3 Many possessions.

19:16-30

.. One approaching

16 And behold one approaching to him said; Teacher what good thing may I do that I may have life eternal? And he said to him; 17 Why me questionest thou concerning the good? one is the good; but if thou wishest into life to enter, keep the commandments. 18 He says to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour the(thy) father and the(thy mother, and Thou shalt love the neighbour of thee as thyself. 20 Says to him the young man; These things all I kept; what yet do I lack? 21 Said to him Jesus If thou wishest perfect to be, go sell of thee the belongings and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heavens; and come follow me. 22 But hearing the young man word (this) went away grieving; for he was having possessions many. 23 So Jesus said to the disciples of him; Truly I tell you that a rich man hardly will enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 24 And

24 And again I tell you, easier it is a camel through the eye of a needle to enter than a rich man into the kingdom of God 25 And hearing the disciples were astounded exceedingly saying: Who then can to be saved? 26 And looking upon Jesus said to them; With men this impossible is, but with God all things are possible. 27 Then answering Peter said to him; Behold we left all things and followed thee; what then shall we have to us 28 And Jesus said to them; Truly I tell you that ye the ones having followed me, in the regeneration, when sits the Son of man on the throne of glory of him, ye will sit also yourselves on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for the sake of my name, manifold will receive and life eternal will inherit. 30 But many will be first last and last first.

4 Making demands.

20:1-16

Housemaster paying c/f agreement

Ch 20:1 For like is the kingdom of heavens to a man a housemaster, who went out early in the morning to hire workmen in the vineyard of him. 2 and agreeing with the workmen out of denarius the day he sent them into the vineyard of him. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing in the marketplace idle, 4 and to those said; (Note: Jesus as compared with housemaster)Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatever may be just I will give you. and they went. 5 And again going out about the sixth and ninth hour he did similarly. 6 And about the eleventh going he found others standing and says to them; Why here stand ye all the day idle? 7 They say to him; Because no one us hired. He says to them; Go also ye into the vineyard. 8 And evening having come says the lord of the vineyard to the steward

of him. Call the workmen and pay the wage, beginning from the last ones until the first. 9 And coming the ones about the eleventh hour received each a denarius. 10 And coming the first supposed that more they will receive; and they received the each denarius also themselves. 11 And receiving they grumbled against the housemaster saying 12 These the last one hour wrought and equal them to us thou madest the ones having borne the burden of the day and the heat. 13 But he answering one of them said; Comrade, I do not injure thee; not of (for) a denarius thou didst agree with me? 14 take the thine and go. But I wish to this the last man to give as also to thee 15 Is it not lawful to me what I wish to do among the my things? or the eye of thee evil is because I good am? 16 thus will be the last ones first and the first last.

5 Condemnation. . . .

20:17-20

They will deliver him

17 And being about to go up Jesus to Jerusalem he took the twelve privately and in the way said to them: 18 Behold we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and

scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19 and they will deliver him to the nations for to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and on the third day he will be raised.

6 Ambition . . .

20:20-28

Request of Zebedee sons

20 Then approached to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with the sons of her doing obeisance and asking something from him. 21 And he said to her: what wishest thou? She says to him: Say that may sit these the two sons of me one on the right and one on the left of thee in the kingdom of thee. 22 And answering the Jesus said: Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye to drink the cup which I am about to bring? They say to him: We can 23 He says to them: Indeed the cup of me ye shall drink, but to sit on the right of me and on the left is not mine this to give, but to whom it

has been prepared by the Father of me. 24 And hearing the ten were incensed about the two brothers. 25 So Jesus calling forward them said: Ye know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them and the great ones have authority over them. 26 Not thus is it among you, but whoever wishes among you great to become will be of you servant, 27 and whoever wishes among you to be first, he shall be of you slave, 28 as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give the life of him a ransom instead of many. (Note: 2nd half explains 1st half)

20:29-34

2 blind men rebuked by crowd

29 and going out them from Jericho followed him crowd a much. 30 And behold two blind men sitting beside the way, hearing that Jesus is passing by cried out saying. Lord, pity us, son of David. 31 but the crowd rebuked them that they should be silent; but they more cried out saying;

Lord pity us, son of David. 32And standing Jesus called them and said: What wish ye I may do to you? 33 they say to him: Lord, that may be opened the eyes of us. 34 And being filled with tenderness Jesus touched the eyes of them, and immediately they saw again and followed him.

