He took them, and withdrew from there in a boat. They went away in the boat to go to a deserted place apart by themselves, to a city called Bethsaida, to a desert region of the Jordan, west of the city which is situated across from it on the east side, the other side of the Jordan river; from "Cap Ernay-um" a distance of about seven miles. But the multitudes perceiving it followed him. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities. They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them, and came together to him at an open and deserted area on the western side of the Jordan river.

Jesus came out, and he saw a great multitude; Jesus went out, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. He welcomed them, and he began to Teach them many things, spoke to them of God's Kingdom, and healed their sick, and he cured those who needed healing.

Now the Passover the feast of the Jews was at hand. The day began to wear away.

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for "Migh" sake and the sake of the Proclamation will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? For what will a man give in exchange for his life. For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of "hymn", when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.

He said to them, Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here, who will in no way taste death before they see God’s Kingdom come with power.  

He said to them, Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here, who will in no way taste death before they see "God's Kingdom" come with power.  

Raising his voice, He said to all, If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for "Migh" sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self? For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of "hymn" will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

After six days, about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain, brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves; he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

If your foot causes you to falter, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into "life-lame", rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.  

If your foot causes you to falter, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into "life-lame", rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.  

If your eye causes you to falter, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.

In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter. He said to them, Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits "adultery" "against-her". If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.

They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them. But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, Allow the little children to come to me! Do not forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these. Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.

Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack. "Goh", sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.  

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!  

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into "God's Kingdom"!  

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom! It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.  

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into "God’s Kingdom"! It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into "God’s Kingdom".  

They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, Then who can be saved?

Jesus, looking at them said, With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.

Peter began to tell him, Behold, we have left "all", and have followed you.  

Peter began to tell him, Behold, we have left "all", and have followed you.  

Jesus said to him, If you want to be perfect, "goh", sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.  

Jesus said to him, If you want to be perfect, "goh", sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.  

But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions. Jesus said to his disciples, Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.

For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. When he had agreed with the laborers for a "de-narius" a day, he sent them into his vineyard. He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. So they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, Why do you stand here all day idle? They said to him, Because "no-one" has hired us. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right. When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.

When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a "de-narius". When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a "de-narius". When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household saying, These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to "us" who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat! But he answered one of them, Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a "de-narius"? Take that which is yours and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own"? Or is your eye evil because I am good? So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him. They did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem. When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?

But he said, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.  

But he said, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.

Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. He said to them, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet "no-one" on the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house. If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, God’s Kingdom has come near to you. But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you. I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. You "Cap Ernay-um" who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.

He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled. But some of them said, He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.

Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.  But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.

When the strongman, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe. But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.

He spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly. He reasoned within himself, saying, What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops? He said, This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. I will tell my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be? So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

He said to his disciples, Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height? If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith? Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning. Be like men watching for their Lord, when he returns from the wedding feast; that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him. Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them. They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him.

As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

He said, What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.  

He said, What is "God's Kingdom" like? To what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.

He said to them, Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us! then he will answer and tell you, I do not know you or where you come from. Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you Taught in our streets. He will say, I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside. They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God's Kingdom. Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.

He also said to the one who had invited him, When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brethren, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.
