Mat 1:1 THE book of the nativity of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, son of Abraham.

Mat 1:3 Judah begat Pharez and Zara of Tamar: Pharez begat Hezron: Hezron begat Ram:
Mat 1:4 Ram begat Aminadab: Aminadab begat Nahshon: Nahshon begat Salmon:
Mat 1:5 Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab: Boaz begat Obed of Ruth: Obed begat Jesse:
Mat 1:6 Jesse begat David the king: David begat Solomon of the wife of Uriah:
Mat 1:7 Solomon begat Rehoboam: Rehoboam begat Abia: Abia begat Asa:
Mat 1:8 Asa begat Jehoshaphat: Jehoshaphat begat Joram: Joram begat Uzziah:
Mat 1:9 Uzziah begat Jotham: Jotham begat Ahaz: Ahaz begat Hezekiah:
Mat 1:10 Hezekiah begat Manasseh: Manasseh begat Amon: Amon begat Josiah:
Mat 1:11 Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers, in the captivity of Babylon.
Mat 1:12 And after the captivity of Babylon, Jeconiah begat Salathiel: Salathiel begat Zerubbabel:
Mat 1:13 Zerubbabel begat Abiud: Abiud begat Eliakim: Eliakim begat Azor:
Mat 1:14 Azor begat Zadok: Zadok begat Achim: Achim begat Eliud:
Mat 1:15 Eliud begat Eleazar: Eleazar begat Matthan: Matthan begat Jacob:
Mat 1:16 Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.
Mat 1:17 All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
Mat 1:18 And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:19 And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
Mat 1:20 And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
Mat 1:21 and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
Mat 1:24 And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
Mat 1:25 And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came Magi from the east unto Jerusalem,
Mat 2:2 saying: Where is the king of the Jews that is born ? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
Mat 2:3 And Herod the king heard, and he was disturbed; and all Jerusalem with him.
Mat 2:4 And he assembled all the chiefs of the priests and the scribes of the people, and inquired of them, Where is the birthplace of the Messiah ?
Mat 2:5 And they said: In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written in the prophet:
Mat 2:6 Thou also, Bethlehem of Judaea, art not the little among the kings of Judaea, for a king shall come from thee who shall rule my people Israel.
Mat 2:7 Then Herod privately called the Magi, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them.
Mat 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said to them, Go, search diligently for the child; and when ye have found him, come and tell me, that I also may go and worship him.
Mat 2:9 And they, when they had heard from the king, went forward: and lo, the star they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
Mat 2:10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced much, with great joy.
Mat 2:11 And they entered the house; and they saw the child, with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him: and they opened their treasures, and presented to him gifts, gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Mat 2:12 And it was shown them in a dream, that they should not return to Herod. And by another way, they returned to their country.
Mat 2:13 And when they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt; and be thou there, until I tell thee: for Herod will seek for the child, to destroy it.
Mat 2:14 Then Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and fled to Egypt.
Mat 2:15 And he was there, until the death of Herod; that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, From Egypt have I called my son.
Mat 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magi, was very angry. And he sent and slew all the children in Bethlehem, and in all its confines, from a child of two years and under, according to the time that he had carefully learned from the Magi.
Mat 2:17 Then was that fulfilled, which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Mat 2:18 A voice was heard in Rama, weeping and great lamentation; Rachel bemoaning her children , and unwilling to be comforted, because they are no more.
Mat 2:19 But when king Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Mat 2:20 and said to him: Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead who sought the life of the child.
Mat 2:21 And Joseph arose, and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
Mat 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus was king in Judaea, instead of his father Herod, he feared to go thither. And it was revealed to him in a dream, that he should go into the land of Galilee.
Mat 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city that is called Nazareth : that so might be fulfilled that which was said by the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene.
Mat 3:1 And in those days came John the Baptizer. And he proclaimed in the desert of Judaea,
Mat 3:2 and said: Repent; the kingdom of heaven hath approached.
Mat 3:3 For this is he of whom it was said, by Isaiah the prophet: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make smooth his paths.
Mat 3:4 And as to this John, his raiment was of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin was upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Mat 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country about the Jordan.
Mat 3:6 And they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, while they confessed their sins.
Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, who came to be baptized, he said to them: Generation of vipers, who hath taught you to flee from the wrath that cometh ?
Mat 3:8 Bring forth the fruits therefore, that accord with repentance.
Mat 3:9 And do not think, and say within yourselves, that Abraham is our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these tones to raise up children to Abraham.
Mat 3:10 And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree, therefore, which beareth not good fruit, is felled, and falleth into the fire.
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh after me is more powerful than I; whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mat 3:12 His winnowing shovel is in his hand; and he will make clean his threshing-floor. The wheat he will gather into his storehouse; and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished.
Mat 3:13 Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him.
Mat 3:14 But John refused him; and said, I need to be baptized by thee, and hast thou come to me ?
Mat 3:15 And Jesus answered, and said to him: Allow it now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permitted him.
Mat 3:16 And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water. And heaven was opened to him; and he saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove, and it came upon him.
Mat 3:17 And lo, a voice from heaven, which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the Calumniator
Mat 4:2 And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he hungered.
Mat 4:3 And the Tempter came, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.
Mat 4:4 But he replied, and said: It is written, that not by bread only, doth man live; but by every word proceeding from the mouth of God.
Mat 4:5 Then the Calumniator took him to the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, that he will give his angels charge of thee, and in their hands will they sustain thee, lest thou strike thy foot against a stone.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him: It is moreover written, that thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Mat 4:8 Again the Calumniator took him to a mountain that was very high, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
Mat 4:9 and said to him: All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan ; for it is written, that thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God; and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11 Then the Calumniator left him: and lo, angels came, and ministered to him.
Mat 4:12 And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired to Galilee.
Mat 4:13 And he left Nazareth, and came and dwelt in Capernaum, by the side of the sea, on the confines of Zebulon and Naphthali.
Mat 4:14 That so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said:
Mat 4:15 The land of Zebulon, the land of Naphthali, the way of the sea, the ford of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Mat 4:16 the people that sat in darkness, have seen great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is arisen.
Mat 4:17 From that time began Jesus to proclaim and say: Repent; for the kingdom of heaven hath approached.
Mat 4:18 And as he walked on the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Cephas, and Andrew his brother, who were casting nets into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Mat 4:19 And Jesus said to them: Follow me; and I will cause you to become fishers of men.
Mat 4:20 And immediately, they left their nets, and went after him.
Mat 4:21 And as he passed on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, who were mending their nets. And Jesus called them.
Mat 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and went after him.
Mat 4:23 And Jesus traveled over all Galilee. and he taught in their synagogues and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom; and he cured every disease and malady among the people.
Mat 4:24 And his fame spread through all Syria. And they brought to him all them that were very sick with diverse diseases, and them that were afflicted with pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics and paralytics; and he healed them.
Mat 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.
Mat 5:1 And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he ascended a hill; and when he was seated, his disciples drew near him:
Mat 5:2 and he opened his mouth, and taught them, and said:
Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
Mat 5:4 Blessed are the mourners: for they shall be comforted!
Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth!
Mat 5:6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be satiated!
Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for on them shall be mercies!
Mat 5:8 Blessed are the clean in heart: for they shall behold God !
Mat 5:9 Blessed are the cultivators of peace: for they shall be called sons of God !
Mat 5:10 Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when they revile you and persecute you, and speak every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.
Mat 5:12 At that time, rejoice and be glad: for your reward in heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
Mat 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth! But if the salt become insipid, with what shall it be seasoned ? It is fit for nothing; but to be thrown out, and be trodden under foot by men.
Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world! A city built upon a hill, not be concealed.
Mat 5:15 And they do not light a lamp and place it under a bushel; but upon a lightstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Mat 5:17 Do not suppose that I have come to subvert the law or the prophets: [I have come] not to subvert, but to fulfill.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say to you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one iota or one letter shall not pass from the law, until all shall be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Therefore whoever shall break one of these small commands and shall so inculcate on the children of men, shall be called little in the kingdom of heaven: but every one that shall do and teach [them], shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness shall abound more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill: and every one that killeth, is obnoxious to judgment.
Mat 5:22 But I say to you, That every one who is angry with his brother rashly, is obnoxious to judgment: and every one that saith to his brother, Raka! is obnoxious to the council : and every one that shall say, Fool is obnoxious to hell-fire.
Mat 5:23 If therefore thou shalt bring thy oblation to the altar, and shalt there remember that thy brother hath any offence against thee,
Mat 5:24 leave there thy oblation before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with thy brother; and then come and present thy oblation.
