three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

While he yet spake thus, behold, a cloud of light overshadowed them. And, behold, a voice out of the cloud said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; him shall ye hear.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraid.

And JEsus came to them, and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

And when they were come down from the mount, JEsus commanded them, saying: Ye shall tell no man this vision, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.

And his disciples asked him, saying: What then say the scribes, that Elias must come before?

And JEsus answered and said unto them: Elijah shall come first, and set all things right.

But I say unto you, Elias is come already, and they have not known him, but have done unto him as they would. So shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Then the disciples understood that he had spoken unto them of John the Baptist.

And when they were come unto the people, a man stood by him, and fell at his feet.

And said, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is moonstruck, and hath a grievous affliction; he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not help him.

And JESUS answered and said, O thou faithless and perverse kind, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither unto me.

And JEsus afflicted him; and the devil departed from him, and the child was healed in that hour.

And his disciples came unto him specially, and said: Why could we not cast him out?

But JEsus answered and said unto them: Because of your unbelief. For I say unto you: Verily if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence unto it; and it shall be removed, and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

But this kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting.

And when they were in Galilee, Jesus saith unto them: It is come to pass, that the Son of man should be delivered into the hands of men.

And they shall kill him; and the third day he shall rise again. And they were greatly grieved.

And when they were come to Capernaum, they went to Peter, which took the groschen of interest, and said, Is not your master wont to give the groschen of interest?

And he said, Yea. And when he was come home, Jesus came before him, and said, What thinkest thou, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take toll or interest, from their children or from strangers?

Then saith Peter unto him, Of the strangers. And Jesus said unto him, So are the children free.

But lest we offend them, go to the sea, and cast a line, and take the first fish that cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a stave. Take the same and give it to me and to you.
(Matthew)
Chapter 18

At that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying: Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Jesus called a child unto him, and set him in the midst of them.

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye repent and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

He therefore that bringeth himself low, as this child, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whosoever shall receive one such child in my name receiveth me.

But whosoever shall offend one of these least ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the deepest part of the sea.

Woe to the world of trouble! Trouble must come, but woe to the man through whom trouble comes!

But if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to enter into life lame, or crippled, than to have two hands or two feet, and be cast into everlasting fire.

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, than to have two eyes, and be cast into the infernal fire.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones. For I say unto you: Your angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

What think ye? If any man have an hundred sheep, and one of them go astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine upon the mountains, and go and seek that which is strayed?

And if he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more than the ninety and nine which are not lost.

Neither is it the will of your Father which is in heaven, that any of these little ones should perish.

But if thy brother sin against thee, go and punish him between thee and him only. If he hear thee, thou hast won thy brother.

If he hear thee not, take thee another, or two, that all may stand upon the mouth of two or three witnesses.

If he hear not them, let the congregation know it. If he hear not the congregation, let him be accounted a heathen and a publican.

Verily I say unto you: Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Further I say unto you: If two of you shall become one on the earth, why it is that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Then Peter came to him, and said, Lord, how often must I forgive my brother that sinneth against me? Is it enough seven times?

And JEsus said unto him, I tell thee, not seven times, but seventy times seven.

Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like unto a king that would reckon with his servants.

And when he began to reckon, there came before him one that owed him ten thousand pounds.

And when he had not money to pay, the LORD commanded to sell him, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and to pay.

And the servant fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me. I will
pay thee all.

And the lord of that servant was grieved, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

And the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence. And he took hold of him, and choked him, saying, Pay me that thou owest me.

And his fellow servant fell down, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me. I will pay you for everything.

But he would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay that which he owed.

And when his fellowservants saw these things, they were very sorrowful, and came and brought before their lord all that had happened.

And his lord brought him before him, and said unto him, O thou servant of the wicked! I have forgiven thee all this debt, because thou hast besought me; 33. Shouldest thou not also have mercy on thy fellow servant, as I have had mercy on thee?

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the smiters, until he should pay all that he owed him.

So shall my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not your brother his trespasses from your hearts.
(Matthew)
Chapter 19

And it came to pass, when JEsus had finished this saying, he arose out of Galilee, and came into the borders of the land of Judaea beyond Jordan.

And much people followed him, and he healed them there.

And the Pharisees came unto him, and tried him, and said unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for any cause?

And he answered and said unto them: Have ye not read, that he which made man in the beginning made male and female,

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and shall the two be one flesh?

They are not therefore two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

And they said: Why then hath Moses commanded to give a bill of divorcement, and to separate himself from her?

And he said unto them: Moses allowed you to separate from your wives because of the hardness of your hearts; but from the beginning it was not so.

But I say unto you: Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery. And whosoever shall put away her that is put away, committeth adultery.

Then said the disciples unto him, If the case of a man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

And he said unto them: The word is not for everyone, but for those to whom it is given.

For there are some that are cut off, that are born of the womb; and there are some that are cut off, that are cut off from men; and there are some that are cut off for their own sakes,
