And, ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers! Serpents! broods of vipers! how should ye flee from the judgment of gehenna? For this cause, lo! I, send unto you, prophets and wise men and scribes, - some from among them, ye will slay and crucify, And some from among them ye will - scourge in your synagogues, and pursue from city to city: That there may come upon you - all righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the Temple and the altar.

Alas for you! because ye are as the secret tombs: even the men that are walking above them, know it not. And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult! And, he, said - And, for you, the lawyers, alas! because ye lade men with burdens hard to be borne, and, yourselves, with one of your fingers, touch not the burdens. Alas for you! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slew them! Hence, witnesses, are ye, and find consenting pleasure in the works of your fathers: because, they, indeed, slew them, and, ye, are building, their tombs . For this cause, the Wisdom of God hath said - I will send forth, unto them, prophets and apostles, - and, some from among them, will they slay, and, some persecute: That the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from this generation, - From the blood of Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah who was destroyed betwixt the altar and the house; Yea! I say unto you - It shall be sought out from this generation. Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered.

And, he, said unto him - Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write - Fifty! After that, unto another, he said - And how much owest, thou? And, he, said - A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him - Kindly take thine accounts, and write - Eighty! And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: - Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. And, I, unto you, say - For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age-abiding tents. The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous. If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust? And, if, in what was another's, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you? No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches. Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him. And he said unto them - Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.

And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: - Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector. The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, - extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;read more.
I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain! But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, - would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying - O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner! I tell you - This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

And, when, from thence, he came out, the Scribes and the Pharisees began, with vehemence, to be hemming him in, and trying to make him speak off-hand concerning many things, - lying in wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.

And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic, - Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins. And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves, - This man, speaketh profanely! And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said, - To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts?read more.
For which is easier - To say, Forgiven are thy sins, - or to say, Rise and be walking! But, that ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic, - Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house. And, rising, he departed unto his house.

and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four, - and, not being able to get near him by reason of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they began letting down the couch whereon the paralytic was lying; and, Jesus, seeing their faith, saith unto the paralytic - Child! forgiven are thy sins!read more.
Now there were certain of the Scribes there, sitting and deliberating in their hearts, - Why doth, this, man thus talk? he is speaking profanely! Who can forgive sins, save one, God? And Jesus, straightway, taking note in his spirit, that thusthey are deliberating within themselves, saith unto them- Why, these things, are ye deliberating in your hearts? Which is easier - to say unto the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and be walking? But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic: To thee, I say, Rise, take up thy couch, and be going thy way unto thy house. And he arose, and, straightway taking up the couch, went forth before all, - so that all were beside themselves and were glorifying God, saying- Thus, we never saw it!

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that, he, was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees and Teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem; and, the power of the Lord, was there, that he might heal. And lo! men bearing, upon a couch, one who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in, and lay him before him. And, not finding by what means they might bring him in, because of the multitude, going up on the house-top, through the tiling, let they him down, with the little-couch, into the midst before Jesus.read more.
And, beholding their faith, he said - O man! thy sins are forgiven thee. And the Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying - Who is this that speaketh profanities? Who can forgive, sins, save, God alone? And Jesus, taking note of their reasonings, answering, said unto them - Why are ye reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, To say - Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say - Arise and be walking? But, that ye may know that, the Son of Man, hath, authority, upon the earth to forgive sins - he said to the paralyzed man - To thee, I say, Arise, and, taking up thy couch, be going thy way unto thy house. And, instantly arising before them, he took up that whereon he had been lying, and departed unto his house, glorifying God. And, astonishment, seized one and all, and they began glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying - We have seen unaccountable things, to-day!

And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that 1o! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples. And, the Pharisees, observing it, began to say unto his disciples, - Wherefore, with tax-collectors and sinners, doth your Teacher eat? And, he, hearing it, said, - No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick.read more.
But go ye, and learn what this meaneth, - Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.

And it cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began following him. And the Scribes and Pharisees, seeing that he was eating with the sinners and the tax-collectors, began saying unto his disciples - With the tax-collectors and sinners, is he eating? And, hearing it, Jesus saith unto them - No need, have the strong of a physician, but they who are sick, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

And Levi made a great reception for him, in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-collectors, and others, - who were with them reclining. And the Pharisees and their Scribes began murmuring unto his disciples, saying - Wherefore, with the tax-collectors and sinners, are ye eating and drinking? And, answering, Jesus said unto them - No need, have, the whole, of a physician, but, they who are sick.read more.
I have not come to call, righteous, men, but, sinners, unto repentance.

And, as, they, were going forth, lo! there was brought to him, a dumb man, demonized. And, the demon being cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled, saying, - Never, was it seen thus, in Israel. But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons.

Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb, - and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see. And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David? But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the demons.

And, the Scribes who from Jerusalem had come down, were saying - He hath, Beelzebul; and - In the ruler of the demons, casteth he out the demons.

In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields, - and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat. But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.

And it came to pass, that he, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn. And, the Pharisees, were saying, - See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?

And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, that he was passing along through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the ears of corn, rubbing them with their hands. But, certain of the Pharisees, said - Why are ye doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?

Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth, - that they might find whereof to accuse him.

They bring him unto the Pharisees - him at one time blind. Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes. Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them - Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed, - and do see.read more.
Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying - This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, howeverwere saying - How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.

And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined. And, 1o! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume, and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off the tears , and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.read more.
But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.

But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him; and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.

And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen; saying - Blessed is he that cometh -- The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest! And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him - Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.read more.
And he answered and said - I tell you - If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.

The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him - Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true.

And Jesus said - For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind. They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him - Are, we also, blind? Jesus said unto them - If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.

And, the Pharisees, going out straightway with the Herodians, were giving counsel against him, that they should, destroy, him.

And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.

But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.

And the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking. And, seeking to secure him, they feared the multitudes; since, for a prophet, were they holding him.

And they were seeking, to secure, him, - and were in fear of the multitude; for they perceived that, against them, the parable he had spoken. And, leaving him, they departed.

And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.

And they send forth unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might, catch, him, in discourse.

And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