Mat 5:25 Be at agreement with thy prosecutor, forthwith, and while on the way with him; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the Judge deliver thee over to the sheriff, and thou fall into the house of prisoners.
Mat 5:26 Verily I say to thee, Thou wilt not come out from there until thou hast paid the last farthing.
Mat 5:27 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Mat 5:28 But I say to you, That whoever gazeth on a woman with concupiscence, at once committeth adultery with her in his heart.
Mat 5:29 If therefore thy right eye make thee offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that thy one member perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell.
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand make thee offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell.
Mat 5:31 It hath been said, That if a man will put away his wife, he must give her a writing of divorcement.
Mat 5:32 But I say to you, That whoever putteth away his wife, except for the offence of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and he that taketh the divorced woman, committeth adultery.
Mat 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not be false in thy oaths; but thou shalt perform thine oaths to the Lord.
Mat 5:34 But I say to you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of God:
Mat 5:35 and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet: and likewise not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.
Mat 5:36 Moreover, thou shalt not swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair in it either black or white.
Mat 5:37 But let your language be, Yes, yes; or No, no; for whatever is beyond these proceedeth from evil.
Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
Mat 5:39 But I say to you: Resist not evil; but if a person smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:40 And if one is disposed to sue thee and get away thy coat, relinquish to him also thy cloak.
Mat 5:41 Whoever compelleth thee to go one mile, go with him two.
Mat 5:42 Whoever demandeth of thee, give to him: and whoever wisheth to borrow of thee, deny him not.
Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say to you: Love your enemies; and bless him that curseth you; and do good to him that hateth you; and pray for them that lead you in bonds, and that persecute you:
Mat 5:45 that ye may be the children of your Father that is in heaven, who causeth his sun to rise upon the good and upon the bad, and sendeth his rain upon the righteous and upon the unrighteous.
Mat 5:46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans do this?
Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that is not common? Do not even publicans do this?
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect; even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
Mat 6:1 Be cautious in your alms-giving, not to perform it before men, so that ye may be seen of them: otherwise, ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Mat 6:2 Therefore, when thou doest alms thou shalt not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get praise from men. Verily I say to you, They have gotten their reward.
Mat 6:3 But thou, when doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Mat 6:4 that thy alms may be in secret. And thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.
Mat 6:5 And when thou prayest. thou shalt not be like the hypocrites, who are fond of standing up in the synagogues and at the corners of streets to pray, so that they may be seen by people. Verily I say to you, they have gotten their reward.
Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest enter into thy closet and close the door, and pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.
Mat 6:7 And when ye pray, be not garrulous like the heathen; for they expect to be heard for their abundance of words.
Mat 6:8 Therefore, be not like them; for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before ye ask him.
Mat 6:9 In this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name:
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done; as in heaven, so on earth:
Mat 6:11 Give us our needful bread, this day:
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors:
Mat 6:13 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever: Amen.
Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their faults, your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you.
Mat 6:15 But if ye shall not forgive men, your Father also forgiveth not you your faults.
Mat 6:16 And when ye fast, be not sad like the hypocrites. For they distort their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say to you, they have gotten their reward.
Mat 6:17 But, when thou fastest, wash thou thy face, and anoint thy head:
Mat 6:18 that thou mayest not be seen by men as a faster, but by thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will recompense thee.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves dig through and steal.
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where no moth and no rust can spoil, and no thieves dig through nor steal.
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart also be.
Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore thy eye shall be sound, thy whole body will be luminous.
Mat 6:23 But if thy eye shall be diseased, thy whole body will be dark. If then the light that is in thee be darkness, how great will be thy darkness !
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say to you: Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; nor about your body, how ye shall clothe yourselves. Is not the life more important than food, and the body than raiment ?
Mat 6:26 Look at the birds of heaven; which sow not, and reap not, and gather not into storehouses, but your Father who is in heaven feedeth them. Are not ye more important than they ?
Mat 6:27 And who of you that shall be anxious, can add to his stature a cubit ?
Mat 6:28 And about raiment, why are ye anxious? Consider the lilies of the desert, in what manner they grow. They toil not; and they spin not.
Mat 6:29 Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was arrayed like one of them.
Mat 6:30 And if God so clothe the grass of the field, which exists to-day, and tomorrow falls into the oven, will he not much more [clothe] you, ye small in faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore be not anxious; nor say, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink; or wherewith be clothed?
Mat 6:32 For, all these things the people of the world seek after. And your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that all these things are needful to you.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you.
Mat 6:34 Therefore be not anxious about the morrow: for the morrow hath its own anxieties. Sufficient for the day, is its own evil.
Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mat 7:2 For with the judgment that ye judge, ye shall be judged; and by the measure that ye measure, shall it be measured to you.
Mat 7:3 And why observest thou the straw in thy brother's eye, and regardest not the beam that is in thine own eye ?
Mat 7:4 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; and lo! a beam is in thy own eye.
Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite; pluck first the beam from thy own eye; and then thou wilt see clearly, to pluck the straw out of thy brother's eye.
Mat 7:6 Give not a holy thing to dogs: and cast not your pearls before swine; lest they tread them under their feet, and turn and lacerate you.
Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
Mat 7:8 For, every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Mat 7:9 For what man is there among you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
Mat 7:10 Or if he ask of him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
Mat 7:11 If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Mat 7:12 Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you; so also do ye to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in by the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad the way which leadeth to destruction; and many are they that walk in it.
Mat 7:14 How small the gate and straitened the way that leadeth to life, and few they who find it!
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets; who come to you in the garb of sheep, but internally they are rapacious wolves.
Mat 7:16 And from their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes; or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 So every good tree beareth good fruits; but a bad tree beareth bad fruits.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruits; nor can a bad tree bear good fruits.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that beareth not good fruits, is cut down and consigned to the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 Not whoever may say to me, My Lord, my Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, My Lord, my Lord, have-we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out demons ? and in thy name wrought many works of power?
Mat 7:23 And then will I declare to them; I never knew you. Depart from me, ye doers of evil.
Mat 7:24 Every one therefore that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them, will be like to a wise man, one that built his house upon a rock.
Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew; and they rushed upon that house; and it fell not, for its foundations were laid upon a rock.
Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them not, will be like a foolish man that built his house upon sand.
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew; and they rushed upon that house, and it fell; and great was the ruin of it.
Mat 7:28 And so it was, that when Jesus had ended these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
Mat 7:29 for he taught them as one having authority; and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.
Mat 8:1 And as he descended from the mountain, great multitudes gathered around him.
Mat 8:2 And behold, a leper came and worshipped him, and said: My Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Mat 8:3 And Jesus stretched forth his hand, touched him, and said: I will: be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Mat 8:4 And Jesus said to him, See, thou tell no man: but go, show thyself to the priests, and present an oblation as Moses enjoined, for a testimony to them.
Mat 8:5 And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, and besought him,
Mat 8:6 and said: My Lord, my child lieth at home an is paralytic, and badly afflicted.
Mat 8:7 Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 The centurion replied, and said: My Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my child will be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I also am a man under authority, and there are soldiers under my hands, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this thing, and he doeth [it].
Mat 8:10 And when Jesus heard [this], he admired [it]; and he said to those walking with him, Verily I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.
Mat 8:11 And I say to you, that many shall come from the east, and from the west, and shall recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
Mat 8:12 but the children of the kingdom shall go forth into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion. Go; be it to thee as thou hast believed. And his child was cured in that same hour.
Mat 8:14 And Jesus came to the house of Simon and saw his wife's mother prostrate, confined by a fever.
Mat 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered to them.
Mat 8:16 And when it was evening, they brought many demoniacs before him; and he expelled their demons by a word, and healed all them that were diseased:
Mat 8:17 that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said: He will bear our sorrows, and our infirmities he will take upon him.
Mat 8:18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes, around him, he ordered that they should go to the site shore.
Mat 8:19 And a Scribe came and said to him: Rabbi, I will follow thee to the place whither thou goest.
Mat 8:20 Jesus said to him, For foxes there are holes, and for the birds of heaven there are nests; but for the Son of man, there is not where he may recline his head.
Mat 8:21 And another of his disciples said to him: My Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said to him: Follow thou me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.
Mat 8:23 And when Jesus entered the ship, his disciples embarked with him.
Mat 8:24 And lo, a great commotion arose in the sea, so that the vessel was covered by the waves. But Jesus was asleep:
Mat 8:25 and his disciples came to awake him, and said to him: Our Lord, deliver us; we are perishing!
