And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits; and the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, and stoned another.

And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him. Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen? They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says, Have you not read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I say unto you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. OMITTED TEXT

Jesus says, Have you not read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I say unto you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.

therefore when you may do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be glorified by the people: truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward. But thou doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: in order that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who sees in secret will reward thee openly. read more.
And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites: because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, in order that they may appear unto the people. Truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward. But when thou mayest pray, enter into thy closet, and having closed thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will reward thee openly. And praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think they shall be heard in their much speaking. Therefore be not like unto them: for your Father knows of what things you have need, before you ask him.

For God commanded saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die with death. But you say, Whosoever may say to father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me; and he shall no longer honor his father or his mother. You made void the commandment of God by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

And He responding said to them, It being evening, you say, It will be fair weather: because the sky is red: and in the morning, It will be stormy to-day: for the lowering sky is red: ye hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the sky: but are you not able to discern the signs of the times? read more.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. And no sign shall be given it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah. And leaving them, He departed. His disciples having come to the other side forgot to take bread. And Jesus said to them; See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, That it is because we did not take bread. And Jesus knowing said to them, Why do you reason among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because you did not take bread?

And He was casting out a demon, and he was dumb: and it came to pass, the demon having gone out, the dumb spoke; and the multitudes were astonished. And certain ones of them said, He casts out the demon through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons. And others tempting, continued to seek with Him a sign from heaven. read more.
And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, comes to desolation, and house falls upon house. And if Satan were indeed divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I am casting out demons through Beelzebul. But if I through Beelzebul cast out the demons, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges: but if I through the finger of God cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. When the strong man armed may keep his palace, his goods are in peace: but when one stronger than he, having come, may conquer him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. The one not being with me is against me; and the one not gathering with me scatters abroad. When the unclean spirit may go out from the man, he goes through dry places; seeking rest, and finding none, he says, I will return into my own house, whence I came out. And having come he finds it swept and beautified. Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and having come in he dwells there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. And it came to pass, while He is speaking these words, a certain woman lifting up her voice from the crowd, said to Him, Blessed is the womb having borne thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck. And He said, Truly blessed are those hearing the word of God, and keeping it. And the multitudes being assembled, He began to say, This is a wicked generation: it seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be a sign to this generation. The queen of the south will rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn them; because she came from the uttermost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here. No one, having lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, nor under a bushel, but on a candlestick, in order that those coming in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye may be clear, truly thy whole body is lighted; but when it may be had, truly thy body is dark. See then that the light which is in thee is not darkness. If then thy whole body is lighted, having no part dark, all will be lighted, as when a lamp may light thee with its brightness. And while He was speaking, a Pharisee asked Him, that He would dine with him: and having come in, He sat up at the table. And the Pharisee seeing, was astonished because He was not first baptized before dinner. And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees purify the outside of the cup and the plate, but the interior is full of extortion and wickedness. Ye fools, did not the One having made the outside also make the inside? Therefore give alms of your substance; and behold all things are pure unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees! because you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and you pass by judgment and the love of God: it behooveth to do these things, and not to omit those. Woe unto you, Pharisees! because you love the front seat in the synagogues, and salutations in the forums. Woe unto you! because you are like tombs unseen, and men walking over them do not know it. And a certain one of the theologians responding says to Him, Teacher, speaking these things yon indeed insult us. And He said, Woe unto you, theologians! because you lay burdens on the people difficult to be borne, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe unto you! because you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Therefore you are witnesses and you consent unto the works of your fathers: because they slew them, and you build. Therefore the wisdom of God said, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will slay and persecute. In order that the blood of all the prophets poured out from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. Woe unto you, theologians! because you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not come in, and you prohibited those who were coming in. And He having come out from thence, the scribes and Pharisees began vehemently to press on Him, and mouth after Him concerning many things; laying in wait, to catch something from His mouth.

And having found it, places it on his shoulders, rejoicing: and having come into the house, calls together the friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you that so there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, rather than ninety and nine just persons who have not need of repentance.
