Now, when Je sus heard these things, he said unto him ; Yet lackest thou one thing ; sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven ; 23 and come, follow me. And when he heard ths, he was very sorrowful; for he 24 was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said ; How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the 25 kingdom of God! For it is easier for a carnel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into 26 the kingdom of God. And they that heard it, said ; Who then can be saved ? 24 And he said ; The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God. an MATTHEW XIX. MARK X. 26 saved ?

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire 2 labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a-day, he sent them into his vine3 yard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw oth4 ers standing idle in the market-place; and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, I will 5 give you. And they went their way. Again he went out 6 about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing, and saith unto them ; Why stand ye here all the hired us. MATTHEW XX. 7 day idle? They say unto him; Because no man hath He saith unto them ; Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward ; Call the labourers, and give them their hire, 9 beginning from the last, unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every 10 man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more ; and they likewise received 11 every man a penny. And when they had received it, they 12 murmured against the good man of the house, saying; MATTHEW XX. These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat 13 of the day. But he answered one of them, and said ; Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me 14 for a penny ? Take that thine is, and go thy way. I will 15 give unto this last even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own ? is thine eye evil because 16 I am good ? So the last shall be first ; and the first, last. For many be called, but few chosen. 22 say unto LUKE XIII. And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and 23 journeying towards Jerusalem. Then said one unto him ; Lord, are there few that be saved ? And he said unto them ; 24 Strive to enter in at the strait door; for many I 25 you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying ; Lord, lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you; I know you not whence you are ; 26 then shall ye begin to say ; We have eaten and drunk in 27 thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he I tell de shall say ; 17 MATTHEW XX. MARK X.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom 29 of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north and from the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of 30 God. And behold, there are last which shall be first; and there are first which shall be last. The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him ; Get thee out, and depart hence ; for Herod will 32 kill thee. And he said unto them; Go ye and tell that fox; Behold, I cast out devils and I do cures to-day and to-mor33 row, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless, I must walk to-day and to-morrow, and the day following; 34 for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gath ered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood 35 under her wings ! and ye would not.

Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them; Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on; 33 and they shall scourge him, and put him to death ; and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. |
