But a certain traveling Samaritan came upon him, and seeing him, he was filled with pity.

And coming near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And going on the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him. And whatever more you spend, when I come again I will repay you.

Then which of these three, do you think, was neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?

And he said, The one doing the deed of mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.

And as they went, it happened that He entered into a certain village. And a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house.

But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she came to Him and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.

And it happened as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught His disciples.

And He said to them, which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

for a friend of mine has come from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?

I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needs.

For everyone who asks receives. And he who seeks finds. And to him who knocks it shall be opened.

For what father of you, if the son asks for bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake for a fish?

Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?

And others, tempting Him, sought a sign from Heaven from him.

But when one stronger than he comes, he overcomes him. He takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and he distributes his arms.

And it happened as He spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice and said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which You have sucked.

But the crowds pressing on Him, He began to say, This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. And He went in and reclined.

And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but your inward part is full of plunder and wickedness.

And one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, Master, you reproach us also when you say this.

And as He said these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw Him out concerning many things,

lying in ambush for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, so that they might accuse Him.

But I will warn you of whom you shall fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear Him.

Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess Me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess him before the angels of God.

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

And one of the company said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

And He said to him, Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

And you yourselves be like men who wait for their lord, whenever he shall return from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable to us or also to all?

Blessed is that servant when his lord comes and finds him so doing.

Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions.

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and at an hour when he does not know. And he will cut him apart, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

But he not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

For as you go with your adversary to the judge, give pains in the way to be set free from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into the prison.

And some were present at the same time reporting to Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

And answering, he said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure.

And the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the sabbath loosen his ox or ass from the stall and lead it away, to give it drink?

And when He had said these things, all His adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

And one said to Him, Lord, are the ones being saved few? And He said to them,

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to Him, Go out and depart from here, for Herod will kill you.

And as He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, it happened that they watched Him.

And behold, a certain man was dropsical before Him.

And they were silent. And taking him, He healed him and let him go.

And He answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer Him again as to these things.

When you are invited by anyone to a wedding, do not recline in the chief seat, lest a more honorable man than you may be invited by him.

And he who invited you and him shall come and say to you, Give place to this man; and then you begin with shame to take the last place.

And He also said to him who invited Him, When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends or your brothers, or your kinsmen, or your rich neighbors; lest they also invite you again, and a recompense be made to you.

And one of those who reclined with Him heard these things, and he said to Him, Blessed are those eating bread in the kingdom of God.

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

And all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, I must go and see it. I beg you, have me excused.

And great crowds went with Him. And He turned and said to them,

lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all those seeing begin to mock him,

Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

It is not fit for the land, nor for manure, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

And all the tax-collectors and sinners drew near to Him in order to hear Him.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country. And he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, and no one gave to him.

I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you, and am no more worthy to be called your son.

But the father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him. And put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet.

And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him safe and sound.

And he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and entreated him.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fattened calf.

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

And He also said to His disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward. And he was accused to him, that he had wasted his goods.

And he called him and said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you may no longer be steward.

And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.

And he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill and write eighty.

And the unjust steward's lord commended him because he had done wisely. For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And being money-lovers, all the Pharisees also heard all these things. And they derided Him.

And he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.

And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

And He said to the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come. But woe to him through whom they come!

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him.

And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.

But which of you who has a servant plowing or feeding will say to him immediately after he has come from the field, Come, recline?

Will he not say to him, Prepare something so that I may eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink. And afterward you shall eat and drink.

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

And as He entered into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood afar off.

And he fell down on his face at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan.

And He said to him, Rise and go; your faith has cured you.

In that day he who shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise, he who is in the field, let him not return to the things behind.

And they answered and said to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

And a widow was in that city. And she came to Him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry day and night to Him, though He has been long-suffering over them?

And they also brought infants to Him, that He might touch them. But when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? None is good except One, God.

And when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, Yet you lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven. And come, follow Me.

And they will scourge Him and put Him to death, and the third day He will rise again.

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passed by.

And they who were in front rebuked him that he should be quiet. But he cried so much the more, Son of David! Have mercy on me.

And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,
