"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.'

Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'

But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and here I perish with hunger!

I will arise and go to my father and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

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

But he answered his father, 'Behold, these many years I have been serving you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.

And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.'

So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'"

And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

And he said, "All these I have kept from my youth."

Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept laid away in a handkerchief;

Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'

saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."

"Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's."

When the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come."

And he said to him, "Every man sets out the good wine first; and when the guests have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and testify to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

Then the woman of Samaria said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband';

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I am doing, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

And the Father who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

You search the Scriptures, because in them you think that you have eternal life; and these are they that testify of me.
