he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.

'And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.'

And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'

for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'

but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!

and they not having wherewith to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'

And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;

a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what time I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;

with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;

'And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.

And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

'And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.

for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.

'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'

And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,

and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;

While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's house, saying to him -- 'Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'

and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, 'Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'

and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.

and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.'

And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:

and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'

And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

And John answering said, 'Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'

and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, 'Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

and Jesus said to him, 'The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'

and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy is the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

'And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'

and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, 'Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'

but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.'

seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,

and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.

'I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.

'When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;

And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, 'This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,

if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'

and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.

unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?

'But woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

'Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.'

and he said, 'And to you, the lawyers, woe! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

'Woe to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'

and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;

'And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;

'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,

but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.

and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.

'And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,

And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'

and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

'Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?

If, then, ye are not able for the least -- why for the rest are ye anxious?

'Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these;

And ye -- seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,

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

'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;

'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;

and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'

the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for him, and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.

'And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes,

and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time -- how do ye not make proof of it?

'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?

I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'

No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.

No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.'

And he spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless?

and if indeed it may bear fruit -- ;and if not so, thereafter thou shalt cut it off.'

and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,

And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, 'Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

Then the Lord answered him and said, 'Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water it?

and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

'Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are,

and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the unrighteousness.
