Jesus Christ » History of » Dines with a pharisee on the sabbath (in peraea)
And it was in his coining into the house of a certain of the Pharisees in the sabbath to eat bread, and they were observing him narrowly. And, behold, a certain dropsical man was before him. And Jesus having answered, said to those skilled in the law and the Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbath? read more.
And they were silent. And having taken, he healed, and loosed him. And having answered, he said to them, Whose ass or ox of yours shall fall into a well, and will he not quickly pull it out on the sabbath day? And they were not able to answer him in turn to these things. And he spake a parable to the called, fixing his attention how they chose out the first places at table; saying to them, When thou art called to the nuptials, thou shouldest not recline in the first place at table; lest a more honourable than thou be called by him: And he having called thee and him, having come, shall say to thee, Give place to this; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take possession of the last place. But when thou art called, having gone, recline in the last place; that when he having called thee come, might say to thee, Friend, mount up higher; then shall honour be to thee beore them reclining with thee. For whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be exalted. And he also said to him having called him, When thou makest a breakfast or supper, call not thy friends, nor thy rich neighbors, nor thy brethren; lest they call thee in return, and a giving back be to thee. But when thou makest an entertainment, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And happy shalt thou be; for they have not to give back to thee: for it shall be given back to thee at the rising up of the just. And a certain of them having reclined together, having heard these things, said to him, Happy he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Kingdom of God » What the kingdom of God is likened to
And they hearing these things, having added, he spake a parable, for he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that immediately the kingdom of God is about to be rendered visible. Then he said, A certain honourable man went into a country far off to take unto himself a kingdom, and to return. And having called his ten servants, he gave them ten coins, and said to them, Attend to business, till I come. read more.
And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us. And it was in his coming back, having received the kingdom, and he spake to have these servants called to him, to whom he gave the silver, that he might know who had attended to any business. And the first approached, saying, Lord, thy coin has gained ten coins. And he said to him, Well, good servant: because thou west faithful in the least, be thou having power over ten cities. And the second came saying, Lord, thy coin made five coins. And he said to him, And be thou over five cities. And another came saying, Lord, behold, thy coin which I have placed in a napkin: For I feared thee, for thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and thou reapest what thou didst not sow. And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not: And wherefore gavest thou not my silver to the bankers, and I having come had received it with interest? And to those standing by he said, Take away from him the coin, and give to him having the ten coins. (And they said to him, Lord, he has ten coins.) For I say to you, That to every one having shall be given; and from him not having, and what he has shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

For the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, master of a house, who went out as soon as morning to hire workmen for his vineyard. And having agreed for a drachma a day, he sent them to his vineyard. And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market-place, read more.
And he says to them, Retire ye also into the vineyard, and whatever should be just I will give you: and they departed. Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. And about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why stand ye here idle the whole day? They say to him, That none has hired us. He says to them, Retire also to the vineyard; and whatever be just, ye shall receive. And it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen, and give back to them the wages, beginning from the last even to the first. And they of the eleventh hour having come, thereupon received a drachma. And the first, having come, thought that they will receive more; and they also received thereupon a drachma. And having received, they murmured against the master of the house, Saying, That these last worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, having borne the burden and heat of the day. And he, having answered, said to one of them, Friend, I injure thee not; didst not thou agree with me for a drachma? Take thine and retire: and I will to give to this last, as also to thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my things? Or is thine eye evil because I am good So shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few chosen.

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was made like a man sowing good seed in his field: And in men's sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away. And when the grass sprouted up and made fruit, then appeared the tares also. read more.
And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares? And he said to them, A man, an enemy, has done this: and his servants said to him, Wilt thou therefore we, having departed, should gather them And he said, No; lest gathering the tares, ye root up the wheat together with them. Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a kernel of mustard, which a man taking, sowed in his field: Which truly is less than all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than vegetables, and becomes a tree, so that the flying things of heaven come and lodge in its young shoots. Another parable spake he to them; The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of wheaten flour, till the whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus in parables to the crowds; and without a parable spake he not to them. So that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up; saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things having been hid from the foundation of the world. Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man: And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; And the enemy having sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the end of time; and the reapers are the messengers. As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time. The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a wholesale merchant, seeking beautiful pearls: Who, finding one pearl of great value, having departed, he sold all things which he had, and purchased it. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a large sweep-net, cast into the sea, and having gathered of every kind: Which, when it was filled, having raised up upon the shore, and having set down, they gathered the good things into vessels, and the rotten things they cast without. So shall it be in the end of time; the messengers shall come forth, and separate the evil from the midst of the just, And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these? They say to him, Yes, Lord. And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old.
And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares? And he said to them, A man, an enemy, has done this: and his servants said to him, Wilt thou therefore we, having departed, should gather them And he said, No; lest gathering the tares, ye root up the wheat together with them. Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a kernel of mustard, which a man taking, sowed in his field: Which truly is less than all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than vegetables, and becomes a tree, so that the flying things of heaven come and lodge in its young shoots. Another parable spake he to them; The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of wheaten flour, till the whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus in parables to the crowds; and without a parable spake he not to them. So that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up; saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things having been hid from the foundation of the world. Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man: And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; And the enemy having sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the end of time; and the reapers are the messengers. As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time. The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field.