8 Vestiges of greatness. . . .

21:1-11

disciples with ass-garments stewn

Ch 21:1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage to the mount of the olives, then Jesus sent two disciples 2 telling them; Go ye into the village opposite you, and at once ye will find an ass having been tied and a colt with her/it; loosening bring to me. 3 And if anyone to you says anything ye shall say The Lord of them need has; and immediately he will send them. 4 Now this has happened that might be fulfilled the thing spoken through the prophet saying 5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion; Behold the king of thee comes to thee meek and having mounted on an ass and on a colt son of an ass. 6 and going the

disciples and doing as directed them Jesus 7 they brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat on them. 8 and the very large crowd strewed of themselves the garments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees and strewed in the way. 9 And the crowds the ones going before him and the ones following cried out saying: Hosanna to the son of David; blessed the one coming in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest 10 and entering him into Jerusalem was shaken all the city saying; Who is this? 11 and the crowds said; This is the prophet Jesus the one from Nazareth of Galilee.

9. Money from religion. . . .

21:12-17

Money lenders

21:12 and entered Jesus into the temple and cast out all the ones selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changes he overturned and the seats of the ones selling the doves 13 and says to them: It has been written: The house of me a house of prayer shall be called, ye but it are making a den of robbers. 14 and approached to him blind and lame (ones) in the temple, and he healed them. 15 Seeing but the chief priests

and the scribes the marvels which he did and the children crying out in the temple and saying; Hosanna to the some of David, they were incensed 16 and said to him: Hearest what these are saying? And Jesus says to them: Yes; never did ye read, Out of the mouth of infants and sucking ones thou didst prepare praise? 17 and leaving them he went forth outside the city to Bethany, and lodged there. (Note: 2nd part explains 1st part)

10 False appearances. . . .

21:18-22

...Curse of fig tree

21:18 Now early going up to the city he hungered 19 And seeing fig-tree one on the way he went up to it, and nothing found in it except leaves only, and says to it: Never of thee fruit may be to the age. And was dried up instantly the fig-tree. 20 And seeing the disciples marvelled saying: How instantly was withered the fig-tree?

21 and answering Jesus said to them: Truly I say to you, If ye have faith ad do not doubt not only the of the fig-tree ye will do, but also if mountain to this ye say: Be thou taken and cast into the sea, it shall be: 22 And all things whatever ye may ask in prayer believing ye shall receive.

11 Reliance on rank. . . .

21:23-46

..Chief priests criticised

21:23 and coming him into the temple approached to him teaching the chief priest said the elders of the people saying: By what authority these things doest thou? and who thee gave authority this? 24 and answering Jesus said to them: will question you I also word one which if ye tell me, I also you will tell by what authority these things I do: 25 The baptism of John whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves saying: If we say: From heaven, he will say to us: Why then believed ye not him? 26 But if we say: From men, we fear the crowd; for all as a prophet have John 27 and answering Jesus they said: We do not know, said to them also He: Neither I tell you by what authority these things I do. 28 But what to you seems it? A man had children two: approaching to the first he said: Child, go to-day work in the vineyard. 29 But he answering said: I go Lord and went not. 30 and approaching to the second he said similarly. and he answering said: I will not, later repenting he went. 31 which of the two did the will of the father? They say: The latter. Says to them Jesus: Truly I tell you the Tax-collectors and the harlets are going before you into the kingdom of God. 32 For came John to you in a way of righteousness and ye believed not him: but the tax-collectors and the harlets believed him; but ye seeing not repented later to believe him 33 another parable hear ye. A man there was a housemaster who planted a vineyard and a hedge it put round and dug in it a winepress and built a tower and let it to husbandmen,

