... More tolerable for Sodom

11:20 Then he began to reproach the cities in which happened the very many powerful deeds of him, because they repented not: 21 Woe to thee Chorazin: woe to thee, Bethsaida; because if in Tyre and Sidon happened the powerful deeds having happened in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they would have repented. 22 However I tell you, for Tyre and for Sidon and more tolerable it

will be in the day of judgement than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, not as far as heaven wast thou exalted? as far as hadest thou shalt descend; because if in Sodom happened the powerful deeds having happened in thee it would have remained until today. 24 However I tell you that for the land of Sodom more tolerable it will be in the day of judgment than for thee.

Nations will hope (c/f cornfields)

12:1 At that time went the Jesus on the Sabbath through the cornfields; and the disciples of him hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn and to eat. 2 But the Pharisees seeing said to him: Behold the disciples of thee are going what not it is lawful to do on a Sabbath. 3 And he said to them: Did ye not read what did David, when he hungered and the ones with him? 4 how he entered into the house of God and the loaves of the setting forth ate, which not lawful it was for him to eat neither the ones with him, except for the

priests only? 5 or did ye not read in the law that on the Sabbath's the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are? 6 And I tell you that the temple a greater thing is here. 7 But if ye had known what it is: Mercy I desire and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For Lord is the Sabbath the Son of man. 9 (Note: 2nd half re Sabbath issue) And (then) removing thence he came into synagogue of them 10 And behold a man his hand having withered; and they questioned him Continued over

Continued saying: If it is lawful on the Sabbath to heal? in order that they might accuse him. 12:11 So he said to them: What will there be of you man who will have sheep one, and if fall in this on the Sabbath into a ditch, will he not lay hold if and raise? 12 By how much then surpasses a man a sheep. so that it is lawful on the Sabbath well to do 13 Then he says to the man; Stretch forth of thee the hand. And he stretched forth and it was restored health as the other. 14 and going out the Pharisees counsel too against him so as him they might destroy. 15 But Jesus knowing departed thence. And followed him many, and he healed

them all, 16 and warned them that not manifest him they should make; 17 that might be fulfilled the thing spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying: 18 Behold the servant of me whom I chose the beloved of me with whom was well pleased the soul of me; I will put the spirit of me on him, and judgment to the nations he will announce. 19 He will not strive nor will shout, nor will hear anyone in the streets the voice of him. 20 A reed having been bruised he will not break and flax smoking not he will quench, until he put forth to victory the judgment. 21 And in the name of him nations will hope.

12:22-37

Justified by your words (v Beezebub power)

12:22 Then was brought to him a demon possessed man blind and dumb; and he healed him, so as the dumb to speak and to see. 23 And were astonished all the crowds and said: not This is the son of David? 24 But the Pharisees hearing said: This man does not expel the demons except by Beezebub ruler of the demons. 25 But knowing the thoughts of them he said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 And if Satan expels, against himself he was divided; how therefore will stand the kingdom of him? 27 And if I by Beelzebub expel the demons, the sons of you by what do they expel? therefore they judges shall be of you. 28 But if by the Spirit of God I expel the demons, then came upon you the kingdom of God. 29 Or how can anyone to enter into the house of the strong man and the vessels of him to seize, if not first he binds the strong man? and then the house of

him he will plunder. 30 The one not being with me against me is, and the one not gathering with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, all sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the of the Spirit blasphemy will not be forgiven 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man it will be forgiven to him; but whoever speaks against the Spirit Holy it will not be forgiven to him neither in this age nor in the one coming. 33 Either make the tree good and the fruit of it good, or make the tree bad and the fruit of it bad; for of by the fruit the tree is known. 34 Offspring of vipers how can ye good things to speak evil being? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of the good treasure puts forth good things and the evil man out of the evil treasure puts for the evil things. 36 But I tell you that every word idle which will speak the men, they will render concerning it account in the day of judgment; 37 for of the words of thee thou wilt be justified, and of the words of thee thou wilt be condemned.

Greater than Solomon here

12:38 Then answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees sang Teacher we wish from thee a sign to see. 39 But he answering said to them; generation an evil and adulterous a sign seeks, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Jonas the prophet. 40 For as was Jonas in the belly of the sea monster three days and three nights, so will be the Son of man in the heart of the earth three days and three

nights. 41 Men Ninevites will stand up in the judgment with the generation this and will condemn it; because they repented at the proclamation of Jonas, and behold a greater thing than Jonas here. 42 The queen of the south will be raised in the judgment with the generation this and will condemn it; because she came out of the limits of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater thing than Solomon is here.

Who is the mother of me, and who are the brothers f me? 49 And stretching forth the hand of him on the disciples of him he said: Behold the mother of me and the brothers of me. 50 For whoever does the will of the Father of me in heavens he of me brother and sister and mother is.