Mat 8:26 Jesus said to them, Why are ye afraid, ye small in faith! Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the sea; and there was great tranquillity.
Mat 8:27 And the men were amazed; and they said, What a man is this, to whom the winds and the sea are obedient !
Mat 8:28 And when Jesus arrived at the farther shore, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs, who came out from the sepulchres, very furious, so that no one could pass that way.
Mat 8:29 And they cried out, and said: What have we to do with thee ? Jesus, thou Son of God. Hast thou come hither before the time to torment us?
Mat 8:30 And at a distance from them there was a herd of many swine feeding
Mat 8:31 And the demons entreated of him, and said: If thou cast us out, suffer us to go into the herd of swine.
Mat 8:32 And Jesus said to them, Go ye. And immediately they came out, and entered into the swine; and that whole herd ran straight to a precipice and plunged into the sea, and perished in the waters.
Mat 8:33 And the herdsmen fled, and entered the city, and related all that had occurred, and concerning the demoniacs.
Mat 8:34 And all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him to retire from their coasts.
Mat 9:1 And he entered the ship, and passed over and came to his own city.
Mat 9:2 And they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus saw their faith, and said to the paralytic: Take courage, my son; thy sins are forgiven thee.
Mat 9:3 And some of the Scribes said in their minds, This man blasphemeth.
Mat 9:4 But Jesus knew their thoughts: and he said to them, Why do ye think evil [things] in your heart?
Mat 9:5 For, which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
Mat 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic: Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy home.
Mat 9:7 And he arose and went to his home.
Mat 9:8 And when the multitudes saw [it], they were struck with awe; and they praised God, who had given authority like this to men.
Mat 9:9 And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the custom-house, whose name was Matthew. And he said to him, Follow me: and he arose and followed him.
Mat 9:10 And as they were reclining in a house, many publicans an sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his disciples.
Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it] they said to his disciples, Why doth your Rabbi eat with publicans and sinners?
Mat 9:12 And as Jesus heard [it], he said to them: They who are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are very sick.
Mat 9:13 Go and learn what that is: I require compassion, and not a sacrifice! For I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinful.
Mat 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, and said: Why do we and the Pharisees fast much and thy disciples fast not?
Mat 9:15 Jesus said to them: Can the children of the nuptial chamber fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.
Mat 9:16 No one inserteth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; lest that which filleth up, tear from that garment, and the rent become greater.
Mat 9:17 And they do not put new wine into old sacks; lest the sacks burst, and the wine run out, and the sacks perish. But they put new wine into new sacks and they are both preserved.
Mat 9:18 And while he was thus discoursing with them a certain ruler came, drew near, worshipped him and said: My daughter is already dead, but come lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.
Mat 9:19 And Jesus rose up, and his disciples; and they followed him.
Mat 9:20 And behold, a woman whose blood had flowed fourteen years, came up behind him, and touched the extremity of his robe:
Mat 9:21 for she had said in her mind, If I but touch his garment I shall be cured.
Mat 9:22 And Jesus turned himself, looked at her, and said to her: Take courage, my daughter; thy faith hath given thee life. And the woman was cured from that very hour.
Mat 9:23 And Jesus came to the house of the ruler: and he saw there pipers, and multitudes making outcry.
Mat 9:24 And he said to them: Retire; for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they scoffed at him.
Mat 9:25 And when he had ejected the throngs, he entered in, and took her by the hand, and the maid rose up.
Mat 9:26 And the fame of this [thing] spread in all that land.
Mat 9:27 And when Jesus had passed from there, two blind men followed after him, and said: Have mercy on us, Thou Son of David!
Mat 9:28 And when he had entered a house, those blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them: Believe ye that I am able to do this ? They said to him, Yes, our Lord.
Mat 9:29 Then he touched their eyes, and said: As ye have believed, so shall it be to you.
Mat 9:30 And forthwith their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them and said: See, that no man know [of it].
Mat 9:31 But they went out and spread the fame of it in all that land.
Mat 9:32 And as Jesus went out, they brought to him a dumb man in whom was a demon.
Mat 9:33 And when the demon had gone out, the dumb man conversed. And the multitudes admired, and said: Never was it so seen in Israel!
Mat 9:34 But the Pharisees said: It is by the Prince of demons, he casteth out demons.
Mat 9:35 And Jesus traveled over all the cities and the villages: and he taught in their synagogues, and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom, and healed all diseases and all pains.
Mat 9:36 And when Jesus looked on the multitudes, he pitied them; because they were wearied and dispersed, like sheep that have no shepherd.
Mat 9:37 And he said to his disciples, The harvest is great, and the laborers few.
Mat 9:38 Entreat, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers into his harvest.
Mat 10:1 And he called his twelve disciples [to him], and gave them authority over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to heal every pain and disease.
Mat 10:2 And the names of those twelve Legates are these: The first of them, Simon who is called Cephas, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Mat 10:3 and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Thomas, and Matthew the publican; and James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was called Thaddeus;
Mat 10:4 and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.
Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth: and he commanded them and said: Go not in the way of the Gentiles: and enter not the cities of the Samaritans.
Mat 10:6 But, go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, proclaim and say: The kingdom of heaven hath approached.
Mat 10:8 Heal ye the sick; cleanse the leprous; [raise the dead;] and cast out demons. Freely ye have received; freely give.
Mat 10:9 Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;
Mat 10:10 nor a wallet for the journey: neither two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer is worthy of his food.
Mat 10:11 And into whatever city or town ye enter, inquire, who in it is worthy; and there stay until ye depart.
Mat 10:12 And when ye enter a house, salute the household.
Mat 10:13 And if the house be worthy, your peace will come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace will return upon yourselves.
Mat 10:14 And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your discourses, when ye depart from that house or that town, shake off the dust from your feet.
Mat 10:15 Verily I say to you, that it will be comfortable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, rather than for that city.
Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves. Therefore be ye sagacious as serpents, and guileless as doves.
Mat 10:17 And beware of men; for they will deliver you over to the tribunals, and will scourge you in their synagogues.
Mat 10:18 And they will bring you before governors and kings, on my account, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
Mat 10:19 And when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that hour what to say.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your Father speaking in you.
Mat 10:21 And brother shall deliver up his brother to death, and a father his son; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to die.
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated by every one, on account of my name. But he that shall endure to the end, shall have life.
Mat 10:23 And when they persecute you in one city, flee to another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed all the cities of the house of Israel, till the Son of man shall come.
Mat 10:24 No disciple is better than his rabbi; nor a servant, than his lord.
Mat 10:25 It is sufficient for the disciple, that he be as his rabbi; and the servant, as his lord. If they call the lord of the house Beelzebub, how much more the children of his family?
Mat 10:26 Therefore be not afraid of them; for there is nothing covered up, that shall not be exposed; nor concealed, that shall not become known.
Mat 10:27 Whatever I say to you in the dark, that speak ye in the light; and what ye have heard in your ears, proclaim ye on the housetops.
Mat 10:28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but be afraid rather of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mat 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing ? Yet one of them doth not fall to the ground without your Father.
Mat 10:30 As for you, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Mat 10:31 Therefore be not afraid: ye are more important than many sparrows.
Mat 10:32 Wherefore, whoever shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 10:34 Think not that I have come to sow quietness on the earth: I have not come to sow quietness, but conflict.
Mat 10:35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Mat 10:36 And a man's foes will be the members of his household.
Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me:
Mat 10:38 and he that doth not bear his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 He that preserveth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall preserve it.
Mat 10:40 He that entertaineth you, entertaineth me: and he that entertaineth me, entertaineth him that sent me.
Mat 10:41 He that entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that entertaineth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
Mat 10:42 And whoever shall give one of these little ones to drink a cup of cold [water] only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
Mat 11:1 And when Jesus had ended the instructions to his twelve disciples, he went from there, to teach and to proclaim in their cities.
Mat 11:2 Now when John, in the house of prisoners, heard of the works of Messiah, he sent by the hand of his disciples,
Mat 11:3 and said to him: Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect another ?
Mat 11:4 Jesus answered, and said to them: Go, tell John the things that ye hear and see:
Mat 11:5 the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the needy hear good tidings:
Mat 11:6 and happy is he, who shall not be stumbled at me.
Mat 11:7 And when they were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see ? A reed that waved in the wind?
Mat 11:8 And if not; what went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate robes ? Lo, they that are clothed in delicate [robes], are in the dwelling of kings.
Mat 11:9 And if not; what went ye out to see ? A prophet ? Yes, say I to you, and more than a prophet.
Mat 11:10 For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, that he may prepare the way before thee.
