24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

25 But Jefis called them unto him, and faid, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercife dominion over them, and they that are great exercife authority upon them.

16 And faid unto him, Heareft thou what thefe fay! And Jefus faith unto them, Yea: have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and fucklings thou haft perfected praise?

17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wineprefs in it, and built a tower, and let it out to hutbandmen, and went into a far country:

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he fent his fervants to the hutbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

35 And the bulbandmen took his fervants, and beat one, and killed another, and ftoned

another.

36 Again, he fent other fervants more than the firit. and they did unto them likewife. 37 But laft of all he fent unto them his fon, faying, They will reverence my fon.

38 But when the husbandmen faw the fon, they fand among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us feize on his inheritance.

24 Saying, Mafter, Mofes faid, If a man die, having no children, his brother fhall marry his wife, and raife up feed unto his brother.

25 Now there were with us feven brethren: and the firft, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no iffue, left his wife unto his brother.

26 Likewife the fecond alfo, and the third, unto the feventh.

27 And laft of all the woman died alfo. 28 Therefore in the refurrection whofe wife fall the be of the feven? for they all had her. 29 Jefus answered and faid unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the fcriptures, not the power of God.

30 For in the refurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the refurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was fpoken unto you by God, faying,

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Ifaac, and the God of Jacob! God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were aftonished at his doctrine.

34 But when the Pharifees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to filence, they were gathered together.

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, alked him a queftion, tempting him, and faying,

36 Mafter, which is the great command

37 Jefus faid unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy neart, and with all thy foul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the firft and great commandment. 39 And the fecond is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy felf.

40 On there two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41 While the Pharifees were gathered together, Jefus asked them,

42 Saying, What think ye of Chrift! whose fon is he? They fay unto him, The fon of David. 43 He faith unto them, How then doth David in fpirit call him Lord, faying,

44 The LORD faid unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footfool?

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he bis fon?

3 And as he fat upon the mount of Olives, the difciples came unto him privately, faying, Tell us, when thail these things be and what ball be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jefus anfwered and faid unto them, Take heed that no man teceive you:

5 For many fhall come in my name, fay Ing, I am Chrift; and thall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: fee that ye be not troubled: for all the things mutt come to pass, but the end is not yet,

8 All these are the beginning of forrows. 9 Then fhall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye thall be hated of all nations for my name's fake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and fhall betray one another, and fhall hate one another.

11 And many falfe prophets fhall rife, and fhall deceive many.

12 And becaufe iniquity fhall abound, the love of many thalf wax cold.

13 But he that fhall endure unto the end, the fame shall be faved.

14 And this gofpel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witnefs unto all nations; and then fhall the end come.

15 When ye therefore fhall fee the abo mination of defolation fpoken of by Danic! the prophet, ftand in the holy place, (whofo readeth, let him underftand,)

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give fuck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the fabbath day:

22 And except thofe days fhould be shortened, there should no flesh be faved: but for the elect's fake thofe days thall be shortened.

23 Then if any man thall fay unto you, Lo, here is Chrift, or there; believe it not.

24 For there thall arife falfe Chrifts, and falfe prophets, and thall fhew great figns and wonders; infomuch that (if it were posible) they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they fhall fay unto you, Behold, he is in the defert; go not forth: behold, be is in the fecret chambers; believe it not.
