And [after] the days were completed, while they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. And his parents did not know [it],

and [when they] did not find [him], they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

And he said to them, "{Why} were you searching for me? Did you not know that it was necessary [for] me to be in the [house] of my Father?"

And they did not understand the statement that he spoke to them.

And demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Son of God!" And he rebuked [them] [and] did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

And [when they] did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof [and] let him down through the roof tiles with the stretcher into the midst [of them], in front of Jesus.

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Have you not read this, what David did when he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

And [after] looking around at them all, he said to him, "Stretch out your hand," and he did, and his hand was restored.

For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed.

And [when] the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and luxury are in the royal palaces.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, who say, 'We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not weep.'

And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You did not give me water for [my] feet, but she wet my feet with [her] tears and wiped [them] with her hair.

And [as] he got out on the land, a certain man from the town met [him] who had demons and for a considerable time had not worn clothes and did not live in a house, but among the tombs.

And [when] the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately.

Now [when he] came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.

And they did so, and had [them] all sit down.

But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they could not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

And they did not welcome him because {he was determined to go} to Jerusalem.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see [the things] which you see, and did not see [them], and to hear [the things] which you hear, and did not hear [them]."

And the Pharisee, [when he] saw [it], was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal.

Fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

Woe to you, legal experts, because you have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering!"

And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will {will be given a severe beating}.

And he told this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find [any].

So he said to the gardener, 'Behold, {for three years} I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find [any]. Cut it down! Why should it even exhaust the soil?'

But he became angry and did not want to go in. So his father came out [and] began to implore him.

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

saying, "There was a certain judge in a certain town who did not fear God and did not respect people.

But the tax collector, standing far away, did not want even to raise his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'

And they understood none of these [things], and this saying was concealed from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man--you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!'

He said to him, '{By your own words} I will judge you, wicked slave! You knew that I am a severe man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, [when I] returned, would have collected it with interest?'

And they replied [that they] did not know where [it was] from.

And he said to them, "When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler's bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, [did you]?" And they said, "Nothing."

But neither [did] Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death {has been done} by him.

For behold, days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that did not give birth, and [the] breasts that did not nurse!'

but [when they] went in, they did not find the body.

and [when they] did not find his body, they came back saying [they] had seen even a vision of angels, who said [that] he was alive!

And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found [it] like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see."
