And they were silent. And taking him, He healed him and let him go.

And He answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer Him again as to these things.

When you are invited by anyone to a wedding, do not recline in the chief seat, lest a more honorable man than you may be invited by him.

And he who invited you and him shall come and say to you, Give place to this man; and then you begin with shame to take the last place.

And He also said to him who invited Him, When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends or your brothers, or your kinsmen, or your rich neighbors; lest they also invite you again, and a recompense be made to you.

And one of those who reclined with Him heard these things, and he said to Him, Blessed are those eating bread in the kingdom of God.

And He said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

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

And great crowds went with Him. And He turned and said to them,

lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all those seeing begin to mock him,

Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

It is not fit for the land, nor for manure, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

And all the tax-collectors and sinners drew near to Him in order to hear Him.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country. And he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, and no one gave to him.

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

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

And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you, and am no more worthy to be called your son.

But the father said to his servants, Bring 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, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him safe and sound.

And he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and entreated him.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fattened calf.

And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

And He also said to His disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward. And he was accused to him, that he had wasted his goods.

And he called him and said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you may no longer be steward.

And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.

And he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill and write eighty.

And the unjust steward's lord commended him because he had done wisely. For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And being money-lovers, all the Pharisees also heard all these things. And they derided Him.

And he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.

And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

And He said to the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come. But woe to him through whom they come!

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him.

And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.

But which of you who has a servant plowing or feeding will say to him immediately after he has come from the field, Come, recline?

Will he not say to him, Prepare something so that I may eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink. And afterward you shall eat and drink.

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

And as He entered into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood afar off.

And he fell down on his face at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan.

And He said to him, Rise and go; your faith has cured you.

In that day he who shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise, he who is in the field, let him not return to the things behind.

And they answered and said to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

And a widow was in that city. And she came to Him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry day and night to Him, though He has been long-suffering over them?

And they also brought infants to Him, that He might touch them. But when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? None is good except One, God.

And when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, Yet you lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven. And come, follow Me.

And they will scourge Him and put Him to death, and the third day He will rise again.

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passed by.

And they who were in front rebuked him that he should be quiet. But he cried so much the more, Son of David! Have mercy on me.

And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,

And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight! Your faith has saved you.

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

And he ran in front and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him. For He was to pass through that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him. And He said to him, Zaccheus! Hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.

And hurrying he came down, and received Him joyfully.

And Jesus said to him, This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

But his citizens hated him. And they sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this one to reign over us.

And when he had received his kingdom and had returned, then it happened that he commanded these servants to be called to him; the ones to whom he had given the silver; so that he might know what each had gained by trading.

And he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you have been faithful in a least thing, have authority over ten cities.

And he said the same to him, You be over five cities.

And he said to him, I will judge you out of your own mouth, wicked servant! You knew that I was a harsh man, taking up what I had not laid down and reaping what I did not sow.

And he said to those who stood by, Take the mina from him and give it to him who has ten minas.

And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

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

And if anyone asks you, Why are you untying it? You will say this to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

And they said, The Lord has need of him.

And they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their garments on the colt. And they set Jesus on it.

And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

And He taught in the temple daily. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him.

And they could not find what they might do, for all the people were hanging on Him, listening.

And on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and proclaimed the gospel, it happened that the chief priests and the scribes along with the elders came on Him.

And they spoke to Him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or who is he who gave you this authority?

And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we shall say, From Heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

And in season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, so that they should give him the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty.

And again he sent another servant. And they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent a third. And they also wounded him and cast him out.

And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that they will respect him when they see him.

But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir! Come, let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.

So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?

Whoever shall fall on that Stone shall be broken, but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."

And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on Him the same hour. And they feared the people, for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.

And they watched and sent forth spies, pretending themselves to be righteous men, so that they might seize upon a word of His, that they might deliver Him in this way to the power and authority of the governor.

And they asked Him, saying, Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and do not accept the person of anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

And certain of the Sadducees came, those speaking against a resurrection, that it was not to be. And they asked Him,

For He is not God of the dead, but of the living. For all live to Him.

And after that they did not dare ask Him anything.

David then calls Him Lord; how then is He his son?

And they asked Him, saying, Teacher, but when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things are about to take place?

And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple, in order to hear Him.

And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

And going, he talked with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

And they were glad and they agreed to give him silver.

And he fully consented, and he sought opportunity to betray Him to them, away from the crowd.

And they said to Him. Where do You desire that we prepare?

And He said to them, Behold, when you have entered into the city, you will meet a man bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he enters.
