1All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.

2A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

3A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

8A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.

9What has man more of his work?

10I have seen the trouble, which God has given the people to be exercised in it.

11He has made all things good in their time, and has rescued the world to their consideration, so that man cannot flnd out the work which God has made from the start to the end.

3For the enemy has persecuted my soul: he has brought down my life to the earth. He has made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:

4and my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.

18And it happened, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?

19But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.

20And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.

21But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.

22Saying: The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the leaders and chief priests and teachers of the law, and be killed, and the third day rise again.
