Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.

I say to you in truth, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.

But if that servant say in his heart, My lord is long in coming; and begin to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and be drunken,

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.

And that servant who knew his lords will, and did not make ready, nor do according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes;

but he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.

Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division.

Hypocrites! ye know how to judge of the face of the earth and the sky; but how is it that ye know not how to judge of this time

And he answering said to them, Do ye think that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered such things?

Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?

And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them,

And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Lo! I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I make an end.

But today and tomorrow and the next day I must go on; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Lo! your house is abandoned to you. I declare to you, Ye will not see me until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And it came to pass, when he had come into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees on the sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

But when thou art invited, go and recline in the lowest place, that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher. Then wilt thou have honor in the presence of all who are at table with thee.

For every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; and he that humbleth himself will be exalted.

And all with one accord began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and must needs go out and see it; I pray that I may be excused.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going out to try them; I pray that I may be excused.

And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled.

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

lest haply when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to make sport of him,

Or what king, setting out to give battle to another king, will not first sit down and consider whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

So likewise, whoever of you doth not forsake all that he hath, cannot be my disciple.

It is fit neither for the land, nor for the dunghill; men cast it out. He that hath ears, let him hear.

What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninetynine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?

I say to you, that in like manner there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninetynine righteous men who have no need of repentance.

I say to you, that thus there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.

And when he had spent all, there arose a great famine in that country; and he began to be in want.

And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

And he longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave to him.

And he answering said to his father, Lo! for so many years have I served thee, and never transgressed thy command; and yet to me thou never gavest a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.

And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.

And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do, now that my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? I cannot dig, I am ashamed to beg.

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.

And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon; that, when it faileth, ye may be received into everlasting habitations.

He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.

and if ye have not been faithful in that which is anothers, who will give you that which is your own?

And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly exalted among men is an abomination before God.

The Law and the Prophets were till John; from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God have been published, and every one is forcing his way into it.

Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he who marrieth a woman that hath been put away from her husband, committeth adultery.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus in like manner his evil things; but now he is comforted here, and thou art tormented.

And besides all this, between us and you there is placed a great gulf, so that those who wish to cross from hence to you may not be able, and that those on that side cannot cross over to us.

for I have five brothers; that he may give earnest warning to them, that they too may not come into this place of torment.

And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumblingblocks will come; but woe to him through whom they come!

Doth he owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?

So also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.

And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

And one of them, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with a loud voice;

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven, so will the Son of man be in his day.

In that day, let not him who is upon the housetop, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back.

I tell you, In that night there will be two men on one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.

And he spoke a parable to them to show that they ought to pray always, and not be fainthearted:

And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary!

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?

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

The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I gain.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth himself will be exalted.

And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; and the disciples, on seeing it, rebuked them.

And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.

And Jesus hearing this said to him, One thing thou still lackest: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly do they that have riches enter the kingdom of God!

And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There is no one that hath left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

And it came to pass, as he drew near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

And he ran on before, and climbed up a sycamoretree to see him; for he was to pass that way.

for the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

And while they were hearing these things, he proceeded and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.

And it came to pass, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what each had gained by trading.

He saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds.

I say to you, that to every one who hath, will be given; but from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.

But as for those enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me.

And he answering said, I tell you, that if these are silent, the stones will cry out.

saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, and that in this thy day, the things that concern thy peace! but now they are hidden from thine eyes.

And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, that the priests and the scribes with the elders came upon him,

and spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? Or who is he that gave thee this authority?

But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

And they answered, that they did not know whence it was.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

Every one who falleth upon that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falleth, it will grind him to powder.

And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour, but they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.

And they kept watch on him, and sent forth spies feigning themselves to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the civil power and to the authority of the governor.

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly.

And he said to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods.

Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and asked him,

but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

But that the dead are raised, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

And he said to them, How is it that men say that the Christ is Davids son?

And he said, In truth I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.
