Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to implore him, saying, 'Be patient with me and I will repay you!'

But he did not want to, but rather he went [and] threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.

When his fellow-servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and went to their master and laid the whole matter before him.

Then his master summoned him [and] said to him, 'Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

And [because he] was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished those sayings, he got him from Galilee, and came in to the coasts of Jewry beyond Jordan;

And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

And Pharisees came up to him [in order to] test him, and asked if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife for any cause.

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!"

For there are eunuchs who were born as such from [their] mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves [eunuchs] for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept [this], let him accept [it]."

Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

And behold, someone came up to him [and] said, "Teacher, what good [thing] must I do so that I will have eternal life?"

And he said to him, "Why are you asking me about [what is] good? There is one [who is] good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!"

He said to him, "Which [ones]?" And Jesus said, "Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,

The young man said to him, "All these I have observed. What do I still lack?"

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'

And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with him apart in the way, and said to them,

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock [him] and flog [him] and crucify [him], and on the third day he will be raised."

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, [and] kneeling down [she] asked something from him.

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom."

But Jesus answered [and] said, "You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

But Jesus having called them to him, said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them.

It shall not be so among you: But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister,

and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;

And [as] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

They said to him, "Lord, that our eyes be opened!"

And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received [their] sight and followed him.

and if any one say any thing to you, tell him the Lord hath need of them, and he will immediately send them.

and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon.

And most of the crowd spread their coats in his way, and others cut branches from the trees and scattered them before him.

And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!"

When he entered Jerusalem the whole city was in excitement over him. "Who is this?" they said,

And the blind and the lame came up to him in the temple [courts] and he healed them.

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And [after] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him [while he] was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these [things]? And who gave you this authority?"

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

"If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet."

"But give me your judgment. There was once a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said to him, "'Son, go work today in my vineyard!'

then he came to the other, and bid him do the same. and he answered, yes, sir; but went not.

Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him. And [when] you saw [it], you did not even change your minds later [so as] to believe in him.

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and [the one] on whom it falls--it will crush him!"

And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

But they slighted him, and went away, one to his field and another to his merchandize:

but upon the king's coming in to see the guests, he observ'd one there without a wedding garment: and he said to him,

And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

For many people are called [by God] but [only those] few [who respond] are chosen [by Him]."

Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

Let me see the tax money. And they gave him a penny.

They brought him a denarius. Then he asked them, "Whose face and name is this?"

They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother must marry his widow and raise up a family for him.'

And the multitudes, hearing Him, were astonished at His teaching.

and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

trying him and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.

He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,

If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son?

And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

But let him that is greatest among you be your minister: and whosoever will exalt himself shall be abased,

15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of hell as yourselves.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

Alas for you, you blind guides! You say 'if any answer by the Temple, his oath counts for nothing; but, if any one swears by the gold of the Temple, his oath is binding him'!

You say, too, 'If any one swears by the altar, his oath counts for nothing, but, if any one swears by the offering placed on it, his oath is binding on him'!

And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is

And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.

For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

At that time many will be offended and repelled [by their association with Me] and will fall away [from the One whom they should trust] and will betray one another [handing over believers to their persecutors] and will hate one another.

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in what is a holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)

Let not him that is on the house-top,

Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:

And let not him who is in the field go back to get his coat.

Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;

So then, if someone says to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe him.

And he will send his angels, with a great trumpet, and they will gather his People round him from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

And this observe, that if the master of the family had known in which watch of the night the thief would have come, he would have watched, and not have suffered him to break into his house.

So you, too, must continue to be ready, for at an hour you are not expecting Him the Son of Man will come.

Blessed is that slave if, when his master comes back, he finds him so doing.

Truly, I say to you, he will put him over all he has.

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.

And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.
