And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;

And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'

hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time -- how do ye not make proof of it?

And he spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless?

'And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;

and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

and he said to them, 'Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am being perfected;

and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.

and another said, A wife I married, and because of this I am not able to come.

saying -- This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying -- This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

And he spake unto them this simile, saying,

because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.

but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.'

and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.

'And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

and the Lord said, 'If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'

And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:

the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.'

And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.

and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,

And Jesus said unto him -- 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.

and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.

saying -- 'If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.

and spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'

And he began to speak unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,

and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.

And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son -- the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;

and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;

and he, having looked upon them, said, 'What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected -- this became head of a corner?

And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.

And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,

and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;

for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'

'And woe to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and wrath on this people;

verily I say to you -- This generation may not pass away till all may have come to pass;

and he said unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, 'Take this and divide to yourselves,

And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, 'This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye -- to remembrance of me.'

In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.

And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'

saying, 'Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup pass from me -- ;but, not my will, but Thine be done.' --

while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, 'And this one was with him!'

And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, 'Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;'

and began to accuse him, saying, 'This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'

And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;'

and they were the more urgent, saying -- 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea -- having begun from Galilee -- unto this place.'

said unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

and they cried out -- the whole multitude -- saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'

And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, 'This is the King of the Jews.'

and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'

And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'

and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel,

and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.

And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

this one was in the beginning with God;

this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, 'Who art thou?'

John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,

this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:

and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.

and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'

this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, 'We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,)

This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'

The Jews, therefore, said, 'Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'

when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'

'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

and they came unto John, and said to him, 'Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'

he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.

'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;

Jesus answered and said to her, 'Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

The woman saith unto him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'

for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'

our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'

Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'

Come, see a man, who told me all things -- as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

and said to the woman -- 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'
