And he said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves from all greediness, because not [even] when someone has an abundance {does} his life [consist] of his possessions."

But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your life is demanded from you, and [the things] which you have prepared--whose will they be?'

And you, [be] like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that [when he] comes back and knocks, they can open [the door] for him immediately.

But the one who did not know and did [things] deserving blows {will be given a light beating}. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him [for] even more.

For from now on there will be five in one household, divided three against two and two against three.

And [when he] saw her, Jesus summoned [her] and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your disability!"

But the Lord answered and said to him, "Hypocrites! Does not each one of you untie his ox or [his] donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead [it] away to water [it]?

And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound {eighteen} long years--is it not necessary that she be released from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?"

when once the master of the house has gotten up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock [on] the door, saying, 'Lord, open [the door] for us!' And he will answer [and] say to you, 'I do not know where you are from!'

And he will reply, saying to you, 'I do not know where you are from! Go away from me, all [you] {evildoers}!'

And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

At [that] same hour some Pharisees came up [and] said to him, "Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!"

And behold, a certain man was in front of him, suffering from edema.

"But [when he] came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have an abundance {of food}, and I am dying here from hunger!

And the manager said to himself, 'What should I do, because my master is taking away the management from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!'

"The law and the prophets [were] until John; from that time [on] the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is urgently pressed into it.

"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from [her] husband commits adultery.

and was longing to be filled with what fell from the table of the rich man. But even the dogs came [and] licked his sores.

And in Hades he lifted up his eyes [as he] was in torment [and] saw Abraham from a distance, and Lazarus {at his side}.

And in [addition to] all these [things], a great chasm has been established between us and you, so that those who want to cross over from here to you are not able [to do so], nor can they cross over from there to us.'

And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent!'

But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone rises from the dead.'"

"And which of you who has a slave plowing or shepherding [sheep] who comes in from the field will say to him, 'Come here at once [and] recline at the table'?

For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from [one place] under heaven to [another place] under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.

But on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed [them] all.

And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth."

And they understood none of these [things], and this saying was concealed from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

And Zacchaeus stopped [and] said to the Lord, "Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am paying [it] back four times [as much]!"

And to the bystanders he said, 'Take away from him the mina and give [it] to the one who has the ten minas!'

'I tell you that to everyone who has, [more] will be given. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

Now [as] he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen,

And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

saying, "If you had known on this day--even you--the things [that make] for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.

And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to [what] they were hearing from him.

The baptism of John--was [it] from heaven or from men?

And they discussed [this] with one another, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced [that] John was a prophet."

And they replied [that they] did not know where [it was] from.

but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and [to] the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

There will be great earthquakes and famines and plagues in [various] places. There will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven.

"And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity from the noise of the sea and [its] surging,

people fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming on the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

And he agreed, and began looking for a favorable opportunity to betray him to them apart from the crowd.

For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw and {knelt down} [and] began to pray,

saying, "Father, if you are willing, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done." [[

And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

And [when he] got up from the prayer [and] came to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow,

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

And they said, "Why do we have need [of] further testimony? For [we] ourselves have heard [it] from his mouth!"

But they insisted, saying, "He incites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea and beginning from Galilee as far as here."

And [when he] found out that he was from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.

And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain [man] of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, [and] placed the cross on him, to carry [it] behind Jesus.

And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these [things], stood at a distance.

(this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, {a Judean town}, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.

And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed [and] saw the tomb and how his body was placed.

And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,

and [when they] returned from the tomb, they reported all these [things] to the eleven and to all the rest.

And behold, on [that] same day, two of them were traveling to a village {named} Emmaus [that was] sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem,

but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.

But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,

And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.

and said to them, "Thus it is written [that] the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,

and repentance and the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

And behold, I am sending out what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.

All [things] came into being through him, and apart from him not one [thing] came into being that has come into being.

A man came, sent from God, {whose name was} John.

And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.

For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, "Who are you?"

(And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)

And John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him.

(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found [the one] whom Moses wrote [about] in the law, and the prophets wrote [about]--Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!"

Nathanael said to him, "From where do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, [when you] were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from--but the servants who had drawn the water knew--the head steward summoned the bridegroom

And to the ones selling the doves he said, "Take these [things] away from here! Do not make my Father's house {a marketplace}!"

So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.

This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that [you are] a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him."

Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God."

Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'It is necessary for you to be born from above.'

The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

And no one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven--the Son of Man.

John answered and said, "A man can receive not one [thing] unless it is granted to him from heaven!

The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, being a Jew, ask from me [water] to drink, [since I] am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

You are not greater than our father Jacob, [are you], who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?"

You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

They went out from the town and were coming to him.

Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything that I have done."

And after the two days he departed from there into Galilee.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

Now this [is] again a second sign Jesus performed [when he] came from Judea into Galilee.

So Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these [things] also the Son does likewise.
