and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High. For he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.

Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. Condemn not, neither be ye condemned Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.

Give, and it shall be given unto you. A full measure, pressed down, shaken, and superfluous, shall be given into your bosom: for even with the measure that ye measure with shall ye be measured again.

And he told them a parable: May a blind man show a blind man the way? Will they not both fall into the pit?

The disciple is not above his master: if he be younger than his master, he is perfect.

And why seest thou a mote in thy brother’s eye, and seest not the beam in thine own eye?

Or how canst thou say unto thy brother, Hold thy peace, brother? I will pull the mote out of thine eye; and thou thyself seest not the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! Pull first the beam out of thine eye, and then besiege thou to pull the mote out of thy brother’s eye].

For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit, neither is there a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

Every tree is known by his own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, neither are grapes gathered from hedges.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things: and a wicked man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil things. For whose heart is full, his mouth overflows.

But why call ye me, O Lord, and do not those things which I say unto you?

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.

He is like a man that built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock.
And when the waters came, the river ran to the house, and could not move it: for it was founded upon the rock.

But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that buildeth an house upon the earth without a foundation: and the river ran to it, and it fell down quickly, and the house was broken in pieces.
(Luke)
Chapter 7
Of the centurion’s servant, the young man of Nain, John and his disciples, and the great sinner.

And after he had spoken before the people, he went to Capernaum.

And a centurion’s servant lay sick of death, whom he held worthy.

And when he heard of JEsu, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

And when they were come to JEsu, they besought him diligently, saying: He is worthy that thou shouldest shew it him;

For he loveth our people, and he hath built us a school.

And Jesus went with them. And when they were not far from the house, the centurion sent friends unto him, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself. I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof;

For this cause also have I not counted myself worthy to come unto thee: but speak a word, and my child shall be healed.

For I also am a man subject unto authority, and have servants of war under me; and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh: Come hither, and he shall come; and to my servant, Do this, and he shall do it.

And when JEsus heard it, he marvelled at him, and turned, and said unto the people that followed him: I tell you, I have not found such faith in Israel.

And when the messengers returned home, they found the sick servant well.

And it came to pass after this, that he went into a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him much, and much people.

And when he was come nigh unto the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, which was an only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And many people of the city went with her.

And when the LORD saw her, he was sorry for her, and said unto her, Weep not.

And he came and touched the coffin. And the bearers stood. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise.

And the dead man arose, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

And fear came upon them all, and they praised God, and said: There is a great prophet risen up among us, and: GOD hath afflicted his people.

And this saying of his went out into all the land of Judah, and into all the countries round about].
18: And John’s disciples told him all these things. And he called unto him of his disciples two 19. And sent them unto JEsu, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or shall we wait for another?

And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee,
saying, Art thou he that should come, or shall we wait for another?

And in that same hour he healed many from pestilence, and from plagues, and from evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.

And blessed is he that taketh no offense at me.

And when John’s messengers were gone, Jesus began to say unto John’s people, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? Did ye desire to see a reed moved by the wind?

Or what went ye out to see? Would ye see a man in soft apparel? Behold, they that live in glorious apparel and lusts are in the royal courts.

Or what went ye out to see? Did ye desire to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, he that is more than a prophet.

He of whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

For I say unto you, That among them which are born of women there is no greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is less in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, and were baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and scribes despised God’s counsel against themselves, and would not be baptized of Him.

But the LORD said, To whom shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?

They are like the children that sit in the market, and call one against another, and say: We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not wept.

For John the Baptist came, and did neither eat bread, nor drink wine; so ye say, He hath the devil.

The Son of man is come, eat ye, and drink ye, saying, Behold, man is a glutton, and a winebibber, a publican’s and a sinner’s friend.

And wisdom must be justified by all her children.

And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him: and he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.

And, behold, there was a woman in the city, a sinner. When she heard that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought a jar of ointments.

And stood behind at his feet, and wept, and began to wet his feet with tears, and to wipe them with the hair of their head; and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointments.

And when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

And JEsus answered and said unto him, Simon, I have a word to say unto thee. And he said, Master, tell me.

A certain usurer had two debtors. One owed five hundred pennies, the other fifty.

And when they had not money to pay, he gave it to both of them. Tell me, which of them will love him the most?

Simon answered and said: I respect him to whom he hath given the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly.

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet: but this woman hath wetted my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman, when she was come in, she ceased not from kissing my feet.

Thou hast not anointed my head with oil; but she hath anointed my feet with ointments.

Therefore I say unto thee: Her sins are forgiven much, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, he loveth little.

And he said unto her, Thy sins be forgiven thee.

And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins?

And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace:]
(Luke)
Chapter 8
Of the seed of the word of God, of the impetuosity of the sea, of the possessed, of the sick woman, and of the little daughter of Jairus.

And it came to pass after this, that he travelled through cities and towns, preaching and shewing the gospel of the kingdom of God; and the twelve with him, 2. And certain women which he had healed of evil spirits and diseases, even Mary Magdalene, from whom seven devils departed,

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s keeper,
