And to the poor, not anything except one little ewe lamb which he found, and he will save it alive: and it will grow with him and with his sons together; it will eat from his morsel and will drink from his cup, and will lie in his bosom, and be to him as a daughter. And a traveler will come to the rich man, and he will spare to take from his sheep and from his oxen to do for the wayfarer coming to him; and he will take the poor man's ewe lamb and do for the man coming to him.

And a traveler will come to the rich man, and he will spare to take from his sheep and from his oxen to do for the wayfarer coming to him; and he will take the poor man's ewe lamb and do for the man coming to him.

And to thy servant two sons, and they two will strive in the field, and none delivering between them; and the one will smite the one and kill him.

And he will speak three thousand parables: and his songs will be five and a thousand.

I will sing now to my beloved a song of my love for his vineyard. There was a vineyard to my beloved in the horn of the son of oil: And he will dig it up, and he will free it from stones, and he will plant it with a vine of purple grapes, and build a tower in its midst, and he will also hew out a wine-vat in it: and he will wait for grapes to be made, and it will make wild grapes. read more. And now, ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge ye now, between me and between my vineyard What to do more to my vineyard, and did I not in it? wherefore I waited for grapes to be made, and it will make wild grapes. And now I will make known to you now what I do to my vineyard, taking away its hedge, and it was for consuming, breaking down its wall, and it was for a treading down. And I will make it a desolation; it shall not be pruned and it shall not be dressed, and there came up sharp points and thorns: and upon the clouds I will command from raining rain upon it For the vineyard of Jehovah of armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his pleasures: and he will wait for judgment, and behold bloodshed; for justice, and behold a cry.

Did he not make level its face and disperse the fennel flower, and he will scatter the cummin, and he set the wheat in order, and designated the barley, and the spilt in his bound? read more. He will instruct him, according to judgment his God will teaeh For the fennel flower shall not be beaten with the threshing sledge, and the wheel of a wagon shall not be turned about upon the cummin; for the fennel flower shall be beaten out with the rod and the cummin with the rod.

Son of man, propose an enigma and use a parable to the house of Israel;

And saying, Ah, Lord Jehovah, they say to me, Does he not use parables?

And use a parable against the house of contradiction and say to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set on, and also pour water into it:

In that day a parable shall be lifted up against you, and a wailing of a wailing was wailed, saying, Being laid waste, we shall be laid waste: he will exchange a portion of my people: how he will remove to me; for turning away, he will divide our fields.

And Jesus went about the whole of Galilee, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing disease, and every weakness in the people.

And hold from false prophets which come in to you in sheep's dresses, but within they are rapacious wolves. By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops read more. So every good tree makes good fruits; but the rotten tree makes evil fruits. A good tree cannot make evil fruits, nor a rotten tree make good fruits. Every tree not making good fruit is cut off, and cast into fire. Wherefore from their fruits shall ye know them. Not every one saying to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens; but he doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have we cast out evil spirits, and in thy name done many powers? And then shall I confess to them that I never knew you. Go away from me, ye working iniqnity. Therefore, every one which hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a discerning man which built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended, and rivers came, and winds blew, and fell upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon the rock. And every one hearing these my words and doing them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, which built his house upon sand. And the rain descended, and rivers came, and winds blew and struck upon that house, and it fell, and great was its fall.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head.

And in that day Jesus, having come out of the house, sat by the sea.

And in that day Jesus, having come out of the house, sat by the sea. And many crowds were assembled together to him; therefore having entered into the ship, he sat down, and all the crowd stood upon the sea shore.

And many crowds were assembled together to him; therefore having entered into the ship, he sat down, and all the crowd stood upon the sea shore. And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, he, the sower, went forth to sow.

He having ears to hear let him hear. And the disciples having come near, said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? read more. And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given.

And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given. For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him. read more. For this I speak to them in parables: for seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And the prophecy of Esaias is filled up in them, saying, In hearing shall ye hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them. But happy your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say to you, that many prophets and just desired eagerly to see what ye see, and saw not; and to hear what ye hear, and heard not. Therefore hear ye the parable of him sowing. Every one hearing, and not understanding, the evil one comes, and carries off that sown in his heart. This is he having sown by the way.

