five talents; behold, I have gained five 21 other talents besides them. His lord said to him: Well, good and faithful bondsman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things, enter into the joy of thy lord. 22 And he that had received two talents came to [him] and said: [My] lord, thou deliveredst me two talents, behold I have gained two other talents besides them. 23 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondsman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy 24 lord. And he that had received the one talent, coming to [him] also, said: [My] lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering from where thou hast 25 not scattered, and being afraid I went

away and hid thy talent in the earth; 26 behold thou hast [that is] thine. And his lord answering said to him: Wicked and slothful bondsman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

27 thou oughtest then to have put my money to the moneychangers, and at my coming I should have got what is mine 28 with interest. Take, therefore, the talent from him, and give it to him that 29 has ten talents; for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance, but from him that has not that even which he has shall be taken 30 from him. And cast out the useless servant into the outer darkness, there shall be* weeping and* gnashing of teeth.

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon his throne of 32 glory, and all the nations shall be gathered before him, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and he will set the sheep on his right 34 hand and the goats on his left. Then shall the king say to those on his right hand: Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you.

* There is an article which makes these words more emphatic.

Then shall the righteous answer him saying: Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee 38 to drink; and when saw we thee a

stranger, and took thee in; or naked, 39 and clothed thee; and when saw we thee 40 ill or in prison, and came to thee? And the king answering shall say to them: Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me. 41 Then shall he say to those also on his left: Go from me, cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his 42 angels. For I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; and I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill and in prison, and

#ye did not visit me.

Then shall they also answer* saying: Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not † ministered to thee? 45 Then shall he answer them saying: Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, 46 neither have ye done it to me. these shall go away into everlasting punishment, and the righteous into life everlasting.

And

XXVI. And it came to pass when Jesus

had finished all these sayings, he said to 2 his disciples: Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. Then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest [who was] called Caiaphas, and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him; 5 but they said: Not in the feast, that there *T. R. adds, "him.'

⚫ be not a tumult among the people. But Jesus being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his • head as he lay [at table]. But the disciples seeing it became indignant saying: • To what end this waste? for this* might have been sold for much and been given 10 to the poor. But Jesus knowing [it] said to them: Why do ye trouble the woman? for she hath wrought a good 11 work towards me. For ye have the

poor always with you, but me ye have 12 not always. For in pouring out this

ointment on my body, she has done 13 it for my burying. Verily I say to you: Wherever these glad tidings shall be preached in the whole world, that also that she has done shall be spoken of for 14 a memorial of her. Then one of the twelve, he [who was] called Judas 15 Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said: What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you? And * T. R. reads this 'perfume.'
