No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you [too] will all be destroyed just as they were."

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

"when once the master of the house is risen up and has shut the door. You will begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, crying, "'Lord, open to us.' "'I do not know were you came from,' he will reply.

Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

"But he will answer. "'I tell you I do not know were you came from;

then you will see those, who were last, become first: and those who were first, become last.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!

AND it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the principal Pharisees, to eat bread on the sabbath, that they were watchfully observant of him.

And Jesus responding spoke to the theologians and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath-day, or not? and they were silent.

But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

Then continuing his discourse, which of you, said he, if his child or his ox fell into a pit, would not immediately draw him out, though it were on the sabbath-day?

And they were unable to answer him in opposition to these things.

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,

And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

upon which Jesus said, a certain man made a great entertainment; where many were invited.

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

And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Now there were great multitudes going along with Him:

Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him.

And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

And he was longing to fill his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving [anything] to him.

For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

And he also said to the disciples, "A certain man was rich, who had a manager. And charges were brought to him that this person was squandering his possessions.

If, therefore, ye were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?

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

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

and desiring to be fed with the crumbs falling from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

'But, Father Abraham,' he urged, 'if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.'

'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,' answered Abraham, 'they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.'"

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

"If your faith," answered Jesus, "were like a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this tree, 'Tear yourself up and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Who is it, if he had a servant a plowing, or feeding cattle, that would say unto him when he were come from the field, 'Go quickly and sit down to meat.'

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

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 it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,

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

And he fell on his face at Jesus' feet and thanked Him. And he was a Samaritan. [Note: Samaritans were despised by the Jews and regarded as a 'half-breeds'].

And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?

They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:

And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

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.

As they were near Jericho, a blind man happen'd to sit begging by the road,

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

and immediately he saw: and followed Jesus, glorifying God: and all the people, who were eye-witnesses, gave praise unto God.

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

For the Son of man came to search for and save those who were lost."

And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

But his citizens were hating him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not wish this man to be king over us.'

And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

And it happened when Jesus got close to Bethphage and Bethany [Note: These were two small towns about two miles east of Jerusalem], at a hill called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

And [as] he was going along, they were spreading out their cloaks on the road.

They were saying, 'May the King who comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord, be blessed. May there be peace in heaven and praise [to God] in the highest [i.e., may this praise reach to the highest heaven].'

upon this some of the Pharisees, who were in the crowd, said to him, master, rebuke your disciples.

And He answered them, I tell you, that if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.

saying: Hadst thou known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which were for thy peace! But now, they are hid from thy eyes.

They will level you to the ground you and those who live within your city limits. They will not leave one stone on another within your walls, because you didn't recognize the time when you were visited."

And he went into the Temple and put out those who were trading there,

And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;

But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.

"And if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that John was a prophet."

"But, seeing him, the husbandmen were reasoning one with another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.'

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 kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

Now there were seven brothers. And the first brother married a wife and died childless.

[Now] whose wife will she be in the resurrected state, for all seven [brothers] were married to her?"

For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.

While all the people were listening, He said to His disciples,

AND as he looked up, he saw some casting their gifts into the treasury who were rich.

So, He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all the rest [i.e., referring to the many rich people who were also throwing in money].

Now while some people were talking about the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and votive-offerings, He said,

And all the people were getting up very early in the morning [to come] to him in the temple [courts] to listen to him.

So the high priests and the scribes continued to seek how they might put Him to death, for they were afraid of the people.

They were delighted and made a bargain to pay him for it.

And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

He answered. "No sooner will you have entered the city than you will meet a man carrying a water-jug. Follow him into the house were he is going.

And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired you, to sift you, as it were wheat:

And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

For I tell you that this [passage of Scripture], which was written about me, must be fulfilled [Isa. 53:12]: 'And He [i.e., Jesus] was counted with [i.e., as though He were one of] the criminals.' For the part [of that passage] that refers to me is being fulfilled."

And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying,

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

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

So, He said to them, "Why were you sleeping? Get up and pray so you do not give in [to the devil] under trials."

Those who were about Him saw what was about to take place, and said, "Lord, shall we use our swords now?"

Then Jesus said to the high priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come to take Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as though I were a robber?
