In the mean time, when there was gathered an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

And I say to you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.

Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.

And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

For the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.

And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them: How much more are ye better than the fowls?

Consider the lilies how they grow: They toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them.

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

In truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the men-servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken?

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

And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

And when ye perceive the south wind blowing, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity.

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

When once the master of the house hath risen, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he will answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

Then ye will begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

But he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves excluded.

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And verily I say to you, ye shall not see me, until the time shall come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.

So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, who need no repentance.

Likewise, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?

And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own?

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried:

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

But which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him immediately, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to eat?

And will not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drank; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all the things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which it was our duty to do.

And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were going, they were cleansed.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

Neither will they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And he said to his disciples, The days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the son of man, and ye shall not see it.

And they will say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

For as the lightning that lighteneth from the one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Remember Lot's wife.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,

And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.

And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-tree to see him; for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down: for to-day I must abide at thy house.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.

And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest me to be an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:

For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.

And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.

And he looked up, and saw rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting in thither two mites.

And he said, Of a truth I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.

But before all these they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

And ye will be hated by all men for my name's sake.

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that its desolation is nigh.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for apprehension of those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.

When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your ownselves that summer is now nigh at hand.

So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
