and was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment became white as the light.

Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And as he was speaking, lo a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.

Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.

Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.

But this kind is not to be cast out but by prayer and fasting.

And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him and said, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of other people?

At that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus calling to Him a little child, set it in the midst of them,

but whosoever shall lay a stumbling-block in the way of one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hung on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.

Wo will be to the world from such offenses; for it is of necessity that offenses come: but wo to that man by whom the offense cometh.

If then thy hand or thy foot cause thee to offend, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire:

and if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with but one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

What think ye? if any man had an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, would he not leave the ninety and nine, and go upon the hills, and seek that which is gone astray?

And if he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more on account of that, than of the ninety nine which went not astray.

Even so it is not the will of your heavenly Father, that any one of these little ones should be lost.

And if he disregard them, tell it to the church: but if he disregard the church too, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.

And I tell you moreover, that if but two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing which they would ask for, it shall be granted them by my Father who is in heaven:

and not having it to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had; and payment to be made.

But that same servant, as he was going out, met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him but an hundred pence; and he laid hold on him and seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest me:

and his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and intreated him, saying, Bear with me a while, and I will pay thee all.

Now when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very much grieved, and came and acquainted their lord with all that had passed.

Then his lord called for him again, and said to him, Thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that vast debt at thy request,

And the pharisees came to Him to ensnare Him, and asked Him, whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He, who made them at first, made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. And therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

He answered them, Moses because of your hardheartedness, permitted you to put away your wives; but it was not so from the beginning:

His disciples say unto Him, if the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not adviseable to marry:

for there are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.

And behold, there came one to Him, and said, Good master, what good shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

The young man saith unto Him, All these have I kept from my youth: wherein am I yet deficient?

Jesus replied, If thou wouldst be perfect, go, sell thy estate, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.

and again I tell 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.

Then Peter replied and said unto Him, Behold we have quitted all and have followed thee; what then shall we have?

For the gospel-kingdom is like the master of a family, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard:

and going out about the third hour he saw others standing in the market-place doing nothing,

and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and what is reasonable I will give you: so they went.

And going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did in like manner.

And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing without work, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day doing nothing?

And after they had received it they murmured against the master of the house,

Take what is thine, and be gone: it is my pleasure to give to this last as I do to thee;

and may I not do what I will with my own?

And He said unto her, What dost thou desire? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdom.

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup which I am going to drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

They replied, We are able. And He saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at the two brethren:

but Jesus called them to Him and said, Ye know that the princes of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority upon them:

it shall not be so among you; but whosoever would be great among you, let him be your minister, and whoever would be chief among you,

and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

And the people rebuked them, that they might hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

And Jesus stopt and called them, and said, What do ye desire me to do for you?

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage at the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion,

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that were selling and buying in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:

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

but when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were vexed to the heart, and said to Him, Dost thou hear what these say?

And Jesus saith unto them, Yes, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast procured praise?

And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.

and seeing a fig-tree by the way, He went up to it, and finding nothing upon it but leaves, He saith to it, Let no fruit ever hereafter grow out of thee: and the fig-tree withered immediately.

And the disciples seeing it were amazed and said, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered!

but Jesus answering said unto them, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only be able to do this to a fig-tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," it shall 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, and said, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority?

but Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things.

The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves saying, If we say, from heaven, He will reply, Why then did ye not believe him?

And therefore in answer to Jesus, they said, We do not know: and He said unto them, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.

But what think ye of this? There was a man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go, work to day in my vineyard:

Hear another parable, There was a certain man, a master of a family, that planted a vineyard, and made a fence about it, and put a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and travelled abroad.

And when the fruit-season drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it:

At last he sent unto them his Son, saying, They will reverence my Son.

so they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and slew him.

When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?

They answer, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

Then saith Jesus to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the builders refused, is made the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"

And he that stumbleth at this stone shall be bruised, but on whomsoever it falls, it will crush him to pieces.

And when the king heard of it, he was highly provoked, and sent his troops, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.

Then saith he to his servants, The feast is ready, but they that were invited were not worthy of it:

And those servants went out into the high-ways, and brought in all they met with, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.

But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man that had not put on a wedding-garment, and saith to him,

Then said the king to his attendants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him up, and throw him out into the darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth:

And they send to Him their disciples along with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art a man of truth, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men: Tell us therefore what thou thinkest,

Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what is spoken to you by God,

And when the people heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

And the second is like it,

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

and love the uppermost places at feasts,

Wo unto you, ye blind guides, who say, If any one swear by the temple, it is nothing;

And, If any one swear by the altar, it is nothing; but if any one swear by the gift upon it, he is bound.

He then, that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it and by all things upon it:

and he, that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by Him that dwelleth in it:

and he, that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth upon it.

Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!

And as Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, his disciples came to observe to Him the magnificent buildings.

And when He was got to the mount of olives, the disciples came to Him in private and said, Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but be not troubled; for all these must indeed come to pass, but the end is not yet.

When therefore ye shall see the desolating abomination, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing at the holy place, (let him, that readeth, attend) then let those in Judea flee to the mountains:

let not him that is at the top of the house come down into it,
