And the lord of that servant, having felt compassion, loosed him, and let go to him the money lent.

But that [same] servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him a small sum of money [Note: The amount was about days of a farm laborer's pay or about $7,000 in 1994]. He grabbed him by the throat, saying, 'Pay [me] what you owe.'

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye do not forgive each man his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

He answered, and said unto them, "Have ye not read, how that he which made man at the beginning, made them man and woman?

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

They replied, "Why then did Moses order [a man] to provide a legal divorce decree [Deut. 24:1], and then divorce his wife?"

Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives [only] because of the rebellious spirits you [Jews] had. But this was not how it was [intended to be] from the beginning [i.e., when God created one woman for one man].

"And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."

His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

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.

And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what [essentially] good thing shall I do to obtain eternal life [that is, eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?”

The young man asked him, "Which ones?"

Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"

The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

and agreeing with the men for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard:

To those men he said, ‘You also go to my vineyard, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So off they went.

So the men went. Going out again about mid-day and about three o'clock, he did as before.

[Finally] he went out [once more] at about five o'clock in the afternoon and found [still] other men standing around. He said, 'Why have you been standing around all day and not working?'

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

"When evening came, the master said to his steward, "'Call the men and pay them their wages. Begin with the last set and finish with the first.'

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the good man of the house, saying,

saying, ‘These men who came last worked [only] one hour, and yet you have made them equal [in wages] to us who have carried [most of] the burden and [worked in] the scorching heat of the day.’

Then he replied to one of them, 'My man, I am not wronging you. Did you not agree with me for a shilling?

Take what belongs to you and go, but I choose to give to this last man [hired] the same as I give to you.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit [in positions of honor and authority] one on Your right and one on Your left.”

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them].

But thus shall it not be with you. But whosoever will be a great man among you, let him be your servant;

Even as the Son of man came not to be served,

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

The crowd told them to be quiet; but the men only called out the louder: "Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!"

And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

And when He had come to Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up; they were asking, "Who is this man?"

The crowds kept saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, the man from Nazareth in Galilee."

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of he money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,

and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away.

The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

Then the man came to the second son and said the same thing; and he replied, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go.

For John came to you [walking] in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even change your mind afterward and believe him [accepting what he proclaimed to you].

Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husband-men?"

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,

Again, sent he other servants, saying - Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain, - and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage-feast.

So go to the main highways that lead out of the city, and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.

"The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "'Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

That same day some Sadducees came up to him, men who hold there is no resurrection. They put this question to him:

Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

For in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven [who do not marry nor produce children].

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'

In the mean time one of them, a Doctor of the law, to try him, started this question, master,

And the second is similar to it: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'

And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

And you must not let men call you master, for you have only one master, the Christ.

The man who would be the greatest among you must be your servant.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.

"It is too bad for you blind leaders who say that whoever takes an oath 'by the Temple,' it does not [really] mean anything, but whoever takes an oath 'by the gold of the Temple,' he is obligated to [fulfill] the oath.

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

And [you say], whoever takes an oath 'by the Altar,' it does not [really] mean anything, but whoever takes an oath 'by the gift on the Altar,' he is obligated to [fulfill] the oath.

You [spiritually] blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

Therefore a man, swearing by the altar, swears by it and by all that is on it,

and a man, swearing by the Temple, swears by it and by him who dwells in it,

while a man, swearing by Heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits upon it.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

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

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,

By doing this you are furnishing evidence against yourselves that you are true children of the men who murdered the Prophets.

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

"For I tell you that never shall you see me again until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." "nor did they know until the deluge came and swept them away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
