And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, 'Who do the multitudes say me to be?'

and he said to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, 'The Christ of God.'

saying -- 'It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.'

'For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers';

And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:

And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

'Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall be great.'

And he said unto another, 'Be following me;' and he said, 'Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;'

And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.'

And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, 'Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

'And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

and he said, 'He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, 'Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'

And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, 'Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'

but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

And he said to them, 'When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

our appointed bread be giving us daily;

and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'

and certain of them said, 'By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;'

and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.

But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons -- your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;

but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.

And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, 'This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,

for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

'The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

take heed, then, lest the light that is in thee be darkness;

if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'

'But woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

and he said, 'And to you, the lawyers, woe! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;

because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

'And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;

and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,

and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.

'And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,

and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

And ye -- seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,

but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.

'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,

'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;

'And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;

'And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes,

and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!

for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided -- three against two, and two against three;

a father shall be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.'

and when -- a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;

for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison;

And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, 'Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.

'Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

'There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;

and lo, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.'

On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, 'Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill thee;'

'When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,

'But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee;

because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

And he said also to him who did call him, 'When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to thee;

but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,

and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.'

and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all things ready.

'And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled;

'If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;

and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

'Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him?

'So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.

The salt is good, but if the salt doth become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned?

'I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;

and no more am I worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hirelings.

and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called thy son.

and having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we may be merry,

because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,

but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.'

and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.

I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

'No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'

and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried;

And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'
