Then came unto him the Pharisees to tempt him, and said to him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for all manner of causes?"

And he answered [and] said, "Have you not read that the one who created [them] from the beginning made them male and female

and said, 'On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

He said to them, "Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this.

The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!"

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

Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

But Jesus said, "Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, {for to such belongs} the kingdom of heaven."

And behold, someone came up to him [and] said, "Teacher, what good [thing] must I do so that I will have eternal life?"

And he said to him, "Why are you asking me about [what is] good? There is one [who is] good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!"

He said to him, "Which [ones]?" And Jesus said, "Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

The young man said to him, "All these I have observed. What do I still lack?"

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!

The disciples were greatly astonished when they heard this and said, "Then who can be saved?"

But Jesus looked at [them] [and] said to them, "With human beings this is impossible, but with God all [things] [are] possible."

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that in the renewal [of the world], when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me--you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place, and said to them,

And to those [people] he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.'

And about the eleventh [hour] he went out [and] found others standing [there] and said to them, 'Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?'

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'

And [when] evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last up to the first.'

'These last,' they said, 'have done only one hour's work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day's work, and the heat.'

But he answered one of them [and] said, 'Friend, I am not doing you wrong. Did you not come to an agreement with me for a denarius?

And [as] Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples by themselves and said to them on the way,

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom."

But Jesus answered [and] said, "You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

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."

But Jesus called them to himself [and] said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions exercise authority over them.

The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.

And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, "What do you want me to do for you?"

They said to him, "Lord, that our eyes be opened!"

and said to them, Go into the village opposite to you, and you will immediately find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them, and lead them to me:

Now this happened in fulfilment of what was said by the prophet,

And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was moved, and said: Who is this?

And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

And he said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!"

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he said to it, "May there be no more fruit from you {forever}, and the fig tree withered at once.

upon which the disciples said to one another, much surpriz'd, how came the fig-tree to wither away so suddenly?

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only [what was done to] the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will happen!

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this power?"

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "I also will ask you one question. If you tell [the answer] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

The immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

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

"Now what do you think? A man had two sons. [He] approached the first [and] said, 'Son, go work in the vineyard today.'

And he answered [and] said, 'I do not want to!' But later [he] changed his mind [and] went.

And [he] approached the second [and] said the same [thing]. So he answered [and] said, 'I [will], sir,' and he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

At last he sent his son to them, for he said to himself, 'They will surely respect my son.'

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

They said to him, "He will destroy those evil [men] completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season."

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become {the cornerstone}. This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

And Jesus, talking to them again in stories, said:

"The Realm of heaven," he said, "may be compared to a king who gave a marriage-banquet in honour of his son.

A second time he sent other slaves, and said to them, 'Tell the invited guests that I have my reception all ready, my bullocks and fatlings are butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding reception!'

Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough.

but upon the king's coming in to see the guests, he observ'd one there without a wedding garment: and he said to him,

And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?' But {he could say nothing}.

Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him by what He said.

They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.

But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?

And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it?

They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

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;

For they all had her. Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.

But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,

"Teacher," he said, "what is the greatest command in the Law?"

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

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

He said to them, "How then does David, by the Spirit, call him 'Lord,' saying,

The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put under your feet all those who are against you?

Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:

said, the Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's chair.

But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.

While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to Him by themselves, and said, "Tell us when this is to take place, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age."

And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lights are going out.

“Later the rest of the virgins also came and said, ‘Master, master, open up for us!’

The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

Then the master said, "Take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents,

But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.
