other

, when there

gathered together an
innumerable

unto
his disciples first of all, Beware ye
of the leaven
of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
But
there is nothing covered up
, that will
not be revealed ,
nor
hidden
, that will
not be known.
For
there is nothing covered, that shall
not be revealed ;
neither
hid
, that shall
not be known.
Therefore whatever
you
have said
in the
darkness will
be heard in the light .
What
you
have spoken in the ear in the
inner
chambers
will
be proclaimed on
the housetops.
Therefore whatsoever
ye
have spoken
in darkness shall
be heard in the light ;
and
that
which

be proclaimed upon
the housetops.
"
I tell
you ,
my friends, don't
be afraid of those
who
kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
And
I say
unto
you my friends, Be not
afraid of them
that
kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
But I will warn
you whom you
should
fear .
Fear him, who
after he has
killed ,
has
power to cast into Gehenna.
Yes
, I tell
you, fear him.
But I will forewarn
you whom ye
shall
fear :
Fear him, which
after he hath
killed hath
power to cast into hell;
yea
, I say
unto
you, Fear him.

coins?
Not one of them is forgotten by
God .

not
five sparrows sold for two farthings,
and
not one of them is forgotten before
God ?
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't
be
afraid.
You
are of more value than many sparrows.
But even
the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear
not
therefore :
ye
are of more value than many sparrows.
"
I tell
you, everyone
who
confesses
me before men, him will
the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God ;
Also
I say
unto
you, Whosoever
shall
confess
me before men, him shall
the Son of man also confess before the angels of God :
but he who
denies
me in
the
presence
of
men will
be denied in
the
presence
of
the angels of God.
But he that
denieth
me before
men shall
be denied before
the angels of God.

who
speaks
a word against the Son of Man will
be forgiven ,
but those
who
blaspheme
against the Holy Spirit
will
not be forgiven.

a word against the Son of man ,
it
shall
be forgiven him:
but unto
him
that
blasphemeth
against the Holy Ghost
it
shall
not be forgiven.

how or what you
will
answer, or what you
will

when they bring you unto
the synagogues, and
unto

said to
him, "Teacher
, tell
my brother to
divide the inheritance with me. "
And
one of the company
said unto
him, Master
, speak
to
my brother ,
that
he
divide the inheritance with me.
But
he said to
him, "
Man, who made me a judge or an
arbitrator
over you? "
And
he said unto
him, Man, who made me a judge or a
divider
over you?
He said to
them, "
Beware !
Keep
yourselves
from
covetousness ,
for a man's life doesn't
consist
of
the abundance of the things which he possesses
. "
And
he said unto
them, Take
heed,
and
beware of
covetousness :
for a man's life consisteth
not
in
the abundance of the things which he possesseth
.
He spoke
a parable to
them, saying, "
The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
And
he spake
a parable unto
them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
He reasoned
within himself, saying, '
What will
I do, because I don't
have room to store
my crops
? '
And
he thought
within himself, saying, What shall
I do, because I have no
room where
to bestow
my fruits
?
He said, '
This is
what
I
will do .
I will pull down my barns, and build bigger
ones,
and there I
will store
all my grain
and my goods.
And
he said, This will I
do :
I will pull down my barns, and build greater;
and there will I
bestow
all my fruits
and my goods.
I will tell
my soul, "
Soul, you
have
many
goods laid up for many years .
Take your
ease, eat, drink, be merry. "'
And
I will say
to
my soul, Soul, thou
hast
much
goods laid up for many years ;
take thine
ease, eat, drink, and
be merry.
"
But God said to
him, 'You
foolish
one
, tonight
your
soul is
required of you.
The
things
which
you
have
prepared--
whose will
they
be? '
But God said unto
him, Thou
fool
, this
night
thy
soul shall
be
required of thee:
then
whose shall
those
things
be ,
which
thou
hast
provided
?
So is he who
lays
up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. "

