23"Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who chose to reckon with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.* 25 But he being unable to pay, his mas ter commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had; and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down and did him obeisance, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.' 27 Then the master of that servant was movAnd if he shall neglect to hear ed with compassion, and sent them, tell it to the congrega-him away, and forgave him the tion: but if he shall neglect to hear the congregation also, let 28" But that servant went out, him be unto thee as a heathen and met with one of his fellowand a publican. 18 Verily I servants, that owed him a huntell you, Whatsoever ye shall dred denarii: † and seizing bind on earth, shall be bound in him, he took him by the throat, heaven: and whatsoever ye saying, 'Pay [me] what thou shall loose on earth, shall be owest.' 29 His fellow-servant loosed in heaven. 19 Again, I therefore falling down, tell you, that if two of you shall sought him, saying, 'Have paagree, on earth, concerning any tience with me, and I will pay thing, which they shall ask, it thee [all].' 30 And he would shall be done for them, by my not: and went and cast him into Father in heaven: 20 for where prison, till he should pay the two or three are gathered to-debt. 31 His fellow-servants gether, in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

CH. XIX. 1 AND it came to pass, that, when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, by the side of Jordan. 2 And great multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.

3 THEN the Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying [to him,]" Is it lawful that a man should put away his wife for every cause ?" 4 And he answering, said to them, "Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning, made them a male and a female? 5 and said, 'For this reason, a man shall leave father and mother, and adhere to his wife they two shall be one flesh :' 6 so that they are no more two; but one flesh. What, therefore, God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.”

Let him receive this, who can receive it.

13 THEN were brought to him little children, that he might put his hands on them, and pray for them: and the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But Jesus said, “Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." 15 And he put his hands on them, and departed thence.

23 Then said Jesus to his disciples, "Verily I tell you, that a rich man will with difficulty 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 But the disciples hearing this, were greatly amazed, saying, "Who then can be saved ?" 26 But Jesus looking at them, answered, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out, about the third hour, and saw others standing idle, in the market-place, 4 and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.' And they went. 5 Again, he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did in like manner. 6 And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing, and said to them, Why stand ye here, all the day, idle?' 7 They said to him, 'Because no one hath hir ed us.' He said to them, 'Go ye also into the vineyard, [and whatsoever is right ye shall receive.]'

But the first coming, they supposed that they should receive more; and they also received every one a denarius. 11 And having received it, they murmured against the householder, 12 saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.' 13 But he answering one of them, said, 'Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is thine, and depart: now it is my will to give to this last, even as to thee. 15 May I not do what I will with mine own?

17 AND as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve [disciples], privately on the way, and said to them, 18 "Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and Scribes, 19 who will condemn him to death, and will deliver him up to the gentiles, that they may deride and Scourge and crucify him: and the third day he will rise again."

24 And the ten hearing this, were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25 But Jesus calling them to him, said; "Ye know that the rulers of the gentiles have dominion over them, and the great ones exercise authority upon them. 26 It shall not be so among

CH. XXI. 1 AND when they drew near to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphagé, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples; 2 saying, to them, "Go into the village, over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me. 3 And if any one say aught to you, ye shall say, The Master hath