and departed.34 and when drew near the time of the fruits, he sent the slaves of him to the husbandmen to receive the fruits of it. 35 and taking the husbandmen the slaves of him this one they flogged that one they killed, another they stoned. 36 Again he sent other slaves more than the first ones and they did to them similarly. 37 But later he sent to them the son of him saying: They will reverence the son of me. 38 But the husbandmen seeing the son said among themselves: This is the heir; come let us kill him and let us possess the inheritance of him; 39 and taking him they cast out outside the vineyard and killed. 40 when therefore comes the lord of the vineyard, what will he do husbandmen to those? 41 They say to him: Bad men badly he will destroy them, and the vineyard he will give out to other husbandmen, who will render to him the fruits in the seasons of them. 42 Says to them Jesus: Did ye never read in the Scriptures: A stone which rejected the building ones this became head of the corner; from the Lord became this, and it is marvellous in the eyes of us? 43 therefore I tell you, will be taken from you the kingdom of God and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it. 44 And the one falling on stone this will be broken in pieces; but on whomever it falls it will crush to powder him. 45 And hearing the chief priests and the Pharisees the parables of him they knew that concerning them he tells; 46 and seeking him to seize they feared the crowds, since for a prophet him they had. (Note: The parable explains the first part)

12 Privilege.

22:1-14

Wedding Feast

Ch 22:1 And answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them saying 2 Was likened the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who made a wedding feast for the son of him. 3 And he sent the slaves of him to call the ones having been invited to the feast, and they wished not to come. 4 Again he sent other slaves saying Tell the ones having been invited; Behold the supper of me I have prepared, the oxen of me and the fatted beasts having been killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast. 5 But they not caring went off, one to the own field, another on the trading of him; 6 and the rest seizing the slaves of him insulted and killed. 7 So the king became angry and sending the armies of him destroyed murderers those and the city of them

burned.8 Then he says to the slaves of him: Indeed the feast ready is, but the ones have in been invited were not worthy; 9 go ye therefore onto the partings of the ways, and as many as ye find call to the feast. 10 And going forth slaves those into the ways assembled all whom they found, both bad and good; and was filled the wedding chamber of (with) reclining ones. 11 But entering the king to behold the reclining ones he saw there a man not having been dressed dress of wedding 12 and he says to him: Comrade, how enteredst thou here not having a dress of wedding and he was silenced. 13 Then the king said to the servants; Binding of him feet and hands throw out him into the darkness outer: there will be the wailing and the gnashing o the teeth. 14 For many are called, but few chosen.

13 Separatism.

22:15-22

Pharisee disciples, Herodians & Caesar's coin

22:15 Then going the Pharisees counsel took so as him they might ensnare in a word. 16 And they send to him the disciples of them with the Herodians saying: Teacher, we know that truthful thou art and the way of God in truth thou teachest, and not it concerns to thee about no one not for thou lookest to face of men; 17 tell therefore us, what to thee seems it? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or no? 18 But knowing Jesus the

wickedness of them said: Why me tempt ye, hypocrites? 19 show me the money of the tribute. And they brought to him a denarius. 20 And he says to them: Of whom image this and superscription? 21 They say: Of Caesar. Then he says to them: Render then the things of Caesar to Caesar and the things of God to God. 22 And hearing they marvelled, and leaving him went away.

14 Anthropromorphism. . . .

22:23-33

Sadducees re-marriage after death

22:23 On that day approached to him Sadducees, saying not to be a resurrection and questioned him 24 saying: Teacher, Moses said if any man dies not having children shall take to wife after the brother of him the wife of him and shall raise up seed to the brother of him. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first having married died, and not having seed left the wife of him to the brother of him; 26 likewise also the second and the third, until the seven. 27 last And of all died the woman. 28 In the resurrection then of which of the seven will she be wife? For all had her.

29 answering And Jesus said to them. Ye err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection neither they marry nor are given in marriage, but as angels in the heaven are. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead did ye not read the thing said to you by God saying: 32 I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of dead men but of living (ones). 33 And hearing the crowds were astounded over (at) the teaching of him.

15 Legalism. . . .

22:34-40

Lawyer tempting

22:34 But the Pharisees hearing that he silenced the Sadducees, were assembled together, 35 and questioned one of them a lawyer tempting him: 36 Teacher, what commandment is great in the law? 37 And he said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord the God of thee with all the heart of thee and with

all the soul of thee and with all the understanding of thee. 38 This is the great and the first commandment. 39 The second is like to it; Thou shalt love the neighbour of thee as thyself. 40 In these two commandments all the law hangs and the prophets.

