And He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge round it, and dug a wine-trough; and built a tower, and he gave it out to husbandmen, and went away.

What then shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read the Scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes?

And hearing, they said, Let it not be so. And looking upon them, He said, What is that which has been written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner.

And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands on Him at this hour, and feared the people; for they knew that He spoke this parable against them.

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and His disciples, saying, The scribes and Pharisees sat upon the seat of Moses; therefore do and keep all things so many as they may speak to you, but do not according to their works; for they say, and do not.read more.
But they bind heavy burdens, and place them on the shoulders of the people; and they themselves are not willing to touch them with their finger. And they do all their works to be seen by the people: for they broaden their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, and they love the first couch at the suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the forums, and to be called by the people, "Doctor." But be ye not called Doctor: for One is your teacher; and you are all brothers. And call no man father upon the earth: for One is your Heavenly Father. Be not called teachers: because One is your teacher, Christ. And the great of you shall be your deacon. But whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens against the people: for you do not go in, neither do you permit those coming in to enter. OMITTED TEXT Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you compass the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and when it may be done, you make him twofold more the son of hell than yourselves. Woe unto you, blind guides, who are saying, Whosoever may swear by the temple it is nothing; but whosoever may swear by the gold of the temple, he is debtor. Ye fools and blind: for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple sanctifying the gold? And, Whosoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever may swear by the gift upon it, is debtor. Ye blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift? Therefore the one swearing by the altar, swears by it, and by all things which are on it. And the one swearing by the temple, swears by it, and by Him who inhabited it. And the one swearing by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth upon it. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and pass by the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: it behooves to do these and not to neglect those. Ye blind guides, who strain out the gnat, and swallow down the camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you purify the exterior of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of extortion and impurity. Ye blind Pharisee, first purify the inside of the cup, in order that its outside may be clean. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you are like whitened sepulchers, which are beautiful indeed externally, but within they are full of the hones of the dead people, and every impurity. So you also appear unto the people indeed righteous, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and ornament the sepulchers of the righteous, and you say, If we were in the days of our fathers we would not have been their fellow-partakers in the blood of the prophets. So you witness to yourselves, that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets. And you fill up the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, generations of vipers, how can you escape from the judgment of hell? Therefore I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: you will kill and crucify some of them; and will scourge some of them in your synagogues, and will persecute them from city to city; in order that all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of the blessed, whom they slew between the temple and the altar, may come upon you. Truly I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

And He said to them in His teaching, Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and salutations in the forums, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers. They are those devouring the houses of widows, and making long prayers through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.

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.

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 also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as wasting his goods. And having called him, he said to him, What is this which I hear concerning thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou art not able to be steward any longer. And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my lord takes away my stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.read more.
I know what I shall do, in order that when I am deposed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. And calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? And he said; A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your accounts, and sitting down quickly write fifty. Then he said to another one, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your account, and write fourscore. And the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness because he acted shrewdly: because the sons of this age are wiser in their generation than the sons of the light. And I say unto you, Make unto yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, in order that, when it may fail, they may receive you into eternal tabernacles. He that is faithful in the least is also faithful in much: and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous in much. If therefore you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the true? If you were not faithful in the interest of another, who will give you your own? No servant is able to serve two masters: for he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon. And the Pharisees, being avaricious, were hearing all these things, and murmuring against Him. And He said to them, Ye are those who justify yourselves before the people; but God knows your hearts: because that which is exalted among the people is abomination in the sight of God.

And He spoke this parable to certain ones having confidence in themselves that they are righteous, and despising the rest. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee standing was praying in these words, God, I thank thee because I am not like the rest of the men, extortioners, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican:read more.
I fast twice per week; I give tithes of all things so many as I possess. But the publican, standing a great way off, did not wish even to lift up his eyes to the heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me the sinner. I say unto you, He went down to his house justified rather than the other: because every one exalting himself shall be abased; and the one humbling himself shall be exalted.

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 behold, they were bringing to Him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, child, thy sins are forgiven thee. And behold, certain ones of the scribes said among themselves; This man blasphemeth. And Jesus seeing their thoughts said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?read more.
For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or, Arise, and walk about? But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then He says to the paralytic), Having arisen, take thy bed, and depart into thy house. And having arisen, he came away to his own house.

And they come to Him, carrying a paralytic, borne by four. And not being able to come near Him on account of the crowd, they opened the roof where He was: and having lifted it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. And Jesus seeing their faith says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee.read more.
And certain ones of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why does He speak blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except the one God? And Jesus immediately knowing in His spirit that they are thus reasoning among themselves, said to them, Why do you thus reason in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take thy bed, and walk about? But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins (He says to the paralytic), I say unto thee, Arise, take thy bed, and go into thy house. And he arose immediately, and having taken the bed, went out before them all. So that all were astonished, and glorified God, saying, Never have we seen it after this sort.
