And 18 good save Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit God. See adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear Luke xviii. false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, 19 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young 20 man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou 21 wouldest be perfect, go, sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. But when the young man heard 22 the saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions. 19. And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto 23 you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a 24 camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And when the dis-25 ciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon 26 them said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Then answered 27 Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? And Jesus 28 said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left houses, or 29 brethren; or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredwife: as in fold, and shall inherit eternal life. But many shall be 30 last that are first; and first that are last.

And when he had agreed with the 2 ginal note labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and 3 2 Many ancient authorities add or Luke xviii. 29. ancient read mani 4 See mar 4 4 saw others standing in the marketplace idle; and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went 5 their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the 6 ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. 8 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 1 See mar10 And when the first came, they supposed that they on ch. xviii. would receive more; and they likewise received every 11 man a 1penny. And when they received it, they 12 murmured against the householder, saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day 13 and the scorching heat. But he answered and said 'Or, hot to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not 14 thou agree with me for a penny? Take up that 1 which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give 15 unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye 16 evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last. 17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto 18 them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and 19 scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up. 20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a 21 certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and ginal note 28. wind one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. But Jesus 22 answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able. He saith unto them, My 23 cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give, but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. And when the ten heard it, they were moved 24 with indignation concerning the two brethren. Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Not so 26 shall it be among you: but whosoever would become 1Or,servant great among you shall be your minister; and who- 27 soever would be first among you shall be your servant. But 25 2 Gr. bond- 2 servant: even as the Son of man came not to be 28 ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. And as they went out from Jericho, a great multi- 29 tude followed him. And behold, two blind men sitting 30 by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, 31 that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and 32 said, What will ye that I should do unto you? They 33 say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched 34 their eyes and straightway they received their sight, and followed him. And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came 21 unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the 2 village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any one say aught 3 unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. Now this is come 4 Or,through to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, And upon a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus ap7 pointed them, and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. 8 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from 9 the trees, and spread them in the way. And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna 10 in the highest. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. 12 1 ancient omit of God And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and Many cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, authorities and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and 13 the seats of them that sold the doves; and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple: 15 and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with 16 indignation, and said unto him, Hearest thou 'what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and 17 sucklings thou hast perfected praise? And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. 18 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he 19 hungered. And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he or,a single came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig 20 tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away? And Jesus answered and said unto 21 them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, 22 believing, ye shall receive. And when he was come into the temple, the chief 23 priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will 24 1 Gr. word. ask you one 'question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The 25 baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him? But if we shall say, 26 From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet. And they answered Jesus, and said, We 27 know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. But what think 28 ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, * Gr. Child. and said, 'Son, go work to day in the vineyard. And he 29 answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went. And he came to the second, and said so likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of the twain did the will of his father? 31 They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto 32 you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him. not but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him. Hear another parable: There was a man that was a 33 householder, which planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. And when the season of the fruits 34 3 Gr. bond- drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to servants. |
