And He turned to His disciples and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen them, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard them.

And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, as in Heaven, so also on the earth.

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,

And he answering from inside may say, Do not trouble me. The door is now shut and my children are in bed with me. I cannot rise and give to you.

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.

And I say to you, Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened to you.

If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

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.

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, or under a grain-measure, but on a lampstand, so that they who come in may see the light.

And when the Pharisee saw it, he was amazed that He had not first washed before dinner.

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

so that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple. Truly I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.

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

In the meantime, when there had gathered together an innumerable crowd of people, so as to trample on one another, He began to say to His disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

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 when they bring you into the synagogues, and to rulers and authorities, take no thought as to how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say.

For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.

And He said to them, Watch and keep yourselves from covetousness. For a man's life is not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat drink and be merry.

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

And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious as to your life, what you shall eat; nor for the body, what you shall put on.

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap, having neither storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you better than the birds?

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not toil, they do not spin. And yet I say to you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

If then God so clothes the grass (which today is in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven) how much more will He clothe you, O little-faiths?

Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

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.

Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you that he shall gird himself and make them recline; and coming up he will serve them.

And if he comes in the second watch, or comes in the third watch, and find it so, blessed are those servants.

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.

And that servant who knew his lord's will and did not prepare, nor did according to His will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

And He also said to the crowd, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, There is a shower coming. And so it is.

And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it occurs.

And when Jesus saw her, He called and said to her, Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity.

Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For I say to you, many will seek to enter in and shall not be able.

And once the Master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He shall answer and say to you, I do not know you; from where are you;

then you shall begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You have taught in our streets.

But He shall say, I tell you, I do not know you; from where you are. Depart from Me, all workers of unrighteousness!

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrust out.

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And truly I say to you, You will not see Me until it come when you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.

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.

But when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then glory shall be to you before those reclining with you.

And he sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

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 the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

For I say to you that none of these men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

So then, everyone of you who does not forsake all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple.

I say to you that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Likewise I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

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 answering he said to his father, Lo, these many years I have served you, neither did I transgress your commandment at any time. And yet you never gave me a kid so that I might make merry with my friends.

I know what I will do, so that when I am put out of the stewardship they may receive me into their houses.

So he called every one of his lord's debtors and said; to the first, How much do you owe my lord?

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 I say to you, Make friends by the mammon of unrighteousness for yourselves, so that when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.

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

and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs came and licked his sores.

And it happened that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich one also died and was buried.

And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

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

And besides all this, there is a great chasm fixed between you and us; so that they desiring to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they pass over to us from there.

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

for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

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.

And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, Be rooted up and be planted in the sea! And it would obey you.

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.

So likewise you, when you shall have done all the things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, for we have done what we ought to do.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and glorified God with a loud voice.

Nor shall they say, Lo here! or, behold, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.

And He said to the disciples, The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you shall not see it.

And they shall say to you, Lo, here! or, behold, there! Do not go away, nor follow.

For as the lightning which lights up, flashing from the one part under heaven, and shines to the other part under heaven, so also shall the Son of Man be in His day.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it also shall be in the days of the Son of Man.

So also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

Even so it shall be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Remember Lot's wife.

And he would not do so for a time. But afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God nor regard man,

I say to you that He will avenge them speedily. Yet when the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?

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

Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no way enter into it.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How hardly those having riches shall enter into the kingdom of God!

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich one to enter into the kingdom of God.

And He said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,

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 immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And when they saw, all the people gave praise to God.

And he sought to see Jesus, to see who He was. And he could not because of the press, because he was little in stature.

And he ran in front and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him. For He was to pass through that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him. And He said to him, Zaccheus! Hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.

And when he had received his kingdom and had returned, then it happened that he commanded these servants to be called to him; the ones to whom he had given the silver; so that he might know what each had gained by trading.

For I feared you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.

And he said to him, I will judge you out of your own mouth, wicked servant! You knew that I was a harsh man, taking up what I had not laid down and reaping what I did not sow.

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

And if anyone asks you, Why are you untying it? You will say this to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
