"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, that a man found [and] concealed, and in his joy he goes and sells everything that he has and buys that field.

and meeting with one of great value, presently sells all that he has to make the purchase.

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind,

which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out.

And he said to them, "For this [reason] every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of the house who brings out of his storeroom new [things] and old [things]."

And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these works of power?

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this man all these things?

and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and for this [reason] miraculous powers are at work in him."

And evening coming on, His disciples came to Him, saying, The place is deserted and the time has already gone by. Send the crowd away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

but your doctrine is this, if any man declares to his father or mother, that whatever he has to give for their relief is dedicated to the temple; he is not oblig'd to regard his father or his mother.

is under no obligation at all to help his parent.' So you have set aside what God has said for the sake of what has been handed down to you.

Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

Then his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

On leaving that place, Jesus went to the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and then went up the hill, and sat down., you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill 'Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!' it would be done.

And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and has a threatening look.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but cannot interpret the signs of the times?

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

And I also say unto thee, as thou art called Peter, so upon this rock, which thou hast confessed, will I build my church, and the gates of death shall not prevail against it.

And having turned, he said to Peter, Retire behind me, Satan: thou art an offence, to me: for thou hast not in mind the things of God, but the things of men.

Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to {what he has done}.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:

But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the [same] way also the Son of Man is going to suffer [at] their hands."

and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.

For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.

What do you think? If {a certain man has} a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go [and] look for the one that wandered away?

And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.

But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.

Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said: "Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?"

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."

He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.

And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

His disciples [then] said to Jesus, "If this is the way it has to be between a man and his wife, it is not worth getting married."

But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this saying but [those] to whom it has been given.

Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of Man has taken His seat on His glorious throne, all of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive.

saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:

just as the Son of Man has come, not to be served but to serve, and to give His life a ransom price to set many free."

And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.

Now this has come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

And He saith to them, "It has been written, 'My house, shall be called a house of prayer; but ye are making it a den of robbers!'"

and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

And when the disciples saw it, they were astonished, and said: How soon has the fig-tree withered!

And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.

Jesus says to them, Did you never see in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has been made the chief stone of the building: this was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,

and said unto him, 'Friend, how fortuned it that thou camest in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment?' And he was even speechless.

For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;

But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken [in your reasoning], not knowing [what] the Scriptures [teach] or [how much] power God has.

and the second has an affinity with it, "thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self."

'The Lord has said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, Until I put your enemies under your feet!'

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be raised to honor.

Fools that you are and blind! Which is the more important? The gold? Or the Temple which has given sacredness to the gold?

that upon you may come all the righteous blood which has been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just to the blood of Zachariah, the son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! The city that has kept on murdering the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to her, how often I have yearned to gather your children around me, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you refused!

Behold, your house has been left to you desolate

And you will hear of wars [going on] and rumors of [other] wars [pending]. Do not worry, for such things must necessarily happen. But the end has not yet come. [Note: By "the end" here Jesus probably alludes to the downfall of Jerusalem, in AD 70, with its attending destruction of the Temple buildings].

but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;

But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.

Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

Truly, I say to you, he will put him over all he has.

"But if that wicked servant says to himself, "My master has been delayed,'

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

but at midnight a cry has been made, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him!'

Then his master said unto him, 'Well, good servant and faithful; Thou hast been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much: enter in into thy master's joy.'

And his master said unto him, 'Well, good servant and faithful; Thou hast been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much: go in into thy master's joy.'

Then he who had received the one talent came, and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed:

and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.

Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he 'will take his seat on his throne of glory';

Then the King will say to those at His right side, 'You who are blessed by my Father, come and receive the kingdom which has been prepared for you since the creation of the world,

Then he will also say to those on [his] left, 'Depart from me, [you] accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

But Jesus, knowing [this], said to them, "Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.

For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."

He answered, "The man who has just dipped his hand with me in the dish is the man who is going to betray me.

The Son of Man goes, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, Thou hast said.

Then Jesus saith to them, "All ye will be made to stumble because of Me this night; for it has been written, 'I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad.'

Peter answered Him, "[Even] if everyone [else] has doubts about you, I never will."

Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what hast thou come! Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and seized him.

But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?
