"and female;"

5 and said, "For this cause, 66 a man shall leave his father " and mother, and cleave to "his wife and they two shall "be one flesh?"

6 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh: what therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give her a bill of divorcement, and so to put her away?

8 He saith to them, Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses suffered you to put away your wives; but, at the beginning it was not so:

9 and I tell you, Whosoever putteth away his wife, except on account of fornication, and marrieth another, committeth adultery and whoso marrieth her who is so put away, maketh her to commit adultery.

:

10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man with his wife be so, it is not good to marry:

11 but he said to them, All cannot receive this saying, but they only to whom it is given:

12 for, there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the

who is able to receive it, let him receive it.

13 Then were little children brought to him, that he might put his hands on them, and pray for them; and the disciples rebuked them:

14 but Jesus said, Suffer the little children to 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 thence.

16 And, behold, one came and said to him, Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 and he said to him, Why askest thou askest thou me concerning goodness? one only is good: Mark, x. 1 but, if thou wilt enter into life, 19. keep the commandments:

Luke, xvi

18 he saith to him, Which? Jesus said, "Thou shalt do Exod. xx. no murder, Thou shalt not "commit adultery, Thou shalt "not steal, Thou shalt not bear "false witness,

19"Honour thy father and "thy mother:" and, "Thou "shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

66

20 The young man saith to him, All these I have kept; what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go, sell that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have trea

sure in heaven: and come, follow me:

22 but, when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful; for he had many possessions.

23 Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I tell you, that a rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven:

24 and again I tell 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 And when his disciples heard this, they were exceed ingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 but Jesus, looking on them, 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 forsaken all, and followed thee; what then will be for us?

28 and Jesus said to them, Luke, xxii-29. Verily I tell you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also, who have followed me, shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel:

29 and every one who hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive for

them an hundred fold, and shall inherit eternal life.

30 But, many who are first, will be last; and who are last, will be first:

31 for, the kingdom of heaven is like an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard:

32 and when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

33 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace:

34 and he said to them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you: and they went away.

35 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

36 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing, and saith to them, Why stand ye here idle all the day?

were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every one a penny :

40 but, when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; yet they likewise received every one a penny:

41 and when they had received it, they murmured against the householder,

42 saying, These last have worked but one hour, yet thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day:

43 but he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

44 take that which is thine, and go away: I will give to this last, even as to thee:

45 is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? is thine eye evil, because I am good?

46 Thus, the last will be first, and the first last.

CHAPTER XX.

AND when Jesus was about

to go up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, on the way, and said to them:

2 Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemu him to death;

3 and will deliver him to the Gentiles, to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: but, on the third day he will rise again.

4 Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to him, with her sons, worshipping him, and asking something of him : 5 and he said to her, What wilt thou? and she said to him, That these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom:

6 but Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.

7 And he saith to them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup; but, to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, except to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

8 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers :

9 but Jesus called them to him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that are great exercise authority against them:

10 it is not so among you; but, whosoever wisheth to be great among you, shall be your minister;

11 and whosoever wisheth to

be chief among you, shall be your servant:

12 as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

13 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him :

14 and, behold, two blind men who were sitting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David!

15 and the multitude charged them, that they should be silent: but they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David! 16 And Jesus stopped, and called them; and said, What wish ye that I should do to you?

17 they say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened:

18 and Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: : and immediately their Luke, xviii. eyes saw, and they followed

him.

19 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

24 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus had commanded them;

25 and they brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon:

26 and most of the multitude spread their garments on the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them on the way:

27 and the multitudes that went before, and that followed him, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! "Blessed Ps. cxviii. 26. "is he who cometh in the and xix. 38.

CHAPTER XXI.

ND when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 2 and the multitude said,