16 Narrowness

22:41-46

Christ the son of David?

41 And having assembled the Pharisees questioned them Jesus 42 saying: What to you seems it concerning the Christ? of whom son is he? They say to him: of David. 43 He says to them: How then David in spirit calls him Lord saying:

44 Said the Lord to the Lord of me Sit on (out of) the right of me until I put the enemies of thee underneath the feet of thee? 45 If then David calls him Lord, how son of him is he? 46 And no one was able to answer him a word nor dared anyone from that day to question him no more.

17 Hypocrisy. . . . .

23:1-38

...Scribes

Ch 23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to the disciples of him 2 saying: On the of Moses seat sat the scribes and the Pharisees. 3 All things therefore whatever they may tell you do ye and keep, but according to the works of them do ye not; for they say and do not. 4 And they bind burdens heavy and put on the shoulders of men; but they with the finger of them not are willing to move them. 5 But all the works of them they do for to be ween by men; for they broaden the phylacteries of them and enlarge the fringes, 6 and they like the chief place in the suppers and the chief seats in the synagogues 7 and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called by men rabbi. 8 But ye be not called rabbi; for one is of you the teacher, and all ye brothers are. 9 And father cal ye not of you on the earth; for one is of you the Father heavenly. 10 Neither be ye called leaders, because leader of you is one the Christ. 11 And the greater of you shall be of you servant. 12 and he who will exalt himself shall be humbled and he who will humble himself shall be exalted. 13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, because ye shut the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye do not enter nor the tones entering do y allow to enter. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because ye go about the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than you. 16 Woe to you, leaders blind the ones saying: Whoever swears by the shrine noting it is; but whoever swears by the gold of the shrine, he owes. 17 Fools and blind, for which greater is, the gold or the shrine sanctifying the gold. 18 and whoever swears by the latter, nothing it is; but whoever swears by the gift upon it, he owes. 19 Blind, for which is greater the gift or the altar sanctifying the gift? 20 Therefore the one swearing by the altar swears by it and by all the things upon it; 21 and the one swearing by the shrine swears by it and by the one inhabiting it. 22 And the one swearing by the heaven swears by the throne of God and by the one sitting upon it. 23 Woe to you,

scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, because ye tithe the mint and the dill and the cummin, and ye have left the heavier things of the law, judgement and mercy and faith; but these things it behoved to do and those not to leave. 24 Leaders blind, the ones straining the gnat, but the camel swallowing. 25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but within they are full of robbery and intemperance. 26 Pharisee blind, cleanse thou first the inside of the cup that may be also the outside of it clean. 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, because ye resemble graves having been whitewashed, who outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within they are full of bones of dead men and of all uncleanness. 28 thus also ye outwardly indeed appear to men righteous, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and of lawlessness 29 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, because ye build the graves of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say: If we were in the days of the fathers of us, we would not have been of them partakers in the blood of the prophets. 31 So ye witness to yourselves that sons ye are of the ones having killed the prophets. 32 And ye fulfil the measure of the fathers of you. 33 Serpents, offspring of vipers, how escape ye from the judgment of gehenna? 34 Therefore behold I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes of them ye will kill and will crucify, and of them ye will scourge in the synagogues of you and will persecute from city to city: 35 so comes on you all blood righteous being shed on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous until the blood of Zacharias son Barachias, whom ye murdered between the shrine and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, will come all these things on generation this. 37 Jerusalem Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and strong the ones sent to her, how often I wished to gather the children of thee as a bird gathers the young of her under the wings, and ye wished not. 38 Behold is left to you the house of you 39 For I tell you, by no means me ye see from now until ye say: Blessed the one coming in the name of the Lord.

18 Temple reliance. . . .

24:1-2

..Not a stone left on a stone

Ch 24:1 And going forth Jesus from the temple went, and approached the disciples of him to show him the buildings of the temple. 2 And he answering said to them: Seek ye not all these things? Truly I tell you, by no means will be left here stone on stone which shall not be overthrown.