13:1-23

Sower

13:1 On the day that going out of Jesus of the house sat beside the sea 2 and were assembled to him crowds many, so as him in a ship embarking to sit, and all the crowd on the beach stood. 3 And he spoke to them many things in parables saying; Behold went out the one sowing to sow 4 And in the to sow him some indeed fell beside the way and coming the birds devoured them. 5 But others fell on the rocky places where not it had earth much, and immediately it sprang up on account of not to have depth of earth; 6 the sun But having risen it was scorched, and on account of the not to have root it was dried up. 7 But others fell on the thorns, and came up the thorns and choked them. 8 And others fell on the earth the good and gave fruit, the one a hundred, the other sixty, the other thirty. 9 The one having ears let him hear. 10 (Note: 2nd part re explanation of sower and seeds) And (then) approaching the disciples said to him: Why in parables speakest thou to them? 11 And he answering said: Because to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those it has not been given. 12 He who for has, it will be given to him and he will have abundance; but he who has not, even what he has will be taken from him. 13 Therefore in parables to them I speak, because seeing they see not and hearing they hear not neither understand. 14 And is fulfilled in them the

prophecy of Isaiah saying:In hearing ye will hear and by no means understand and seeing ye will see and by no means perceive. 15 For waxed gross the heart people of this, and with the ears heavily they heard, an the eyes of them they closed; lest they see with the eyes and with the ears hear and with the heart understand and turn back and I will heal them. 16 But of you blessed the eyes because they see, and the ears of you because they hear. 17 truly For I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see and did not see, and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear. 18 ye therefore hear the parable of the sowing one. 19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding come the evil one and seizes the thing having been sown in the heart of him; this is the word by the way sown, the 20 word And on the rocky places sown, this is the one the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it: 21 but he has not root in himself but short-lived is and occurring tribulation or persecution on account of the crowd immediately he is offended. 22 But the word in the thorns sown, this is the one the word hearing, and the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches chokes the word, and unfruitful it becomes. 23 And the word on the good earth sown, this is the one the word hearing and understanding , who indeed bears fruit and produces one indeed a hundred, the other sixty, the other thirty.

13:24-35

..I will utter things hidden from the foundation

13:24 (Then) Another parable he set before them saying: was likened the kingdom of the heavens to a man sowing good seed in the field of him. 25 But in the to sleep men came of him the enemy and oversowed tares in between the wheat and went away. 26 But when sprouted the grass and fruit produced then appeared also the tares. 27 So approaching the slaves of the housemaster said to him: Lord, not good seed sowedst thou in thy field? when then has it tares? 28 And he said to them: An enemy man this did. so the slaves to him say. Willest thou them going away we may collect them? 29 the But says: No lest collecting the tares ye should root up together with them the wheat 30 Leave to grow together both until the harvest; and in time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Collect ye first the ? and bind them in bundles to burn

them but the wheat gather ye into the barn of me.31 Another parable he set before them saying: Like is the kingdom of the havens to a grain of mustard, which taking a man sowed in the field of him: 32 which less indeed is than all the seeds, but when it grows, greater than the herbs it is and becomes a tree, so as to come the birds of the heaven and dwell in the branches of it. 33 another parable he spoke to them: Like is the kingdom of the heavens to leaven, which taking a woman hid in of meal measures three, until was leavened the whole. 34 These things all spake Jesus in parables to the crowds, and without a parable nothing he spoke to them: 35 so that was fulfilled the things spoken through the prophet saying: I will opening parables the mouth of me, will utter things having been hidden from the foundation.

Housemaster - new and old things

13:36 Then sending away the crowds he came into the house, And approached to him the disciples of him saying: Explain thou to us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 and he answering said: The one sowing the good seed is the Son of man: 38 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom: and the tares are the sons of the evil one. 39 the and enemy the one sowing them is the evil; and the harvest the completion of the age is, and the reapers angels are. 40 As therefore are colleted the tares and with fire are consumed, thus it will be at the completion of the age: 41 will send forth the Son of man the angels of him and they will collect out of the kingdom of him all the things leading to sin and the ones doing lawlessness. 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father of them. The one having ears let him hear. 44 Like is the kingdom

of the heavens to treasure having been hidden in the field, which finding a man hid, and from the joy of him goes and sells what things he has and buys field that. 45 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a merchant seeking beautiful pearls; 46 and finding one valuable pearl going away sold all things what he had and bought it. 47 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a net cast into the sea and of every kind gathering; 48 which when it was filled bringing up onto the shore and sitting collected the good into vessels, but the bad out cast. 49 Thus it will be at the completion of the age. will go forth the angels and will separate the evil men from the midst of the righteous. 50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth. 51 Did ye understand these things all? They say to him: Yes 52 So he said to them: Therefore every scribe made a disciple to the kingdom of the heavens like is to a man a housemaster who puts forth out of the treasure of him new and old things.