Every one hearing, and not understanding, the evil one comes, and carries off that sown in his heart. This is he having sown by the way. And he having sown upon rocky places, this is he hearing the word, and quickly with joy receiving it;

And he having sown upon rocky places, this is he hearing the word, and quickly with joy receiving it; And has no root in himself, but is for a time; and there being pressure or expulsion for the word, straightly is he offended.

And has no root in himself, but is for a time; and there being pressure or expulsion for the word, straightly is he offended. And he having sown among thorns, this is he hearing the word; and the care of this time, and the deceit of riches, choke the word, and it is unfruitful.

And he having sown among thorns, this is he hearing the word; and the care of this time, and the deceit of riches, choke the word, and it is unfruitful. But he having sown upon good earth is he hearing the word, and understanding; who indeed bears fruit, and who makes truly a hundred, and who sixty, and who thirty.

But he having sown upon good earth is he hearing the word, and understanding; who indeed bears fruit, and who makes truly a hundred, and who sixty, and who thirty. Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was made like a man sowing good seed in his field:

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was made like a man sowing good seed in his field: And in men's sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.

And in men's sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away. And when the grass sprouted up and made fruit, then appeared the tares also.

And when the grass sprouted up and made fruit, then appeared the tares also. And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares?

And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares? And he said to them, A man, an enemy, has done this: and his servants said to him, Wilt thou therefore we, having departed, should gather them

And he said to them, A man, an enemy, has done this: and his servants said to him, Wilt thou therefore we, having departed, should gather them And he said, No; lest gathering the tares, ye root up the wheat together with them. read more. Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn.

So that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up; saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things having been hid from the foundation of the world.

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a wholesale merchant, seeking beautiful pearls:

And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. And he having answered, said to them, It being evening, ye say, Calm weather: for the heaven is fiery red. read more. And in the morning, Today, wintry weather: for heaven, being sad, is fiery red. Hypocrites, truly ye know to decide the face of heaven, but the signs of the times ye cannot. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed.

In that hour came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens? And Jesus, having called a young child, set it in the midst of them, read more. And said, Truly I say to you, Except ye be turned, and become as young children, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens. Whoever, therefore, should be humbled as this young child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

But that servant having come, found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred drachmas, and having seized, he choked him, saying, Give back to me what thou owest. Then his fellow-servant having fallen at his feet besought him, saying, Be slow to anger towards me, and I will give back all to thee. read more. . And he would not; but having departed he cast him into prison till he should give back that being owed. And his fellow-servants having seen the thing done, were greatly grieved, and having come, made known to their lord all things done. Then his lord, having called him, said unto him, O thou evil servant, I let go to you all that debt since thou besoughtest me: Oughtest thou not also to pity thy fellow-servant, as I also pitied thee And his lord having become angry, delivered him to the torturers even till he should give back all being owed to him. So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if ye let not go each to his brother from your hearts their falls.

And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Say that these my two sons might sit, the one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.

But what seems to you A man had two children; and having come to the first, he said, Child, retire to-day, work in my vineyard.

Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad:

Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. read more. And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them. And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

And five of them were discerning, and five foolish.

For as a man going abroad, called his own servants, and delivered them his possessions: And to one he truly gave five talents, and to one, two, and to one, one; to each according to his own power; and he quickly went abroad. read more. And he having received five talents, having gone, worked with them, and he made other five talents. Likewise he having the two also, gained he also other two. And he having received one, having departed, dug in the earth, and concealed his lord's silver. And after much time the lord of these servants comes, and lifts up the word with them. And he having received the five talents, having come near, brought the other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst me five talents: and I have gained other five talents. And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant: thou west faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. And he also having received the two talents, having come near said, Lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; see, I gained two other talents to them. His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not: And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own. And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not: Thou therefore oughtest to have cast my silver to the money changers, and I having come, had received mine own, with interest Therefore take the talent away from him, and give him having ten talents. For to every one having shall be given, and he shall be in abundance: and from him not having, also what he has shall be taken away from him. And cast ye the useless servant into darkness without; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

I was a stranger and ye brought me not in; naked, and ye put not around me; sick, and in prison, and ye took not a view of me.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; And he sleep, and should rise night and day, and the seed should sprout, and be raised; how, he knows not. read more. For the earth bears fruit spontaneously; first the grass, then the ear, then the full wheat in the ear. But when the fruit should yield, quickly he sends the sickle, for the harvest is brought forward.