19 False Prophecy. . . .

24:3-24

..false prophets will be raised

24:3 Sitting and him on the mount of the olives approached to him the disciples privately saying: Tell us, when these things will be, and what the sign of thy presence and of the completion of the age? 4 And answering Jesus said to them: See y not lest anyone you cause to err. 5 For many will come on in the name of me saying: I am the Christ and many will cause to err. 6 But ye will be about to hear of wars and rumours of wars: see not ye are disturbed; for it behoves to happen. but not et is the end. 7 For will be raised nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be famines and earthquakes throughout places; 8 but all these things are beginning of birth-pangs 9 then they will deliver you to affliction and will kill you, and ye will be being hated by all the nations because of the name of me. 10 and then will be offended man and one another will deliver and they will hate one another; 11 and many false prophets will be raised and will cause to err many: 12 and because to be increased the lawlessness will grow cold the love of the many. 13 But the one enduring to the end, this will be saved. 14 and will be

proclaimed this gospel of the kingdom in all the inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end. 15 when therefore ye see the abomination of desolation spoken through Daniel the prophet stand in place holy, the one reading let him understand. 16 Then the ones in Judea let them flee to the mountains, 17 the one on the housetop let him not come down to take the things out of the house of him. 18 and the one in the field let him not turn back behind to take the garment of him. 19 woe and to the women in womb having and to the ones giving suck in those days 20 and pray ye lest happen the flight of you in winter nor on a Sabbath 21 for will be then affliction great, such as not has happened from the beginning of the world until now neither by no means may happen 22 and except were cut short days those, not was saved all flesh; but on account of the chosen will be cut short days those. 23 then if anyone to you says: Behold here the Christ, or: Here do not believe; 24 for will be raised false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs great and marvels, so as to cause to err, if possible, even the chosen.

20 Lack of Watchfulness. . . .

24:25-51

..Watch ye therefore

24:25 Behold I have before told you. 26 If therefore they say to you: Behold in the desert he is, go not ye forth: Behold in the private rooms, do not ye believe: 27 for as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines unto the west, so will be the presence of the Son of man: 28 wherever may be the carcase, there will be assembled the eagles. 29 And immediately after the affliction the days of those the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give the light of her, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 and then will appear the sign o the Son of man in heaven, and then will bewail all the tribes of the land and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and glory much; 31 and he will send the angels of him with trumpet a great, and they will assemble the chosen of him out of the four winds from the extremities of the heavens unto the extremities of them. 32 from now the fig-tree learn ye the parable: When now the branch of it becomes tender and the leaves it puts forth, ye know that near the summer; 33 so also ye when ye see all these things, know that near it is on the doors. 34 Truly I tell you that by no means passes away generation this until all these things happens. 35 The heaven and the earth will pass away, the but words of me by no means may pass away. 3 concerning But day that and hour no one knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son except the Father only. 37 For as the days of

Noah, so will be the presence of the Son of man. 38 For as they were in days those the ones before the flood eating and drinking marrying and being given in marriage, until which day entered Noah into the ark, 39 and knew not until came the flood and took all, so will be also the presence of the Son of man. 40 Then will be two men in the field, one is taken and one is left; 41 two women grinding in the mill, one is taken and one is left. 42 Watch ye therefore, because ye know not on what say the lord of you is coming. 43 And that know ye that if knew the housemaster in what watch the thief is coming, he would have watched an would not have allowed to be dug through the house of him. 44 therefore also ye be ready, because in which ye think not hour the son of man comes. 45 who then is the faithful slave and prudent whom appointed the lord over the household of him to give to them the food in season? 46 blessed is the slave that whom coming the lord of him will find so doing. 47 truly I tell you that over all the goods of him he will appoint him. 48 But if says wicked slave that in the heart of him: Delays of me the lord, 49 and begins to strike the fellow-slaves of him, and eats and drinks with the ones being drunk, 50 will come the lord slave of that on a day on which he does not expect and in an hour in which not he knows 51 and will cut asunder him, and the portion of him with the hypocrites will place; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth.

