
thou canst
not follow me now;
but
thou shalt follow me afterwards.
Peter
said unto him,
Lord,
why cannot
I follow thee now?
I will lay down my life
for thy sake.
Jesus answered him,
Wilt thou
lay down thy life
for my sake?
Verily,
verily,
I say unto thee,
The cock
shall not crow,
till thou
hast denied me thrice.
And now
I have told you
before it
come to pass,
that,
when it
is come
to pass,
ye might believe.
But these things
have
I told you,
that when the time
shall come,
ye may remember that
I told you
of them.
And these things
I said not
unto you
at the beginning,
because
I was with you.
Of righteousness,
because
I go
to my Father,
and
ye see me no more;
A little while,
and
ye shall not see me:
and again,
a little while,
and
ye shall see me,
because
I go
to the Father.
Behold,
the hour cometh,
yea,
is now come,
that ye
shall be scattered,
every man
to his own,
and shall leave me alone:
and yet
I am not alone,
because
the Father
is with me.
Verily,
verily,
I say unto thee,
When
thou wast young,
thou girdest thyself,
and walkedst
whither
thou wouldest:
but
when
thou shalt be old,
thou shalt stretch
forth thy hands,
and another
shall gird thee,
and carry thee
whither
thou wouldest not.
This spake he,
signifying
by what
death
he should glorify God.
And
when
he had spoken this,
he saith unto him,
Follow me.
Then Peter,
turning about,
seeth the disciple
whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned
on his breast
at supper,
and said,
Lord,
which is
he that
betrayeth thee?
Peter
seeing him
saith to Jesus, Lord,
and
what shall this man do?
Jesus
saith unto him,
If I
will
that
he tarry
till I come,
what is
that to thee?
follow thou me.
Then went this
saying abroad
among the brethren,
that that disciple
should not die:
yet Jesus
said not unto him,
He shall not die;
but,
If I
will
that
he tarry
till I come,
what is
that to thee?
