Owe. 29 Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all. 30 And he would not; but went and threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 When his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sad, and went and made known to their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me. 3 Ought you not to have had mercy on your fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you? 34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him. 35 So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if, from your hearts, you forgive not every one his brother's offenses.

XIX. And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan. And many multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.

And the Pharisees came to him to tempt him, and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh? So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder.

They said to him: Why, then, did Moses command us to give a bill of divorce and put her away? He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was

not so.

But I say to you, That whoever puts away his wife, unless for lewdness, and marries another, commits adultery; and he that marries her that is put away, commits adultery.

11

10 His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry. But he said to them: All can not accept this saying; only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.

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

16 And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him: 17 Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is God. But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He said to him: Which? Jesus replied: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony; 19 Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 20 The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack? 21 Jesus said to him: If you would be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow 22 When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved; for he had great possessions.

me.

23 Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, A rich man

will with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When the disciples heard it, they were greatly amazed, and said: Who, then, can be saved? 26 But Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.

27 Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have? 28 Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, That, in the restoration, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

XX. For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market, idle; and he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went. Again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did in like manner. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle? They said to him: No man has hired us. He said to them: Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.

7

When the evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to

his steward: Call the laborers, and, beginning with the last, pay them their hire even to the first. And when those came who had been hired about the eleventh hour, they received each one a denarius. 10 But when those came who had been hired first, they thought that they would receive more; and they received each one a denarius. 11 And when they received it, they murmured against the master of the house, 12 saying: These last have worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the heat. 13 But he answered and said to one of them: Friend, I do you no injustice; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours, and go; I will give to this last even as to you. 16 Is it not allowed me to do what I will with my own? Or, is your eye envious, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside on his journey, and said to them: 18 Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19 and will deliver him to the Gentiles to deride, and to scourge, and to crucify: and on the third day he shall rise again.

20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something of him. 21 He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to

him: We are able. 23 And he said to them: You shall drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.

24 And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister. 27 And whoever will be first among you, let him be your servant; 28 even as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 And behold, two blind men, sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David. 31 And the multitude charged them to be silent. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David. 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you? 33 They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and their eyes immediately received sight, and they followed him.

XXI. 1And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them: Go into the village opposite to you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me. 3 And if any one say any thing to you, you shall reply: The Lord has need of them: and he