21 Presumption. . . .

25:1-13

Ten virgins

Ch 25:1 Then shall be likened the kingdom of the heavens to ten virgins, who taking the lamps of them went forth to a meeting of the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were foolish and five prudent. 3 For the foolish taking the lamps did not take with them oil. 4 But the prudent ones took oil in the vessels with the lamps of them. 5 But delaying the bridegroom slumbered all and slept. 6 And in the middle of the night a cry there has been: Behold the bridegroom, go ye forth to a meeting. 7 Then were raised all the virgins those and trimmed the lamps of them. 8 So the foolish ones to

the prudent said: Give us of the oil of you, because the lamps of us are being quenched. 9 But answered the prudent saying: Lest by no means it suffices to us and to you; Go ye rather to the ones selling and buy for yourselves. 10 And going away them to buy came the bridegroom and the ready ones went in with him to the wedding festivities, and was shut the door. 11 Then later come also the remaining virgins saying: Lord Lord, open to us. 12 But he answering said: (Note: Jesus as Bridegroom (?)Truly I say to you, I know not you. 13 Watch ye therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour.

22 Lack of development. . . .

25:14-30

dug earth and hid

25:14 As for a man going from home called the his own slaves and delivered to them the goods of him. 15 and to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to the own ability and went from home. 16 Immediately going the one the five talents receiving traded in them and gained other five. 17 Similarly the one the two gained other two. 18 But the one the one receiving going away dug earth and hid the silver of the lord of him. 19 then after much time comes the lord slaves of those and takes account with them. 20 And approaching the one the five talents receiving brought other five talents saying: Lord, five talents to me thou deliverest; behold other five talents I gained. 21 Said to him the Lord of him:(Note: Jesus as Lord ?) Well, slave good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many thee I will set; enter thou into the joy of the lord of thee. 22 Approaching also the one the two talents said: Lord, two talents to me thou deliverest; behold other two talents I gained.

23 Said to him the lord of him: Well, slave good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many thee I will set; enter thou into the joy of the lord of thee. 24 approaching. And also the one the one talent having received said: Lord, I knew thee that a hard thou art man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering whence thou didst not scatter; 25 and fearing going away I hid the talent of thee in the earth; behold thou hast the thine 26 And answering the lord of him said to him:(Note Jesus as Lord) Evil slave and slothful thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and I gather whence I did not scatter? 27 It behoved thee therefore to put the silver pieces of me to the bankers, and coming I would have received the mine with interest. 28 Take therefore from him the talent and give to the one having the ten talents; 29 for to having everyone will be given and he will have abundance; but from the one not having even what he has will be taken from him 30 And the useless slave cast ye out into the darkness outer; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth.

23 lack of accountability . . . .

25:31-46

the least

25: 31 And when comes the Son of man in the glory of him and all the angels with him, then he will sit on a throne of glory of him; 32 And will be assembled before him all the nations, and he will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and will set the sheep on the right of him, but the goats on the left. 34 Then will say the king (Note, Jesus as King) to the ones on the right of him; Come the ones blessed of the Father of me, inherit ye the having been prepared for you kingdom from the foundation of the world.35 For I hungered and ye gave me to eat, I thirsted and ye gave drink me, a stranger I was and ye entertained me, 36 naked and ye clothed me, I ailed and ye visited me, in prison I was and ye came to me. 37 Then will answer him the righteous saying; Lord, when thee saw we hungering and fed, or thirsting and gave drink? 38 And when thee saw we a stranger and

entertained, or naked and clothed? 39 and when thee saw we ailing or in prison and came to thee? 40 And answering the king will say to them: truly I tell you, in as much as ye did to one of these brothers of me the least, to me ye did. 41 Then he will say also to the ones on the left; Go from me having been cursed into the fire eternal having been prepared for the devil and the angels of him. 42 For I hungered and ye gave not me to eat, I thirsted and ye gave not drink me, 43 a stranger I was and ye entertained not me, naked and ye clothed not me, ill and in prison and ye visited not me. 44 Then will answer also they saying: Lord, when thee saw we hungering or thirsting or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison and did not minister to thee 45 Then he will answer them saying: Truly I tell you, inasmuch as ye did not to one of these least ones neither to me ye did. 46 And will go away these into punishment, eternal, but the righteous into life eternal.
