HEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2 Saying, The scribes and the Phari. sees sit in Moses' seat:

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall observe, that observe and do: but do not ye marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his after their works: for they say, and do not. brother. 4 For they bind heavy burdens, and 25 Now there were with us seven breth-grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's ren: and the first, when he had married a shoulders; but they themselves will not wife, deceased; and having no issue, left move them with one of their fingers. his wife unto his brother.

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

32 am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this they were astonished at his doctrine.

34 T But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.

13 T But wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye 35 Then one of them which was a law-neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye yer, asked him q question, tempting him, them that are entering, to go in. and saying,

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

44 Therefore be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing, 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil: for our lamps are gone out.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

The parable of the talents.

S. MATTHEW. Description of the last judgment.

14 ¶ For the kingdom of heaven is as a 'him, then shall he sit upon the throne of man travelling into a far country, who call- his glory:

ed his own servants, and delivered unto 32 And before him shall be gathered all them his goods. nations: and he shall separate them one 15 And unto one he gave five talents, from another, as a shepherd divideth his to another two, and to another one; to sheep from the goats: every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents, went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18 But he that had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was 19 After a long time the lord of those sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, servants cometh, and reckoneth with and ye came unto me. them.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him,

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came, and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or it prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, and his angels: good and faithful servant; thou hast been 42 For I was a hungered, and ye gave faithful over a few things, I will make thee me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave ruler over many things: enter thou into me no drink:

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee a hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou it not to one of the least of these, ye did knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed:
