Young's Literal Translation
In
the meantime,
a
crowd
of many
thousands
had
gathered, so that
they
were
trampling
one another .
Jesus
began to speak
first
to
His disciples :
“Beware
of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy .
At
which
time
the myriads
of the
multitude
having
been
gathered together
, so as
to
tread
upon
one another ,
he
began to say
unto
his disciples ,
first,
`Take
heed
to
yourselves
of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy ;
There is nothing concealed
that will
not be disclosed,
and nothing
hidden
that will
not be made
known .
and
there is nothing covered,
that shall
not be revealed;
and hid,
that shall
not be known ;
What
you
have
spoken
in the dark
will
be
heard
in the daylight,
and what you
have
whispered
in the inner rooms
will
be proclaimed from
the housetops
.
because
whatever
in the darkness
ye
said,
in the light
shall
be
heard:
and what to
the
ear
ye
spake
in the inner -chambers,
shall
be proclaimed upon
the house-tops
.
I tell
you, My friends, do
not
be afraid of those who
kill
the body and after that
can
do no
more.
`And
I say
to
you, my friends, be not
afraid of those killing
the body ,
and after these
things
are
not
having
anything
over
to
do ;
But I will show you whom you
should
fear :
Fear the
One
who, after you
have
been
killed
, has
authority to throw
you
into
hell.
Yes, I tell
you, fear Him !
but I will show to
you ,
whom ye
may
fear ;
Fear him
who, after the
killing
, is
having
authority to cast
to
the
gehenna;
yes, I say
to
you, Fear ye
Him .
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies
? Yet
not
one of them is forgotten by
God .
`
Are not five sparrows sold for two assars
? and
one of them is not
forgotten before
God ,
And
even the very
hairs of your head are
all numbered .
So
do
not
be
afraid
; you
are
worth
more
than many sparrows.
but
even the hairs of your head have
been
all numbered; therefore
fear
ye
not,
than many sparrows ye
are
of
more
value
.
I tell
you, everyone
who
confesses
Me before men, the Son of Man will
also confess him before the angels
of God .
`And
I say
to
you, Every
one
--
whoever
may
confess
with
me before men, the Son of Man also shall
confess with
him before the messengers
of God ,
But
whoever
denies
Me before men will
be denied before the angels
of God .
and
he
who
hath
denied
me before men ,
shall
be denied before the messengers
of God ,
And everyone
who
speaks
a word against
the Son of Man will
be forgiven, but whoever
blasphemes
against
the Holy Spirit will
not be forgiven.
and every
one
whoever
shall
say
a word to
the Son of Man ,
it
shall
be forgiven to
him
, but to
him
who
to
the Holy Spirit did
speak
evil,
it
shall
not be forgiven.
When you are
brought
before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do
not worry
about
how to
defend
yourselves
or what to
say .
`And
when they
bring
you before the
synagogues, and
the
rulers, and the
authorities, be
not anxious
how or what ye
may
reply,
or
what
ye
may
say ,
For at
that
time
the Holy Spirit will
teach you what you should
say. ”
for the Holy Spirit shall
teach you in
that
hour
what it
behoveth
`
you '
to
say. '
Someone
in
the
crowd
said to Him, “
Teacher, tell
my brother to divide the
inheritance
with me. ”
And
a
certain
one
said to him, out
of
the
multitude,
`
Teacher, say
to
my brother to divide with me the
inheritance
. '
But
Jesus
replied
, “
Man, who appointed
Me judge or executor
between
you? ”
And
he
said
to
him
, `
Man, who set
me a
judge or a
divider
over
you? '
And He said to
them, “Watch
out!
Guard
yourselves
against
every
form
of greed
, for
one’s
life
does
not consist
in the abundance of his possessions
. ”
And he said unto
them, `Observe,
and
beware
of the
covetousness
, because
not in the abundance of one's
goods
is
his life
. '
Then
He told
them
a parable:
“The
ground
of a certain rich man produced
an
abundance.
And
he spake
a simile
unto
them,
saying,
`
Of a certain rich man the
field
brought
forth
well;
So
he thought
to
himself, ‘
What shall I do, since
I have nowhere
to
store
my crops
? ’
and
he was
reasoning
within
himself, saying,
What shall I do, because
I have not
where
I
shall
gather
together
my fruits
?
Then
he said, ‘
This is
what
I will do :
I will tear
down my barns
and will build bigger
ones
, and there
I will store
up
all my grain
and my goods.
and
he said, This I will do ,
I will take
down my storehouses,
and greater
ones
I
will build, and I will gather
together
there
all my products
and my good
things,
Then
I will say to myself
, “You
have
plenty
of
good things laid up for many years .
Take
it
easy.
Eat, drink, and
be merry !”’
and
I will say to my
soul
, Soul,
thou
hast
many
good things laid up for many years ,
be
resting,
eat, drink, be merry .
But
God said to him, ‘You
fool
! This very
night your
life
will
be
required
of
you.
