Which now of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into the hands of the robbers?

and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give it thee?

And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

If therefore thy whole body is light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.

But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.

The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.

and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not the means to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;

And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:

And having called him, he said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.

And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,

And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.

The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.

What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.

And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.

For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,

and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.

and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?

and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

but I have besought for thee that thy faith fail not; and thou, when once thou hast been restored, confirm thy brethren.

And he said to him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death.

And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to-day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

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

Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.

Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.

Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness.

And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him.

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am he.

The Jews therefore said to the healed man, It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

They asked him therefore, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?

And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?

And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

The disciples say to him, Rabbi, even but now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?

but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.

Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;

Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me.

Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.

These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;

and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;

for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received them, and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.

And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

that they may be all one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Righteous Father, and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has the greater sin.

Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee?

But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.

While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was it not in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

and said to him, Go out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and come into the land which I will shew thee.

But he that was wronging his neighbour thrust him away, saying, Who established thee ruler and judge over us?

I have surely seen the ill treatment of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan, and have come down to take them out of it; and now, come, I will send thee to Egypt.

This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did God send to be a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money.

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee;
