the Publicans likewise came to be baptized, and said to him, master, how are we to act?

master, said Simon, we have toil'd all the night, without any prize: however, since you give the word, I will throw the net.

The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

in answer to his doubts, Jesus said, Simon, I have something to say to you. master, said he, lets hear it.

then they came to wake him, crying, master, master, we are sinking. then he rose up, and rebuked the wind, and the waves: and both subside to a calm.

upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?"

While he was speaking, somebody came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said to him, your daughter is dead; 'tis in vain to importune the master any farther.

who were just departing from him, when Peter said to Jesus, master, it is best for us to stay here: let us build three apartments, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing well what he said.

when one of the company cry'd out, master, I beseech you, cast your eyes upon my son, for he is my only child:

Then said John to Jesus, master, we saw one casting out demons in your name, and we oppos'd it, because he does not follow you with us.

Then a doctor of the law stood up to try him, saying, master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

upon his departure the next day, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the master of the house, take care of him, said he, and I will repay you all the charges you are at, upon my return.

Then a doctor of the law objected to him, saying, master, your discourse is an insult upon us also.

imitate those servants who stand waiting for their master's return from the wedding, to let him in as soon as he comes to the door.

happy those servants, whom the master at his arrival shall find thus watching: I assure you, he shall gird himself, and make them sit at table, and will come to serve them.

if the master of a house knew at what hour the thief would come, no doubt he would be on his guard, and not suffer him to break into his house.

Jesus answered, if there be a faithful prudent steward, appointed by his master to give his domesticks their stated allowance; happy is such a servant,

whom his master at his return shall find so employ'd.

but if the servant should say within himself, my master delays his return; and fall a beating his fellow-servants, indulging himself in eating and drinking to excess.

his master will return on a day he does not expect him, and a an hour he is ignorant of; he will separate him from the rest, and give him a treatment answerable to his infidelity.

but the servant, who knows his master's will, and prepares not himself, nor executes his orders, shall receive many stripes.

when once the master of the family is enter'd in, and has fastned the door, you will stand without beating at the door, and cry, Lord, Lord, let us in: but he will answer, you are strangers to me.

so the servant return'd, and related the whole matter to his master, who in resentment said to his servant, go immediately into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring hither the poor, the maimed, the halt, and the blind.

the master reply'd, go then to the high-ways and by-paths, and compel them to come in, that my house may be full.

upon which the steward said in himself, what shall I do, now my master strips me of my employment? dig I cannot: and 'tis shameful to beg: I see it now,

so he sent for every one of his master's debtors in private, he ask'd the first, how much do you owe my master?

and this unfaithful steward was commended by his master for being so provident. for they who look to this world, manage their affairs with more prudence, than those who have a prospect of a better.

Jesus our master, take pity on us.

Then a person of distinction ask'd him this question, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

his master replied, you shall be governor of five cities.

for I was in fear of you, knowing you to be a hard master, who exact what you never gave, and reap where you have never sown.

wicked slave, said he, from your own mouth will I convict thee. "you knew I was a hard master, exacting what I never gave, and reaping where I never sowed:

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

upon which the master of the vineyard said, what shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps his presence will engage their respect.

so they kill'd him, and threw him out of the vineyard. what punishment now will the master inflict upon them?

they address'd him therefore in this manner; master, we know that what you say and teach is all right. you are not influenc'd by the quality of men, but explain the divine law with sincerity:

master, said they, Moses left it in writing, if any man has a brother, who dies in marriage without leaving children, he is obliged to take the widow, to perpetuate his brother's line.

which some of the Scribes approving, said to him, master, what you maintain is very just:

thereupon they said to him, master, when shall this happen? and by what sign shall we know that the event is coming?

and say to the man of the house, our master sent to ask for a room, where he may eat the passover with his disciples.
