not mean it.

So likewise ye, when ye have done all that is commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we were bound to do.

And it came to pass, as he journeyed to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

And when he was come into a market, there met him ten leprous men sitting afar off.

And they lifted up their voice, and said: JEsu, dear Master, have mercy on us!

And when he saw them, he said unto them: Go and show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were clean.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned again, and praised God with a loud voice.

And fell on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks. And this was a Samaritan.

And JEsus answered and said: Were not ten of them pure? But where are the nine?

Is there none else found that will turn again, and give glory to God, but this stranger?

And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way. Thy faith hath helped thee].

And when he was asked of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered and said unto them: The kingdom of God does not come with outward gestures.

They won’t say: here or there it is! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And he said unto the disciples, The time shall come, when ye shall desire to see the day of the Son of man, and shall not see it,

And they shall say unto you, Behold here, behold there. Go not, neither follow.

For as the lightning flasheth from heaven above, and shineth upon all that is under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.

But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man: 27. And they did eat, and they drank, and they let themselves go, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

The same as it was in the days of Lot: they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
And it rained on the day that Lot went out of So-dom. Fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and killed them all.

In like manner shall it be in that day, when the Son of man shall be revealed.

In the same day, he that is on the housetop, and his household goods in the house, let him not go down to fetch them. In the same day, let him who is in the field not turn back to that which is behind him.

Remember the wife of Lot.

He that seeketh to preserve his soul shall lose it; and he that shall lose it shall save it to life.

I say unto you: In that night two shall lie on one couch: one shall be accepted, and the other forsaken.

Two shall grind together: the one shall be accepted, and the other forsaken.

Two shall be in the field; one shall be accepted, and the other forsaken.

And they answered and said unto him, Lord, where then? And he said unto them: Where the carcase is, there do the eagles gather.
(Luke)
Chapter 18
Prayer and repentance, cross and suffering.

And he spake unto them a parable, that men ought always to pray, and not to cease, 2. And said, There was a judge in a city, which feared not God, neither was afraid of any man.

And there was a widow in the same city, which came unto him, saying, Deliver me from mine adversary.

And he would not for a long time: but afterward he thought within himself: – Whether I fear not God, neither am I afraid of any man,

But because this widow troubleth me so much, I will save her, lest she come at the last, and overpower me.

Then said the LORD, Hear ye here what the unjust judge saith.

But shall not God also save his elect, who cry unto him day and night, and shall have patience over them?

I say unto you, He shall save them in a little while. But when the Son of man shall come, thinkest thou that he also shall find faith on the earth?

And he spake a parable of this kind unto some that presumed themselves to be righteous, and despised others:

And there went up two men into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, the other a publican.

And the Pharisee stood and prayed with himself thus: I thank thee, O God, that I am not as other men, robbers, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. –

I fast twice a week, and give tithes of all that I have.

And the publican stood afar off, and would not lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said, God, be merciful to me a sinner.

I say unto you: This man went down justified into his house before him. For he that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that abaseth himself shall be exalted].

They also brought unto him young children, that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they afflicted them.

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

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter therein.

And a certain chief asked him, saying, Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? No one is good but the one God.

Thou knowest well the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother.

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

When JEsus heard it, he said unto him, Thou lackest yet one thing. Sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

And when he heard it, he was sad: for he was very rich.

And when JE saw that he was grieved, he said, How hardly shall the rich enter into the kingdom of GOD! –

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Then said they that heard it. Who then can be saved?

And he said, What is impossible with men is possible with God.

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

And he said unto them: Verily I say unto you, There is no man that shall leave house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 30. Who shall not receive again manifold in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.

And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be fulfilled.

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles; and he shall be mocked, and reviled, and spit upon;

And they shall scourge him, and kill him. And the third day he shall rise again.

But they heard none of these things, and the words were hid from them, and knew not what they were spoken.

And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Jericho, that a blind man sat by the way side begging.

And when he heard the people passing through, he inquired what these things were.

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

And he cried and said, JEsu, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And they that went before afflicted him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried much more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

But JEsus stood still, and commanded him to be brought unto him. And when they were brought nigh unto him, he asked him

And said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.

And JEsus said unto him, Be thou sighted. Thy faith hath helped thee.

And straightway he saw, and followed him, and praised GOD. And all the people that saw such things praised GOD].
(Luke)
Chapter 19
Of Zacchaeus, familiar pounds, Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, sad prophecy, and earnest reformation.

And he went in, and passed through Jericho;

And, behold, there was a man called Zacchaeus, which was a ruler of publicans, and was rich.

And desired to see JEsum, who he was, and could not before the people: for he was small in person.

And he ran before, and climbed up a mulberry tree, that he might see it: for there he should pass through.

And when JEsus was come to the same place, he looked up, and perceived him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, come down quickly: for I must return to thy house this day.

And he came down in haste, and received him with joy.

And when they saw it, they all murmured that he had entered into the house of a sinner.

And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the LORD, Behold, LORD, half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any man, I restore fourfold.

And JESUS said unto him, Salvation is come unto this house this day, because he also is the son of Abraham;

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

And as they were listening, he continued
