Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.

And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.

But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!

I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:

And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.

But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.

And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.

And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.

And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;

For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.

It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.

Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.

But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?

In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;

And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.

For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

Keep in mind Lot's wife.

I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.

I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them

Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.

And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,

But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.

And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.

And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.

And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?

And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.

And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.

And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,

Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.

And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.

And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.

And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God:

But he saw through their trick and said to them,

Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.

And he said, Then give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

Master, Moses said that if a man's brother comes to his end, having a wife, but no children, his brother is to take the wife, and get a family for his brother.

And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?

And looking up, he saw the men of wealth putting their offerings in the money-box.

And he saw a certain poor widow putting in a farthing.

And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:

As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.

And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;

Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

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

And he made a story for them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees;

In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.

Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all things are complete.

For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.

For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.
