verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.

But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,

the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.

But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared himself nor done his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:

Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how is it then that ye do not discern this time?

Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices.

And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

and if it shall bear fruit but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.

From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected;

but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the day following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, who was of the Pharisees, to eat bread on the sabbath, that they were watching him.

And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

And one of those that were lying at table with them, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, more than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.

and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls to me. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.

But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout 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.

But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:

But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.

And having called him, he said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.

I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.

And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles.

He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.

and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?

The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.

But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.

Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.

And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.

And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

But Abraham said, Child, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.

And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who desire to cross from there pass over unto us.

And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,

for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

And he said to his disciples, It cannot be but that offences come, but woe to him by whom they come!

It would be more profitable for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should be a snare to one of these little ones.

But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?

Thus ye also, when ye shall have done all things that have been ordered you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen; we have done what it was our duty to do.

And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

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

they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them;

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

after this manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

I say to you, In that night there shall be two men upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go.

And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,

and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.

at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.

I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest of men, this parable:

The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that other. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw it rebuked them.

And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;

But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

And he took the twelve to him and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;

And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.

And those who were going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.

And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that way.

for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this man should reign over us.

And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.

And he said to him, Well done, thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give it to him who has the ten minas.

For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;

for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,

And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,

but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.

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

But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them.

And having watched him, they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in his language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no man's person, but teachest with truth the way of God:

And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him,

but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in the section of the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,

And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;
