But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Blessed are those servants, whom their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on them.

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

And this know, that if the master of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would watch, and not suffer his house to be broken through.

And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think it, the Son of man comes.

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time?

Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing.

the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for him, and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

“I have come to cast fire (judgment) on the earth; and how I wish that it were already kindled!

I have a baptism [of great suffering] with which to be baptized, and how [greatly] I am distressed until it is accomplished!

upon which Jesus thus address'd himself to them. do you imagine that those Galileans were greater sinners than the rest of the nation, because they suffer'd in such a manner?

Or those eighteen upon which the tower in Siloam fell and slew them: think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwell in Jerusalem?

And He began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years from which I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and I find none: cut it down; why indeed does it cumber the ground?

to which he made answer, sir, let it alone one year longer, till I shall dig about it, and dung it.

And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

to which Jesus replied, thou hypocrite, who is there among you that scruples to untie his ox or his ass, and lead him from the stall to water on the sabbath-day?

And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

and somebody ask'd him, Lord, will there be but few people saved? to which he answered,

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, 'Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill thee;'

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

One Sabbath, when He went to take a meal at the house of a Pharisee who was a member of the council, they continued to watch Him closely.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

Jesus therefore addressing himself to the doctors of the law, and to the Pharisees, said, is it allowable to perform a cure on the sabbath-day? to which they made no answer.

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,

and thou shalt be happy; because they have nothing with which to recompense thee: and it shall be recompensed unto thee in the resurrection of the just.

"A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests.

but they were all of a mind in making some excuse: the first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, which I must needs go and see: therefore pray excuse me.

another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, which I am going to prove: I beg you to excuse me.

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

But if not, while he is yet a great way off, sending an embassy, he asks for those things which appertain to peace.

at which the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying, this man gives access to men of bad character, and eats with them.

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

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living.

And he went, and clave to a citizen of that same country, which sent him to his field, to keep his swine.

And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.

And he was angry, and did not wish to come in: and his father having gone out, continued to intreat him. And responding he said to the father,

But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.

upon which the steward said in himself, what shall I do, now my master strips me of my employment? dig I cannot: and 'tis shameful to beg: I see it now,

"But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish.

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.

So then if ye have not been faithful in the wicked mammon, who will believe you in that which is true?

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

No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand devotedly by the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon [that is, your earthly possessions or anything else you trust in and rely on instead of God].”

All these things heard the Pharisees also which were covetous. And they mocked him,

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that occasions which cause people to be led astray [from God] will come, but it is too bad for that person who is responsible for it happening.

"Watch yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he?

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.

Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.

For as the lightning shines which lightens from one end under heaven to the other end under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day.

Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.

and on the day on which Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all.

Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

And there was a certain widow in the same city, which came unto him saying, 'Avenge me of mine adversary.'

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

But the publican, standing a great way off, did not wish even to lift up his eyes to the heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me the sinner.

upon which the audience said, who then can be saved?

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

which same shall not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come: life everlasting."

Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

What do you wish that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may look up.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not see because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.
