Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?

these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.

But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And the disciples hearing it fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.

Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said to him, Why were not we able to cast him out?

And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.

And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he do not hear thee, take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.

For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.

But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.

for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

And when the disciples heard it they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?

But Jesus, looking on them, said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.

Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.

And the ten, having heard of it, were indignant about the two brothers.

It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;

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

They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,

The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.

Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.

Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;

For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.

And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.

And when the crowds heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.

But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

But ye, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all ye are brethren.

And call not any one your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.

Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.

But the greatest of you shall be your servant.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for ye do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.

Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold?

Fools and blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?

He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

Thus also ye, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

and ye say, If we had been in the days of our fathers we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:

and ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.

Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city;

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;

But all these are the beginning of throes.

then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:

Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe it not.

For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,

Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.

And five of them were prudent and five foolish.

They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;

And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.

But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,

And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?

and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?

and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?

Then shall they also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

Now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and blessed, broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.

Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

Now they that had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on,
