And they reasoned among themselves, saying: It is because we took no bread.

And Jesus perceiving it, said to them: you of little faith! why are you reasoning among yourselves because you took no bread?

Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

How is it that you do not understand, that I did not speak of bread when I commanded you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.

For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life?

and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothing was white as the light.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo, a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight; hear him.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid.

But I say to you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him what they wished; so also shall the Son of man suffer at their hands.

And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him: and the child was cured from that hour.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said: Why were we not able to cast him out?

And Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed from this place to that, and it shall be removed: and nothing shall be impossible for you.

But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.

He said: Yes. And when he had come into the house, before he had spoken, Jesus said to him: What think you, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tax or tribute? From their own sons, or from the sons of others?

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, and said: Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

but whoever ensnares one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Alas for the world because of snares! for it is necessary that snares come: but alas for that man by whom the snare comes!

If, then, your hand or your foot ensnares you, cut it off, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire.

And if your eye ensnares you, pull it out, and throw it from you. It is better to enter into life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell-fire.

What think you? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them go astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, and go into the mountains, and seek for that which has gone astray?

And if it so be that he find it, verily I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

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

But if he refuse to hear them, tell it to the church; and if he also refuse to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen man and a publican.

Again, I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about any thing for which they will ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying: Pay me what you owe.

Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and be sought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

When his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sad, and went and made known to their lord all that was done.

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan.

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

He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,

So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder.

He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.

His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry.

But he said to them: All can not accept this saying; only those to whom it is given.

For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.

And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him:

The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack?

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

When the disciples heard it, they were greatly amazed, and said: Who, then, can be saved?

Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?

For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market, idle;

And they went. Again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did in like manner.

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle?

And when they received it, they murmured against the master of the house,

Take what is yours, and go; I will give to this last even as to you.

Is it not allowed me to do what I will with my own? Or, is your eye envious, because I am good?

He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.

And he said to them: You shall drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.

And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers.

It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.

And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude fol lowed him.

And behold, two blind men, sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.

And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you?

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,

and said to them: It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

and they said to him: Do you not hear what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and there spent the night.

and seeing a fig-tree on the road, he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves; and he said to it: Let no fruit grow on you henceforth forever. And the fig-tree immediately withered.

And when the disciples saw it, they were astonished, and said: How soon has the fig-tree withered!

Jesus answered and said to them: Verily I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall do, not only what is done to the fig-tree, but even if you shall say to this mountain, Be taken up, and be thrown into the sea, it shall be done.

And after he had come into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority do you these things? And who gave you this authority?

Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, which if you will tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

The immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

And they answered and said to Jesus: We know not. And he said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

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

He answered and said, I will not. But he afterward regretted it, and went.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And you, when you had seen it, after ward felt no regret, that you might believe him.

Hear another parable: There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and rigged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went into another country.

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive the fruits of it.

And they took him, and carried him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine dressers?

They said to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard to other vine dressers, who will give him the fruits in their season.

This was from the Lord, and it is wondrous in our eyes. For this reason, I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation that will bring forth the fruits of it.

And he that falls upon this stone shall be dashed to pieces; but him on whom it shall fall, it will make like chaff for the wind.

And when that king heard of it, he was angry, and sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

And those servants went out into the roads, and brought together all, as many as they found, both bad and good: and the banquet-room was filled with guests.

Tell us, therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

And when they heard it, they were astonished, and left him, and went away.

And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

saying: What think you of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him: The son of David.

The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

They also love the most honorable places at suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues,

But alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you eat up the houses of widows, and for a pretext make long prayers. For this reason, you shall receive the greater condemnation.

Alas for you, blind guides! who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, becomes a debtor.

And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gift that is on it, becomes a debtor.

Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all that is on it.

And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells in it.

And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits upon it.

Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel.

And Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet.

let not him that is on the house-top come down to take his goods out of his house;
