For there are eunuchs from birth, who were born so from their mother; and there are eunuchs who are made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive [this doctrine] let him receive it.

Then little children were brought to him that he should put his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

And he put his hands on them and departed thence.

And he said to him, Why do you ask me of the good? one is the good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.

He said to him, What? And Jesus said, this; You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not testify falsely;

And when the young man heard [this] he went away sad, for he had great possessions.

And agreeing with the laborers for a denarius [14 cents] a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market;

and he said to them, go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went.

Again going out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did likewise.

And going out about the eleventh hour he found others standing, and said to them, Why stand you all the day idle?

They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard.

But he answered and said to one of them, Neighbor, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius [14 cents]?

and deliver him to the gentiles, to mock, and scourge, and crucify him; and on the third day he shall be raised.

And he said to her, What do you wish? She said to him, Say that these my two sons shall sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in your kingdom.

He said to them; you shall drink indeed of my cup; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

and if any one asks you why, say that the Lord has need of them, and he will immediately send them.

and brought the ass and the colt, and put garments on them, and he sat on them.

and the multitudes that went before, and those that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!

And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?

And the blind and crippled came to him in the temple, and he cured them.

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful works which he performed, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! they were displeased,

And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

And returning into the city in the morning he was hungry;

and seeing a fig tree by the way he went to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only, and he said to it, Let there be no fruit on you forever. And the fig tree immediately withered,

and the disciples seeing it, wondered and said, How soon is this fig tree withered!

AND Jesus having gone into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say to us, Why did you not believe him?

And they answered Jesus, and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

But what do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first, and said, Son, go and work to-day in the vineyard.

But he answered and said, I will not; but afterwards he repented, and went.

And he came to the other, and said the same. And he answered and said, I will go sir, but went not.

And when the time of the fruits approached he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them in the same manner.

And afterwards he sent them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husbandmen?

They said to him, He will inflict on those men a miserable death, and let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing his parables, knew that he spoke of them;

And he sent his servants to call the invited to the wedding, and they would not come.

Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell the invited, Behold, I have prepared my supper, my oxen and fatted creatures are killed, and all things are ready; come to the wedding.

Then he said to his servants, The wedding indeed is ready, but the invited were not worthy.

and said to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

And he said to them, Whose is this image and this inscription?

They said to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give therefore Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God.

Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first married, and died; and having no children he left his wife to his brother;

And the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were assembled together,

And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind.

saying, What do you think of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him, David's.

He said to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?

and whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you compass the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.

Woe to you blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound.

If a man swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if be swears by the gift which is on it, he is bound.

He then that swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it;

and he that swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that inhabits it;

and he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits on it.

Serpents, offspring of vipers! How can you escape the judgment of hell?

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, as a bird gathers her brood under her wings, but you would not!

for I tell you that you shall not see me henceforth, till you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord!

And he answered and said to them, Do you not see all these things? I tell you truly, there shall not be left here stone upon stone that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat on the Mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us when these things shall be; and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the consummation of the world?

but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness, go not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not.

And he shall send his angels with a loud sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from the one end of heaven to the other.

But know this, that if the householder had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken into.

Blessed is that servant whom his Lord, when he comes, shall find so doing.

I tell you truly, that he will place him over all his estates.

the Lord of that servant will come on a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour that he knows not of,

But he answered and said, I tell you truly I know you not.

to one he gave five talents [$5,000], to another two [$2,000], and to another one [$1,000]; to each according to his ability, and immediately went abroad.

And he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five;

in like manner, also, he that received the two gained two others;

but he that received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord's money.

And he that received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you committed to me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents.

And he that received the two talents also came to him and said, Lord, you committed to me two talents; behold, I have gained two others.

And he that received the one talent also came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sowed, and gathering where you have not scattered,

for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have an abundance; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away;

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory,

and all the nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

and he shall place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.

Then shall he say to those on his left hand, Depart from me accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Then he shall answer them saying, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have not done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have not done it to me.

WHEN Jesus had finished all these words he said to his disciples,

a woman came to him having a vase of very costly ointment, and poured it on his head, as he reclined.

And from that time he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up.

And he said, Go into the city to such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover with you, together with my disciples.

and when it was evening he reclined with the twelve.

And as they were eating, he said, I tell you truly, that one of you will betray me.

But he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.

And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He said to him, As you say.

And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink you all of it;

And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and dejected.

Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful even to death; remain here and watch with me.

And going forward a little, he fell on his face, and prayed and said, My Father, if it is possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou wilt.

And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, Are you so unable to watch with me one hour?

Going away again a second time, he prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, thy will be done.

And he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy.
