Wo to the world because of offences! for there is a necessity that offences come: nevertheless, wo to that man by whom the offence cometh!

If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal.

See that ye despise not one of these little ones, for I say unto you, That their angels in heaven continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones perish.

But if he disregard them, inform the church: and if he disregard the church, let him be to thee as a heathen, or a publican.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you are concurring upon earth, respecting any matter, which ye shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven like unto a certain king who purposed to settle his account with his servants.

and oughtest thou not to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?

And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

His disciples said unto him, If the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not expedient to marry.

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 said Jesus, Permit little children, and hinder them not from coming to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

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.

Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

And again I repeat it to you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And Jesus looking upon them, said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the master of a family, who went out at break of day, to hire labourers into his vineyard.

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

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.

saying, These last have wrought only a single hour, and thou hast put them on an equality with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

Take then thine own, and begone: I chuse to give to this last even as to thee.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

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.

Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And as they were going out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

And, behold, two blind men sat by the road side, who hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, son of David!

And the multitude checked them, that they should be silent; but they cried out the more, Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.

saying to them, Go into the village, which is opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a foal with her; loose and bring them to me.

"Tell the daughter of Sion, Lo! thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting on an ass, even on a foal the ass's colt."

Then the disciples going, and doing as Jesus had commanded them,

brought the ass and her foal, and they spread over them their garments, and seated him upon 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 multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

and said unto them, It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer," but ye have made it a den of robbers.

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

But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done.

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?

But if we say, From men, we are afraid of the populace, for they all hold John as a prophet.

But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance.

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes."

And they sought to apprehend him; but were afraid of the people, for they held him as a prophet.

The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:

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

go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet.

So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.

Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

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

On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,

Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother;

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like to it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

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

"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet."

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

But be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Messiah; and ye all are brethren.

And call no man your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.

And be not called leaders; for one is your leader, the Messiah.

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.

Wo unto you ye blind guides! who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, it is binding.

Ye fools and blind! for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple which consecrates the gold?

And again, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, it is binding.

Ye fools and blind! which is the greater, the gift, or the altar which consecrates the gift?

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

Therefore, behold, I am sending to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill, and crucify; and some of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:

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?

Behold, your habitation is left unto you desolate.

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?

And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not terrified: for these things must first be, but the end is not yet.

then let such as are in Judea flee into the mountains.

Let not him who is upon the roof go down to take any thing out of his house.

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

For then the tribulation will be great, such as never was from the beginning of the world, and never more shall be.

Then if any man say unto you, Lo! here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not:

for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.

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

For as the lightning cometh out from the east, and flashes to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Learn then a parable from the fig-tree; when its branch is now tender, and the leaves shoot forth, ye know that summer is nigh:

just so ye, when ye behold these things, know that it is near, even at the gates.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

But as the days of Noah were, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.

For as they were in the days preceding the deluge, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

Who then is the faithful and provident servant, whom his Lord hath appointed over his household, to give them meat in the proper time?

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

But as the bridegroom stayed long, they all slumbered and slept.

Then at midnight the cry came, Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go forth to meet him.

And the foolish said to the provident, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

But the provident replied, saying, No; lest there be not a sufficiency for us and you: but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
