even so, Father, for it was thy good pleasure that so it should be."

All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal Him.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant whom I have chosen,

which the pharisees hearing, said, "He only casts out demons by the help of Beelzebub the prince of the devils."

And if I cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whom do your own people cast them out? wherefore they shall be your judges:

but if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then certainly the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Wherefore, I tell you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the holy Spirit shall not be forgiven them:

and if any one speak against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him: but if any one speak against the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this life, nor in that to come.

Either allow the tree to be good, and it's fruit good; or shew the tree to be corrupt, and it's fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by it's fruit.

but I tell you, that of every idle word, which men shall speak, they shall give an account in the day of judgement; for by thy words thou shalt be justified,

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Then some of the scribes and pharisees answered Him, saying, Master, we should be glad to see a sign from thee:

but He replied and said unto them, This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:

for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and so the last state of that man is worse than the first. And thus shall it be to this wicked generation.

Now on the same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea-side:

and as he was sowing, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate them up:

for whosoever really hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundantly; but whosoever thus hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away from him:

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,

and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will publish things which have been concealed from the foundation of the world.

As therefore the tares are gathered together, and burnt in the fire; so shall it be in the end of the world:

and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous;

and shall cast them into the fiery furnace, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

and said to his servants, This is John the baptist, he is certainly risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous things are done by him:

and she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of John the baptist:

at which the king was distressed, but because of his oath, and of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given her;

Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and buy themselves victuals.

And in the evening He was there alone. Now the ship was by this time in the midst of the sea, and violently tossed by the waves; for the wind was contrary:

and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.

Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.

For God commanded saying, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:

but ye say, If any man say to his father or mother, "that which thou mightest be profited by from me is a gift to the temple,"

and so honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. And thus have ye made void the commandment of God by your tradition.

But He answered and said, Every plantation which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.

And there came out of those quarters a Canaanitish woman, and cried to Him saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; for my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon.

Then Jesus answering, said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it therefore unto thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that very hour.

But He answered them, In the evening ye say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red:

and in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day, for the sky is red and lowring. Ye hypocrites, can ye distinguish the appearance of the sky, and not discern the signs of these times?

This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah. And so He left them and went away.

And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

And from that time began Jesus to acquaint his disciples, that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death, and be raised again on the third day.

Then Peter took Him and began to expostulate with Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: may this never be unto thee.

But He turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence to me; for thou regardest not the things of God, but those that be of men.

And I tell you of a truth, there be some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up and be not afraid.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.

But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.

Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you?

And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.

But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.

And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:

and they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly grieved.

And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers of the tribute-money came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes, saith he.

At that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

and said, Verily I declare unto you, unless ye be converted, and become like little children, ye shall never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven:

Wo will be to the world from such offenses; for it is of necessity that offenses come: but wo to that man by whom the offense cometh.

If then thy hand or thy foot cause thee to offend, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire:

and if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with but one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

Even so it is not the will of your heavenly Father, that any one of these little ones should be lost.

but if he regard thee not, take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

And if he disregard them, tell it to the church: but if he disregard the church too, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.

Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

And I tell you moreover, that if but two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing which they would ask for, it shall be granted them by my Father who is in heaven:

and not having it to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had; and payment to be made.

The servant therefore fell prostrate before him, saying, Lord, bear with me a while, and I will pay thee all:

But that same servant, as he was going out, met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him but an hundred pence; and he laid hold on him and seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest me:

and his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and intreated him, saying, Bear with me a while, and I will pay thee all.

And he would not: but went away and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.

And his lord being highly provoked delivered him to the officers, till he should pay all that was owing to him.

and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh:

They say unto Him, Why then did Moses order a bill of divorce to be given, and so to put her away?

His disciples say unto Him, if the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not adviseable to marry:

for there are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.

Jesus replied, If thou wouldst be perfect, go, sell thy estate, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.

His disciples, when they heard this, were exceedingly struck, and said, Who then can be saved?

But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.

Now when evening was come, the owner of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the work-men and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.

Take what is thine, and be gone: it is my pleasure to give to this last as I do to thee;

Is thine eye evil because I am good? Thus the last shall be first, and the first last; for there are many called, but few chosen.

and the son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death,

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup which I am going to drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

They replied, We are able. And He saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

it shall not be so among you; but whosoever would be great among you, let him be your minister, and whoever would be chief among you,

let him be your servant:

as the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many.

and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

They answered Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion,

and the multitudes, that went before and that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

and said to them, It is written, "My house shall be called the house of prayer," but ye have made it a den of thieves.

and seeing a fig-tree by the way, He went up to it, and finding nothing upon it but leaves, He saith to it, Let no fruit ever hereafter grow out of thee: and the fig-tree withered immediately.

but Jesus answering said unto them, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only be able to do this to a fig-tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," it shall be done.

And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority?

but Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things.

And therefore in answer to Jesus, they said, We do not know: and He said unto them, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
