For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

There are not found returning to give glory to God, save this stranger.

But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

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

And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

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

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.

And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

And he said, Of a truth I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.

But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

For I say to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.

When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king.

Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him;

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:

And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

But we trusted that it had been he who would have redeemed Israel: and besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.

John testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me; for he was before me.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?

This is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man who is preferred before me; for he was before me.

And I saw and bore testimony, that this is the Son of God.

This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

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

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

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again:

The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

Come, see a man who hath told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus performed, when he had come from Judea into Galilee.

After this there was a feast of the Jews: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

(And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.)

Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Then said they to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And this is the Father's will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Doth this offend you?

Go ye up to this feast: I go not yet to this feast, for my time is not yet full come.

And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

But we know this man, whence he is: whereas when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

(But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet.

Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will Christ come out of Galilee?

The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
