3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not 1 with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! for, behold thep king dom of God is 2 within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The q days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 Andr they shall say to you, See here; or, See there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25 Buts first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this gene

ration.

26 And as it was t in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out u of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. v

32 Remember Lot's w wife. 13 Whosoever shall seek to save is life shall lose it; and whosoever all lose his life shall preserve it. 4 I tell you, in that night there y all be two men in one bed; the ne shall be taken, and the other hall be left. 35 Two women shall be grinding ogether; the one shall be taken nd the other left.

36 3 Two men shall be in the field; he one shall be taken, and the >ther left.

37 And they answered and said into him, Where, Lord? And he aid unto them, Wheresoever the ody is, z thither will the eagles be gathered together.

CHAPTER XVIII. 1 The importunate widow. 9 The Pharisee and publican. 15 Children brought to Christ. 28 All to be left for the gospel's sake.

ND he spake a parable unto

A them to this end, that men ought a always to pray, and not to faint;

2 Saying, there was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

3 And there was a widow in that oity; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine Adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man:

5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary

me.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7 And shall not God avenge b his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.c Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, shalld he¦ find faith on the earth?

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which e trusted in themselves 2 that they were righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one à Pharisee,' and the other a publican.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for h every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

15 Andi they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, k shall in no wise enter therein.

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shail I do to inherit eternal life?

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

20 Thou knowest the m commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure n in heaven: and come, f , follow

me.

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

21 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How o hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26 And they that heard it, said, Who then can be saved?

27 And he said, Thep things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.

28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath q left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life r everlasting. 31 Then he took un'o him tha

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. 35 And it v came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside, begging:

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son à of Abraham.

10 Fori the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. k

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediate. ly appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten 1 pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till 1

come.

14 Butn his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, say. ing, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the 2 money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first,saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful o in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Outp of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not
