But he replying, said unto them, Have ye not read, that he who created them from the beginning, created them male and female?

And he said, for this reason shall a man forsake father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

He saith unto them, It was on account of the hardness of your hearts that Moses gave you permission to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not thus.

And I tell you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for whoredom, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth the divorced woman, committeth adultery.

Then he said to them, All men are not capable of receiving this saying, but they to whom it is given.

For there are eunuchs, who were so from their mothers' womb; and there are eunuchs, who have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that is capable of receiving, let him receive it.

Then were brought to him little children, that he should lay his hands upon them, and pray [for them]: but the disciples rebuked them.

And when he had laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

Then he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, even God: but if thou art desirous of entering into life, keep the commandments.

He saith unto him, Which? Then said Jesus, these, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Now when the young man heard this speech, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

And when he had agreed with the labourers at a denarius a day, he sent them into the vineyard.

And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place unemployed.

And he said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is equitable, I will give it you. So they went.

Again going out, about the sixth and ninth hour, he did after the same manner.

But about the eleventh hour, going out, he found others standing unemployed, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is equitable, ye shall receive.

But he answering, said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no injustice; did I not agree with thee for a denarius?

and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall rise again.

Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom.

And he saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and with the baptism with which I am baptised, shall ye be baptised; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, it is not in my power to bestow, but on those, for whom it was prepared by my Father.

And if any man say aught to you, ye shall tell them, That the Lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.

and the multitudes who went before, and who followed after, cried, saying, Hosanna, to the son of David; blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

And when he was entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this?

Then the blind and the lame came unto him, into the temple, and he cured them.

But when the chief priests and scribes saw the marvellous acts which he did, and the children crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were filled with indignation;

And turning his back upon them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry:

and seeing a fig-tree at the road side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only: and saith unto it, Let no fruit spring from thee henceforth for ever: and immediately the fig-tree withered entirely away.

And when his disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered away!

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, as he was teaching, demanding, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?

The baptism of John whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Hereupon they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?

So they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. Then said he also to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.

But he answering said, I will not: yet repenting afterwards, he went.

And coming to the other, he spake after the same manner, and he replying, said, I go, sir; yet went not.

But when the season for fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they treated them in the same manner.

Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

When therefore the master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these husbandmen?

They say unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking concerning them.

Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast.

Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.

Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy:

and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.

And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription?

They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar's; and to God, the things which are God's.

But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees' mouths, they assembled together:

saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David's.

He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying,

If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained, ye make him doubly more the child of hell than yourselves.

So he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who is seated upon it.

Ye serpents, ye broods of vipers! how can ye escape from the damnation of hell?

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest those who were sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children to me, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not?

For I tell you, Ye shall henceforth no more see me, until ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age?

But he that endureth to the end, that man will be saved.

And he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment.

Therefore if they say to you, He is in the wilderness; go not out: lo! he is in the secret closets; believe it not.

And he shall send forth his angels with a trumpet, and a great shout, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities of the same.

And this observe, that if the master of the family had known in which watch of the night the thief would have come, he would have watched, and not have suffered him to break into his house.

Blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he cometh shall find thus occupied.

Verily I say unto you, that he will place him over all his substance.

But if that wicked servant say in his heart, My master will be a long while ere he comes;

the master of that servant will come in a day that he doth not expect him, and at an hour which he knoweth not.

But he answering said, Verily, I know you not.

And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several capacity; and immediately went abroad.

He then who had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and acquired five other talents.

In the same manner also he that had the two, gained also himself two others.

But he that had received the one talent, went and digged a hole in the ground, and hid the silver of his master.

And he who had received the five talents, coming to him, brought five other talents, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents: I have gained to them five other talents.

Then came also he that had received the two talents: and said, Sir, thou deliveredst to me two talents: lo! I have gained to them two other talents.

Then came also he that had received the one talent, and said, Sir, knowing thee, that thou art a severe man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering from whence thou hast not scattered:

For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

and before him shall all the nations be gathered together; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats:

and he shall place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.

Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Then shall he reply to them, saying, For as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these, neither have ye done it to me.

AND it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

Then were the chief priests and scribes, and the elders of the people gathered together in the palace of the high-priest, called Caiaphas.

And they consulted together, how they might seize Jesus by guile, and put him to death.

there came to him a woman having an alabaster-box of very precious aromatic ointment, and poured it upon his head as he sat at table.

And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them.

And he said, Go into the city, unto such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover with my disciples at thy house.

And when the evening was come, he sat down at table with the twelve.

And as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

But he answering said, He that dippeth his hand with me into the dish, that man shall betray me.

The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being.

Then Judas, who betrayed him, addressing him said, Master, is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast named the person.

And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this:

And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with dejection.

Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch with me.

And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to watch with me one hour?

Again the second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, If it be not possible, that this cup pass from me, but that I should drink it, thy will be done.
