So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let 7 not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, 8 and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been And I Whosoever shall put away say unto you, his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry Some another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth ancient 10 her when she is put away committeth adultery.

One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? And 18 Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear 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 would-21 est 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 the 22 saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions. 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 who 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 bre-29 thren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. But many shall be last 30 that are first; and first that are last. For the kingdom 20 of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the 2 labourers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his ch. xviii. 28. vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and 3 2 Many ancient authorities add or wife: read manifold. 4 See mar ginal note on 3 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. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a 'shilling. 10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every 11 man a 'shilling. 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, who have borne the burden of the day 13 and the scorching heat. But he answered and said 2 Or, hot wind to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not 14 thou agree with me for a 'shilling? Take up that 2 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 21 a 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 See march. xviii. 28. ginal note on Are ye one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. But Jesus 22 answered and said, Ye know not what ask. 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. But 25 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 26 so shall it be among you: but whosoever would be1 Or, servant come great among you shall be your 'minister; and 27 whosoever would be first among you shall be your 2 Gr. bondservant. 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 to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, 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 ancient 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 omit of God. 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. 2 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 20 fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately |
