But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;

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

who stood at a distance, and lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus master, have pity on us.

And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

Then Jesus said to the one [who had returned], "Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well."

In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:

There was a [desperate] widow in that city and she kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice and legal protection from my adversary.’

And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?

And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:

The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

but the Publican, who stood a good way lower, not daring to lift up even his eyes to heaven, only smote his breast, and said, O God, be merciful to me, who am a sinner.

I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that other. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

Now people were even bringing their babies to him for him to touch. But when the disciples saw it, they began to scold those who brought them.

Jesus however called the infants to Him. "Let the little children come to me," He said; "do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.

A certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher [You who are essentially and morally good], what shall I do to inherit eternal life [that is, eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?”

Jesus replied, why do you call me good? there is but one who is good, that is God.

But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;

It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

for he shall be delivered to the Gentiles by the Jews, who will treat him with mockery,

And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

who hearing the noise of a crowd passing by, ask'd what the matter was.

And those who were going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

then Jesus stopp'd, and order'd them to bring the man to him, who being come nigh, he ask'd him,

Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.

And he entered and passed through Jericho. And behold a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief of the publicans.

There was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, who was going to pass that way.

When the people saw it, they all began muttering [in discontent], “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a [notorious] sinner.”

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost."

and he called ten of his servants, to whom he deliver'd ten pounds: improve that, said he, till I return.

But the citizens [of his newly acquired kingdom] hated him and sent a delegation after him [i.e., to the person who appointed the gentleman king over them], saying, 'We do not want this man to rule over us.'

And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

for I was in fear of you, knowing you to be a hard master, who exact what you never gave, and reap where you have never sown.

And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give it to him who has the ten minas.

They said to him, 'He has two hundred, sir!'??26 'I tell you, the man who has will have more given him, and from the man who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away!

[Jesus explained,] ‘I tell you that to everyone who has [because he valued his gifts from God and has used them wisely], more will be given; but from the one who does not have [because he disregarded his gifts from God], even what he has will be taken away.’

Moreover those mine enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

So those who were sent left and found the colt just as He had told them.

saying, 'blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

upon this some of the Pharisees, who were in the crowd, said to him, master, rebuke your disciples.

They will level you to the ground you and those who live within your city limits. They will not leave one stone on another within your walls, because you didn't recognize the time when you were visited."

Jesus went into the temple [enclosure] and began driving out those who were selling,

And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

Then they answered Jesus that they did not know [who authorized John's immersion].

Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. "There was a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable time.

he still sent a third, whom they wounded and drove away.

"Then the owner of the vineyard said, "What should I do? I'll send my son whom I love. Maybe they'll respect him.'

But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others." Those who heard him said, "That must never happen!"

But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?

every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'

And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him,

demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.

and the third, married her; as also the seven did who died but left no child.

Jesus told them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are married,

but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

So, He is not God to those who are dead, but [He is] God to those who are alive, for to God, all people are alive."

Till I put under your feet all those who are against you.

Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;

who devour widows houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury -- rich men,

So, He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all the rest [i.e., referring to the many rich people who were also throwing in money].

And to some who were about the Temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones votive offerings, he said,

For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;

But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.

for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth.

And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

who went off to discuss with the high priests and commanders how he could betray him to them.

But listen, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

And they began to question together among themselves who then it could be of them who was about to do this.

And there happened also a strife among them -- who of them is accounted to be greater.

So he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors.

but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you -- let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;

for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I -- I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

But ye are they who have persevered with me in my temptations.

Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take it up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

Then a certain one of them struck the head priest's slave and sheared off his right ear. [Note: It was Peter who struck this man, whose name was Malchus. See John 18:10].

And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

Those who had taken Jesus prisoner took him away into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.

and sat down among some people who had lit a fire in the courtyard and were sitting round it.

A maidservant who noticed him sitting by the fire took a long look at him and said, "That fellow was with him too."

And the men who held him mocked him, beating him;

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

"Tell us if you are the Christ [i.e., God's specially chosen one]." But He replied, "You would not believe me if I [did] tell you [who I am].
