Blessed is that slave whom the master finds at work when he comes.

But if that evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’

“For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them.

But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money in it.

After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled his accounts with them.

Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.

I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,

And while they were eating he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”

for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Peter said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”

He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became anguished and distressed.

So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to find false testimony against Jesus so that they could put him to death.

So the high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?”

saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You take care of it yourself!”

After consulting together they bought the Potter’s Field with it, as a burial place for foreigners.