Then
who
will
own
what you
have
accumulated
? ’
`And
God said to him, Unthinking
one
! this night thy
soul
they
shall
require
from
thee,
and
what things
thou
didst
prepare
--
to
whom
shall
they
be
?
This
is how
it
will
be
for
anyone
who stores
up treasure
for
himself but
is not rich toward God. ”
so
`
is '
he
who is
treasuring
up to
himself ,
and
is not rich toward God. '
Then
Jesus
said to
His disciples, “Therefore
I
tell
you, do
not worry
about
your life, what you
will
eat ,
or
about
your
body, what you
will
wear.
And
he
said unto
his disciples, `Because
of
this,
to
you I
say
, Be
not anxious
for
your life, what ye
may
eat ;
nor
for
the
body, what ye
may
put
on;
For
life is more than food
, and the body more
than clothes
.
the
life is more than the
nourishment
, and the body than the
clothing
.
Consider the ravens :
They do
not
sow or
reap, they
have
no storehouse
or
barn ;
yet
God feeds
them .
How much more
valuable
you
are than the birds!
`
Consider the ravens ,
that
they sow not,
nor
reap, to
which
there
is
no barn nor
storehouse,
and
God doth
nourish
them ;
how much better
are ye
than the fowls?
Who of you by
worrying
can
add a
single
hour
to his life
?
and
who of you ,
being
anxious,
is
able
to
add to his age
one
cubit
?
So
if you
cannot
do
such
a
small
thing
, why do
you
worry
about
the rest?
If, then,
ye
are
not
able
for
the
least
--
why for
the rest are
ye
anxious
?
Consider how
the lilies grow :
They do
not labor
or
spin .
Yet
I tell
you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned
like
one of these .
`
Consider the lilies ,
how
do
they
grow ?
they labour
not ,
nor
do
they
spin ,
and
I say
to
you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed
as
one of these ;
If that
is
how
God
clothes
the grass
of
the field, which
is here
today
and tomorrow
is
thrown
into the
furnace
, how much more will
He
clothe
you ,
O
you
of little faith !
and
if the herbage
in
the field, that
to-day
is ,
and to-morrow
into an
oven
is
cast
, God
doth
so
clothe,
how much more you --
ye
of little faith ?
And do
not be
concerned
about
what you
will
eat or drink .
Do
not worry
about
it.
`
And ye
--
seek
not what ye
may
eat ,
or what
ye
may
drink ,
and
be
not in
suspense,
For the Gentiles
of the world strive
after all
these
things
, and your Father knows
that you
need them.
for all
these
things
do
the nations
of the world seek
after, and your Father hath
known
that ye
have
need of
these
things;
But seek His
kingdom
, and these things will
be added unto
you.
but ,
seek ye
the
reign
of
God
, and all
these things shall
be added to
you.
Do
not be
afraid
, little flock, for
your Father is
pleased
to give you the kingdom.
`Fear
not, little flock, because
your Father did
delight
to give you the reign;
Sell your possessions
and give to the
poor.
Provide
yourselves with
purses
that will
not wear
out
, an
inexhaustible
treasure in heaven
, where no
thief approaches
and
no
moth destroys.
sell your goods,
and give alms,
make
to yourselves bags
that become
not old
, a
treasure unfailing
in the
heavens
, where thief doth
not
come
near,
nor
moth destroy;
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
.
for where your treasure is, there also
your heart will be.
Be dressed
for
service
and keep
your
lamps burning .
`Let
your
loins
be girded,
and the
lamps burning ,
Then
you
will
be
like servants
waiting for their master
to
return from
the wedding banquet
, so
that when
he comes
and knocks
, they can
open the
door
for
him at
once
.
and
ye
like to
men
waiting for their lord,
when
he
shall
return out
of
the wedding feasts
, that he having
come
and knocked
, immediately
they may
open to
him.
Blessed
are
those servants whom the master
finds
on
watch
when
he
returns.
Truly
I tell
you, he will dress
himself to
serve
and will have
them recline at the
table
, and he
himself
will
come and
wait
on
them .
`Happy
those servants ,
whom the lord,
having
come,
shall
find
watching;
verily
I say
to
you, that
he will gird
himself ,
and will cause
them to
recline (
at meat)
, and having
come near,
will
minister
to
them ;
Even
if he comes
in the second or
third
watch of
the night
and finds
them
alert
, those servants will
be
blessed
.
and
if he may
come
in the second watch ,
and
in
the third
watch
he
may
come,
and may
find
`it'
so
, happy
are
those servants.
But
understand
this :
If the homeowner
had known at
what hour the thief was
coming
, he would not have let
his house be broken into.
`And
this know,
that
if the master
of
the
house
had known what hour the thief doth
come
, he would have
watched,
and
would
not have suffered
his house to
be broken through;
You
also
must
be
ready, because the Son of Man will
come at
an
hour
you
do
not
expect
. ”
and
ye,
then,
become
ye
ready, because at
the hour
ye
think
not,
the
Son of Man doth
come. '
“Lord,”
said
Peter ,
“are
You
addressing
this
parable
to us, or to
everyone
else
as
well
? ”
And
Peter said
to him,
`Sir,
unto
us this
simile
dost
thou
speak
, or also
unto
all
? '
And the Lord answered
, “
Who then is the faithful and wise
manager,
whom the master
puts
in
charge
of
his servants
to give them
their
portion
at
the proper
time
?