Mat 11:11 Verily I say to you, Among those born of women, there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer: yet the small one in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptizer, until now, the kingdom of heaven is assailed by force, and the violent seize it.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied, until the time of John.
Mat 11:14 And, if ye are willing, receive ye, that this is he who was to come.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear !
Mat 11:16 But to what shall I compare this generation ? It is like to children, that sit in the marketplace and call to their associates,
Mat 11:17 and say: We have sung to you, and ye did not dance: we have wailed to you, and ye did not lament.
Mat 11:18 For John came, not eating and not drinking; and they said, He hath a demon.
Mat 11:19 The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and they say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her works.
Mat 11:20 Then began Jesus to reproach the cities, in which his many deeds of power were wrought, yet they repented not.
Mat 11:21 And he said: Woe to thee, Chorazin ! Woe to thee, Bethsaida ! For if the deeds of power done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
Mat 11:22 But I say to you, It will be comfortable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
Mat 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which hast been lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to the grave. For if those deeds of power which were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have stood to this day.
Mat 11:24 But I say to thee, It will be comfortable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, rather than for thee.
Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise thee, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to little children.
Mat 11:26 Yes, my Father; for so it seemed good before thee.
Mat 11:27 Every thing is given up by my Father to me. And no one knoweth the Son, except the Father. Also, no one knoweth the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal [him].
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye wearied and heavily burdened, and I will ease you.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you; and learn from me, that I am gentle and subdued in my heart: and ye will find rest for your souls:
Mat 11:30 for my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.
Mat 12:1 At that time Jesus, on the sabbath, walked in the tillage grounds: and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.
Mat 12:2 And when the Pharisees saw them, they said to him: See; thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
Mat 12:3 But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?
Mat 12:4 How he went to the house of God, and ate the bread of the Lord's table; which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but solely for the priests ?
Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that in the temple the priests profane the sabbath, and are without fault ?
Mat 12:6 But I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here.
Mat 12:7 And if ye had known what that is, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; ye would not have criminated them who are without fault.
Mat 12:8 For the Son of man, is lord of the sabbath.
Mat 12:9 And Jesus went from there, and came to their synagogue.
Mat 12:10 And a man was there, whose hand was withered. And they questioned him and said, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath ? that they might defame him.
Mat 12:11 And he said to them, What man among you is there, who, if he have a sheep, and it fall into a pit on the day of the sabbath, doth not lay hold of it and lift it out ?
Mat 12:12 Now, how much better is a human being than a sheep ! Wherefore it is lawful to do what is good, on the sabbath.
Mat 12:13 Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched out his hand; and it was restored, and like the other.
Mat 12:14 And the Pharisees went out and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him.
Mat 12:15 But Jesus knew [it]; and he retired from there. And great multitudes followed him: and he cured them all.
Mat 12:16 And he charged them not to make him known:
Mat 12:17 that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying:
Mat 12:18 Behold my servant, in whom I have complacency; my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth. I will put my spirit upon him; and he shall proclaim judgment to the Gentiles.
Mat 12:19 He shall not contend, nor be clamorous, nor shall any one hear his voice in the market-place.
Mat 12:20 The crushed reed he will not break; and the flickering lamp he will not extinguish; until he bring judgment to be victorious.
Mat 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Mat 12:22 Then they brought to him a demoniac that was dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind man both talked and saw.
Mat 12:23 And all the multitude were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David ?
Mat 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said: This man doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub the prince of demons.
Mat 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: Every kingdom that is divided against itself, will become desolate; and every house or city which is divided against itself, will not stand.
Mat 12:26 Now if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then doth his kingdom stand ?
Mat 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out ? Wherefore they will be your judges.
Mat 12:28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, the kingdom of God hath come near to you.
Mat 12:29 Or how can one enter the house of a strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? and then he may plunder his house.
Mat 12:30 He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me actually scattereth.
Mat 12:31 Therefore I say to you, that all sins and contumelies shall be forgiven to men; but the contumely which is against the Spirit, shall not be forgiven to men.
Mat 12:32 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him: but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him; not in this world, and not in the world to come.
Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and its fruits good; or make the tree bad, and its fruits bad: for a tree is known by its fruits.
Mat 12:34 Offspring of vipers, how can ye who are evil, speak good things ? For out of the fullnesses of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Mat 12:35 A good man out of good treasures bringeth forth good things, and a bad man out of bad treasures bringeth forth bad things.
Mat 12:36 For I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of it in the day of judgment.
Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified; and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Mat 12:38 Then answered some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees, and said to him: Teacher, we wish to see from thee a sign.
Mat 12:39 But he replied and said to them: A wicked and adulterous generation demandeth a sign: but a sign will not be given to it, unless it be the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights; so will the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Mat 12:41 The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment against this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and lo, a greater than Jonah is here.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south will stand up in the judgment against this generation, and will condemn it: for she came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, a superior to Solomon is here.
Mat 12:43 And when an unclean spirit goeth out of a man, it wandereth in places where is no water, and seeketh comfort and findeth [it] not.
Mat 12:44 Then it saith: I will return to my house, from which I came out. And it cometh, and findeth it vacated, and swept clean, and set in order.
Mat 12:45 So it goeth and taketh with it seven other spirits, worse than itself, and they enter and dwell in it; and the end of that man is worse than his beginning. So will it be to this evil generation.
Mat 12:46 And while he was discoursing to the multitudes, his mother and his brothers came and stood with out, and sought to speak with him.
Mat 12:47 And a person said to him: Lo, thy mother and thy brothers stand without, and seek to speak with thee.
Mat 12:48 But he replied, and said to him that informed him: Who is my mother ? and who are my brothers ?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said: Behold my mother, and behold my brothers!
Mat 12:50 For every one that doeth the good pleasure of my Father who is in heaven, that person is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.
Mat 13:1 And on that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the side of the sea.
Mat 13:2 And great multitudes assembled around him; so that he embarked and seated himself in a ship, and all the multitude stood on the shore of the sea.
Mat 13:3 An he discoursed with them much, by similitudes. And he said, Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
Mat 13:4 And as he sowed, some [seed] fell upon the side of a path: and a bird came and devoured it.
Mat 13:5 And other [seed] fell upon a rock, so that it had not much soil: and it sprung up forthwith, because there was no depth of earth.
Mat 13:6 But when the sun was up it wilted. And, because it lacked root, it dried up.
Mat 13:7 And other [seed] fell among thorns: and the thorns shot up, and choked it.
Mat 13:8 And other [seed] fell on good ground; and bore fruits, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
Mat 13:9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 13:10 And his disciples came and said to him, Why discoursest thou to them in similitudes ?
Mat 13:11 And he answered, and said to them: Because, to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For to him that hath, shall be given; and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken from him.
Mat 13:13 For this cause I discourse to them in similitudes, because they see and do not see, and they hear and do not hear, nor understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said: By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and by seeing ye see, and shall not know:
Mat 13:15 For the heart of this people hath grown fat, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and should hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should turn; and I should heal them.
Mat 13:16 But happy are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous [men] longed to see what ye see, and did not see [it]; and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear [it].
Mat 13:18 But hear ye the similitude of the seed.
Mat 13:19 Every one that heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the evil one cometh and snatcheth away the seed sowed in his heart: this is what was sowed by the side of the path.
Mat 13:20 And that which was sowed on the rock, is he that heareth the word, and at once receiveth it with joy.
Mat 13:21 Yet hath he no root in him, but is of short duration, and when there is trouble or persecution on account of the word, he soon stumbleth.
Mat 13:22 And that which was sowed among thorns, is he that heareth the word; and care for this world and the deceptiveness of riches, choke the word; and he is without fruits.
Mat 13:23 But that which was sowed on good ground, is he that heareth my word, and understandeth. and beareth fruits, and yieldeth, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
Mat 13:24 Another similitude he proposed to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Mat 13:25 And while people were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
Mat 13:26 And when the plant shot up and bore fruits, then appeared also the tares.
Mat 13:27 And the servants of the householder came, and said to him, Our lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? From whence are the tares in it.
Mat 13:28 And he said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Is it thy pleasure that we go and gather them out ?
Mat 13:29 And he said to them, [No,] lest, while ye gather out the tares, ye also eradicate the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let them both grow together until the harvest; and at the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the tares, and bind them in bundles to be burned; but the wheat gather ye into my granary.
Mat 13:31 Another similitude proposed he to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a kernel of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
Mat 13:32 And this is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than all the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that a bird of heaven may come and nestle in its branches.
