No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

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 in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.

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

For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?

And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.

Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.

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.

But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?

And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

For David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Take your seat at my right hand,

And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.

Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make the Passover ready for us, so that we may take it.

And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong

But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.

John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.

And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.

If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life.

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.

But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life.

I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.
