for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that can grasp it, let him grasp it.

And little children were brought unto him, and he laid his hands upon them, and prayed. And the disciples began to look upon them.

But Jesus said, “Let the little children go, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for these are the riches of heaven.

And laid his hands upon them, and departed thence.

And, behold, one came to him, and said, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

And he said unto him, What? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not commit
adultery; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false witness; 19. Honor thy father and mother, and: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

And the young man said unto him, I have kept all these things from my youth: what lack I yet?

And JESUS said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

When the young man heard the word, he departed grieved: for he had much goods.

And JESUS said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say unto 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.

When his disciples heard it, they were sore amazed, and said: Who then can be saved?

And JE looked upon them, and said unto them: With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Then Peter answered and said unto him, Behold, we have left all, and followed thee: what shall we have for it?

And Jesus said unto them: Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve stools, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And whosoever shall leave house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, the same shall take it an hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.

But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
(Matthew)
Chapter 20
laborer in the vineyard of Christ
Suffering. The disciples’ ambition. Two blind men healed.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a householder, which went out in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace: 4. And he said unto them: Go ye also into the vineyard; and I will give you that which is right.

And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said unto them: Why stand ye here all the day idle?

And they said unto him, There hath no man done unto us. And he said unto them: Go ye also into the vineyard, and that which is right shall be done unto you.

And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard said unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, and lift up the last unto the first.

Then came they that were come about the eleventh hour, and received every man his penny.

And when the first came, they thought they would receive more: and they received every man his penny.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the father of the house.

And said: These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them like unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

And he answered and said unto one of them: My friend, I do thee no wrong. Art thou not become one with me for a penny?

Take that which is thine, and go thy way. And I will give unto this last, as unto thee.

Or have I not power to do what I will with mine own? Dost thou therefore look askance, because I am so kind?

So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

And he went up to Jerusalem, and took unto him the twelve disciples specially in the way,
and said unto them:

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.

And they shall deliver him up to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified. And on the third day he will rise again.

And the mother of Zebedee’s children came to him with her sons, and fell down before him, and asked something of him.

And he said unto her, What wilt thou? And she said unto him, Let these my two sons sit in thy kingdom, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left.

But JEsus answered and said: Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with baptism, as I am baptized with it? And they said unto him, Yea.

And he said unto them: My cup indeed ye shall drink, and with baptism, when I am baptized withal, ye shall be baptized: but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

And when the ten heard it, they were displeased with the two brethren.

But JESUS called them unto him, and said: Ye know that the rulers of the world reign, and the overlords have power.

It shall not be so among you: but if any man will be mighty among you, let him be your servant;

And whosoever will be chief, let him be your servant,

As the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life for a redemption of many.

And when they departed from Jericho, much people followed him.

And, behold, two blind men sat by the way side: and when they heard that Jesus passed by, they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

But the people afflicted them, that they should hold their peace. But they cried out much more, saying: O Lord, thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

But JEsus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?

And they said unto him, Lord, that our eyes might be opened. And JEsum was sorry, and touched their eyes. And straightway their eyes were restored, and they followed him.

Chapter 21
Christ’s entry into Jerusalem. Purification of the temple Cursing of the fig tree and punitive sermon.

Now when they were come nigh unto Jerusalem to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, Jesus sent of his disciples two

And he said unto them: Go ye into the place which is before you, and soon ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Untie her, and bring her unto me.

And if any man shall say any thing unto you, say, The LORD hath need of them; and as soon as he hath done so, he will let you have them.

And all these things were done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet that saith:

Say ye unto the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king cometh unto thee meekly, riding upon an ass, and upon a colt of the burthen ass.

And the disciples went and did as JEsus commanded them,

And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments thereon, and set him thereon.

But many of the people spread their garments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees, and scattered them in the way.

And the people that went before and followed cried out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD. Hosanna in the highest!

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, Who is this?

And the people said, This is JEsus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

And Jesus went in unto the temple of God, and cast out all the sellers and buyers that were in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the changers, and the seats of the sellers of doves.

And said unto them: It is written: My house shall be called a house of prayer. But ye have made it a den of thieves.

And the blind and the lame went unto him in the temple, and he healed them.

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the miracles which he did, and the children crying in the temple, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were moved with indignation.

And said unto him, Hearest thou also what these say? JEsus saith unto them: Yes! Have ye never read: Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou praised?

And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and abode there.

And when he was come again into the city in the morning, he hungered.

And he saw a fig tree by the way, and went and found nothing thereon, save leaves only. And he
