Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
025:041 "Then will He say to those at His left, "`Begone from me,
with the curse resting upon you, into the Fire of the Ages,
which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels.
025:042 For when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat; when thirsty,
you gave me nothing to drink;
025:043 when homeless, you gave me no welcome; ill-clad, you clothed me not;
sick or in prison, you visited me not.'
025:044 "Then will they also answer, "`Lord, when did we see Thee hungry
or thirsty or homeless or ill-clad or sick or in prison,
and not come to serve Thee?'
025:045 "But he will reply, "`In solemn truth I tell you that in so far
as you withheld such services from one of the humblest of these,
you withheld them from me.'
025:046 "And these shall go away into the Punishment of the Ages,
but the righteous into the Life of the Ages."
026:001 When Jesus had ended all these discourses, He said to His disciples,
026:002 "You know that in two days' time the Passover comes.
And the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
026:003 Then the High Priests and Elders of the People assembled
in the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas,
026:004 and consulted how to get Jesus into their power by stratagem
and put Him to death.
026:005 But they said, "Not during the Festival, lest there be a riot
among the people."
026:006 Now when Jesus was come to Bethany and was at the house
of Simon the Leper,
026:007 a woman came to Him with a jar of very costly, sweet-scented ointment,
which she poured over His head as He reclined at table.
026:008 "Why such waste?" indignantly exclaimed the disciples;
026:009 "for this might have been sold for a considerable sum,
and the money given to the poor."
026:010 But Jesus heard it, and said to them, "Why are you vexing her?
For she has done a most gracious act towards me.
026:011 The poor you always have with you, but me you have not always.
026:012 In pouring this ointment over me, her object was to prepare
me for burial.
026:013 In solemn truth I tell you that wherever in the whole world
this Good News shall be proclaimed, this deed of hers shall
be spoken of in memory of her."
026:014 At that time one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot,
went to the High Priests
026:015 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I betray him to you?"
So they weighed out to him thirty shekels,
026:016 and from that moment he was on the look out for an opportunity
to betray Him.
026:017 On the first day of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came
to Jesus with the question, "Where shall we make preparations
for you to eat the Passover?"
