And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come!
|
2
|
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.
|
3
|
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
|
4
|
And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent: forgive him.
|
5
|
And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
|
6
|
And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up and be thou transplanted into the sea. And it would obey you.
|
7
|
But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit down to meat.
|
8
|
And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?
|
9
|
Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him? I think not.
|
10
|
So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
|
11
|
And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
|
12
|
And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off.
|
13
|
And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
|
14
|
Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
|
15
|
And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
|
16
|
And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan.
|
17
|
And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine?
|
18
|
There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.
|
19
|
And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
|
20
|
And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.
|
21
|
Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
|
22
|
And he said to his disciples: The days will come when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man. And you shall not see it.
|
23
|
And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them.
|
24
|
For as the lightning that lighteneth from under heaven shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
|
25
|
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
|
26
|
And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
|
27
|
They did eat and drink, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.
|
28
|
Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.
|
29
|
And in the day that Lot went out 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 shall be revealed.
|
31
|
In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.
|
32
|
Remember Lot's wife.
|
33
|
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.
|
34
|
I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
|
35
|
Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
|
36
|
Two men shall be in the field. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
|
37
|
They answering, say to him: Where, Lord? Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
