25: 23.

faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.

The one who had received the one talent came : Master, he said, I knew you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not thrash; and I was afraid and went and hid your talent in the earth; see, you have your own.

His master answered him :

You wicked and worthless slave. You knew I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not thrash? Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and when I came I should have received back my own with interest.

So take from him the talent and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to every one who has will be given and he shall have abundance. But from him who has not, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw the unprofitable slave into the outside darkness.

There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory, and before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them from each other just like the shepherd

25:32.

separates the sheep from the goats, and he will set the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Then the King will say to those on his right: Come, you blessed of my Father,

Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry, and you gave me food;
I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink;
I was a stranger, and you took me in;
Naked, and you clothed me;

I was sick, and you visited me;

I was in prison, and you came to me;

Then the good will answer him :

Lord, when did we see you hungry and fed you?

Or thirsty and gave you a drink?

When did we see you a stranger and took you in?

Or naked, and clothed you?

When did we see you sick or in prison,

And came to you?

The King will answer, and say to them:

To tell you the truth:

Since you did it to one of these my brothers,

25: 40.

Even these least,

You did it to me.

Then he will say to those on his left:

Depart from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire

Prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry, and you gave me no food;
I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to
drink;

I was a stranger, and you did not take me in;
Naked, and you did not clothe me;

Sick, and in prison,

And you did not visit me.

Then they also will answer him:

Lord, when did we see you

Hungry,

Or thirsty,

Or a stranger,

Or naked,

Or sick,

Or in prison,

And did not serve you?

Then he will answer them:

To tell you the truth:

Since you did not do it

To one of these least,

You did not do it to me.

25: 45.

These will go away into eternal punishment, But the good into eternal life."

When Jesus had finished all these words he said to his disciples:

"You know that after two days the passover comes and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified."

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the court of the high priest who was called Caiaphas, and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile and kill him but they said:

"Not during the feast, lest a riot be stirred up among the people."

Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume came to him and poured it on his head as he was at table.

But when the disciples saw it they were indignant, and said :

26:9.

"Why this waste? For this might have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor."

But Jesus noticed it and said to them :

"Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. For in pouring this perfume on my body she did it to prepare me for burial.

To

tell you the truth, Wherever this good news shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be talked about in memory of her."

Then one of the twelve who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said: "What are you willing to give me and I will hand him over to you."

They agreed to give him a hundred dollars. So from that time he kept seeking an opportunity to hand him over.

Now on the first day of unleaven bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said:

"Where do you wish us to get ready for you to eat the passover?"

"Go into the city to so and so," he said, "and say to him: The Master says, My time is at