And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old.
Therefore the kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, the king, who wished to lift up the word together with his servants. And he having begun to settle accounts, one was brought him, a debtor of ten thousand talents. And he not having to give back, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children, and all which he had also to be given back. read more.
Then the servant, having fallen, worshipped him, saying, Lord, be slow to anger towards me, and I will give back all to thee. And the lord of that servant, having felt compassion, loosed him, and let go to him the money lent. But that servant having come, found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred drachmas, and having seized, he choked him, saying, Give back to me what thou owest. Then his fellow-servant having fallen at his feet besought him, saying, Be slow to anger towards me, and I will give back all to thee. . And he would not; but having departed he cast him into prison till he should give back that being owed. And his fellow-servants having seen the thing done, were greatly grieved, and having come, made known to their lord all things done. Then his lord, having called him, said unto him, O thou evil servant, I let go to you all that debt since thou besoughtest me: Oughtest thou not also to pity thy fellow-servant, as I also pitied thee And his lord having become angry, delivered him to the torturers even till he should give back all being owed to him. So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if ye let not go each to his brother from your hearts their falls.

And a certain of them having reclined together, having heard these things, said to him, Happy he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and called many; And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to the called, Come; for all things are already prepared. read more.
And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come. And approaching, that servant announced to his lord these things. Then the master of the house, angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the streets and quarters of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as thou hest commanded, and yet there is place. And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and hedges, and compel to come in, that my house may be filled up. For I say to you, That none of those men called shall taste of my supper.

Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who having taken their lanterns, went forth to the meeting of the bridegroom. And five of them were discerning, and five foolish. Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them. read more.
And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns. And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept. And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting. Then all these virgins were aroused, and put their lanterns in order. And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched. And the discerning answered, saying, Lest it should not suffice us and you: but go ye rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves. And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked. And afterwards came also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. And he having answered said, Truly I say to you, I know you not. Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day, neither the hour, in which the Son of man comes. For as a man going abroad, called his own servants, and delivered them his possessions: And to one he truly gave five talents, and to one, two, and to one, one; to each according to his own power; and he quickly went abroad. And he having received five talents, having gone, worked with them, and he made other five talents. Likewise he having the two also, gained he also other two. And he having received one, having departed, dug in the earth, and concealed his lord's silver. And after much time the lord of these servants comes, and lifts up the word with them. And he having received the five talents, having come near, brought the other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst me five talents: and I have gained other five talents. And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant: thou west faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. And he also having received the two talents, having come near said, Lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; see, I gained two other talents to them. His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not: And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own. And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not: Thou therefore oughtest to have cast my silver to the money changers, and I having come, had received mine own, with interest Therefore take the talent away from him, and give him having ten talents. For to every one having shall be given, and he shall be in abundance: and from him not having, also what he has shall be taken away from him. And cast ye the useless servant into darkness without; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made a nuptial feast for his son. And he sent his servants to those having been called to the nuptial feast: and they would not come. And again, he sent other servants, saying, Say to the called: Behold, I have prepared my supper; my bulls and stall-fed killed, and all prepared: come to the nuptials. read more.
And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic: And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them. And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then says he to his servants, Truly the nuptial feast is prepared, and those called were not worthy. Go ye, therefore, to the passages of the ways, and as many as ye should find, call to the nuptial feast. And those servants, having come to the ways, gathered together all, as many as they found, also both the evil and good, and the nuptial feast was filled with the reclining. And the king, having come in to behold the reclining, saw there a man not clad with the garment of the wedding: And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled. Then said the king to his servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him away, and cast ye him into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, and few chosen.

And he said to them, Much less the light comes that it be set under a bushel, or under a bed; that it be not set upon a candlestick. For not anything is hid, which should not be manifested; neither was concealed, but that it should come clear. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear. read more.
And he said to them, See ye how ye hear: with what measure ye measure, shall be measured to you: and to you hearing, shall be added. For whoever should have, to him shall be given: and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him. And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; And he sleep, and should rise night and day, and the seed should sprout, and be raised; how, he knows not. For the earth bears fruit spontaneously; first the grass, then the ear, then the full wheat in the ear. But when the fruit should yield, quickly he sends the sickle, for the harvest is brought forward. And he said, To what should we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable should we hold it forth? As a kernel of mustard, which, when it be sown in the earth, is smaller than all seeds upon the earth: And when it be sown, it comes up and is greater than all vegetables, and makes great young shoots; so that the flying things of heaven can encamp under its shadow. And with many such parables spake he the word to them, as they were able to hear. And without a parable spake he not to them: and apart, he solved all to his disciples.

Then he said, A certain honourable man went into a country far off to take unto himself a kingdom, and to return. And having called his ten servants, he gave them ten coins, and said to them, Attend to business, till I come. And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us. read more.
And it was in his coming back, having received the kingdom, and he spake to have these servants called to him, to whom he gave the silver, that he might know who had attended to any business. And the first approached, saying, Lord, thy coin has gained ten coins. And he said to him, Well, good servant: because thou west faithful in the least, be thou having power over ten cities. And the second came saying, Lord, thy coin made five coins. And he said to him, And be thou over five cities. And another came saying, Lord, behold, thy coin which I have placed in a napkin: For I feared thee, for thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and thou reapest what thou didst not sow. And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not: And wherefore gavest thou not my silver to the bankers, and I having come had received it with interest? And to those standing by he said, Take away from him the coin, and give to him having the ten coins. (And they said to him, Lord, he has ten coins.) For I say to you, That to every one having shall be given; and from him not having, and what he has shall be taken away from him.
