[19] But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for
all the evils which Herod had done; [20] He added this also above all, and shut up John in
prison.

[22] And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. [23] And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger. [24] And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm. [25] And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?
[26] And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee. [27] And when
he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time,
and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres. [28] And when he
saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do
with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me. [29] For he
commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound
with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the
deserts. [30] And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion; because many
devils were entered into him. [31] And they besought him that he would not command them to go into
the abyss.
[32] And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. [33] The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled. [34] Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages. [35] And they went out to see what was done; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid. [36] And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion. [37] And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again. [38] Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying: [39] Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.

[40] And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were
all waiting for him. [41] And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of
the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his
house: [42] For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it
happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes. [43] And there was a certain woman
having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians, and could
not be healed by any. [44] She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment; and
immediately the issue of her blood stopped. [45] And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And
all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee,
and dost thou say, Who touched me? [46] And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that
virtue is gone out from me. [47] And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and
fell down before his feet, and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him,
and how she was immediately healed. [48] But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
whole; go thy way in peace.
[49] As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him:
Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not. [50] And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of
the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe. [51] And when he was come to the house,
he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother
of the maiden. [52] And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead,
but sleepeth. [53] And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. [54] But he taking
her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise. [55] And her spirit returned, and she arose
immediately. And he bid them give her to eat. [56] And her parents were astonished, whom he
charged to tell no man what was done.

[10] And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he
went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida. [11] Which when the people
knew, they followed him;....
[27] But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they
see the kingdom of God. [28] And it came to pass about eight days after these words,....
[37] And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a
great multitude. [38] And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee,
look upon my son, because he is my only one. [39] And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly
crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he
hardly departeth from him. [40] And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
[41] And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you,
and suffer you? Bring hither thy son. [42] And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down,
and tore him. [43] And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to
his father. [44] And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all
the things he did,

[33] No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel; but upon a
candlestick, that they that come in, may see the light. [34] The light of thy body is thy eye. If
thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be
darksome. [35] Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkness. [36] If then
thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness; the whole shall be lightsome; and as a
bright lamp, shall enlighten thee.
Chapter 12 verses 22-31, have been omitted from the
Mass readings.
[22] And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what
you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on. [23] The life is more than the meat, and
the body is more than the raiment. [24] Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they
reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable
than they? [25] And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? [26] If
then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest? [27]
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not
even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. [28] Now if God clothe in this manner
the grass that is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye
of little faith? [29] And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not
lifted up on high. [30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father
knoweth that you have need of these things. [31] But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his
justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

[34] Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? [35] It
is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill, but shall be cast out. He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear.

Chapter 16 verses 16-18 have been omitted from the Mass readings.
[16] The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and
every one useth violence towards it. [17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one
tittle of the law to fall. [18] Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,
committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth
adultery.
Chapter 17 is covered in full in the Mass Readings at some

[15] And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples
saw, they rebuked them. [16] But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to
me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. [17] Amen, I say to you: Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
[18] And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting
life? [19] And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone. [20]
Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not
steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother. [21] Who said: All
these things have I kept from my youth. [22] Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one
thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. [23] He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for
he was very rich.
[24] And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the kingdom of God. [25] For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [26] And they that heard it, said: Who
then can be saved? [27] He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible
with God. [28] Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee. [29] Who
said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren,
or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, [30] Who shall not receive much more in this
present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
[31] Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all
things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man. [32]
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon: [33]
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise
again. [34] And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they
understood not the things that were said.
Chapter 19 verses 41-44 have been omitted from the Mass
readings.
[41] And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: [42] If thou also hadst
known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from
thy eyes. [43] For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee,
and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side, [44] And beat thee flat to the ground,
and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because
thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
Chapter 20 verses 1-26, 41-47 have been omitted from the Mass readings.
[1] And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and
preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together, [2] And
spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath
given thee this authority? [3] And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing.
Answer me: [4] The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? [5] But they thought within
themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe
him? [6] But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that
John was a prophet. [7] And they answered, that they knew not whence it was. [8] And Jesus said to
them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
[9] And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and
let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time. [10] And at the season he sent a
servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating
him, sent him away empty. [11] And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and
treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty. [12] And again he sent the third: and they
wounded him also, and cast him out. [13] Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I
will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him. [14] Whom when
the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him,
that the inheritance may be ours. [15] So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What
therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? [16] He will come, and will destroy these
husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
[17] But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the
builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
[18] Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it
will grind him to powder. [19] And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him
the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them. [20]
And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take
hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the
governor. [21] And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest
rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth. [22] Is it
lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no? [23] But he considering their guile, said to them:
Why tempt you me? [24] shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said
to him, Caesar's. [25] And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are
Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's. [26] And they could not reprehend his word before
the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
[41] But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David? [42] And David himself
saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, [43] Till I make
thy enemies thy footstool. [44] David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son? [45] And in
the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples: [46] Beware of the scribes, who
desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts: [47] Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long
prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
Chapter 21 verses 37-38 have been omitted from the Mass readings.
[37] And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple; but at night, going out, he abode in the
mount that is called Olivet. [38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
temple, to hear him.