And the Lord said
, `
Who ,
then ,
is the faithful and prudent
steward
whom the lord
shall
set
over
his household,
to give in
season
the wheat
measure
?
Blessed
is
that servant whose
master
finds
him
doing so when
he
returns.
Happy
that servant ,
whom
his
lord,
having
come,
shall
find
doing so ;
Truly I tell
you, he will put
him in
charge
of
all
his
possessions
.
truly I say
to
you, that
over
all
his
goods
he will set
him.
But
suppose
that servant says
in his heart, ‘
My master
will
be
a
long
time
in
coming
, ’
and he
begins
to beat the menservants
and maidservants
, and
to eat and drink and get
drunk.
`And
if
that servant may
say
in his heart, My lord
doth
delay
to
come
, and may
begin
to beat the men-servants
and the
maid-servants
, to eat also,
and to
drink ,
and to
be
drunken;
The master
of that servant will come on
a day he does
not expect
and at
an hour he does
not anticipate.
Then
he
will cut him to
pieces
and assign
him
a
place
with the unbelievers
.
the lord
of that servant will come in
a day in
which
he doth
not look
for
`him',
and in
an hour that
he doth
not know,
and
will cut him off,
and his
portion
with the unfaithful
he
will
appoint
.
That servant who knows
his master’s
will but
does
not get
ready
or
follow
his instructions
will be beaten with many blows.
`And
that servant ,
who having
known
his lord's
will ,
and
not having
prepared,
nor
having
gone
according
to
his will ,
shall
be beaten with many stripes,
But
the
one
who unknowingly
does
things worthy of punishment
will
be beaten with few blows.
From
everyone
who
has
been
given
much, much will
be required ;
and
from him who
has
been
entrusted
with
much, even
more will be
demanded
.
and
he
who ,
not
having
known,
and
having
done
things worthy of stripes,
shall
be beaten with few ;
and
to
every
one
to
whom
much was
given
, much shall
be required from him ;
and
to
whom
they
did
commit
much, more abundantly
they
will ask
of
him
.
I have
come
to ignite
a
fire
on
the earth, and how
I wish
it
were
already kindled !
`Fire
I came
to cast
to
the earth, and what
will
I if
already it
was
kindled ?
But I have a baptism to undergo
, and how distressed
I
am until
it is
accomplished
!
but I have a baptism to be
baptized
with
, and how am I
pressed
till
it may
be
completed
!
Do
you
think that I
have
come
to
bring
peace to the earth? No, I tell
you, but division .
`
Think ye
that peace I
came
to give
in
the earth? no, I say
to
you, but rather
division ;
From
now
on,
five in one household
will
be
divided ,
three against two and two against three .
for
there
shall
be
henceforth
five in one house
divided --
three against two ,
and two against three ;
They
will
be divided ,
father
against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. ”
a
father
shall
be divided against a
son ,
and a
son against a
father, a
mother against a
daughter ,
and a
daughter against a
mother, a
mother-in-law against her
daughter-in-law ,
and a
daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law. '
Then
Jesus
said to the crowds
, “As
soon
as
you
see a
cloud rising in
the west, you
say, ‘
A shower is
coming
, ’
and that
is what
happens.
And
he
said also
to the multitudes
, `When
ye
may
see the
cloud rising from
the west, immediately
ye
say, A shower doth
come
, and it
is so;
And when the
south wind blows
, you
say, ‘It
will be hot
, ’
and it is .
and when --
a
south wind blowing
, ye
say, that
there
will be heat
, and it is ;
You
hypocrites! You
know
how
to
interpret
the appearance
of the earth and sky.
Why
don’t
you
know
how
to
interpret
the present
time?
hypocrites! the face
of the earth and of
the heaven
ye
have
known
to
make
proof
of,
but
this
time --
how
do
ye
not
make
proof
of
`it'
?
And why don’t
you
judge
for
yourselves what is right
?
`
And why ,
also,
of
yourselves ,
judge
ye
not
what is righteous
?
Make
every
effort
to
reconcile
with your
adversary
while
you
are
on
your
way
to the magistrate.
Otherwise
, he may drag you
off
to
the judge, and the judge may hand
you
over
to the officer, and the officer may throw
you
into prison .
for,
as
thou
art
going
away
with thy
opponent
to the ruler
, in
the
way
give
diligence
to
be
released
from
him,
lest
he may drag thee
unto
the judge, and the judge may deliver
thee
to the officer, and the officer may cast
thee
into prison ;
I tell
you
, you
will
not get
out
until
you
have
paid
the very
last penny
. ”
I say
to
thee
, thou
mayest
not come
forth
thence
till
even
the last mite
thou
mayest
give
back
. '
