Luke - douay rheims

Chapter 12

¹ AND when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
² For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
³ For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
⁴ And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
⁵ But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.
⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
⁷ Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
⁸ And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
⁹ But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
¹⁰ And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
¹¹ And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
¹² For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
¹³ And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
¹⁴ But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
¹⁵ And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
¹⁶ And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
¹⁷ And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
¹⁸ And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
¹⁹ And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
²⁰ But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
²² And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
²³ The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.
²⁴ Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
²⁵ And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
²⁶ If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
²⁸ Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?
²⁹ And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
³¹ But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
³² Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
³³ Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
³⁴ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
³⁵ Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.
³⁶ And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.
³⁸ And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
³⁹ But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
⁴⁰ Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.
⁴¹ And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
⁴² And the Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season?
⁴³ Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
⁴⁴ Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth.
⁴⁵ But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk:
⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers.
⁴⁷ And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
⁴⁹ I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
⁵⁰ And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
⁵¹ Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.
⁵² For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
⁵³ The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
⁵⁴ And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth:
⁵⁵ And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass.
⁵⁶ You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?
⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?
⁵⁸ And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.
⁵⁹ I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.

Chapter 12

¹ In the mean time, when there was gathered an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
² For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
³ Therefore, whatever ye have spoken in darkness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
⁴ And I say to you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
⁵ But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.
⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
⁷ But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
⁸ Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
⁹ But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
¹⁰ And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.
¹¹ And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
¹² For the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
¹³ And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
¹⁴ And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?
¹⁵ And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
¹⁶ And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
¹⁷ And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to deposit my fruits?
¹⁸ And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I deposit all my fruits and my goods.
¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
²⁰ But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
²² And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
²³ The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
²⁴ Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them: How much more are ye better than the fowls?
²⁵ And which of you by solicitude can add to his stature one cubit?
²⁶ If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for the rest?
²⁷ Consider the lilies how they grow: They toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
²⁸ If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
²⁹ And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
³¹ But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
³² Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
³³ Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
³⁴ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
³⁵ Let your loins be girt, and your lights burning;
³⁶ And ye yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them.
³⁸ And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
³⁹ And this know, that if the master of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would watch, and not suffer his house to be broken through.
⁴⁰ Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
⁴¹ Then Peter said to him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or even to all?
⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of provisions in due season?
⁴³ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
⁴⁴ In truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
⁴⁵ But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the men-servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken?
⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and committed things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more.
⁴⁹ I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it is already kindled?
⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it shall be accomplished!
⁵¹ Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
⁵² For from henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
⁵³ The father will be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
⁵⁴ And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
⁵⁵ And when ye perceive the south wind blowing, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, and of the earth; but how is it, that ye do not discern this time?
⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
⁵⁸ When thou goest with thy adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he draw thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
⁵⁹ I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

¹⁴ he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
¹⁵ said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
¹⁶ spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
¹⁷ reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I don't have room to store my crops?'
¹⁸ said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
¹⁹ will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
²⁰ God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared--whose will they be?'
²¹ is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
²² said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
²³ is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
²⁴ the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
²⁵ of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
²⁶ then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
²⁷ the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
²⁸ if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
²⁹ seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
³⁰ the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
³¹ seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

³⁴ where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
³⁵ your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
³⁶ like men watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.

³⁸ will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.
³⁹ know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.
⁴⁰ be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don't expect him."
⁴¹ said to him, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?"
⁴² Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
⁴³ is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
⁴⁴ I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
⁴⁵ if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
⁴⁶ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn't expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn't know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
⁴⁷ servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

⁴⁹ came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
⁵⁰ I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
⁵¹ you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
⁵² from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
⁵³ will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
⁵⁴ said to the multitudes also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
⁵⁵ a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
⁵⁶ hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don't interpret this time?
⁵⁷ don't you judge for yourselves what is right?
⁵⁸ when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
⁵⁹ tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."

Chapter 12

¹ In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
² but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;
³ therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
⁴ But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.
⁵ But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear *him*.
⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
⁷ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.
⁸ But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;
⁹ but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
¹⁰ and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
¹¹ But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
¹² for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
¹³ And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
¹⁴ But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
¹⁵ And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.
¹⁶ And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
¹⁷ And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
¹⁸ And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
²⁰ But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
²¹ Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
²² And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
²³ The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
²⁴ Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are *ye* than the birds?
²⁵ But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
²⁶ If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
²⁷ Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
²⁸ But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?
²⁹ And *ye*, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
³⁰ for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;
³¹ but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.
³² Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
³³ Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
³⁴ For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;
³⁶ and *ye* like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
³⁷ Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.
³⁸ And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, blessed are those [bondmen].
³⁹ But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
⁴⁰ And ye therefore, be *ye* ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.
⁴¹ And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?
⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?
⁴³ Blessed is that bondman whom his lord [on] coming shall find doing thus;
⁴⁴ verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.
⁴⁵ But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,
⁴⁶ the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
⁴⁷ But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
⁴⁸ but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
⁴⁹ I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?
⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!
⁵¹ Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
⁵² for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
⁵³ father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
⁵⁴ And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.
⁵⁵ And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.
⁵⁶ Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?
⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
⁵⁸ For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
⁵⁹ I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.

¹ In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
² But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
³ Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
⁴ And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
⁵ But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.

¹⁴ But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
¹⁵ And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
¹⁶ And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
¹⁷ and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
¹⁸ And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
²⁰ But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
²² And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
²³ For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
²⁴ Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
²⁵ And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?
²⁶ If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
²⁸ But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
²⁹ And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
³¹ Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
³² Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
³³ Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
³⁴ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
³⁶ and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
³⁸ And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so blessed are those [servants].
³⁹ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
⁴⁰ Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
⁴¹ And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
⁴³ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
⁴⁴ Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
⁴⁵ But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
⁴⁶ the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
⁴⁷ And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
⁴⁸ but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
⁴⁹ I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
⁵¹ Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
⁵² for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
⁵³ They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
⁵⁴ And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
⁵⁵ And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
⁵⁸ For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
⁵⁹ I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.

Chapter 12

¹ At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.
² But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.
³ So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.
⁴ And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.
⁵ But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.
⁶ Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.
⁷ But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
⁸ And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.
⁹ But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.
¹⁰ And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.
¹¹ And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:
¹² For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.
¹³ And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.
¹⁴ But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?
¹⁵ And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.
¹⁶ And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:
¹⁷ And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.
¹⁸ And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.
¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.
²⁰ But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
²¹ So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
²² And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.
²³ Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?
²⁴ Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!
²⁵ And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?
²⁶ If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?
²⁷ Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
²⁸ But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?
²⁹ And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.
³⁰ For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.
³¹ But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.
³² Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
³³ Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.
³⁴ For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.
³⁵ Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.
³⁶ And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.
³⁷ Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.
³⁸ And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.
³⁹ But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
⁴⁰ So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.
⁴¹ And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?
⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?
⁴³ Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.
⁴⁴ Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.
⁴⁵ But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine;
⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;
⁴⁷ And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;
⁴⁸ But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.
⁴⁹ I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.
⁵⁰ But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!
⁵¹ Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:
⁵² For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.
⁵³ They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
⁵⁴ Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.
⁵⁵ And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.
⁵⁶ O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?
⁵⁷ And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?
⁵⁸ For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.
⁵⁹ I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.
