34 The light 20 of the body is ẞ the ẞ eye y therefore y when thine eye is single, thy whole body & also & is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

35 B Take heed therefore 21 that the light which is in thee be not 21 darkness. 36 22 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light 22, as when the bright shining of a 16 candle 16 doth give thee light B.

37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first 23 washed 3 before dinner.

39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but 24 c your inward part 24 is full of ravening and wickedness.

40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

41 But rather 25 give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and Matt. 23. apostles, and some of them they shall slay and 8 persecute 8:

50 That the blood of all the prophets. which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

1 Christ preacheth to his disciples to avoid hypocrisy, and fearfulness in publishing his doctrine: 13 warneth the people to beware of covetousness, by the parable of the rich man who set up greater barns. 22 We must not be over careful of earthly things, 31 but seek the kingdom of God, 33 give alms, 36 be ready at a knock to open to our Lord whensoerer he cometh, 41 Christ's ministers are to see to their charge, 49 and look for persecution. 54 The people must take this time of grace, 58 because it is a fearful thing to die without reconciliation.

419 Woe unto you, B scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites B! for ye are as graves which appear not, and ythe men that walk overy them are not aware of them. 45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, 26 Master 26, thus saying thou 27 reproachest 27 us also.

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye Matt. 23.4. lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

THERE were present at that senson some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

6 He spake also this parable; "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; 3 why cumbereth it the ground?

8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

9 And if it B bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt ß cut it down.

10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and d not on the sabbath day.

15 The Lord then answered him, and said, B Thou hypocrite 8, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 And ought not this woman, fbeing a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an Bass B or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? 6 And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 ¶ And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief 2 rooms 2; saying unto them,

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room 3; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room 3.

10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest 3 room3; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of ß them that sit at meat with thee.

11 d For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things. he said unto him, Blessed is he that Rev. 19. 9. shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper Prov. 9. 2, time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee 5 have me excused 5.

19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee 5 have me excused 5. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
