Take heed, therefore, how ye hear; for whosoever has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him."

Now there came to Him His mother and brothers; and they could not get to Him because of the multitude.

And, when He went forth on the land, there met Him a certain man out of the city, who had demons, and for a long time he had worn no clothing; and he abode not in a house, but in the tombs.

And, seeing Jesus, he, crying out, fell down before Him, and, with a loud voice, said, "What is there to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beg of Thee, do not torment me!"

And they were entreating Him, that He would not command them to go away into the abyss.

And a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who could not be cured,

And the woman, seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling; and, falling down before Him, reported before all the people for what cause she touched Him, and how she was instantly healed.

While He is yet speaking, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying, "Your daughter has died; trouble not the Teacher."

But Jesus, hearing it, answered him, "Fear not; only believe; and she shall be made whole!"

And they were all weeping, and bewailing her; but He said, "Weep not; for she did not die, but is sleeping."

and He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey??either staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; and not to have two coats.

And as many as do not receive you, going out from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed Him; and, having welcomed them, He was speaking to them concerning the Kingdom of God, and those having need of cure He healed.

And it came to pass, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; and let us make three tents; one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah;" not knowing what he was saying.

and I besought Thy disciples to cast it out, but they were not able."

But they did not understand this saying; and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him concerning this saying.

And John, answering, said, "Master, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name; and we forbade him, because he follows not with us."

And Jesus said to him, "Forbid him not: for he who is not against you is for you."

And they did not receive Him, because His face was as if He were going to Jerusalem.

And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have dens; and the birds of the heaven lodging-places; but the Son of Man hath not where to recline His head."

And, if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but, if not, it will return to you.

And in the same house abide, eating and drinking the things supplied by them; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say,

Notwithstanding, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice, because your names have been written in Heaven."

for I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what ye are beholding, and did not see them; and to hear what ye are hearing, and heard them not."

But Martha was being distracted about much serving; and, coming up suddenly, she said, "Lord, carest Thou not that my sister left me to serve alone? Speak to her, therefore, that she assist me!"

but of one thing there is need; for Mary chose the good part, which, indeed, shall not be taken away from her."

and forgive us our sins; for we also ourselves forgive every one indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.'"

and he from within, answering, shall say, 'Trouble me not; already the door has been shut, and my children are with me in the bed; I cannot rise and give you.'

I say to you, even if he will not, rising up, give to him because of his being his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he, rousing himself, will give him as many as he needs.

He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who is not gathering with Me is scattering.

"When the unclean spirit goes out from the man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest; and, not finding it, it says, 'I will return into my house whence I came out.'

And as the multitudes were gathering together to Him, He began to say, "This generation is an evil generation: it is seeking a sign, and a sign shall not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.

If, therefore, your whole body be full of light, not having any part dark, it shall be wholly light, as when the lamp, with its bright shining, illuminates you."

And the Pharisee, seeing it, marvelled that He was not first immersed before breakfast.

Senseless ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

"But woe to you Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb; but ye pass by judgment and the love of God. Now these things it was needful to do, and not to leave those undone.

Woe to you! because ye are as the unobserved tombs; and the men, walking over them, know it not."

And He said, "Woe to you lawyers, also! because ye burden men with burdens hard to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers!

"Woe to you lawyers; because ye took away the Key of Knowledge; ye yourselves entered not in, and those who were entering ye hindered."

But nothing has been covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

"And I say to you, my friends, be not frightened by those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do;

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

But even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; fear not, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

And every one who shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

And, when they bring you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;

And He said to them, "Take heed, and guard yourselves from all covetousness; because one's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses."

and he reasoned within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, because I have not where to store my fruits?'

But God said to him, 'Senseless one! this night they require your soul of you; and the things you prepared, whose shall they be?'

So is he who is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

And He said to His disciples, "Therefore, I say to you, be not anxious for your soul, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on;

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and I say to you, even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed as one of these!

And seek ye not what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; nor be troubled with anxiety;

for after all these things are the nations of the world seeking; and your Father knoweth that ye need these things.

"Fear not, little flock; because your Father delighted to give you the Kingdom.

Sell what ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses that grow not old, a treasure unfailing in Heaven, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts;

But know this, that, if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Be ye also ready; because at an hour ye think not the Son of Man cometh."

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour which he knows not, and will cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.

And that servant who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

but he who knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whomsoever they committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Hypocrites! Ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and of the heavens but how is it ye know not how to interpret this time?

And why even of yourselves do ye not judge what is right?

And if, indeed, it bear fruit for the future, well; but, if not, you shall cut it down.'"

But the synagogue-ruler, answering, (being much displeased that Jesus healed her on the sabbath), said to the multitude, "There are six days in which it behooves us to work; in these, therefore, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath day."

And the Lord answered him, and said, "Hypocrites! does not each one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stall; and, leading it away, water it?

And was it not right that this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, eighteen years, should have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?"

And He said to them, "Strive to enter in through the narrow door; because many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

When the Householder rises and shuts the door, and ye 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 will say, 'I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from Me, all ye workers of unrighteousness.'

But yet I must go on My way to-day, and to-morrow, and the following day; because it is not possible that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem!'

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those sent to her; how often I wished to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is abandoned to you!

And, answering, Jesus spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to heal or not?"

and He said to them, "Who of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a well, and he will not straight-way draw him up on a sabbath day?"

And they were not able to return an answer to these things.

"When you are bidden by any one to a marriage feast, sit not on the first seat, lest possibly a more honorable man than you may have been invited by him;

And He said to him also who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, nor your kindred, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made you;

and happy shall you be; because they have not wherewith to recompense you; for recompense will be made to you in the resurrection of the righteous."

"If any one comes to Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and, further, his own soul also, he cannot be My disciple.

And whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.

For who of you, wishing to build a tower, does not, first, sitting down, calculate the expense, whether he has enough for its completion?

lest, perhaps, having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish it, all who behold begin to mock him,

saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish!'

"Or what king, going on to engage another king in war, does not, sitting down, first take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who is coming against him with twenty thousand?

And, if not by any means, while he is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he asks conditions of peace.

"So, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all his own goods, cannot be My disciple.

"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and losing one of them, does not leave behind the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one, until he finds it?

I say to you, that so there will be joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.

"Or what woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently, till she finds it?

And, not many days after, gathering all things together, the younger son went abroad into a far country, and there wasted his estate, living riotously.

But he was angry, and was not willing to go in; but his father, coming out, kept entreating him.

And the steward said in himself, 'What shall I do? because my lord takes away the stewardship from me! To dig, I have not strength; to beg, I am ashamed!

If, therefore, ye were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?

And, if ye were not faithful in that which is another's, who will give to you your own?

But he said to him, 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rose from the dead.'"

and will not rather say to him, 'Make ready wherewith I may sup; and, having girded yourself, serve me, until I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink?'

And Jesus, answering, said, "Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?

And being asked by the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God is coming, He answered them, and said, "The Kingdom of God comes not with observation;

And He said to the disciples, "There will come days, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye will not see it.

And they will say to you, 'Lo, there!' or "Lo, here!' go not away, nor follow after them.
