And he said, Yes indeed, blessed are those that hear the word of God and keep it.

The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

AT that time, the multitude being assembled by ten thousands, so that they trod one on another, he said to his disciples, Beware, first, of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

And I tell you, my friends, fear not those that kill the body, and after this have [power] to do nothing more.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, for you are of more value than many sparrows.

And I tell you, that whoever shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man confess before the angels of God;

but he that has denied me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.

And every one that speaks a word against the Son of man shall have forgiveness; but he that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.

for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what you ought to say.

So is every one that lays up treasures for himself and is not rich in God.

Is not the soul more than the food, and the body than the clothing?

Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap, and they have no private room, no storehouse; and God feeds them. How much are you better than the birds!

Consider the lilies; how they neither spin nor weave; but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them.

for all these things do the nations of the world seek; and your Father knows that you need them.

Sell your property and bestow charity; make yourselves purses that become not old, and a treasury that fails not, in heaven, where no thief approaches, nor moth destroys;

and be like men waiting for the coming of their lord, when he shall return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.

Blessed are those servants whom their lord when he comes shall find watching. I tell you truly, that he will gird himself, and cause them to recline, and he will come and wait upon them.

But know this, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.

I tell you truly, that he will set him over all his property.

But if that servant says in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begins to beat the younger servants, and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

the lord of that servant will come in a day that he looks not for him, and at an hour that he knows not of, and will punish him severely, and give him his part with the faithless.

And that servant who knew his lord's will and prepared not himself, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And from any one to whom much is given, much will be demanded; and of him with whom men have deposited much, they will ask more.

When you are invited by any one to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest at some time a more honorable man than you should have been invited by him,

and he that invited you and him come and say to you, Give this man a place; and then with shame you take the last place.

But when you are invited, go and sit down in the last place, that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher; then you shall have honor in the presence of those that recline with you;

for every one that exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

And he said also to him that had invited him, When you make a breakfast, or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also at some time invite you in return, and a compensation be made to you.

And one of those reclining with him, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he that eats bread in the kingdom of God.

AND he also said to the disciples, There was a certain rich man that had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his property.

I know what I will do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

And the lord praised the unjust steward, because he did wisely; for the children of this life are wiser, for their generation, than the children of light.

And I tell you, Make yourselves friends of the riches procured by injustice, that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.

And besides all this, there is a great chasm fixed between us and you, so that those wishing to pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass from thence to us.

for I have five brothers, to testify fully to them, that they may not also come to this place of torment

AND he said to his disciples, It is inevitable that offenses should come; but woe to him by whom they come;

it would be profitable for him if a millstone was placed around his neck, and he was cast into the sea, rather than that he should offend one of these little ones.

but will he not say to him, Prepare something that I may take supper, and gird yourself and wait on me till I eat and drink, and after that do you eat and drink?

And one of them seeing that he was cured, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice,

They eat, they drank, they married, they were married, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all.

but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all;

In that day let not him that shall be on the house, and his furniture in the house, come down to take it away; and in like manner let not him in the field turn back for things which are behind;

AND he spoke also a parable to them, that men ought to pray at all times, and not to faint;

And there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Give me judgment against my adversary.

yet because this widow makes me trouble I will give her judgment, that she may not vex me by her continual coming.

And he also spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

The Pharisee, standing by himself, offered this prayer; God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican;

It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, I tell you truly, that there is no one who has left a house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, on account of the kingdom of God,

saying, What do you wish me to do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

And running before, he went up on a sycamore that he might see him; for he was to pass by it.

And when they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh Jerusalem; and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.

And he returned, having received the kingdom, and ordered those servants to be called to him to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each one had done.

He said to him, Out of your mouth will I judge you, evil servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow?

And he said to those standing by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him that has ten minas,??25 and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas,??26 for I tell you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away;