Mat 13:33 Another similitude spake he to them, The kingdom of heaven is like the leaven, which a woman took and buried in three measures of meal, until the whole fermented.
Mat 13:34 All these things Jesus discoursed to the multitude in similitudes; and without similitudes he did not discourse with them.
Mat 13:35 That so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, who said: I will open my mouth in similitudes; I will utter things concealed from before the foundation of the world.
Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent away the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, and said: Explain to us the similitude of the tares and the field.
Mat 13:37 And he answered, and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of God.
Mat 13:38 And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked One.
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them, is Satan. The harvest is the end of the world : and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so will it be in the end of the world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling blocks, and all the doers of evil;
Mat 13:42 and will cast them into a furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then will the righteous shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that is hid in a field; which when a man findeth, he concealeth it, and, from his joy, he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Mat 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman, who sought after rich pearls:
Mat 13:46 and when he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Mat 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a sweep net, which was cast into the sea, and collected [fishes] of every kind.
Mat 13:48 And when it was full, they drew it to the shores of the sea; and they sat down and culled over: and the good they put into vessels, and the bad they cast away.
Mat 13:49 So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will go forth, and will sever the wicked from among the just;
Mat 13:50 and will cast them into a furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:51 Jesus said to them: Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes, our Lord.
Mat 13:52 He said to them: Therefore every Scribe who is instructed for the kingdom of heaven, is like a man who is master of a house, who bringeth forth from his treasures things new and old.
Mat 13:53 And it was so, that when Jesus had ended these similitudes, he departed thence.
Mat 13:54 And he entered into his own city. And he taught them in their synagogues, in such manner that they wondered, and said: Whence hath he this wisdom and [these] works of power ?
Mat 13:55 Is not this man the carpenter's son ? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joses and Simon and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And all his sisters, are they not with us ? Whence then hath this man all these things?
Mat 13:57 And they were stumbled at him. But Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who is little, except in his own city and in his own house.
Mat 13:58 And he did not perform there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
Mat 14:1 And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus:
Mat 14:2 and he said to his servants: This is John the Baptizer: he is risen from the grave: therefore works of power are wrought by him.
Mat 14:3 Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
Mat 14:4 For John had said to him: It is no lawful for her to be thy wife.
Mat 14:5 And he had wished to kill him; but he was afraid of the people, seeing that they regarded him as a prophet.
Mat 14:6 But when Herod's birthday festival occurred, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests; and she pleased Herod.
Mat 14:7 Therefore he swore to her by an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she might ask.
Mat 14:8 And she, as she had been instructed by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
Mat 14:9 And it troubled the king: nevertheless, on account of the oath, and the guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
Mat 14:10 And he sent and cut off the head of John in the prison.
Mat 14:11 And the head was brought in a dish and given to the girl; and she brought it to her mother.
Mat 14:12 And his disciples came and bore away the corpse, and buried [it]; and they went and informed Jesus.
Mat 14:13 And Jesus, when he had heard [it], retired alone, in a ship, to a desert place. And when the multitudes heard [of it], they followed him by dry land from the cities.
Mat 14:14 And when Jesus disembarked, he saw great multitudes; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
Mat 14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is gone; send away the throngs of people, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food.
Mat 14:16 But he said to them: It is not necessary for them to go; give ye them to eat.
Mat 14:17 And they said to him: We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.
Mat 14:18 Jesus said to them: Bring them here to me.
Mat 14:19 And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the five cakes and two fishes, and he looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples placed before the multitudes.
Mat 14:20 And they all ate, and were satisfied : and they took up the broken remains, twelve full baskets.
Mat 14:21 And the men who had eaten were five thousand, besides the women and children.
Mat 14:22 And immediately he constrained his disciples to embark in a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent away the multitudes.
Mat 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he ascended a mountain alone to pray. And when it was dark, he was there alone.
Mat 14:24 And the ship was distant from land many furlongs: meanwhile it was much tossed by the waves; for the wind was adverse to it.
Mat 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came up to them, walking upon the waters.
Mat 14:26 And his disciples saw him as he walked upon the waters, and they were perturbated: and they said, What we see is a spectre: and they cried out through fear.
Mat 14:27 But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Have courage: it is I; be not afraid.
Mat 14:28 Cephas replied, and said to him: My Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the waters.
Mat 14:29 And Jesus said to him, Come. And Cephas descended from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
Mat 14:30 But when he saw the wind to be violent, he was afraid, and began to sink. And he raised his voice, and said : My Lord, rescue me.
Mat 14:31 And immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him: O small in faith, why didst thou distrust!
Mat 14:32 And as they entered the ship, the wind subsided.
Mat 14:33 And they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, and said: Truly thou art the Son of God !
Mat 14:34 And they rowed on, and came to the land of Gennesaret.
Mat 14:35 And the men of that place knew him: and they sent to all the villages around them; and they brought to him all that were very sick;
Mat 14:36 and they entreated of him, that they might touch at least the extremity of his garment. And they who touched, were healed.
Mat 15:1 Then came to Jesus Pharisees and Scribes that were from Jerusalem, and said:
Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread ?
Mat 15:3 Jesus replied and said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, on account of your tradition ?
Mat 15:4 For God hath said: Honor thy father, and thy mother; and he that revileth his father or his mother, shall be put to death.
Mat 15:5 But ye say : Whosoever shall say to a father or to a mother, Be that my offering, by which ye get profit from me: then he must not honor his father or his mother.
Mat 15:6 And [thus] ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition.
Mat 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say :
Mat 15:8 This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men.
Mat 15:10 And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand.
Mat 15:11 Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man.
Mat 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech ?
Mat 15:13 And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated.
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch.
Mat 15:15 And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude.
Mat 15:16 And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding ?
Mat 15:17 Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation ?
Mat 15:18 But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man.
Mat 15:19 For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling.
Mat 15:20 These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled.
Mat 15:21 And Jesus departed from there, and went to the confines of Tyre and Sidon.
Mat 15:22 And lo, a woman, a Canaanitess from those confines, came forth, calling out and saying: Compassionate me, my Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously distressed by a demon.
Mat 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and requested of him, and said: Send her away, for she crieth after us.
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said to them: I am not sent, except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Israel.
Mat 15:25 And she came, and worshipped him, and said: Help me, my Lord.
Mat 15:26 Jesus said to her: It is not proper, to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs.
Mat 15:27 And she said: Even so, my Lord; yet the dogs eat of the fragments that fall from the tables of their masters, and live.
Mat 15:28 Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.
Mat 15:29 And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there.
Mat 15:30 And great multitudes came to him; and with them were the lame, and the blind, and the dumb, and the maimed, and many others: and they laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them.
Mat 15:31 So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.
Mat 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way.
Mat 15:33 His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude ?
Mat 15:34 Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye ? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Mat 15:35 And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground.
Mat 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
Mat 15:37 And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up the remains of fragments, seven full baskets.
Mat 15:38 And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Mat 15:39 And when he had sent away the multitudes, he took ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.
Mat 16:1 And Pharisees and Sadducees came near, tempting him, and asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
Mat 16:2 But he answered, and said to them: When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the heavens are red.
Mat 16:3 And in the morning ye say, There will be a storm to-day; for the heavens are sadly red. Ye hypocrites, ye are intelligent to discover the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of this time ye have no skill to discern.
Mat 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation asketh for a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
Mat 16:5 And when his disciples had come to the farther shore, they had forgotten to take bread with them.
Mat 16:6 And he said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Mat 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, and said, [it was] because they had taken no bread.
Mat 16:8 But Jesus knew [it] and said to them : O ye small in faith! why reason ye among yourselves because ye have taken no bread?
Mat 16:9 Have ye not yet understood ? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
Mat 16:10 Nor the seven loaves and the four thousand, and the many baskets ye took up?
Mat 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Mat 16:12 Then understood they, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mat 16:13 And when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples, and said: What do men say concerning me, that I the Son of man, am?
Mat 16:14 And they said: Some say that [thou art] John the Baptizer; but others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Mat 16:15 He said to them: But, who do ye yourselves say that I am ?
Mat 16:16 Simon Cephas answered and said: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 Jesus answered, and said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood have not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 16:18 Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over it.
Mat 16:19 To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.
Mat 16:20 Then he enjoined on his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was the Messiah.
Mat 16:21 And from that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he was to go up to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the Elders, and from the chief priests and Scribes, and be killed, and on the third day arise.
Mat 16:22 And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him; and he said: Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee.
Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said to Cephas: Get thee behind me, Satan : Thou art a stumbling block to me; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but the things of men.
Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus to his disciples: If any one desireth to come after me, let him deny himself; and let him bear his cross, and come after me.
Mat 16:25 For, whoever chooseth to preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
Mat 16:26 For what will it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and shall lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul ?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.
Mat 16:28 Verily I say to you: There are some persons standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus took Cephas, and James, and John his brother, and conducted them alone to a high mountain.
Mat 17:2 And Jesus was changed before them: and his face shone like the sun; and his vestments became white like the light.
Mat 17:3 And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, in conversation with him.
Mat 17:4 Then Cephas answered and said to Jesus: My Lord, it is good for us to be here: and, if it please thee, we will make here three booths; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Mat 17:5 And while he was yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and there was a voice from the cloud which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have pleasure; hear ye him.
Mat 17:6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their faces, and were much afraid.
Mat 17:7 And Jesus came to them and touched them, and said: Arise, and be not afraid.
Mat 17:8 And they raised their eyes, and they saw no person, except Jesus only.
Mat 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, and said to them: Speak of this vision before no person, until the Son of man shall have arisen from the dead.
Mat 17:10 And his disciples asked him, and said to him: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first come?
Mat 17:11 Jesus answered, and said to them: Elijah doth first come, to fulfill every thing.
Mat 17:12 And I say to you. That, behold, Elijah hath come, and they did not know him; and they have done to him whatever they pleased: and, in like manner, also the Son of man is to suffer from them.
Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood, that he spake to them of John the Baptizer.
Mat 17:14 And when they came to the multitude, a man approached him, and bowed himself on his knees,
Mat 17:15 and said to him: My Lord, compassionate me. I have a son who is a lunatic, and grievously afflicted; for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
Mat 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
Mat 17:17 Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation ! How long shall I be with you ? and how long bear with you ? Bring him here to me.
Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it departed from him: and from that hour the child was healed.
Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus, apart, and said to him: Why could not we heal him?
Mat 17:20 Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, That if there be in you faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye may say to this mountain, Remove hence, and it will remove: and nothing will be too hard for you.
Mat 17:21 But this kind goeth not out, except by fasting and prayer.
Mat 17:22 And while they were resident in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of men;
Mat 17:23 and they will kill him; and the third day he will arise. And it saddened them much.
Mat 17:24 And when they came to Capernaum, those who receive the two drachmas of capitation money came to Cephas, and said to him: Doth not your rabbi pay his two drachmas ?
Mat 17:25 He said to them, Yes. And when Cephas had entered the house, Jesus anticipated him and said to him: How doth it appear to thee, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute and capitation money ? of their children, or of aliens ?
Mat 17:26 Simon said to him: Of aliens. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
Mat 17:27 But still, lest they be stumbled with us, go thou to the sea and cast in a fish-hook, and the fish that shall first come up, open its mouth, and thou wilt find a stater : that take, and give for me and for thyself.
Mat 18:1 In that hour the disciples approached Jesus, and said: Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Mat 18:2 And Jesus called a child, and placed him in the midst of them,
Mat 18:3 and said: Verily I say to you, that unless ye be converted, and become like children, ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 He therefore that shall humble himself like this child, he will be great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:5 And he that shall receive in my name [one who is] like to this child, he receiveth me.
Mat 18:6 And whosoever shall stumble one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were suspended to his neck, and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.
Mat 18:7 Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks ! For it must be, that stumbling blocks come. But, woe to the person by whose means the stumbling blocks come.
Mat 18:8 If then thy hand or thy foot make thee stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life lame or mutilated, and not that, with two hands or two feet, thou fall into eternal fire.
Mat 18:9 And if thine eye make thee stumble, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, and not that, with two eyes, thou fall into the hell of fire.
Mat 18:10 See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That their angels in heaven, at all times, are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 18:11 For the Son of man, hath come to give life to that which was lost.
Mat 18:12 How doth it appear to you ? If a man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, will he not leave the ninety and nine in the mountains, and go and seek the one that strayed ?
Mat 18:13 And if he find it, verily I say to you, that he rejoiceth in it, more than in the ninety and nine that did not stray.
Mat 18:14 Just so, it is not the pleasure of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Mat 18:15 Moreover, if thy brother commit an offence against thee, go and admonish him between thee and him only. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Mat 18:17 And if he will also not hear them, tell [it] to the church. And if he will also not hear the church, let him be to thee as a publican and a heathen.
Mat 18:18 Verily I say to you, That whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be to them from my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three [are] assembled in my name, there [am] I in the midst of them.
Mat 18:21 Then Cephas approached him, and said to him: My Lord, how many times, if my brother commit offence against me, shall I forgive him ? up to seven times ?
Mat 18:22 Jesus said to him: I do not say to thee, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like to some king, who wished to have a reckoning with his servants.
Mat 18:24 And when he began to reckon, they brought to him one debtor of ten thousand talents.
Mat 18:25 And as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, him and his wife and his children, and all that he possessed, and payment to be made.
Mat 18:26 And that servant fell down and worshipped him, and said: My lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee the whole.
Mat 18:27 And his lord had compassion on that servant, and set him free, and forgave him his debt.
Mat 18:28 Then that servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hold of him and choked him, and said to him: Pay me what thou owest me.
Mat 18:29 And that fellow-servant fell at his feet and entreated him, and said: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee the whole.
Mat 18:30 But he would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay him what he owed him.
Mat 18:31 And when their fellow-servants saw what was done, it grieved them much; and they came and made known to their lord all that had occurred.
Mat 18:32 Then his lord called him, and said to him: Thou vile servant ! Lo, I forgave thee that whole debt, because thou entreatedst of me:
Mat 18:33 oughtest not thou also to have compassion on thy fellow-servant, as I had compassion on thee?
Mat 18:34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him over to the torturers, until he should pay all he owed him.
Mat 18:35 So will my Father who is in heaven do to you, unless ye from your heart forgive each his brother his offence.
Mat 19:1 And when Jesus had ended these discourses, he removed from Galilee, and came to the confines of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
Mat 19:2 And great multitudes followed after him, and he healed them there.
Mat 19:3 And Pharisees came to him, and tempted him and said: Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for every cause ?
Mat 19:4 And he answered and said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made [them] at the beginning, made them a male and a female?
Mat 19:5 And he said: For this reason, a man shall leave his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh.
Mat 19:6 Wherefore they were not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath united, let not man sunder.
Mat 19:7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put her away ?
Mat 19:8 He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to divorce your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Mat 19:9 And I say to you, That whoever leaveth his wife not being an adulteress, and taketh another, committeth adultery. And whoever taketh her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
Mat 19:10 His disciples say to him: If such is the case between man and wife, it is not expedient to take a wife.
Mat 19:11 But he said to them: Not every one is capable of that thing, but he only to whom it is given.
Mat 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, born so from their mother's womb; and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can be contented let him be contented.
Mat 19:13 Then they brought children to him, that he might lay his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples rebuked them.
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said to them: Allow children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those that are like them is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:15 And he laid his hand upon them, and departed from there.
Mat 19:16 And one came, drew near, and said to him: Good Teacher, what good thing must I do, that eternal life may be mine ?
Mat 19:17 And he said to him: Why callest thou me good ? There is none good, except one, [namely,] God. But if thou wouldst enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He said to him, Which ? And Jesus said to him: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not bear false testimony;
Mat 19:19 and honor thy father and thy mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Mat 19:20 The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my childhood. What do I lack?
Mat 19:21 Jesus saith to him: If thou desirest to be perfect, go, sell thy property, and give to the poor; and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven; and come thou after me.
Mat 19:22 And the young man heard that speech, and he went away in sadness; for he had much property.
Mat 19:23 And Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, it is difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:24 And again, I say to you: It is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
Mat 19:25 And when the disciples heard [it], they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life!
Mat 19:26 Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men this is not practicable, but with God every thing is practicable.
Mat 19:27 Then answered Cephas, and said to him: Lo, we have forsaken every thing, and come after thee: What therefore shall we receive ?
Mat 19:28 Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 19:29 And every man that relinquisheth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.
Mat 19:30 But there are many first who shall be last, and last [who shall be] first.
Mat 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the lord of a house, who went out, at dawn of day, to hire laborers for his vineyard.
Mat 20:2 And he contracted with the labors for a denarius a day: and sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 And he went out at the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place:
Mat 20:4 and he said to them, Go ye also into my vineyard, and what is right I will give you;
Mat 20:5 and they went. And again he went out at the sixth and ninth hours, and did the same.
Mat 20:6 And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others who were standing and idle; and he said to them: Why stand ye all the day, and are idle ?