As a man travelling, having left his house, and having given power to his servants, and to each his work, and he commanded the guard of the door that he should watch. Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at eve, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or morning. read more. Lest having come suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch ye.

And all in the assembly were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

Two debtors were to a certain money-lender: one owed five hundred drachmas, and the other fifty. And they not having to pay, he bestowed as a gift upon both. Which of them therefore will love him the more? Say thou. read more. And Simon, having answered, said, I suppose, that to whom he bestowed more favor. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly,

And he said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: and to the rest in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

And Jesus having replied said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers : and having stripped him, and laid on blows, they departed, leaving him half dead. And by accident a certain priest went down in that way : and having seen him, went on the opposite side. read more. And likewise also a Levite, having been in the place, having come and seen him, went on the opposite side. And a certain Samaritan, travelling, came to him : and having seen him, felt compassion. And having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and having mounted him upon his own animal, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And upon the morrow, he having come forth, taking out two drachmas, he gave to the inn-keeper, and said to him, Take care, of him; and whatever thou spendest besides, I, in my coming back, will repay thee. Which then of these three seems to thee to have been neighbor to him fallen among rubbers.? And he said, He having done mercy with him. Then said Jesus to him, Go thou, and do likewise.

And he said to them, Which. of you shall have a friend, and shall-go to him at midnight, and should say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; Since my friend has come to me from the way, and I have not what I may set before him! read more. And he within, having.answered, should say, Offer not weariness to me already has the door been shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot having risen, give thee. I say to you, If also having risen he will not give him because of being his friend, yet for his effrontery, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs. And I say ' to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one asking, receives; and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking, it shall be opened. . And shall a son ask bread of any of you a father, will he give him a stone ? and if a fish, for a fish he will not give him a serpent. Or also if he ask an egg, he will not give him a scorpion. If then ye, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children; how much more the Father, be from heaven, will give the Holy Spirit to them asking him ?

And he spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man bore well: And he calculated in himself, saying, What shall I do, for I have not where I shall collect together my fruits? read more. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my stores, and build greater; and there will I collect all my produce and my good things. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years; rest, eat, drink, be gladdened. And God said to him, O foolish one, this night they require thy soul from thee: and what thou hast prepared, to whom shall it be? So he treasuring up for himself, and not rich toward God.

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye like men expecting their Lord, when he shall loose from the nuptials; that having come and knocked, they might quickly open to him. read more. Happy those servants, whom the Lord having come shall find watching; truly I say to you, he will gird himself, and make them recline, and having come he will serve them. And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, happy are those servants. And know this, that if the master of the house knew what hour the thief is coming, he had watched, and not have suffered his house to be undermined.

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time? Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing. read more. Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all his possessions. And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated; The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving.

No, I say to you: but except ye should change the mind, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that these were debtors above all men dwelling in Jerusalem? read more. No, I say: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. And he spake this parable: A certain had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it, and found not. And he said to the vine-dresser, Behold, three years I am come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find not: cut it off; wherefore also does it leave the earth unemployed? And he having answered says to him, Lord, let it go also this year, till I shall dig round it, and cast dung:

When thou art called to the nuptials, thou shouldest not recline in the first place at table; lest a more honourable than thou be called by him:

And he also said to him having called him, When thou makest a breakfast or supper, call not thy friends, nor thy rich neighbors, nor thy brethren; lest they call thee in return, and a giving back be to thee. But when thou makest an entertainment, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

And a certain of them having reclined together, having heard these things, said to him, Happy he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and called many; read more. And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to the called, Come; for all things are already prepared. And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come. And approaching, that servant announced to his lord these things. Then the master of the house, angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the streets and quarters of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as thou hest commanded, and yet there is place. And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and hedges, and compel to come in, that my house may be filled up. For I say to you, That none of those men called shall taste of my supper.

