And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." 22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the 23 hands of men; and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up.

saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from 26 strangers? And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. 27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a 'shekel: that take, and give unto 6 Gr. stater. them for me and thee.

18 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,

Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 7 Gr. greater. 2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in 3 the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the 'greatest in the kingdom 5 of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little 6 child in my name receiveth me: but whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on me to

Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to 8 that man through whom the occasion cometh!

And if thy brother sin against thee, go, shew him 15 his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he hear 16 thee not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established. And if he refuse to hear them, tell it 17 6 Or, congregation unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye 18 shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, that if two 19 of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Then came Peter, and said to him, Lord, how oft 21 shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not 22 7 Or, seventy times unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven 23 likened unto a certain king, which would make a 8 Gr. bondservants. reckoning with his servants.

But forasmuch as 25 he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all 10 Gr. bondservant. that he had, and payment to be made.

27 thee all. And the lord of that 'servant, being moved 1 Gr. bondservant. with compassion, released him, and forgave him the 28 'debt. But that 'servant went out, and found one 2 Gr. loan. of his fellow-servants, which owed him a hundred 3 Spence: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the 29 throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. So his fellowservant fell down and besought him, saying, Have 30 patience with me, and I will pay thee. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till 31 he should pay that which was due. So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all 32 that was done. Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked 'servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fel34 low-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? And his

lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, 35 till he should pay all that was due. So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. 19 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the 2 borders of Judæa beyond Jordan; and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 3 And there came unto him Pharisees, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away 4 his wife for every cause? And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he which "made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the 6 twain shall become one flesh? So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God 7 hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give 8 a bill of divorcement, 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 begin9 ning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, 'except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: 'and he that marrieth her when she is put away 10 committeth adultery. The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not 11 expedient to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but they to whom it 12 is given.

Then were there brought unto him little children, 13 that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer 14 the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is* the kingdom of heaven. And he 15 laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say 23 unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It 24 is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And when the disciples heard it, they were 25 astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them said to them, 26 With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Then answered Peter and said unto 27 him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? And Jesus said unto them, 28 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 they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and 6 did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto 7 them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He 8 saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. 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. 10 And when the first came, they supposed that they

would receive more; and they likewise received 11 every man a penny. And when they received it, 12 they murmured against the householder, saying,

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said 18 unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, 19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock,