Mat 20:7 They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into the vineyard; and what is right ye shall receive.
Mat 20:8 And when it was evening, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and give them their wages; and commence with the last, and proceed to the first.
Mat 20:9 And those of the eleventh hour came, and received each a denarius.
Mat 20:10 And when the first came, they supposed they should receive more; but they also received each a denarius.
Mat 20:11 And when they received [it], they murmured against the lord of the house,
Mat 20:12 and said: These last have labored but one hour, and thou hast made them equal with us who have borne the burden of the day and the heat of it.
Mat 20:13 But he answered, and said to one of them: My friend, I do thee no injustice: was it not for a denarius that thou didst contract with me?
Mat 20:14 Take what belongeth to thee, and go: for I am disposed to give to this last, as to thee.
Mat 20:15 Is it not lawful for me, to do what I please with what belongeth to me; or is thy eye evil, because I am good ?
Mat 20:16 Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: for the called are many, but the chosen are few.
Mat 20:17 And Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem: and he took his twelve disciples aside, on the way, and said to them:
Mat 20:18 Behold we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the Scribes, and they will condemn him to death.
Mat 20:19 And they will deliver him over to the Gentiles: and they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will crucify him; and the third day, he will arise.
Mat 20:20 Then came, to him the mother of Zebedee's children, she and her sons; and she worshipped him, and asked something from him.
Mat 20:21 And he said to her, What desirest thou? She said to him: Say, that these my two sons shall sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
Mat 20:22 Jesus answered and said: Ye know not what ye ask for. Can ye drink of the cup, of which I am to drink ? or be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with ? They say to him: We can.
Mat 20:23 He saith to them: Ye will [indeed] drink of my cup, and will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.
Mat 20:24 And when the ten heard [it], they were angry against the two brothers.
Mat 20:25 And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know that the princes of the nations are their lords, and their great men exercise authority over them.
Mat 20:26 Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you desireth to be great, let him be to you, a ministerer:
Mat 20:27 and whoever among you desireth to be first, let him be your servant:
Mat 20:28 even as the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mat 20:29 And as Jesus passed out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Mat 20:30 And lo, two blind men were sitting by the way side. And when they heard that Jesus was passing, they called out, and said: Have compassion on us, my Lord, thou son of David !
Mat 20:31 And the multitudes rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they raised their voice the more, and said: Our Lord, have compassion on us, thou son of David.
Mat 20:32 And Jesus stopped, and called them, and said: What wish ye, that I should do for you?
Mat 20:33 They said to him: Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Mat 20:34 And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes were opened, and they followed him.
Mat 21:1 And as he approached Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, by the side of the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples;
Mat 21:2 and said to them: Go into this village which is over against you, and directly ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Untie and bring [them] to me.
Mat 21:3 And if any man say ought to you, tell him, That they are needed by our Lord: and at once he will send them hither.
Mat 21:4 Now this whole occurrence was, that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Mat 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of an ass.
Mat 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them.
Mat 21:7 And they brought the ass and the colt. And they placed their garments on the colt, and set Jesus upon it.
Mat 21:8 And a very great throng strewed their clothes in the path; and others cut branches from the trees, and cast them in the path.
Mat 21:9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed after him, shouted and said: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Mat 21:10 And as he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion; and they said, Who is this?
Mat 21:11 And the multitudes said, This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
Mat 21:12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and expelled all them that bought and sold in the temple, and overset the counters of the money-brokers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
Mat 21:13 And he said to them: It is written, my house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers.
Mat 21:14 And there came to him in the temple the blind and the lame; and he healed them.
Mat 21:15 And when the chief priests and Pharisees saw the wonderful things which he performed, and the children shouting in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, their indignation was excited.
Mat 21:16 And they said to him: Hearest thou what these are saying ? Jesus said to them: Yes. Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and infants thou hast acquired praise ?
Mat 21:17 And he left them, and retired out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
Mat 21:18 And in the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Mat 21:19 And he saw a fig-tree by the way, and came to it and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And he said to it: There shall no more be fruit on thee for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered.
Mat 21:20 And the disciples saw [it], and admired, and said: How suddenly hath the fig-tree withered!
Mat 21:21 Jesus replied and said to them: Verily I say to you, That if there be faith in you, and ye shall not doubt, ye may not only do this thing of the fig-tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, be thou lifted up, and fall into the sea, it will be so.
Mat 21:22 And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, and shall believe, ye shall receive.
Mat 21:23 And when Jesus came to the temple, the chief priests and the Elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority ?
Mat 21:24 Jesus replied and said to them: I also will ask you one question, and if ye will tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, from whence was it ? From heaven, or from men ? And they reasoned among themselves, and said: If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why did ye not believe in him ?
Mat 21:26 And if we should say, From men; we are afraid of the multitude, for they all hold John as a prophet.
Mat 21:27 And they answered, and said to him: We do not know. Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mat 21:28 But how appeareth it to you ? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first and said to him, My son, go, labor to-day in the vineyard.
Mat 21:29 And he answered and said, I am not willing. But afterwards he repented and went.
Mat 21:30 And he came to the other, and said the same to him. And he answered and said: I [go], my lord, but did not go.
Mat 21:31 Which of these two performed the pleasure of his father ? They say to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you That publicans and harlots go before you into the kingdom of God.
Mat 21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and harlots believed him: and ye, after ye had seen [it], did not even then repent and believe in him.
Mat 21:33 Hear ye another similitude. A certain man, the lord of a house, planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower in it, and leased it to cultivators, and removed to a distance.
Mat 21:34 And when the time for the fruits arrived, he sent his servants to the cultivators that they might remit to him of the fruits of the vineyard.
Mat 21:35 And the cultivators laid hold of his servants, and beat one, and stoned another and one they slew.
Mat 21:36 And again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first; and they did the like to them.
Mat 21:37 And at last he sent to them his son: for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
Mat 21:38 But the cultivators, when they saw the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: Come; let us kill him, and retain his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they laid hold of him, thrust him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Mat 21:40 When the lord of the vineyard, therefore, shall come; what will he do to those cultivators ?
Mat 21:41 They say to him: He will utterly destroy them; and will lease the vineyard to other cultivators, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
Mat 21:42 Jesus said to them: Have ye never read in the scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner: this is from the Lord; and it is marvellous in our eyes ?
Mat 21:43 Therefore I say to you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a people that will yield fruits.
Mat 21:44 And whoever shall fall upon this stone, will be fractured; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to atoms ?
Mat 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his similitudes, they understood that he spoke in reference to them.
Mat 21:46 And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the multitude, because they accounted him as a prophet.
Mat 22:1 And Jesus answered again by similitudes, and said:
Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like to a royal person, who made a feast for his son.
Mat 22:3 And he sent his servants to call those that had been invited, to the feast: and they would not come.
Mat 22:4 And again he sent other servants, and said: Tell those invited, Behold, my entertainment is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are slain, and every thing is prepared; come ye to the feast.
Mat 22:5 But they showed contempt, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise;
Mat 22:6 and the rest seized his servants, and abused them, and slew them.
Mat 22:7 And when the king heard [of it], he was angry; and he sent his military forces, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Mat 22:8 Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, but they who were invited were unworthy.
Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore to the terminations of the streets; and as many as ye find, bid to the feast.
Mat 22:10 And those servants went out into the streets, and collected all they found, both bad and good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests.
Mat 22:11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who was not clad in the festal garments.
Mat 22:12 And he said to him: My friend, how camest thou here without the festal robes ? But he was silent.
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servitors: Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 For the called are many, and the chosen are few.
Mat 22:15 Then went the Pharisees and took counsel, how they might ensnare him in discourse.
Mat 22:16 And they sent to him their disciples, with domestics of Herod, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou art veracious, and teachest the way of God with truth, regardless of man, for thou hast no respect of persons.
Mat 22:17 Tell us, therefore, how doth it appear to thee: is it lawful to pay capitation money to Caesar, or not ?
Mat 22:18 But Jesus knew their wickedness, and said: Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites ?
Mat 22:19 Show me a denarius of the capitation money. And they brought to him a denarius.
Mat 22:20 And Jesus said to them: Whose is this image and inscription?
Mat 22:21 They say, Caesar's. He saith to them: Give then Caesar's things to Caesar, and God's things to God.
Mat 22:22 And when they heard [it] they were surprised: and they left him, and went away.
Mat 22:23 The same day came Sadducees, and said to him: There is no life of the dead. And they questioned him,
Mat 22:24 and said to him: Teacher ; Moses commanded us, that if a man should die childless, his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
Mat 22:25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first took a wife, and deceased; and, as he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
Mat 22:26 In like manner also the second, and the third, and up to the whole seven.
