And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.

And about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others doing nothing; and he says to them, Why are you here all the day doing nothing?

But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?

They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.

Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?

But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.

Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?

They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.

For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.

The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put under your feet all those who are against you?

And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,

But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.

Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.

So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!

And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.

But all these things are the first of the troubles.

And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?

But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

Pilate said to them, You have watchmen; go and make it as safe as you are able.

And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.

And Jesus, having knowledge in his spirit of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

And the Pharisees said to him, Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.

And a great number were seated round him; and they said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.

And he said in answer, Who are my mother and my brothers?

And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?

And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,

And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.

But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.

And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.

And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.

And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.

But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.
