And it came to pass, as they were walking on the road, a certain person said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And Jesus Said to him, The foxes have holts, and the birds of the air, nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to return home, and put my father in his grave.

And Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou, preach the kingdom of God.

Then said another, I will follow thee, Lord, but give me leave first to bid adieu to those at my house.

But Jesus said unto him, No man laying his hand on the plough, and looking to the things left behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.

He said therefore unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers few: pray ye therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send out labourers into his harvest.

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan falling as lightning from heaven.

In the same hour Jesus exulted in spirit, and said, I ascribe glory to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: be it so, O Father! since such is thy good pleasure.

Then turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things which ye see:

And he said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou?

And he answering said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself."

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and thou shalt live.

Then he, desirous to make himself appear a righteous person, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

Then Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who, when they had both stripped him, and covered him with wounds, got off, leaving him half dead.

And on the morrow, as he was departing, he took out of his purse two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take great care of him; and whatever farther expence may be incurred, when I return, I will repay thee.

And he said, He that shewed mercy towards him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou exactly the same.

But Martha was hurrying about to provide a large entertainment, and coming up to him, she said, Lord, is it no concern to thee, that my sister hath left me to make the whole provision by myself? bid her therefore to assist me.

But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disturbing thyself about many things.

AND it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, when he had done, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

And he said unto them, When ye pray say, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done as in heaven so upon earth.

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

And it came to pass as he was speaking these words, a certain woman from among the multitude lift up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it.

Then said the Lord unto him, Now ye Pharisees make the outside of the cup and of the dish clean, but your inward parts are full of extortion and wickedness.

Then one of the doctors of the law addressing him, said, Master, thus speaking, thou reproachest us also.

And he said, Wo also to you, teachers of the law! for ye load men with burdens hardly bearable, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Therefore also the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill, and shall persecute:

But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge and a divider among you?

Then said he to them, Beware, and be on your guard against covetousness; for a man's life doth not depend on the abundance of his possessions.

And he said, I will do this; I will take down my barns, and build them larger, and collect there all my crops, and my good things!

But God said to him, Thou fool! this night shall they demand thy life from thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

Then said he to his disciples, For this reason I tell you, Be under no anxiety about your life, what ye shall eat, nor for your body, how ye shall be clothed.

Then said Peter unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or also for all?

Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude, said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day.

Then the Lord answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not every one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead him to water?

Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I compare it?

And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?

And a person said to him, Lord, are the saved few? And he said unto them,

And he said to them, Go tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and perform cures today and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall be perfected.

And they said nothing. And he took him, and healed him, and sent him away;

and addressing them, said, Whose ass or ox is fallen into a pit, and doth he not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day?

Then said he also to the person who had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, invite not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy relations, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompence be made to thee.

Then one of those who sat at table hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

And he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

And they all began with one voice to frame excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I must of necessity go and survey it: I pray thee hold me excused.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going to make a trial of them: I pray thee accept my excuse.

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

And that servant returning, informed his master of these things. Then the master of the family, being highly incensed, said to his servant, Go out instantly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

And the servant said, Sir, it is done as thou orderedst, and yet there is room.

And the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and urge them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Then he said, A certain man had two sons:

and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of substance which falls to my share. And he divided with them his fortune.

Then coming to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father abound with loaves of bread, and I am pining away with famine!

Then said the son unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and clothe him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet:

And he said, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed for him the stall-fed steer, because he hath received him in health.

But he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I am serving thee, and never have transgressed thy command: yet to me thou hast never once given a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all my possessions are thine.

THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures.

And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed.

So calling upon every one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master?

And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore.

And he said unto them, Ye are they who affect to be righteous persons before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God.

And crying out, he said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented with this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

And he said, I entreat thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to my paternal mansion:

But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent.

Then he said to him, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.

THEN he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come; but wo to him through whom they come!

And the disciples said unto the Lord, increase our faith.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

And looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean.

Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee.

And being asked by one of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Then said he to the disciples, The days will come when ye shall eagerly desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

37 And they answering, said to him, Where, Lord? And he said, Wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

And he would not for a long while: but after this he said, Though I fear not God, nor respect man;

Then said the Lord, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

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

Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good, but one, even God.

Then he said, All these things have I observed from my youth.

Then Jesus hearing this, said to him, Yet one thing thou lackest: sell all whatsoever thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Then Jesus, observing that he was very sorrowful, said, How difficultly shall they who have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!

And those who heard it said, Who then can be saved?

And he said, The things impossible with men, are possible with God.
