and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side,

And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

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

All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.'

And he turned to his disciples when they were alone, and said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

In the same way, a Levite [Note: Levites were assistants to the priests], when coming to that place and seeing the [injured] man, also went around him on the opposite side [of the road].

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

Now while they were on their way, Jesus entered a village [called Bethany], and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

Jesus also said to them: "Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say 'Friend, lend me three loaves,

And he was expelling a mute demon. Now it happened that [when] the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished.

and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.

Since he knew what they were thinking, he told them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a divided household collapses.

And if Satan were indeed divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I am casting out demons through Beelzebul.

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

"But it is too bad for you Pharisees! For you give a tenth of your mint, rue and every [other] herb [Note: These were small garden plants used for seasoning or medicine] and [yet] neglect [demonstrating] justice and the love of God [toward others]. But you should have done these things and not neglected to do the other things [as well].

they were guilty of slaughter, and you raise monuments to their memory.

Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

And when he had gone out thence the scribes and Pharisees were extremely angry, and questioned him on many subjects,

they were lying in wait for Him to trap Him in something He said.

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But also the hairs of your head were all numbered. Therefore fear not: ye have the preeminence over many little sparrows.

But be sure of this: if the homeowner had known at what time the thief were coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into.

“I have come to cast fire (judgment) on the earth; and how I wish that it were already kindled!

"Would it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it is accomplished!

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

No, I tell you; but unless you repent [i.e., change your hearts and lives], you [too] will all be destroyed just as they were.

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you [too] will all be destroyed just as they were."

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

"when once the master of the house is risen up and has shut the door. You will begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, crying, "'Lord, open to us.' "'I do not know were you came from,' he will reply.

Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

"But he will answer. "'I tell you I do not know were you came from;

then you will see those, who were last, become first: and those who were first, become last.

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together {the way} a hen [gathers] her own brood under [her] wings, and you were not willing!

And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

And Jesus responding spoke to the theologians and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath-day, or not? and they were silent.

But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

Then continuing his discourse, which of you, said he, if his child or his ox fell into a pit, would not immediately draw him out, though it were on the sabbath-day?

And they were not able to answer him to these things.

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,

And one of those that were lying at table with them, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

upon which Jesus said, a certain man made a great entertainment; where many were invited.

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them,

Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him.

and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying -- This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.

For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

Now Jesus was also saying to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager [of his estate], and accusations [against this man] were brought to him, that this man was squandering his [master’s] possessions.

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

If you were not faithful in the interest of another, who will give you your own?

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

'But, Father Abraham,' he urged, 'if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.'

"Then Abraham told him, "If your brothers do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even if someone were to rise from the dead.'"

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

But the Master said: "If your faith were only like a mustard- seed, you could say to this mulberry tree 'Be up-rooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Who is it, if he had a servant a plowing, or feeding cattle, that would say unto him when he were come from the field, 'Go quickly and sit down to meat.'

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

Thus you also, when you have done all the {things you were ordered to do}, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done what we were obligated to do.'"

And it came to pass, as they were on their way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

And he fell on his face at Jesus' feet and thanked Him. And he was a Samaritan. [Note: Samaritans were despised by the Jews and regarded as a 'half-breeds'].

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

Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

As they were near Jericho, a blind man happen'd to sit begging by the road,

And those who were going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.

and having seen it, they were all murmuring, saying -- 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

For the Son of man came to search for and save those who were lost."

But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.

"He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"

And it happened when Jesus got close to Bethphage and Bethany [Note: These were two small towns about two miles east of Jerusalem], at a hill called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,
