And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.

And he, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake:

Woe to you that are filled, for ye shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.

and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;

But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.

for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater prophet is no one than John the baptist; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?

They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.

But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.

But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it.

But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.

But turning he rebuked them and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are.

And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens.

And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give it thee?

When the strong man armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward parts are full of plunder and wickedness.

But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know it.

Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.

Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?

If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?

Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord on coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.

And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find them thus, blessed are those bondmen.

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which people ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

And one said to him, Sir, are such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,

From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light.

And he said to them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.

The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.

Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.

And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where are they?

And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

And he took the twelve to him and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;

saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;

but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage,

but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

As to these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.

And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what is the sign when these things are going to take place?

Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;

for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.

But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.

Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?

And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?

And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.

And ye are witnesses of these things.
