And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

And he spoke to them this parable, saying,

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make merry.

But as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf.

It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.

And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.

And the lord commended the unjust steward for having done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser toward their generation than the sons of light.

And the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all this, and they derided him.

And he called and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

And besides all this, between us and you there is placed a great gulf, so that those who wish to cross from hence to you may not be able, and that those on that side cannot cross over to us.

for I have five brothers; that he may give earnest warning to them, that they too may not come into this place of torment.

But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycaminetree, Be plucked up by the roots, and planted in the sea! and it would obey you.

Were there none found returning to give glory to God but this foreigner?

But first he must suffer much, and be rejected by this generation.

yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her; lest by coming for ever she weary me out.

And to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:

The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth himself will be exalted.

And Jesus hearing this said to him, One thing thou still lackest: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful; for he was very rich.

And those who heard this said, Who then can be saved?

And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.

And Jesus said to him, This day hath salvation come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

And he said also to this servant, And be thou over five cities.

saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, and that in this thy day, the things that concern thy peace! but now they are hidden from thine eyes.

and spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? Or who is he that gave thee this authority?

And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, God forbid!

But he, looking upon them, said, What then is this which is written, "The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone"?

And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour, but they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.

And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage;

And he said, In truth I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.

But woe to the women with child, and to those having children at the breast, in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people;

Truly do I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, till all shall have taken place.

And he said to them, Earnestly have I desired to eat this passover with you, before I suffer.

And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

And he took a loaf, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.

And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed for you.

And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that was about to do this.

And he said, I tell thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.

For I say to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: "And he was reckoned among transgressors." For that which concerneth me also hath an end.

saying, Father, if thou art willing to remove this cup from meyet not my will, but thine be done!

when I was daily with you in the temple, ye did not put forth your hands against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

But a certain maidservant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him.

And in about one hours time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean.

And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.

But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, the king.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing criminal in this man.

But they were the more violent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.

And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.

And on learning that he belonged to Herods jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.

said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him.

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas;

And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him.

And the people stood looking on; and the rulers sneered, saying, Others he saved; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the chosen one.

There was also an inscription over him: "This is the king of the Jews."

And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.

And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit! And having said this, he expired.

And the centurion, seeing what was done, gave glory to God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, lo! two men stood by them in glittering apparel;

And he said to them, What discourse is this which ye have one with another, as ye are walking? And they stood sad.

But we are hoping that it is he who is to redeem Israel; moreover, besides all this, it is the third day since these things were done.

John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?

This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.

And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.

This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and they abode there not many days.

Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Then said the Jews, Fortysix years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegrooms voice. This my joy then hath become full.

Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;

The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.

Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith to her, Believe me, woman, the hour is coming, when ye shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

And upon this his disciples came, and marveled that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?

Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?

and said to the woman, No longer do we believe on account of what thou hast told us; for we have ourselves heard him, and know that this is in truth the Saviour of the world.

This again, a second sign, Jesus wrought, when he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?

And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.

On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he was going to do.

The men therefore seeing the sign which he wrought, said, This is truly the prophet that was to come into the world.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he sent.

They said therefore to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who looketh on the Son and believeth in him, shall have everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day.

and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, one whose father and mother we know? How is it then that this man saith, I have come down from heaven?

This is the bread which is coming down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
