Jesus

And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures, to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am consummated.

Nevertheless, I must walk to-day and to-morrow and the day following, because it cannot be that a prophet perish, out of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets; and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?

Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you that you shall not see me till the time come when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.

And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him and sent him away.

And they could not answer him to these things.

And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:

And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.

When one of them that sat at table with him had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded; and yet there is room.

And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them:

If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth cannot be my disciple.

Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.

And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.

And he spoke to them this parable, saying:

I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.

So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.

And he said: A certain man had two sons.

But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me; and all I have is thine.