Mat 22:27 And after them all, the woman also herself died.
Mat 22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, to which of those seven will she be the wife ? For they all had taken her ?
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered, and said to them: Ye do err, from not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection of the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mat 22:31 But as to the resurrection of the dead,: have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, who said:
Mat 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob ? Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Mat 22:33 And when the multitude heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
Mat 22:34 And when the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they assembled together;
Mat 22:35 and one of them, who was expert in the law, to tempt him, inquired:
Mat 22:36 Teacher, which is the great command in the law ?
Mat 22:37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the great and first command.
Mat 22:39 And the second, which is like it, is, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Mat 22:40 On these two commands hang the law and the prophets.
Mat 22:41 And while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them,
Mat 22:42 and said: What say ye respecting, the Messiah? Whose son is he ? They say to him; The son of David.
Mat 22:43 He saith to them: How then doth David, by the Spirit, call him Lord? for he said:
Mat 22:44 The Lord said to my Lord, Seat thyself at my right hand, until I place thy enemies under thy feet.
Mat 22:45 If David then call] him Lord, how is he his son ?
Mat 22:46 And no one was able to give him an answer ? And from that day, no one dared to question him.
Mat 23:1 Then Jesus conversed with the multitude and with his disciples,
Mat 23:2 and said to them: The Scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses.
Mat 23:3 Whatever therefore they tell you to observe, that observe and do. But according to their deeds, practise ye not: for they say, and do not.
Mat 23:4 They tie up heavy burdens, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but will not themselves touch them with their finger.
Mat 23:5 And all their works they do, to be seen of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and extend the fringes of their garments.
Mat 23:6 And they love the highest couches at suppers and the highest seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 and the greeting in the market places, and to be addressed by men with Rabbi.
Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your Rabbi, and ye are all brethren.
Mat 23:9 And ye shall not call yourselves Father on earth; for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 And be ye not called guides; for one is your Guide, the Messiah.
Mat 23:11 And the great one among you will be your servitor.
Mat 23:12 For whoever shall] exalt himself, will be abased: and whoever shall abase himself, will be exalted.
Mat 23:13 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye devour the houses of widows, under the disguise of protracting your prayers. Therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.
Mat 23:14 Woe to you. Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye hold the kingdom of heaven closed before men; for ye enter not yourselves, and those that would enter ye suffer not to enter.
Mat 23:15 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye traverse sea and land to make one proselyte ; and when he is gained, ye make him a child of hell twofold more than yourselves.
Mat 23:16 Woe to you, ye blind guides: for ye say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold that is in the temple, he is holden.
Mat 23:17 Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold ?
Mat 23:18 And, whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whoever shall swear by the oblation upon it, he is holden.
Mat 23:19 Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the oblation, or the altar that sanctifieth the oblation ?
Mat 23:20 He therefore who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it.
Mat 23:21 And he who sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it.
Mat 23:22 And he who sweareth by heaven, sweareth by throne of God, and by him that sitteth on it.
Mat 23:23 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and omit the graver [matters] of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these ought ye to do, and those not to omit.
Mat 23:24 Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels.
Mat 23:25 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, while within they are full of rapine and wickedness.
Mat 23:26 Ye blind Pharisees, cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may be clean also.
Mat 23:27 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear comely without, but are within full of bones of the dead and all impurity.
Mat 23:28 So ye also, outwardly, appear to men as righteous; but within, ye are full of iniquity and hypocrisy.
Mat 23:29 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye build the tombs of the prophets and ye adorn the sepulchres of the righteous;
Mat 23:30 and ye say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been participators with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye are witnesses, against yourselves, that ye are the children of them that killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 And as for you, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye race of vipers: how can ye escape the condemnation of hell ?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; some of whom ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 so that on you may come all the blood of the righteous, which hath been shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathereth her young under her wings, and ye would not.
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate !
Mat 23:39 For I say to you, That ye shall not see me henceforth, until ye shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Mat 24:1 And Jesus passed out of the temple to go away: and his disciples came to him, showing him the structure of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And he said to them: See ye not all these? Verily I say to you, There will not be left here a stone upon a stone, that is not demolished.
Mat 24:3 And as Jesus sat on the mount of Olives, his disciples came, and said between themselves and him: Tell us when these things are to be; and what will be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world.
Mat 24:4 Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed, that no one deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many will come in my name, and will say, I am the Messiah: and they will deceive many.
Mat 24:6 And ye are to hear of conflicts, and the rumor of battles. See that ye be not disquieted: for all these things must come; but the consummation is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
Mat 24:8 But all these are only the commencement of sorrows.
Mat 24:9 And they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all nations, on account of my name.
Mat 24:10 Then many will be stumbled: and they will hate one another, and will betray one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets will rise up; and they will deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And on account of the abounding of iniquity, the love of many will decline.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall persevere to the end, will have life.
Mat 24:14 And this announcement of the kingdom shall be published in all the world, for a testimony to all nations: and then will come the consummation.
Mat 24:15 And when ye see the abominable sign of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place; then let the reader consider;
Mat 24:16 and then let them who are in Judaea, flee to the mountain:
Mat 24:17 and let him who is on the roof, not come down to take what is in his house:
Mat 24:18 and let him who is in the field, not return back to take his clothing.
Mat 24:19 But woe to those with child, and to them that are nursing, in those days.
Mat 24:20 And pray ye, that your flight be not in winter, or on the sabbath.
Mat 24:21 For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the commencement of the world, until now, and will not be.
Mat 24:22 And unless those days should be cut short, no flesh would remain alive. But, for the elect's sake, those days will be cut short.
Mat 24:23 Then, if any one shall say to you, Lo, the Messiah is here, or is there; give no credence.
Mat 24:24 For there will arise false Messiahs, and mendacious prophets; who will exhibit great signs, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Mat 24:26 If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: or, Behold, he is in a secret chamber; give no credence.
Mat 24:27 As the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
Mat 24:28 And wherever the carcass may be, there will the eagles be congregated.
Mat 24:29 And immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not show her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be agitated.
Mat 24:30 And then will be seen the signal of the Son of man in heaven: and then will all the tribes of the earth mourn, when they see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he will send his angels with a great trumpet and they will collect together his elect from the four winds, from one extremity of heaven to the other.
Mat 24:32 And learn ye an illustration from the fig-tree. As soon as its branches become tender and its leaves shoot forth, ye know that summer is coming on.
Mat 24:33 So also ye, when ye perceive all these things, know ye, that he is nigh, [even] at the door.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say to you, That this generation shall not pass away, till all these things shall be.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away; but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and of that hour, knoweth no man, nor even the angels of heaven, but the Father only.
Mat 24:37 And as the days of Noah, so will the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as, before the flood, they were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving to husbands, up to the day that Noah entered the ark,
Mat 24:39 and knew not, until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:40 Then will two [men] be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 Two [women] will be grinding at the mill; the one taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 Watch, therefore, since ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have been awake, and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.
Mat 24:44 Therefore, be ye also ready; for at an hour ye do not expect, the Son of man will come.
Mat 24:45 Who then, is that faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath placed over his domestics, to give them their food in its time?
Mat 24:46 Happy is that servant, whom, when his lord shall come, he will find so doing.
Mat 24:47 Verily I say to you, He will place him over all that he hath.
Mat 24:48 But if that servant, being wicked, shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Mat 24:49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall be eating and drinking with drunkards;
Mat 24:50 the lord of that servant will come in a day he will not expect, and in an hour he knoweth not,
Mat 24:51 and will cut him asunder, and will assign him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 25:1 Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Mat 25:3 And the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
Mat 25:4 But the wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep.
Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out.
Mat 25:9 The wise answered and said: [We must refuse,] lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13 Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not the day nor the hour.
Mat 25:14 For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;
Mat 25:15 to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
Mat 25:16 Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
Mat 25:17 And likewise: the one of two [talents], by trading gained two more.
Mat 25:18 But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Mat 25:19 And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
Mat 25:20 And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
Mat 25:21 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Mat 25:22 And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
Mat 25:23 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the Joy of thy lord.
Mat 25:24 And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
Mat 25:25 and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine.
Mat 25:26 His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant ! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
Mat 25:27 Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest.
Mat 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
Mat 25:29 For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
Mat 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 25:31 And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.
Mat 25:32 And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth the sheep from the goats.
Mat 25:33 And he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
Mat 25:34 Then will the king say to those on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
