And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.

but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;

But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.

Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.

and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;

And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for it is not because a man is in abundance that his life is in his possessions.

And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not a place where I shall lay up my fruits.

But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.

Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?

Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

And ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;

for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;

Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.

Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.

But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.

And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think it, the Son of man comes.

the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.

But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared himself nor done his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

but he who knew it not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom men have committed much, they will ask from him the more.

Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how is it then that ye do not discern this time?

And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.

No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.

And he spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit upon it and did not find any.

and if it shall bear fruit but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which people ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading it away, water it?

And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.

From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the day following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

And they were not able to answer him to these things.

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not the means to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what is needed to complete it;

in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?

Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, more than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.

Or, what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully till she find it?

And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.

But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.

And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?

and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?

for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among the dead will they be persuaded.

But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?

Is he thankful to the bondman because he has done what was ordered? I judge not.

And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but the nine, where are they?

There have not been found to return and give glory to God save this stranger.

And having been asked by the Pharisees, When is the kingdom of God coming? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

And he said to the disciples, Days are coming, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

And they will say to you, Lo here, or Lo there; go not, nor follow them.

In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

I say to you, In that night there shall be two men upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,

saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:

And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,

at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.

And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?

The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

But Jesus calling them to him said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.

who shall not receive manifold more at this time, and in the coming age life eternal.

And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.

But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this man should reign over us.

For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

And why didst thou not give my money to the bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

Moreover those mine enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
