Jesus

And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?

He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself.

And he said to him: Thou hast answered right. This do: and thou shalt live.

But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?

And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word.

But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me.

And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things:

And it came to pass that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.

And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him at midnight and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves,

And he was casting out a devil: and the same was dumb. And when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes, were in admiration at it.

And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven.

But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation; and house upon house shall fall.

And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.

Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.

But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee and the paps that gave thee suck.

But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation is a wicked generation. It asketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation.

And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.
