and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not.

And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him.

And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?

And Jesus said, Some one has touched me, for I have known that power has gone out from me.

And he said to her, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace.

And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps.

And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done by him, and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among the dead,

And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.

But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people;

for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.

And he said to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

And he said to them all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;

And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.

And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.

And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not, for he that is not against you is for you.

And his disciples James and John seeing it said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak that fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?

But turning he rebuked them and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are.

And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.

And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.

But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.

And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.

In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

And having turned to the disciples privately he said, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.

And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.

But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

And Jesus replying said, A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who also, having stripped him and inflicted wounds, went away leaving him in a half-dead state.

And on the morrow as he left, taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.

And he said, He that shewed him mercy. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.

But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;

And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy kingdom come;

And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,

But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;

And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward parts are full of plunder and wickedness.

And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,

And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things;

therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.

And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

But he said to him, Man, who established me as a judge or a divider over you?

And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for it is not because a man is in abundance that his life is in his possessions.

And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;

But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.

And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?

And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?

And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.

And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?

And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which people ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading it away, water it?

And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.

And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?

And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?

And one said to him, Sir, are such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,

And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected;

And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

And one of those that were lying at table with them, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

And he said, A certain man had two sons;

and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls to me. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.

And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have abundance of bread, and I perish here by famine.

And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in it, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.

But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:

But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.

And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused to him as wasting his goods.

And having called him, he said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
