Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned.read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them.

And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.

And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard. Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner: This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes?

And he began to say to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to farmers, and went abroad sufficient time.

And he added to send another servant: and they also having skinned and dishonoured him, sent forth empty.read more.
And he added to send a third; and also, having wounded, they cast him out. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do I will send my dearly beloved son: perhaps, having seen him, they will change. And the farmers having seen him, reasoned to themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance be ours. And having cast him without the vineyard, they killed. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He shall come and destroy these farmers, and give the vineyard to others. And having heard, they said, It may not be. And having looked upon them, he said, What then is this written, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this has been for the head of the corner? Every one having fallen upon that stone shall be crushed, and upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him.

Then spake Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, Saying, Upon Moses' seat sat the scribes and Pharisees. Therefore all whatever they say to you to keep, keep and do; and according to their works do not, for they say and do not.read more.
For they bind loads heavy and difficult to carry, and put upon men's shoulders; and with their fingers will they not move them. And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies, And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. And be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your guide, Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call not your father upon earth: for one is your Father, which in the heavens. Nor be ye called leaders, for one is your Leader, Christ. And the greater of you shall be your servant. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself, shall be exalted. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for pretence, praying at great lengths; for this shall ye receive more distingnished judgment. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! for ye go about sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he should become, ye make him the son of hell, twofold more than you. Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted! Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold? And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted. Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts? Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it. And he having sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him dwelling in it. And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those. Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture. O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness. So also ye without truly appear just to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets, Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets. And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers. Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell? Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city, So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar. Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation.

And he said to them in his teaching, Look from the scribes, wishing to walk in robes, and greetings in market-places, And first seats in synagogues, and first place at tables in first meals: They eating in widows' houses, and praying long for a pretext: these shall receive more abundant judgment.

And all the people hearing, he said to his disciples, Hold from the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving greetings in the markets, and precedencies in assemblies, and the first places at tables at suppers; Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence pray at great length; these shall receive more abundant judgment.

And in the speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him: and having come in he reclined. And the Pharisee having seen, wondered that he was not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and trencher; and your inside is full of plunder and wickedness.read more.
O foolish, has not he having made the outside, also made the inside? But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as concealed tombs, and men walking above know not. And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered.

And he said to his disciples, A certain man was rich, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as dispersing his goods. And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear of thee give back the word of thy stewardship; for thou canst no more be steward. And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away the stewardship from me: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.read more.
I have resolved what I will do, that, when I should be removed from the stewardship, they might receive me in their houses. And having called upon each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord And he said, An hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thou thy book, and having quickly sat down, write fifty. Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy book, and write eighty. And the Lord praised the steward of injustice, because he did wisely: for the sons of this life are wiser than the children of light in their generation. And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of injustice; that, when ye fail, they might receive you into lasting tents. He faithful in the least, is also faithful in much: and he unjust in the least, is also unjust in much. If therefore ye were not faithful in the unjust mammon, who shall trust to you the true? And if ye were not faithful with another, who shall give you your own? No servant can serve two lords: for he will either hate one, and love the other; or he will hold firmly to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. And the Pharisees heard all these things, being avaricious: and they derided him. And he said to them, Ye are they justifying yourselves before men; and God knows your hearts: for the high with men is abomination before God.

And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable: Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican.read more.
I fast twice of the Sabbath; I pay tithes of all I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee. And behold, certain of the scribes said in themselves, This defames. And Jesus seeing their reflections, said, Why reflect ye within your hearts?read more.
For why is it easier to say, Sins are let go to thee; or say, Arise and walk? But that ye might know that the Son of man has power upon earth to let go sins, (then he says to the paralytic), Having risen, take up thy bed and retire to thy house. And having risen, he went away into his house.

And they come to him, bringing a paralytic, lifted up by four. And not being able to draw near to him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was and having excavated, they let down his couch upon which the paralytic was laid.
