LUKE XIX.

thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that 22 thou didst not sow. And he saith unto him; Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant; thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not 23 down, and reaping that I did not sow; wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might 24 have required mine own with usury? And he said unto

them that stood by; Take from him the pound, and give it 25 to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him; 26 Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, that unto every one which hath, shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign 28 over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, that, as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging. 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it 37 meant. And they told him,

that Jesus of Nazareth passeth 38 by. And he cried, saying; Jesus, thou son of David, 39 have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should

hold his peace. But he cried so much the more; Thou son of David, have 40 mercy on me. And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come 41 near, he asked him, saying; What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said; Lord, that I may receive

And Jesus answer-
ed and said unto him; What
wilt thou that I should do
unto thee? The blind man
said unto him; Lord, that I
might receive my
my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him ;

Go thy way; thy faith hath
made thee whole. And im-
mediately he received hist
sight, and followed him in
the way.

JOHN XI.

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to 56 purify themselves. Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple; What think 57 ye? that he will not come to the feast? Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

MARK XI.

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth 2 forth two of his disciples, and

ass tied, and a colt with her ;
loose them, and bring them

say aught unto you, ye shall
say; The Lord hath need

JOHN XII.

1 Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might 10 see Lazarus also whom he had raised from the dead.

But

the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also 11 to death; because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

And it came to pass, when | 12 he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his 30 disciples, saying; Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man 14 sat; loose him, and bring him 31 hither. And if any man ask you; Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him; Because the Lord hath need 32 of him.

On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palmtrees, and went forth to meet him, and cried; Hosanna; blessed is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon, as it is written; "Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt:" These things understood not his disciples at the first; but

en by the prophet, saying; 5 "Tell ye the daughter of Sion; Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt 6 the foal of an ass." And the disciples went, and did as Je7 sus commanded them, and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes; 8 and he sat thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from, the trees, and strawed 9 them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying; Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the high10 est !

And certain of them that stood there said unto them; What do ye, loosing the colt? 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way; and others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed them in the way. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying; Hosanna; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest. And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple.

And when he 10 was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying; 11 Who is this? And the mul-11 titude said; This is Jesus the prophet, of Nazareth of Galilee.

ye the colt? And they said; The Lord hath 17 35 need of him. And they brought him to Jesus; and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set 18 36 Jesus thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes 37 in the way.

And 19 when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they had 38 seen, saying; Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the 39 highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him; Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them; I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would im41 mediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept 42 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 43 thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a

when Jesus was glorified,
then remembered they that
these things were written of
him, and that they had done
these things unto him.
The people therefore that

Lazarus out of his grave, and

the people also met him, for
that they heard that he had

themselves; Ye perceive how
