and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'

and Jesus said to him, 'The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'

and Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

'He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

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 lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, 'Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

And he said unto him, 'In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'

And he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

and Jesus having taken up the word, said, 'A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving him half dead.

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

'But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

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.

'Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'

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.'

And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, 'Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.'

And he said unto them, 'Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,

'I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

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.

And of which of you -- the father -- if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?

and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?

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 others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.

but when the stronger than he, having come upon him, may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;

And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, 'Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!'

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,

And in his speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

And the Lord said unto him, 'Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;

And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, 'Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;'

And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him.

And I say to you, Every one -- whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him 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 a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'

And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'

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 ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.

And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'

truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.

the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for him, and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.

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.

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 there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices;

'And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;

Then the Lord answered him and said, 'Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water it?

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.

and a certain one said to him, 'Sir, are those saved few?' and he said unto them,

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;'

And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

and lo, there was a certain dropsical man before him;

and they were silent, and having taken hold of him, he healed him, and let him go;

and they were not able to answer him again unto these things.

'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,

and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.

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;

And one of those reclining with him, having heard these things, said to him, 'Happy is he who shall eat bread in the reign of God;'

and he said to him, 'A certain man made a great supper, and called many,

'And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves: The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused.

And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them,

lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,

'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?

neither for land nor for manure is it fit -- they cast it without. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.'

And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him,

and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine,

and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him.

having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee,

'And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed him;

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 the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;

and he said to him -- Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.

'And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him;

but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.

'And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all my things are thine;

And he said also unto his disciples, 'A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;

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.

and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.

'Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.

And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

'And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,

'Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;

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.'

And he said unto the disciples, 'It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come;

it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

'Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

but will not rather say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;