[1] Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand. [2] And the chief
priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people. [3]
And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve. [4] And he went, and
discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them. [5] And
they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. [6] And he promised. And he sought opportunity
to betray him in the absence of the multitude.
[7] And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be
killed. [8] And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.
[9] But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare? [10] And he said to them: Behold, as you go
into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house
where he entereth in. [11] And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to
thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? [12] And he will
shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare. [13] And they going, found as he had
said to them, and made ready the pasch.
[31] And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you
as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once
converted, confirm thy brethren. [33] Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into
prison, and to death. [34] And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,
till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me.
And he said to them: [35] When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want
anything? [36] But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let
him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
[37] For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked
was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end. [38] But they said: Lord, behold here
are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
[39] And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. [40] And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. [41] And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast; and kneeling down, he prayed, [42] Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done. [43] And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. [44] And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground. [45] And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. [46] And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.
[39] And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. [40] And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

[45] And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. [46] And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.
[47] As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him. [48] And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss? [49] And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword? [50] And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. [51] But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him. [52] And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs? [53] When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
[54] And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.
[55] And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter
was in the midst of them. [57] But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not. [58] And after a
little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am
not. [59] And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a
truth, this man was also with him; for he is also a Galilean. [60] And Peter said: Man, I know not
what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew. [61] And the Lord
turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. [62] And Peter going out, wept bitterly. [63] And the men
that held him, mocked him, and struck him. [64] And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And
they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee? [65] And blaspheming, many other
things they said against him.
[66] And as soon as it was day, the ancients of the people, and the chief priests and scribes,
came together; and they brought him into their council, saying: If thou be the Christ, tell us.
[67] And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me. [68] And if I shall also
ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go. [69] But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting
on the right hand of the power of God. [70] Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who
said: You say that I am. But hereafter the Son of man shall be sitting on the right hand of
the power of God. [71] And they said: What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have
heard it from his own mouth.

[1] And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate. [2] And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king. [3] And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it. [4] And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man. [5] But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
[6] But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee? [7] And when he understood that
he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in
those days. [8] And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see
him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him. [9]
And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing. [10] And the chief priests and
the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him. [11] And Herod with his army set him at nought, and
mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate. [12] And Herod and Pilate
were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another. [13] And Pilate,
calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people, [14] Said to them: You
have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined
him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him. [15] No, nor
Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. [16] I
will chastise him therefore, and release him.
[17] Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day. [18] But the whole
multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: [19] Who,
for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison. [20] And Pilate
again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus. [21] But they cried again, saying: Crucify him,
crucify him. [22] And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no
cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go. [23] But they were instant
with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed. [24] And
Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. [25] And he released unto them him who
for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered
up to their will.
[26] And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and
they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus. [27] And there followed him a great multitude of
people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him. [28] But Jesus turning to them, said:
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children. [29] For
behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that
have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck. [30] Then shall they begin to say to the
mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us. [31] For if in the green wood they do these
things, what shall be done in the dry? [32] And there were also two other malefactors led with him
to be put to death.
[34] And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.
[50] And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man, [51] (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings;) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God. [52] This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. [53] And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid. [54] And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on. [55] And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. [56] And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested, according to the commandment.
Chapter 24 is covered in full in the Mass Readings at some