He said to
his disciples, "
Therefore I tell
you, don't
be
anxious
for your life, what you
will
eat ,
nor
yet
for your
body, what you
will
wear
.
And
he said unto
his disciples, Therefore I say
unto
you, Take
no
thought
for your life, what ye
shall
eat ;
neither
for the
body, what ye
shall
put
on
.
Life is more than food
, and the body is more than clothing
.
The
life is more than meat
, and the body is more than raiment
.
Consider the ravens: they don't
sow ,
they
don't
reap ,
they
have no
warehouse
or
barn ,
and God feeds
them .
How much more valuable
are you
than birds!
Consider the ravens: for
they neither
sow nor
reap ;
which
neither
have storehouse
nor
barn ;
and God feedeth
them :
how much more are ye
better
than the
fowls?
Which of you by
being
anxious
can add a
cubit
to his height
?
And
which of you with
taking
thought
can add to his stature
one
cubit
?
If then you
aren't
able to do even
the
least things
, why are
you
anxious
about
the rest?
If ye
then be
not
able to do that
thing
which
is
least, why take
ye
thought
for
the rest?
Consider the lilies ,
how they grow .
They don't
toil, neither
do
they spin; yet I tell
you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Consider the lilies how they grow :
they toil not
, they spin not
; and
yet I say
unto
you, that
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
But
if this
is
how
God clothes
the grass in the field, which
today
exists,
and tomorrow
is cast into the oven ,
how much more will he clothe you, O you
of little faith?
If then
God so
clothe
the grass ,
which
is
to
day
in the field, and to
morrow
is cast into the oven ;
how much more will he clothe you, O ye
of little faith?
Don't
seek what you
will
eat or what you
will
drink ;
neither be anxious
.
And
seek not
ye
what ye
shall
eat ,
or what ye
shall
drink ,
neither be ye
of
doubtful
mind
.
For the nations of the world seek after all
of
these
things,
but
your Father knows
that you
need these things.
For all
these
things
do
the nations of the world seek after :
and
your Father knoweth
that ye
have
need of
these things.
But seek God's
Kingdom ,
and all these things will
be added to
you.
But rather
seek ye
the
kingdom of
God;
and all these things shall
be added unto
you.
Don't
be
afraid
, little flock ,
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Fear
not
, little flock ;
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Sell that which
you
have, and give gifts
to
the
needy.
Make
for
yourselves purses
which don't
grow
old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn't
fail
, where no thief approaches
, neither moth destroys
.
Sell that ye
have, and give alms;
provide
yourselves bags
which wax
not
old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth
not
, where no thief approacheth
, neither moth corrupteth
.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
"
Let your loins be girded and your lamps
burning .
Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights
burning ;
Be
like men watching
for their lord, when he returns
from the marriage
feast
; that ,
when he comes
and knocks
, they may immediately
open to
him.
And
ye
yourselves
like unto
men that
wait
for their lord, when he will
return
from the wedding
; that when he cometh
and knocketh
, they may open unto
him immediately
.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will
find
watching
when he comes.
Most
assuredly
I tell
you, that he will
dress
himself, and make them recline
, and will come and serve them.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh
shall
find
watching:
verily
I say
unto
you, that he shall
gird
himself, and make them to
sit
down
to
meat
, and will come forth
and serve them.
They
will
be
blessed
if he comes
in the second or third watch, and finds
them so.
And
if he shall
come
in the second watch,
or come
in
the
third watch, and find
them so ,
blessed
are
those
servants
.
But
know
this, that if the master
of the house had known in
what hour the thief was
coming
, he would have watched, and not allowed
his house to be broken into
.
And
this know
, that if the goodman
of the house had known what hour the thief would
come
, he would have watched, and not have
suffered
his house to be broken through
.
Therefore
be ready also ,
for the Son of Man is
coming
in
an hour that
you
don't
expect
him
. "
Be ye
therefore
ready also :
for the Son of man cometh
at
an hour when
ye
think
not
.
Peter said to
him, "
Lord, are
you
telling
this parable to
us, or to everybody
? "
Then
Peter said unto
him, Lord, speakest
thou
this parable unto
us, or even
to all
?
The Lord said, "
Who then is the
faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will
