When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!"

Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?

As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' then he will answer and tell you, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'

Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

It happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn't immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don't sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them.

I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.

I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants."'

The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.'

But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

"He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.'"

He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'

Then he said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'

"His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will 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 else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and mammon."

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

"But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.

Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them,

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."

yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

You know the commandments: 'Don't commit adultery,' 'Don't murder,' 'Don't steal,' 'Don't give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"

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

He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,

He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn't understand the things that were said.

Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."

When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'

"He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'

"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn't lay down, and reap that which you didn't sow.'

"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down, and reaping that which I didn't sow.

saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"

Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."

saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation."

They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?"

the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?"

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

They answered that they didn't know where it was from.

Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They answered, "Caesar's."

He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

They weren't able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer, and were silent.

There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

Jesus said to them, "The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage.
