The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
