But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.

And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.

But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.

And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.

So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?

Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.

The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water?

And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him.

And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them,

At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death.

Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.

And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

Now a great number of people went with him.

For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,

Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

It is no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.

Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.

And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.

And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.

I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:

And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.

And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.

But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:

And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.

And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.

But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.

But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.

And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.

And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.

Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.

And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;

For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.

Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.

But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.

And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.

And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.

And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them

And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.

And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.

And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.

And they said, The Lord has need of him.

And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.

And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.

And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;

But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.

That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

And at the right time he sent a servant to the workers to get part of the fruit from the vines; but the workmen gave him blows and sent him away with nothing.

And he sent another servant, and they gave blows to him in the same way, and put shame on him, and sent him away with nothing.

And he sent a third, and they gave him wounds and put him out.

And the lord of the garden said, What am I to do? I will send my dearly loved son; they may give respect to him.

But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

And driving him out of the garden they put him to death. Now what will the lord do to these workmen?

And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.

And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.
