with great power and glory. (27)And then will he send forth the
angels, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the

(28)And learn the parable from the fig-tree. When its branch is
already become tender, and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is
near. (29)So also ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that
it is near, at the doors. (30)Verily I say to you, that this

(32)But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. (33)Take heed, watch; for ye know

house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, also
commanded the porter that he should watch; (35)watch therefore, for ye
know not when the master of the house comes, at evening, or at
midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning; (36)lest coming

ointment made? (5)For this ointment could have been sold for more than
three hundred denaries, and given to the poor. And they murmured at
her. (6)And Jesus said: Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? She
wrought a good work on me. (7)For the poor ye have always with you,
and when ye will ye can do good to them; but me ye have not always.
(8)She did what she could; she beforehand anointed my body for the
preparation for burial. (9)Verily I say to you, wherever the good news
shall be preached in the whole world, this also that she did shall be
told for a memorial of her.

(10)And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests,
to deliver him up to them. (11)And they, when they heard it, wer
