18.35 Now And it came to pass, when that as he drew was come nigh to unto Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging. side begging:
18.36 And when he heard hearing the multitude passing pass by, he asked what this it meant.

19.5 And when Jesus was come came to the place, looking up, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste haste, and come down; for this to day I must abide in at thy house.
19.6 And he made haste haste, and came down; down, and received him with joy. joyfully.
19.7 And when all they saw it, they all murmured, saying, that That he was gone to be a guest with a man that was is a sinner.
19.8 But Zacheus standing, And Zacchaeus stood, and said to unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged taken any man of thing from any thing, man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

19.12 He said therefore: therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
19.13 And calling he called his ten servants, he gave and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade unto them, Occupy till I come.
19.14 But his citizens hated him: him, and they sent an embassage a message after him, saying: saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
19.15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom: and kingdom, then he commanded his these servants to be called, called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
19.16 And Then came the first came, saying: first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
19.17 And he said to him: Well done, unto him, Well, thou good servant, servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt have power thou authority over ten cities.
19.18 And the second came, saying: saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19.19 And he said likewise to him: him, Be thou also over five cities.
19.20 And another came, saying: saying, Lord, behold behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin; napkin:
19.21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what that thou didst layedst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.
19.22 He And he saith to him: unto him, Out of thy thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what that I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:
19.23 And why Wherefore then didst thou gavest not give thou my money into the bank, that at my coming, coming I might have exacted it required mine own with usury?
19.24 And he said to unto them that stood by: by, Take the pound away from him, him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
19.25 And (And they said to him: unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. pounds.)
19.26 But For I say to unto you, that to That unto every one that which hath shall be given, and he shall abound: given; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, hath shall be taken away from him.
19.27 But as for those my mine enemies, who which would not have me that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and kill slay them before me.
19.28 And having said these things, when he had thus spoken, he went before, going ascending up to Jerusalem.
19.29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto Bethany, at the mount called Olivet, the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
19.30 Saying: Saying, Go ye into the town which is village over against you, you; in the which at your entering into which you ye shall find the a colt of an ass tied, on which no whereon yet never man ever hath sitten: sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
19.31 And if any man shall ask you: you, Why do you ye loose him? you thus shall ye say thus unto him: him, Because the Lord hath need of his service. him.
19.32 And they that were sent, sent went their way, and found the colt standing, even as he had said unto them.
19.33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: unto them, Why loose you ye the colt?
19.34 But And they said: Because the said, The Lord hath need of him.
19.35 And they brought him to Jesus. And casting Jesus: and they cast their garments on upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
19.36 And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
19.37 And when he was come nigh, even now coming near at the descent of the mount Olivet, of Olives, the whole multitude of his the disciples began with joy to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice, voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, seen;
19.38 Saying: Saying, Blessed be the king who King that cometh in the name of the Lord, Lord: peace in heaven, and glory on high! in the highest.
19.39 And some of the Pharisees, Pharisees from amongst among the multitude, multitude said to him: unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
19.40 To whom And he said: answered and said unto them, I say to you, that tell you that, if these shall should hold their peace, the stones will would immediately cry out.
19.41 And when he drew was come near, seeing he beheld the city, he and wept over it, saying: it,
19.42 Saying, If thou also hadst known, and that even thou, at least in this thy day, the things that are to which belong unto thy peace; peace! but now they are hidden hid from thy thine eyes.
19.43 For the days shall come upon thee, and thy that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten keep thee in on every side,
19.44 And beat shall lay thee flat to even with the ground, and thy children who are in thee: within thee; and they shall not leave in thee a one stone upon a stone: another; because thou hast knewest not known the time of thy visitation.

19.48 And they found could not find what to do to him: they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
20.1 And it came to pass, that on one of the those days, as he was teaching taught the people in the temple, and preaching preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, scribes came upon him with the ancients, met together, elders,
20.2 And spoke to spake unto him, saying: saying, Tell us, by what authority dost doest thou these things? or, Who or who is he that hath given gave thee this authority?
20.3 And Jesus answering, he answered and said to them: unto them, I will also ask you one thing. Answer thing; and answer me:
20.4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
20.5 But And they thought within reasoned with themselves, saying: saying, If we shall say, From heaven: heaven; he will say: say, Why then did you not believe him? believed ye him not?
20.6 But and if we say, Of men, men; all the whole people will stone us: for they are be persuaded that John was a prophet.
20.7 And they answered, that they knew could not tell whence it was.
20.8 And Jesus said to them: unto them, Neither do I tell thee I you by what authority I do these things.
20.9 And he Then began he to speak to the people this parable: parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out forth to husbandmen: husbandmen, and he was abroad went into a far country for a long time.
20.10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
20.11 And again he sent another servant. But servant: and they beat him also, and treating entreated him reproachfully, shamefully, and sent him away empty.
20.12 And again he sent the a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
20.13 Then said the lord of the vineyard said: vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, be they will reverence him when they see him.
20.14 Whom But when the husbandmen saw, saw him, they thought within reasoned among themselves, saying: saying, This is the heir, heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
20.15 So casting they cast him out of the vineyard, they and killed him. What therefore will shall the lord of the vineyard do to unto them?
20.16 He will come, shall come and will destroy these husbandmen, and will shall give the vineyard to others. Which And when they hearing, said to him: heard it, they said, God forbid.
20.17 But And he looking on beheld them, said: and said, What is this then that is written, The stone, stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
20.18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, stone shall be bruised: and upon broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
20.19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but him; and they feared the people, people: for they knew perceived that he spoke had spoken this parable to against them.
20.20 And being upon the watch, they watched him, and sent forth spies, who which should feign themselves just, just men, that they might take hold of him in his words, that so they might deliver him up to unto the authority and power and authority of the governor.
20.21 And they asked him, saying: saying, Master, we know that thou speakest sayest and teachest rightly: and rightly, neither acceptest thou dost not respect any person, the person of any, but teachest the way of God in truth. truly:
20.22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to unto Caesar, or no?
20.23 But he considering perceived their guile, craftiness, and said to them: unto them, Why tempt you ye me?
20.24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription superscription hath it? They answering, said to him, answered and said, Caesar's.
20.25 And he said to them: unto them, Render therefore to unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's: which be Caesar's, and to unto God the things that are which be God's.
20.26 And they could not reprehend take hold of his word words before the people: and wondering they marvelled at his answer, they and held their peace.
20.27 And there Then came to him some certain of the Sadducees, who which deny that there is any resurrection, resurrection; and they asked him,
20.28 Saying: Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no die without children, that his brother should take her to his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20.29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
20.30 And the next second took her to wife, and he also died childless.
20.31 And the third took her. And her; and in like manner all the seven, seven also: and they left no children, and died.
20.32 Last of all the woman died also.
20.33 In Therefore in the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the is she? for seven had her to wife.
20.34 And Jesus answering said to them: unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
20.35 But they that which shall be accounted worthy of to obtain that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, marry, nor take wives. are given in marriage:
20.36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to unto the angels, angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
20.37 Now that the dead rise again, are raised, even Moses also shewed, shewed at the bush, when he called calleth the Lord, The Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; Jacob.
20.38 For he is not the a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to unto him.
20.39 And some Then certain of the scribes answering, said to him: answering said, Master, thou hast said well. well said.
20.40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions. question at all.
20.41 But And he said to them: unto them, How say they that Christ is the son of David? David's son?
20.42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: Psalms, The Lord LORD said to unto my Lord, sit Sit thou on my right hand,
20.43 Till I make thy thine enemies thy footstool.
