In the days after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, the moon
shall not give her light, the stars shall fall, and the powers in the
heavens shall be shaken. Then the Son of man will appear in the clouds
with great power and in glory. He shall send His angels, and shall
gather together His elect from the four winds and from the uttermost
part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
So if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, He is
there; do not believe him. False Christs and false prophets shall rise
and show signs and wonders to seduce, if it be possible, even the
elect. But take heed. I have warned you of these things.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and
puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. In the same way, when
ye see these things come to pass, know that it is near, as close as at
the door.
This generation shall not pass until all these things are done. Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But, of
the day and the hour, no man knows, no, not the angels in heaven or the
Son, but the Father only knows. Take heed. Watch and pray. Ye know not
when the time is.
For the Son of Man is like a man taking a distant journey, who left his
house, and gave authority to his servants, assigned each his work, and
left the porter to watch. Therefore, ye watch also for ye know not when
the master of the house will come - during evening, or at midnight, or
at the break of dawn, or in daylight. Therefore, be alert lest, in His
coming suddenly, He find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all,
Watch.
14 The feast of the passover and of unleavened bread was in two
days. The chief priests and the scribes considered how they might take
Him by craft and put Him to death. But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar among the people.
Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper. As He sat at
dinner, a woman came to Him carrying an alabaster box of very precious
ointment of spikenard. She broke the container and anointed Jesus' head
with the oil.
Some of the others at the table became indignant and said, Why was this
waste of the ointment made? It might have been sold for a great price
and the money given to the poor. And they murmured against her. But
Jesus said, Let her alone. Why trouble her? She has done a good work.
Ye have the poor with you always, and, whenever ye will, ye may do them
good; but me ye have not always. She has done what she could. She has
come beforehand to anoint my body for burying. Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached throughout the world, this that she has done shall
also be told.
Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to arrange
to betray Jesus to them. They were glad to hear of his offer and
promised to give him money. Then Judas schemed about how he might
conveniently betray Him.
