Going further on, he saw two other men who were also brothers, James, Zebediah's son, and his brother John, in their boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them,

Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these commandments, even the least of them, and teaches others to do so, will be the least- esteemed in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever keeps them, and teaches others to do so, will be esteemed great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I, however, say to you that you must not resist wrong; but, if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also;

And, if you show courtesy to your brothers only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do this!

Take care not to perform your religious duties in public in order to be seen by others; if you do, your Father who is in Heaven has no reward for you.

Therefore, when you do acts of charity, do not have a trumpet blown in front of you, as hypocrites do in the Synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. There, I tell you, is their reward!

For, if you forgive others their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;

But, if you do not forgive others their offences, not even your Father will forgive your offences.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

For, just as you judge others, you will yourselves be judged, and the measure that you mete will be meted out to you.

Do to others whatever you would wish them to do to you; for that is the teaching of both the Law and the Prophets.

For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them 'Go,' he goes, and to another 'Come,' he comes, and to my slave 'Do this,' he does it."

And on getting to the other side--the country of the Gadarenes--Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.

Then he said to the man. "Stretch out your hand." The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other.

Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first. So, too, will it be with this wicked generation."

This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that 'the wild birds come and roost in its branches.'"

Great crowds of people came to him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, or dumb, and many others. They put them down at his feet, and he cured them;

"Some say John the Baptist," they answered, "Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets."

"Yes," answered Peter. But, on going into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said: "What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings take taxes or tribute? From their sons, or from others?"

"From others," answered Peter. "Well then," continued Jesus, "their sons go free.

But, if he does not listen to you, take with you one or two others, so that 'on the evidence of two or three witnesses, every word may be put beyond dispute.'

But the other would not, but went and put him in prison till he should pay his debt.

At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.

Some men, it is true, have from birth been disabled for marriage, while others have been disabled by their fellow men, and others again have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him accept it who can."

"What commandments?" asked the man. "These," answered Jesus:-- "'Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not say what is false about others.

On going out again, about nine o'clock, he saw some others standing in the market-place, doing nothing.

When he went out about five, he found some other men standing there, and said to them 'Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'

"What is it that you want?" he asked. "I want you to say," she replied, "that in your Kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right, and the other on your left."

On hearing of this, the ten others were very indignant about the two brothers.

But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other 'Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.'

"Miserable wretches!" they exclaimed, "he will put them to a miserable death, and he will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will pay him his share of the produce at the proper times."

While they make up heavy loads and pile them on other men's shoulder's they decline, themselves, to lift a finger to move them.

It is the same with you. Outwardly, and to others, you have the look of religious men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and sin.

And he will send his angels, with a great trumpet, and they will gather his People round him from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Afterwards the other bridesmaids came. 'Sir, Sir,' they said, 'open the door to us!'

Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so:

At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the 'King of Israel'! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.

After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary had gone to look at the grave,

You do not know the meaning of this parable!" he went on; "Then how will you understand all the other parables?

But the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the Message, so that it gives no return.

By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard-seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,

Yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even 'the wild birds can roost in its shelter.'"

So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.

And they came to the other side of the Sea--the country of the Gerasenes;

Others again said--"He is Elijah," and others--"He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets."

When they come from market, they will not eat without first sprinkling themselves; and there are many other customs which they have inherited and hold to, such as the ceremonial washing of cups, and jugs, and copper pans).

"John the Baptist," they answered, "but others say Elijah, while others say one of the Prophets."

When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd round them, and some Teachers of the Law arguing with them.

On leaving that place, Jesus went into the district of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered about him again; and again, as usual, he began teaching them.

You know the commandments--'Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not say what is false about others. Do not cheat. Honor thy father and thy mother.'"

"Grant us this," they answered, "to sit, one on your right, and the other on your left, when you come in glory."

On hearing of this, the ten others were at first very indignant about James and John.

He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others- -some they beat and some they killed.

What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.

"Wisely answered, Teacher!" exclaimed the Teacher of the Law. "It is true, as you say, that 'there is one God,' and that 'there is no other besides him';

On this, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said: "I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;

And then he will send the angels, and gather his People from the four winds, from one end of the world to the other.

And with him they crucified two robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the 'King of Israel,' come down from the cross now, that we may see it and believe." Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus reviled him.

All of whom used to accompany Jesus when he was in Galilee, and attend on him--besides many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

In order that you may be able to satisfy yourself of the accuracy of the story which you have heard from the lips of others.]

Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea--because he belonged to the family and house of David--

Jesus, however, said to them: "I must take the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other town also, for that was why I was sent."

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats so full of fish that they were almost sinking.

And Levi gave a great entertainment at his house, in honor of Jesus; and a large number of tax-gatherers and others were at table with them.

When a man gives one of you a blow on the cheek, offer the other cheek as well; and, when any one takes away your cloak, do not keep back your coat either.

Do to others as you wish them to do to you.

Give, and others will give to you. A generous measure, pressed and shaken down, and running over, will they pour into your lap; For the measure that you mete will be meted out to you in return."

There is no such thing as a good tree bearing worthless fruit, or, on the other hand, a worthless tree bearing good fruit.

For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them 'Go,' he goes, and to another 'Come,' he comes, and to my slave 'Do this,' he does it."

"There were two people who were in debt to a money-lender; one owed fifty pounds, and the other five.

And Joanna (the wife of Herod's steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others--all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.

Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.

Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.

Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return." After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: "Let him who has ears to hear with hear."

"To you," he said, "the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that 'though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.'

Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old Prophets had risen again.

"John the Baptist," was their answer; "others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old Prophets has risen again."

After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his Messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.

And suppose that the other should answer from inside 'Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything';

While others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.

But, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.

Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first."

Whenever they take you before the Synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defense will be, or what you will say;

And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?

"Do you suppose," replied Jesus, "that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?

Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?

And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.

No servant can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.

On that night, I tell you, of two men upon the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;

Of two women grinding together, one will be taken and the other left."

"Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.

The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way--'O God, I thank thee that I am not like other men-- thieves, rogues, adulterers--or even like this tax-gatherer.

This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, while every one who humbles himself shall be exalted."

You know the commandments--'Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor thy father and thy mother.'"

He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others." "Heaven forbid!" they exclaimed when they heard it.

But, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married,
