And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.

And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come.

And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room.

And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full.

And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not be my disciple.

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!

And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.

But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:

And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.

But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.

And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.

And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.

And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.

And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord?

And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty.

Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.

And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.

And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;

But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.

And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.

And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.

And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.

Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.

And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.

And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,

And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.

The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.

And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.

And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?

But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.

And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?

And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.

And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.

And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.

Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.

And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.

And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

And they said, The Lord has need of him.

And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,

Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

And in answer he said to them, I will put a question to you, and do you give me an answer:

And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

And Jesus said, And I will not make clear to you by what authority I do these things.

And the lord of the garden said, What am I to do? I will send my dearly loved son; they may give respect to him.

But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.

But he, looking on them, said, Is it not in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has become the chief stone of the building?

But he saw through their trick and said to them,

Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.
