And He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven He blessed them; and brake and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

They answering said, John the baptist: but others say Elias: and others, that some ancient prophet is risen again.

And He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ the Son of God.

And He said unto them all, if any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me:

And as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, He said to his disciples,

And Jesus knowing the thought of their heart, took a child and set him by Him, and said unto them,

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followeth not thee with us.

And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he, that is not against us, is for us.

And it came to pass, as the days were almost fulfilled of his being received up again into heaven, that He set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:

And as they were going by the way, there was one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest:

And He said to another, Follow me: but he said, Lord, permit me to go first and bury my father:

but Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee, but allow me first to go and take my leave of my family.

But Jesus said unto him, No one, that hath put his hand to the plough and looketh back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And He said unto them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few: pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that He would send out workmen to his harvest.

Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you;

And He said unto them, I beheld Satan, as lightning, falling from heaven.

At this time Jesus was transported with joy in his spirit and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father, for such was thy good pleasure.

And turning to the disciples, He said to them in particular, Blessed are the eyes that see what ye see:

And behold, a lawyer stood up to try Him, and said, Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

He said to him, What is written in the law? How readest thou there?

And He said unto him, Thou hast answered right; do this and thou shalt live.

But he willing to justify himself said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

And Jesus replying said, There was a certain man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thieves, who after they had stripped and beaten him, went away, leaving him half dead.

And by chance a certain priest came down that way, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And on the morrow, when he went away he took out two denaries, and gave them to the inn-keeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again I will repay thee.

And he said, He that took pity on him. Therefore said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou in like manner.

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, attending to his discourse.

But Martha, being perplexed about much serving, came to Him and said, Lord, dost thou not regard it, that my sister has left me to serve alone? speak to her therefore that she may help me.

And Jesus said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and in a hurry about many things: but one thing is necessary.

And as He was praying in a certain retired place, as soon as He had done, one of his disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.

And He said unto them, when ye pray, say, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done as in heaven so also upon earth;

And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine on his journey is come to me,

and I have nothing to set before him:

But some of them said, He casteth out demons by Beelzebub the prince of demons:

But He who well knew their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and a house against a house falleth: if Satan also be divided against himself,

and when he cometh he findeth it swept and set in order.

As He was speaking these things, a certain woman lifted up her voice from amidst the croud, and said, Happy is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck!

And as He spake, a certain pharisee asked Him to dine with him: and He went in and sat down at table.

But the Lord said unto him, ye pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness.

Wo unto you pharisees; for ye love the chief seat in synagogues, and salutations in public places.

And one of the doctors of the law answered and said unto Him, Master, in saying these things thou reproachest us also.

And He said, Wo unto you also, ye interpreters of the law, for ye load men with insupportable burthens, and ye yourselves touch not the burthens with one of your fingers.

And therefore the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute:

Therefore whatsoever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in the light: and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.

And one among the multitude said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me: but He said unto him,

Man, who set me over you as a judge or divider?

And He said unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of his possessions.

And he said, This I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will bestow all my products and my goods.

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?

And He said to his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on:

Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will come and serve them.

Then said Peter unto Him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us only, or to all others likewise?

And the Lord said, Who is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure of food in due season?

Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath.

He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves:

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground?

And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:

And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

But the ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.

The Lord therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering?

Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?

It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.

And again He said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?

But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.

Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.

And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:

and said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out even on the sabbath-day?

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not sit down in the uppermost place, least one more honorable than thou be invited by him;

But when thou art invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, that, when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then wilt thou have honor before them that sit at table with thee:

He said also to him that had invited Him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor thy rich neighbors; least they invite thee again, and so a return be made thee.

And one of those; who sat at table with Him, hearing these things, said unto Him, Happy is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Upon which He said, A certain man made a great supper and invited many;

And they all with one consent began to make excuses; the first said, I have bought a field, and I must go and see it, pray have me excused.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going to try them, pray have me excused.

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

So the servant came and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go directly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.

And the servant said, Sir, it is done according to thine order, and still there is room.

And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the high-ways and hedges, and press them to come in, that my house may be filled:

so he turned and said to them, If any man come to me, and does not comparatively hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple.

For who of you that hath a mind to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expence, whether he hath wherewithal to perfect it?

Or what king, going to engage with another king in battle, doth not sit down first and consult, whether he be able with ten thousand men to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

And He said, a certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father,

But coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger?

And his son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his servants, bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and well: but he was angry, and would not go in.

But he answered and said to his father, Behold so many years as I serve thee, nor have I ever transgressed thy command, and yet thou hast never given me a kid, to be merry with my friends:

And he said unto him, Son, thou art always with me, and all that I have is thine.

And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.

And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.

And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg.

So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
