A ND & after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them upon a high mountain apart.

2 And he was transfigured before them: and his face shone as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

4 Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud,

have done to him whatever they pleased: likewise will also the Son of man suffer

Mark 10.13. Luke 18. 15.

10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 But he said to them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

12 For there are some ennuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

13 Then were brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples re

buked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

16 And behold, one came and said to him, Good 2 Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, i Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

20 The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?

2 And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came to him, 1 tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made them, at the beginning made them male and female,

5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife and they two shall be one flesh?

6 Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh: Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say to him, Why did Moses

give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow

me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 ¶ Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I say to you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into Ex. 20. 13. the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said to them, With men this is impossible, but

2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a 1 penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place,

4 And said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, I will give you. And they departed.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and. saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

23 And he saith to them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, 3 but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

25 But Jesus called them to him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27 And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

14 Take that which is thine, and depart I will give to this last, even as to thee.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? is thy eye evil because I am good?

25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, if we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?

18 Now in the morning as he was returning into the city, he was hungry.

19 And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the figtree withered!

29 He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went.

30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

33 Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

36 Again he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.

37 But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; "come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
