In the [same] way it is not the will {of} your Father [who is] in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

But if he does not listen, take with you in addition one or two [others], so that by {the testimony} of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.

if he does not relent, tell it to the church: but if he is not moved by the church, show him no more regard than you would to a pagan or a publican.

"I tell you all in solemn truth that whatever you forbid upon earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father [who is] in heaven.

For where there are two or three that have come together for my sake, there I am in the midst of them.

"That is why the kingdom from heaven may be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.

And [because] he did not have [enough] to repay [it], the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

Then that servant falling prostrate, paid him the most profound homage, saying, Lord, have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all.

So the master of that slave, [because he] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

But that slave went out [and] found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke [him], saying, 'Pay back everything that you owe!'

So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.

and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

Then his master summoned him [and] said to him, 'Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’

And [because he] was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.

That is what my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not each forgive your brothers from your hearts!"

When Jesus finished saying this he moved from Galilee and went to the territory of Judaea that lies across the Jordan.

He replied, "Have you never read that He who created them male and female from the beginning

and said, "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

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

He told them, "It was because of your hardness of heart that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning it was not this way.

Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the basis of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."

The disciples said to him, "If that is a man's position with his wife, there is no good in marrying."

He said unto them, "All men cannot away with that saying, save they to whom it is given.

for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray over them. The disciples checked the people,

"Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs."

So he laid his hands upon them, and departed from that place.

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 unto him - Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.

the young man answer'd, all these things have I practis'd from my youth: what is it that is further required?

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

When the young man heard that, he went sadly away, for he had great possessions.

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

I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich man to get into the Realm of God."

When his disciples heard that, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

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.

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

So they went. When he went out again about noon and three o'clock that afternoon, he did the same thing.

And about five o'clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why are you standing here all day without work?'

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

But when those came who had been hired first, they thought that they would receive more; and they received each one a denarius.

that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day -- and the heat.

take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;

Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my own money? Or, is it that your eye is envious because I choose to be so generous?'

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.

"You shall indeed drink my cup," he said, "but as to a seat at my right and at my left--that is not mine to give, but it is for those 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.

That's not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

That's the way it is with the Son of Man. He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

And behold, two blind men, sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.

But the multitude rebuked them, that they should be silent. But they cried the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Thou Son of David!"

And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said, "What do you wish that I should do to you?"

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

saying unto them - Be going into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, ye shall find an ass, bound, and a colt with her, - loose them, and lead them unto me.

If anyone says anything to you, you will say that the Lord needs them; then he will at once let them go."

All this was done, that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

And the multitudes that went before, and that followed after, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

And the multitude said: This is Jesus the prophet, that is from Nazareth of Galilee.

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,

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 they said to him, 'Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, 'Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'

then leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany, where he stay'd that night.

Seeing a lone fig tree at the roadside, He went to it and found nothing but leaves on it; and He said to it, “Never again will fruit come from you.” And at once the fig tree withered.

When the disciples saw it, they were dumbfounded, and asked, "How is it that the fig tree withered up all at once?"

In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Up, cast yourself into the sea!' it shall be done;

And all things that you ask for in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

and Jesus answered them, let me ask you one question, if ye answer me that, I shall likewise satisfy you by what authority I do these things.

And if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet."

He went to the second son and said the same thing. That son replied, '[Yes], sir, I will,' [but] then did not go.

Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith to them, Truly do I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

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.

Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive his fruits.

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

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is his heir, come on, let us kill him, and get all that is coming to him!'

They said to Him, “He will put those despicable men to a miserable end, and rent out the vineyard to other tenants [of good character] who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures, The stone that the builders rejected is the chief stone now of the corner: this is the doing of the Lord, and a wonder to our eyes?

This was from the Lord, and it is wondrous in our eyes. For this reason, I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation that will bring forth the fruits of it.

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 when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.

and would have seized Him, but that they were afraid of the people; because they took Him for a prophet.

The kingdom of heaven is like a king that made a marriage feast for his son;

and sent forth his servants, to call them that were bid to the wedding: and they would not come.

"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.'

But they paid no attention [and] went away--this one to his own field, that one to his business.

And when that king heard of it, he was angry, and sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

After that he said to his slaves, 'My wedding reception is ready, but those invited have proved unworthy.

accordingly they went about the streets, and assembled all they met indifferently, both good and bad: so that the hall was furnished with guests.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man that had not put on a wedding-robe.

So he said to him 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding-robe?' The man was speechless.
