For a good tree does not produce unsound fruit; nor does an unsound tree produce good fruit.

For every tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes gathered from brambles.

But why call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I command?

He is like a man that, when building a house, digged deep, and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the torrent dashed against that house, and it was not able to shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the torrent dashed with violence, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof.

And when Jesus heard these things, he was filled with admiration for him; and, turning to the multitude that followed, he said: I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.

but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.

They are like children sitting in the market-place, who call to one another, and say, We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs for you, and you have not lamented.

You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.

For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.

Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.

And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice: "What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not.

And they be sought him, that he would not command them to -go away into the abyss.

And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.

While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.

And all were weeping and lamenting her. Bat he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off even the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.

But the multitudes knew it, and followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

But I say to you, of a truth, there are some of these who stand here that shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said.

And I entreated thy disciples to cast it out; but they were not able.

But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they might not understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

And John answered and said: Master, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.

And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for whoever is not against us, is for us.

And they did not receive him, because his face was turned toward Jerusalem.

But he turned and rebuked them, and said: You know not of what spirit you are.

And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.

And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest on him; but, if not, it shall return upon you.

And in that house remain, eating and drinking what they have to give; for the laborer is worthy of his hire; go not from house to house.

But whatever city you enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of it, and say:

However, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.

But Martha made herself busy with much serving; and she came to him, and said: Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her, therefore, that she help me.

one thing is needful; and Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.

and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is already closed, and my children and myself are in bed; I can not rise and give you.

I say to you, Although he will not arise and give him, because he is his friend, yet, on account of his importunity, he will arise and give him as many as he needs.

He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathers not with me, scatters.

And when the Pharisee saw it, he wondered that he had not first immersed himself before dinner.

Senseless men, did not he who made the outside, make the inside also?

But alas for you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have left undone.

Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like graves that are not seen; and men that walk over them know it not.

He replied: Alas for you, lawyers, also! for you bind upon men burdens hard to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers,

Alas for you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not go in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you prevented.

For there is nothing covered, which shall not be revealed, and hid, which shall not be made known.

But I say to you, my friends, Fear not them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but he that speaks impiously against the Holy Spirit, shall not be forgiven.

When they bring you to the synagogues, and to rulers and authorities, be not anxious how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;

And he said to them: Take heed and beware of covetousness; for a man's life depends not on the abundance of his possessions.

But God said to him: Senseless man, this night shall your soul be required of you; and who shall have the things which you have provided?

So is he that lays up treasure for him self, and is not rich toward God.

And he said to his disciples: For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.

If, therefore, you can not do that which is the least, why are you anxious about the rest?

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, they spin not; yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

If, then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?

And seek not what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, and be not in anxious suspense.

For all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.

Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Sell what you have, and be charitable. Make for yourselves purses that do not become old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near, and no moth corrupts.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Be you, therefore, ready also; for at an hour when you think not, the Son of man comes.

the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.

but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. To whomever much has been given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have intrusted much, of him will they ask the more.

Hypocrites, you know how to judge of the face of the earth, and of the heavens; but how is it that you do not judge of this time?

And why even of yourselves do you not judge what is right?

I say to you, You shall not come out thence, till you have paid the very last mite.

and it may bear fruit; but if not, after ward you shall cut it down.

And, behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and was not able to raise herself up at all.

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath-day, answered and said to the multitude: There are six days in which work ought to be done; on these, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him and said:

Hypocrites, does not each one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stable, and lead him away, and give him water?

And ought not this woman, who is a daughter of Abra ham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?

Strive to enter in through the strait gate; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

When once the master of the house has risen, and closed the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence you are;

And he shall say, I tell you, I know you not, whence you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.

But I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not possible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

Behold, your house is deserted; and I say to you, You shall not see me till the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

And he answered and said to them: Which of you, if his son or his ox should fall into a pit, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day?

And they were not able to give him an answer to these things.

When you are invited by any one to a wedding, do not recline in the first place, lest a more honorable man than you may have been invited by him;

Then he said also to him that had invited him: "When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made you.

And another said, I have married a wife, and, for this reason, I can not come.

For I say to you, that not one of those men who have been invited, shall taste of my supper.

If any one comes to me, and hates not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and his own life also, he can not be my disciple.

And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, can not be my disciple.

For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down, and count the cost, whether he has the means to finish it?

Lest, when he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all that see it begin to deride him,

saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Or, what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down, and deliberate whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him that is coming; against him with twenty thousand?

And if not, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an embassy, and asks for conditions of peace.

So, then, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, can not be my disciple.

What man of you that has a hundred sheep, and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which is lost, till he find it?

I say to you, That thus there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance.
