I am come to send fire on the earth; and would that it were already kindled?

When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may settle with him; lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.

There were present at that time some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose you that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and fertilize it:

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because 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.

The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

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

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

When once the Master of the house is risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know not where you come from:

Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.

But he shall say, I tell you, I know not where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.

And, behold, some are last who shall be first, and some are first who shall be last.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them that are sent unto you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and you would not!

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, you shall not see me, until the time comes when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

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

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

When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest place; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;

And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man your place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that bade you come, he may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with you.

Then said he also to him that bade him, When you give a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

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

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation, and desires conditions of peace.

Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loses one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she finds it?

And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.

And he said unto him, your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.

And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years have I served you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

But as soon as this your son came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.

And he said unto him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.

It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.

And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

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

And if you 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 else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

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

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.

It would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he was cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

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 eat?

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

So likewise you, when you 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, who stood afar off:

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

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

And he said unto him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered together.

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

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.

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

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

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

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

And Jesus said unto him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at your house.

Then came the first, saying, Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.

And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

For I feared you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you laid not down, and reap what you did not sow.

And he said unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:

Saying, Go into the village opposite you; in which at your entering you shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.

And they that were sent went their way, and found it even as he had said unto them.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose you the colt?

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.

For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a bank about you, and surround you, and hem you in on every side,

And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

And spoke unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do you these things? or who is he that gave you this authority?

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

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

And they answered, that they could not tell from where it was.

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.

There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Till I make your enemies your footstool.

Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand what you shall answer:

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to contradict nor resist.

But there shall not a hair of your head perish.

In your patience you will gain your souls.

Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter into it.
