But a certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:

And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And on the
morrow when he departed, he took out two
pence,
and gave them to the host,
and said unto him, Take care of him;
and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
The next day he took out two
denarii and gave them to the
innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘
and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’

She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet
listening to His message.
But
Martha was
cumbered about much serving,
and came to him,
and said, Lord,
dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me.
But
Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus
and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
And Jesus answered
and said unto her,
Martha,
Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,
and shall go unto him at
midnight,
and say unto him, Friend,
lend me three
loaves;
Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at
midnight and says, ‘Friend,
lend me three
loaves of bread,

because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’
I say unto you, Though he will not rise
and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his
importunity he will rise
and give him as many as he needeth.
I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s
persistence, he will get up
and give him as much as he needs.
And I say unto you, Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find;
knock,
and it shall be opened unto you.
So I tell you: Ask,
and it will be given to you; seek,
and you will find;
knock,
and the door will be opened to you.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
For
everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

and it was
dumb.

tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to
desolation;
and a house divided against a house falleth.
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

and garnished.

and dwell there.
And the final
plight of that man is worse than the first.”
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice,
and said unto him, Blessed is the
womb that bare thee,
and the paps which thou hast
sucked.
As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice
and said, “Blessed is the
womb that bore You,
and blessed are the breasts that
nursed You!”
But he said,
Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God,
and keep it.
But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
and now One greater than Solomon is here.
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall
condemn it: for they
repented at the preaching of
Jonas;

Jonas is here.

Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation
and condemn it; for they
repented at the preaching of
Jonah,
and now One greater than
Jonah is here.
No man, when he hath lighted a
candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a
bushel, but on a
candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

and puts it in a
cellar or under a
basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
And as he spake, a certain
Pharisee besought him to
dine with him:
and he went in,
and sat down to meat.
As Jesus was speaking, a
Pharisee invited Him to
dine with him; so He went in
and reclined at the table.
But the
Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye
Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup
and the
platter; but your inward part is full of
ravening and wickedness.
“Now then,” said the Lord, “you
Pharisees clean the outside of the cup
and dish, but inside you are full of
greed and wickedness.
But rather give
alms of such things as ye have;
and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
But give as
alms the things that are within you,
and you will see that everything is clean for you.
But
woe unto you,
Pharisees! for ye
tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs,
and pass over judgment
and the love of God: these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone.
Woe to you
Pharisees! You pay
tithes of
mint,
rue,
and every
herb, but you disregard justice
and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
Woe unto you,
Pharisees! for ye love the
uppermost seats in the synagogues,
and greetings in the markets.
Woe to you
Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues
and the greetings in the marketplaces.

scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not,
and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You
insult us as well.”
And he said,
Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye
lade men with burdens
grievous to be borne,
and ye
yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
“
Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You
weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you
yourselves will not lift a finger to
lighten their load.
Woe unto you! for ye build the
sepulchres of the prophets,
and your fathers killed them.
Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them,
and ye build their
sepulchres.
So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets
and apostles,
and some of them they shall
slay and persecute:

and apostles; some of them they will kill
and others they will
persecute.’

Abel unto the blood of
Zacharias, which perished between the altar
and the temple:
verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

Abel to the blood of
Zechariah, who was killed between the altar
and the sanctuary.
Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in
yourselves,
and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You
yourselves have not entered,
and you have hindered those who were entering.”

scribes and Pharisees began to
oppose Him bitterly
and to
ply Him with questions about many things,

and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might
accuse him.
waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither
hid, that shall not be known.

Therefore
whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light;

daylight,
and what you have
whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

Are not five sparrows sold for two
pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be
forgiven.
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

and authorities, do not
worry about how to defend
yourselves or what to say.
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or
executor between you?”
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.
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 spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth
plentifully:
Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to
bestow my fruits?
So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
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.
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 I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink,
and be
merry.
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!”’
So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God.
This is how it will be for
anyone who stores up
treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
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.
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.
The life is more than meat,
and the body is more than
raiment.
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
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?
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!
And which of you with taking thought can add to his
stature one
cubit?
Who of you by
worrying can add a single hour to his life?
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.
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.
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?
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 seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not
worry about it.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
For the Gentiles of the world
strive after all these things,
and your Father knows that you need them.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
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.

girded about,
and your lights burning;
Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night
and finds them
alert, those servants will be blessed.
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.

thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
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?
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?
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
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.
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.
I am come to send fire on the earth;
and what will I if it be already
kindled?
I have come to
ignite a fire on the earth,
and how I wish it were already
kindled!
But I have a baptism to be
baptized with;
and how am I
straitened till it be accomplished!
But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
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.
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.”
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.
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 when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
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?
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?
And why don’t you judge for
yourselves what is right?
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.
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.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
To this He replied, “Do you think that these
Galileans were worse sinners than all the other
Galileans, because they suffered this fate?
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell,
and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam
collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard;
and he came
and sought fruit
thereon,
and found none.
Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his
vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
Then said he unto the dresser of his
vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree,
and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
So he said to the keeper of the
vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree
and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall
dig about it,
and dung it:
‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I
dig around it
and fertilize it.
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
