Book of Common Prayer

¹² Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called and have pledged yourself with a good profession before many witnesses.

¹³ I give you charge in the sight of God, who gives life to all things, and before Jesus Christ, who bore faithful witness under Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ to keep the commandment, and be without spot and unrebukeable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ – ¹⁵ which appearing (when the time is come) he will show, who is blessed and sole in dominion, King of kings and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ who alone has immortality, and dwells in light to which no man can attain, whom no man ever saw neither can see: to whom be honour and rule everlasting. Amen.

⁴¹ And when he came near, he beheld the city and wept on it, ⁴² saying, If only you had known those things that belong to your peace, at this your very time! But now they are hid from your eyes. ⁴³ For the days will come upon you that your enemies will cast up a siege-mound about you, and compass you around, and hem you in on every side, ⁴⁴ and lay you level with the ground, with your children who are in you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not acknowledge the time of your visitation.

⁴⁵ And he went into the temple and began to cast out those who sold therein, and those who bought, ⁴⁶ saying to them, It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.

⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple. The high priests and the scribes and the chief men of the people went about to destroy him, but could not find what to do, ⁴⁸ because all the people stayed close by him, and listened attentively to him.