And he spake this parable to them, saying, What man of you, having one hundred. sheep, and having lost one of them, leaves not the ninety-nine in the desert, and goes for the one lost, till he find it read more. And having found, he puts upon his shoulders, rejoicing. And having come into the house, he calls together friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me: for I have found my lost sheep. I say to you, that so shall joy be in heaven over one sinful repenting, more than over ninety-nine just, which have no need of repentance. Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, lights not a lamp, and sweeps the house, and seeks diligently till she should find? And having found, she calls together female friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I found the drachma which I lost. So, I say to you, joy is in heaven before the messengers of God for one sinful changing the mind. And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of property falling. And he divided to them the property. And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far-off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner. And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want. And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into the fields to feed swine. And he eagerly desired to fill his belly with the fruits of the horntree which the swine ate: and none gave to him. And having come to himself, he said, Many hired of my father abound in loaves, and I am perishing with hunger! Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired. And having risen, he came to his father. And yet being far off, his father saw him, and felt compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I sinned against heaven, and before thee, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son. And the father said to his servants, Bring out the first robe, and clothe him; and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for the feet: And having brought the fatted calf, sacrifice, and eating, let us be gladdened. For this my son was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found. And they began to be gladdened. And his elder son was in the field: and coming, as he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and dances. And having called one of his servants, he inquired what these may be. And he said to him, That thy brother has come, and thy father has sacrificed the fatted calf; because he received him in good health. And he was angry and would not go in; then his father having come out, besought him. And he having answered said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never at any time passed by thy command: and never hast thou given me a kid, that I might be gladdened with my friends. And when this thy son, devouring thy property with harlots, came, thou hast sacrificed for him the fattened calf. And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all mine are thine. And to be gladdened, and to rejoice, was fitting: for this thy brother was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found.

A certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, being daily splendidly gladdened: And there was a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, who was cast at his gate, having been wounded, read more. And eagerly desirous to be fed from crumbs falling from the rich one's table: but also the dogs, coming, licked off his wounds. And it was, the beggar died, and was carried by messengers into Abraham's bosom: and the rich one died also, and was buried; And in hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham from far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he having called out, said, Father Abraham, pity me, and send Lazarus, that he might dip his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented. And besides all these, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed: so that they wishing to pass through thence to you could not; neither could they cross over from thence to us. And he said, Then I ask thee, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he might testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if some one from the dead go to them, they will change the mind. And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither if any rise from the dead, will they be persueded.

Neither shall they say, Behold here or, behold there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And he spake to them a parable, that they must always pray, and not lose courage; Saying, There was a certain judge in a certain city, fearing not God, and not occupied about man: read more. And a widow was in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a time: and after these he said in himself, And if I fear not God, and am not occupied about man; Yet because this widow produces fatigue to me, I will avenge her, lest in the end, coming, she give me a blow under the eyes. And the Lord said, Hear ye what the judge of injustice says. And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them? I say to you, that he will do their avenging swiftly. But the Son of man having come, shall he find faith upon earth And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable: Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican. read more. I fast twice of the Sabbath; I pay tithes of all I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

And Jesus having called them, said, Leave the young children to come to me, and hinder them not: for of such is time kingdom of God.

Then he said, A certain honourable man went into a country far off to take unto himself a kingdom, and to return. And having called his ten servants, he gave them ten coins, and said to them, Attend to business, till I come. read more. And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us. And it was in his coming back, having received the kingdom, and he spake to have these servants called to him, to whom he gave the silver, that he might know who had attended to any business. And the first approached, saying, Lord, thy coin has gained ten coins. And he said to him, Well, good servant: because thou west faithful in the least, be thou having power over ten cities. And the second came saying, Lord, thy coin made five coins. And he said to him, And be thou over five cities. And another came saying, Lord, behold, thy coin which I have placed in a napkin: For I feared thee, for thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and thou reapest what thou didst not sow. And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not: And wherefore gavest thou not my silver to the bankers, and I having come had received it with interest? And to those standing by he said, Take away from him the coin, and give to him having the ten coins. (And they said to him, Lord, he has ten coins.) For I say to you, That to every one having shall be given; and from him not having, and what he has shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

And Jesus said, Father, let them go; for they know not what they do. And having divided his garments, they cast lots.

And saying, If thou art king of the Jews, save thyself.

Truly, truly, I say to you, He not coming in through the door into the court-yard of the sheep, but coming up from another place, he is a thief and robber. And he coming in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. read more. To him the guard of the door opens; and the sheep hear his voice : and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

To him the guard of the door opens; and the sheep hear his voice : and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. And when he would put forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. read more. And a stranger they would not follow, but they will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. This proverb spake Jesus to then: and they knew not what things they were which he spake th them. Then said Jesus again to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, That I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep heard them not.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. read more. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me.

These have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the hour comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but with freedom of speech will I announce to you of the Father.
