Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.

Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?

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.

I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:

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.

I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.

If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?

And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?

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

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.

But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

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 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 men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

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.

For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

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

And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.

Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

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

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.

And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

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.

Who will not get much more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.

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.

For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:

And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

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.

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 I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

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,

And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

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?

But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

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.

And driving him out of the garden they put him to death. Now what will the lord do to these workmen?

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.

Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but the man on whom the stone comes down will be crushed to dust.

When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.

As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

And they said to him, Master, when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these events are to take place?

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.

And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.

Then he said to them, Nation will be moved against nation and kingdom against kingdom:

There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.

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 it will be turned to a witness for you.

So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

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

But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.

By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.

For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;

Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.

Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all things are complete.

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

For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.

For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.

For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

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

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.

But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

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.

If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief;

And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer.

But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

And so I will give him punishment and let him go.

And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?

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