When Jesus and His disciples met the crowd [that was gathered], a man came kneeling down to Jesus and saying to Him,

And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.

because of your incredulity, said Jesus: for I tell you truly, if ye had ever so little faith, ye might say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it should remove; and nothing would be too difficult for you.

But, so that we might not offend them, after going to the sea, cast a hook. And take up the first fish coming up, and having opened its mouth, thou will find a four-drachma coin. After taking that, give thou to them for me and thee

But whoever hinders one of these children who believe in me might better have a great millstone hung around his neck and be sunk in the open sea.

"But if your own hand or your own foot makes you fall, cut it off and throw it away. You might better enter upon life maimed or crippled than keep both hands and feet but be thrown into the everlasting fire.

And if your own eye makes you fall, dig it out and throw it away. You might better enter upon life with only one eye than be thrown with both eyes into the fiery pit.

But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

Again I say to you truly, that if two of you should agree on the earth concerning every matter, whatever they might ask, it will happen for them from my Father in the heavens.

For wherever two or three have met as my disciples, I am right there with them."

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.

But no sooner had that servant gone out, than he met with one of his fellow servants who owed him 100 shillings; and seizing him by the throat and nearly strangling him he exclaimed, "'Pay me all you owe.'

and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, - and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.

Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

Was it not mete also, that thou shouldest have had compassion on thy fellow, even as I had pity on thee?'

'And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;

And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.

Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

He said [Gen. 2:24], 'For this reason [i.e., since He made one woman for one man], a man will leave [the home of] his father and mother and will cling to his wife, [so that] the two of them will [then] become one flesh [i.e., united in such a close relationship as to constitute one body]?'

They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. 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.

Then Jesus said, “Leave the children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this.”

And, behold, one having come said to him, Good teacher, what good shall I do, that I might have eternal life?

The young man asked Him, "Which [ones]?" Jesus answered, "You must not murder. You must not be sexually unfaithful to your mate. You must not steal. You must not give false testimony.

And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

and having made an agreement with them for a shilling a day, sent them into his vineyard.

[Then] he went out again about noon and again at three o'clock in the afternoon and made the same offer.

And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,

Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons [i.e., James and John] came to Jesus with her sons and, bowing down in reverence before Him, made a request of Him.

And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Say that these my two sons might sit, the one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.

But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?

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 the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

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

All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And the blind and the broken in body came to him in the Temple, and he made them well.

and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus replied to them, “Yes; have you never read [in the Scripture], ‘Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared and provided praise for Yourself’?”

And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not.

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.

then he sent a greater number of servants, than at first: who met with the same treatment.

But finally he sent to them his son, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.

Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?

When they attempted to arrest Him, [they hesitated because] they feared [what] the crowds [might do], since they considered Jesus a prophet.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

This made the king angry, and he sent his troops and put those murderers to death and burned their city.

Go out therefore to the crossroads, and everybody you meet invite to the wedding.'

And those servants went out on the roads and gathered all they met, bad and good alike. Thus the marriage-banquet was supplied with guests.

But when the king came in [to the dining hall] to meet the guests, he noticed a man who was not wearing a [proper] wedding outfit.

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they met together in the same place.

And one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, that he might tempt him, saying:

And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the sanctuary of the temple that sanctified the gold?

O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.

So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar.

See, your house is made waste

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.

But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Then all those virgins got up, and made ready their lights.

But the prudent answered saying, We cannot, lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.

But he made answer and said, Truly I say to you, I have no knowledge of you.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

In the same way the one who was given two talents made two more.

The man who had received the three thousand pounds came up and brought three thousand more. 'Sir,' he said, 'you entrusted me with three thousand pounds; look, I have made another three thousand!'

Then the one who had received the twelve hundred pounds came up and said 'Sir, you entrusted me with twelve hundred pounds; look, I have made another twelve hundred!'

fear made me hide the talent under ground: but there you have what is your own.

It was binding on thee, therefore, to cast my silver into the money-changers, - and, I, when I, came, might have obtained what was mine, with interest.

For, to every one that hath, shall be given, and he shall be made to abound; but, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away from him:

Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

But they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people.”

There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the Chief Priests,

And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
