And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

And his disciples James and John seeing it said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak that fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see [the things] which you see, and did not see [them], and to hear [the things] which you hear, and did not hear [them]."

A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.

And he said, He who did mercy with him. Therefore Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?

but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.

The men of Ninive will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for when Jonah preached they did repent, and here is One greater than Jonah.

And the Pharisee, [when he] saw [it], was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal.

A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.

And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

And he told this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find [any].

So he said to the gardener, 'Behold, {for three years} I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find [any]. Cut it down! Why should it even exhaust the soil?'

and Jesus having seen her, did call her near, and said to her, 'Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'

and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, and all the people were delighted at all the splendid things that he did.

It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.'

It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.'

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, - and ye did not desire!

But they did not say anything. So, Jesus took hold of the [sick] man, and [after] healing him, sent him away.

and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.

and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called thy son.

because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

and he said to him -- Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.

But he became angry and did not want to go in. So his father came out [and] began to implore him.

And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?

And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive -- thou -- thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'

And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'

'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;

For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man--you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!'

And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, [when I] returned, would have collected it with interest?'

But these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring [them] here and slaughter them [in] my presence!'"

having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring it;

And when the time was come, he sent a servant to his tenants, that they should give him of the fruits of the vineyard. And the tenants did beat him: and sent him away empty.

And again he ceased not thereby but sent yet another servant. And they did beat him, and foul entreated him also, and sent him away empty.

and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.

And they were not able to get hold of anything Jesus said in front of the people. And they marveled at His answer and did not say anything [further].

[Now] there were these seven brothers; the first one got married, but when he died he did not leave any children behind.

Then the second one did the same thing.

and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.

For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.

And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury -- rich men,