set
over his household, to give them their portion of food
at
the
right
times
?
And
the Lord said, Who then is that
faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall
make
ruler
over his household, to give them their portion of meat
in
due
season
?
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will
find
doing
so
when he comes
.
Blessed is that servant ,
whom his lord when he cometh
shall
find
so
doing
.
Truly
I tell
you, that he will set
him over all that he has
.
Of
a
truth
I say
unto
you, that he will make
him ruler
over all that he hath
.
But if that servant says
in his heart, '
My lord delays
his coming ,'
and begins
to beat the menservants and the
maidservants
, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken ,
But and
if that servant say
in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming ;
and shall
begin
to beat the menservants and maidens
, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken ;
then
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn't
expecting
him, and in
an hour that
he doesn't
know
, and will cut him in two
, and place
his portion with the unfaithful
.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh
not
for
him, and at
an hour when
he is
not
aware
, and will cut him in sunder
, and will
appoint
him
his portion with the unbelievers
.
That servant, who
knew his lord's will, and didn't
prepare,
nor
do
what
he
wanted
, will be beaten with many stripes ,
And
that servant, which
knew his lord's will, and prepared
not
himself
, neither
did
according
to
his
will ,
shall
be beaten with many stripes .
but he who
didn't
know
, and did things worthy of stripes, will
be beaten with few stripes. To
whoever
much is given, of him will
much
be required ;
and to whom much was
entrusted
, of him more
will be
asked
.
But he that
knew
not
, and did commit
things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten with few stripes. For
unto
whomsoever
much is given, of him shall
be much
required :
and to whom men
have
committed
much, of him they
will ask
the
more
.
"
I came
to throw
fire on the earth .
I wish
it were
already kindled .
I am
come
to send
fire on the earth ;
and
what
will
I ,
if
it be
already kindled ?
But I have a baptism to be baptized with ,
and how distressed
I
am until
it is
accomplished!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with ;
and how am I
straitened
till
it be
accomplished!
Do
you
think
that I have
come to give peace in
the
earth? I tell you, no,
but rather division .
Suppose
ye
that I am
come to give peace on
earth? I tell you, Nay;
but rather division :
For from now
on,
there will
be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
For from henceforth
there shall
be 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 her
mother; mother -
in -
law against her daughter -
in -
law, and daughter -
in -
law against her mother -
in -
law. "
The
father
shall
be divided against the
son, and the
son against the
father; the
mother against the
daughter, and the
daughter against the
mother; the
mother in law against her daughter in law, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
He said to the multitudes
also
, "
When you
see a cloud rising
from
the west, immediately
you
say, '
A shower is
coming,'
and so it happens
.
And
he said also
to the people
, When ye
see a cloud rise
out
of
the west, straightway
ye
say, There
cometh
a shower ;
and so it is
.
When a
south wind blows
, you
say, '
There will be a
scorching
heat ,'
and it happens
.
And
when ye
see
the
south wind blow
, ye
say, There will be heat ;
and it cometh
to
pass
.
You
hypocrites !
You
know
how
to
interpret
the appearance
of the earth
and the sky,
but how is it that you
don't
interpret
this time?
Ye
hypocrites ,
ye
can
discern
the face
of the sky
and of
the earth;
but how is it that ye
do
not
discern
this time?
Why don't
you
judge
for
yourselves what is right?
Yea,
and
why even
of
yourselves judge
ye
not
what is right?
For
when you
are
going
with your
adversary before
the magistrate, try
diligently
on
the way to
be released
from him ,
lest perhaps
he drag
you
to the judge, and the judge deliver you
to the officer, and the officer throw
you
into prison.
When thou
goest
with thine
adversary to
the magistrate, as
thou
art
in
the way ,
give
diligence
that
thou
mayest
be delivered
from him ;
lest he hale
thee
to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
to the officer, and the officer cast
thee
into prison.
I tell you
, you
will
by
no
means
get
out
of
there
, until
you
have
paid the very last penny
. "
I tell thee
, thou
shalt
not
depart
thence
, till
thou
hast
paid the very last mite
.
