when once the master of the house has gotten up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock [on] the door, saying, 'Lord, open [the door] for us!' And he will answer [and] say to you, 'I do not know where you are from!'

Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets!'

And he will reply, saying to you, 'I do not know where you are from! Go away from me, all [you] {evildoers}!'

In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside!

And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

And behold, [some] are last who will be first, and [some] are first who will be last."

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

And he said to them, "Go [and] tell that fox, 'Behold, I am expelling demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third [day] I will complete [my work].'

Nevertheless I must travel on today and tomorrow and the day after that—for it cannot be that a prophet would die outside of Jerusalem.

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.

Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until [the time] will come when you say, 'Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

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

and the one who invited you {both} will come [and] say to you, 'Give the place to this person,' and then with shame you will begin to take the last place.

But when you are invited, go [and] recline at the table in the last place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then it will be an honor to you in the presence of all those who are reclining at the table with you.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

and you will be blessed, because they are not able to repay you. For it will be paid back to you at the resurrection of the righteous."

Now [when] one of those reclining at the table with [him] heard these [things], he said to him, "Blessed [is] {everyone who} will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

"The second said: 'I have bought five yolk of oxen and am on my way to try them. I pray that you will have me excused.'

"So the servant came and brought these answers to his master, and they stirred his anger. "'Go out quickly,' he said, 'into the streets of the city--the wide ones and the narrow. You will see poor men, and crippled, blind, lame: fetch them all in here.'

And the master said to the slave, 'Go out into the highways and hedges and press [them] to come in, so that my house will be filled!

For I say to you that none of those persons who were invited will taste my banquet!'"

For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

{Otherwise} [after] he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish [it], all who see [it] will begin to ridicule him,

this man, will they say, began to build, but wanted stock to finish.

Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

or else while the other is yet a great way off, he will send ambassadors, and desire peace.

So then, every one of you who will not part with all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.

"Now salt [is] good, but if salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be made salty?

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

I tell you that in the [same] way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?

and when 'tis found, will she not call her friends aud neighbours together, and say, rejoice with me, for I have found the piece, I had lost?

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

And a few days later, this younger son gathered everything together and traveled to a distant country where he squandered his possessions in wild living.

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

And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,

And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.

The steward said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master will take away from me the stewardship. I cannot dig, and to beg, I am ashamed.

I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!'

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it runs out they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings.

He that is faithful in a small trust, will be faithful in a greater: and he that is unfaithful in a little, will be unfaithful in much.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

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

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’

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

where I have five brothers. Then he could warn them so that they will not [have to] come to this [terrible] place of torment also.'

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.

“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,” the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

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

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

He will not {be grateful} to the slave because he did what was ordered, [will he]?

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

nor will they say, 'Behold, here [it is]!' or 'There!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

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

And they will say to you, 'Behold, there!' 'Behold, here!' Do not go out or run after [them]!

For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from [one place] under heaven to [another place] under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.

But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.

And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man--

It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.

It will be {just the same} on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.

Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses [it] will keep it.

I tell you that in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.

There will be two [women] grinding at the same [place]; one will be taken and the other will be left."

Two men will be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left.

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

And will not God surely {see to it that justice is done} to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them?

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that one! For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it."

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, [by] doing what will I inherit eternal life?"

And [when he] heard [this], Jesus said to him, "{You still lack one thing}: Sell all that you have, and distribute [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.

who will not receive many times more in this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

And taking aside the twelve, he said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets with reference to the Son of Man will be accomplished.

For he will be handed over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and mistreated and spit on,

and [after] flogging [him] they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise."

Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

Wherefore, he ran before, and climbed up into a wild fig tree to see him. For he should come that same way.

And Zacchaeus stood forth and said unto the Lord, "Behold Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have done any man wrong, I will restore him four fold."

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

And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.

And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

They said to him, 'He has two hundred, sir!'??26 'I tell you, the man who has will have more given him, and from the man who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away!

'I tell you that to everyone who has, [more] will be given. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

saying, 'Go into the village in front of [you], in which [as you] enter you will find a colt tied, on which {no person has ever} sat, and untie it [and] bring [it].

And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying [it]?' you will say this: 'The Lord has need of it.'"

And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.

And they will raze you to the ground, [you] and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, {because} you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!"

And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
