They said to him, "Then why did Moses lay it down that we were to divorce by giving a separation-notice?"

He said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, on account of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not so from the beginning.

Then young children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples interfered, but Jesus said to them.

but Jesus said to them, "Let the children alone, do not stop them from coming to me: the Realm of heaven belongs to such as these."

Up came a man and said to him, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to gain life eternal?"

He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One alone is good. But if you want to get into Life, keep the commands."

"Which?" he said. Jesus answered, "The commands, you shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness,

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, "I have observed all these. What more is wanting?"

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell your property, give the money to the poor and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come and follow me."

And Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you truly, it will be difficult for a rich man to get into the Realm of heaven.

When the disciples heard this they were utterly astounded; they said, "Who then can possibly be saved?"

Jesus looked at them and said, "This is impossible for men, but anything is possible for God."

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

Jesus said to them, "I tell you truly, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones to govern 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 he said to them: Go you also into my vine yard, and whatever is right I will give you.

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

They said to him: No man has hired us. He said to them: Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.

When the evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and, beginning with the last, pay them their hire even 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 and said to one of them: Friend, I do you no in justice; did you not agree with me for a denarius?

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside on his journey, and said to them:

He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.

And he said to them: You shall drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.

But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have 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 stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you?

They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

"Go to the village facing you," he said, "and you will immediately find an ass tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.

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 not hear what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

and seeing a fig-tree on the road, he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves; and he said to it: Let no fruit grow on you henceforth forever. And the fig-tree immediately withered.

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

Jesus answered and said to them: Verily I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall do, not only what is done to the fig-tree, but even if you shall say to this mountain, Be taken up, and be thrown into the sea, it shall be done.

And after he had come 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 these things? And who gave you this authority?

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

He answered and said, I will not. But he afterward regretted it, and went.

And he came to the other, and spoke to him in like manner. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not.

Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

As a last resource he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said.

But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and seize upon the inheritance.

They said to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard to other vine dressers, who will give him the fruits in their season.

Jesus said to them: Did you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner?

"Again he sent out other slaves. 'Tell the invited guests,' he said, 'that my luncheon is now ready; my oxen and fat cattle are killed; everything is ready; come to the wedding-feast.'

Then he said to his servants: The marriage feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

"Then the king came in to inspect his guests, and he discovered there a man who had not put on a wedding-garment. He said to him,

And he said to him, Friend, how came you in hither without a wedding-robe? And he was silent.

Then the king said to his servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and throw him into the darkness without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.

They sent him their disciples with the Herodians, who said, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and that you teach the Way of God honestly and fearlessly; you do not court human favour.

But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said to them: "Why do you tempt me, hypocrites?

Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,

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?"

Jesus said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.

saying: What think you of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him: The son of David.

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

The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

And the one [who had] the two talents also came up [and] said, 'Master, you handed over to me two talents. See, I have gained two talents more!'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

And the one who had received the one talent came up also [and] said, 'Master, [because I] knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter [seed].

But his master answered [and] said to him, 'Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter [seed].
