But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.

And the crowds that walked ahead and followed behind Him shouted, "Hosanna to the son of David. [Note: The Syriac word 'Hosanna' originally meant 'save now' but came to be used as an expression of welcome, praise, blessing or acclamation]. May He, who comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord, be blessed. Hosanna in the highest [i.e., may this blessing reach to the highest heaven]."

and said to them: It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, their anger was aroused,

and said to him, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, "From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare 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.

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.

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?

But if we reply, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet.

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.

Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. 'I will not,' he answered; but afterwards he was sorry and went.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And you, when you had seen it, after ward felt no regret, that you might believe him.

But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

Again, he sent other servants to them, a greater number than the first, but the tenant farmers treated them the same way.

But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

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.

And he that falls upon this stone shall be dashed to pieces; but him on whom it shall fall, it will make like chaff for the wind.

And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitudes, because they regarded him as a prophet.

He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the banquet, but they were unwilling to come.

But, when the king went in to see his guests, he noticed there a man who had not put on a wedding-robe.

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

For many are called, but few chosen.

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

now there happen'd among us seven brothers, the first married but died without issue, leaving his wife to his brother:

But Jesus, answering, said to them, "Ye deceive yourselves, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God;

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

But, concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying:

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. And the multitude hearing it, were astonished at his doctrine.

But the Pharisees, hearing that He silenced the Sadducees, were collected together;

But all their works they do with the view to be seen by men; for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge their fringes;

But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' because one is your teacher, and you are all brothers,

And call ye no man your father upon the earth, for there is but one, your father, and he is in heaven.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you shut the kingdom of heaven before people! For you do not enter, nor permit those wanting to go in to enter.

But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye are locking up the kingdom of the heavens before men, - for, ye, are not entering, neither, them who are entering, suffer ye to enter.

"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound [by his oath].'

but if any man swear by the gold of the temple, the oath is binding. Foolish and blind creatures! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gift [that is] on it is bound [by his oath].'

whoever swears by the altar, swears not only by the altar, but by every thing upon it.

And the person who takes an oath 'by the Temple,' [not only] swears by it, but [also] by Him [i.e., God] who lives there.

"Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin; and have omitted the weightier things of the law??he judgment, and the mercy, and the faith; but these it was proper to have done, and those not to have omitted.

Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean!

In the [same] way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

[But by saying this] you are witnesses [against] yourselves, that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets [i.e., indicating your approval of their actions].

But he answered [and] said to them, "Do you not see all these [things]? Truly I say to you, not [one] stone will be left here on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.

But all these [things] [are] the beginning of birth pains.

But the one who endures to the end--this person will be saved.

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

But pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.

And unless those days had been shortened, {no human being would be saved}. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

But five of them were provident, and five foolish.

The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;

But the wise ones took olive oil in flasks with their lamps.

But as the bridegroom stayed long, they all slumbered and slept.

But in the middle of the night there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

"But the foolish ones told the wise, "Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out!'

But the wise ones answered saying, "Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell [olive oil] and buy [some] for yourselves.'

But [while] they had gone away to buy [it] the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.

But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying - Lord! Lord! open unto us!

But he answered [and] said, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you!'

But the one who had received the one went away [and] dug up the ground and hid his master's money.

But he also who, the one talent, had received, coming forward, said - Lord I knew thee, that thou art a, hard, man, reaping, where thou hast not sown, - and gathering, whence thou hast not winnowed;

But cast out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'

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

And he will set, the sheep, indeed, on his right hand, but, the goats, on the left.

But when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

"But the King will answer them, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you rendered such services to one of the humblest of these my brethren, you rendered them to myself.'

For I was hungry but you never fed me, I was thirsty but you never gave me drink,

I was a stranger but you never entertained me, I was unclothed but you never clothed me, I was ill and in prison but you never looked after me.'
