Luke 12

GNT

1 ἐν οἷς ἐπισυναχθεισῶν τῶν μυριάδων τοῦ ὄχλου, ὥστε καταπατεῖν ἀλλήλους, ἤρξατο λέγειν πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ πρῶτον, προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης, ἥτις ἐστὶν ὑπόκρισις, τῶν φαρισαίων.

2 οὐδὲν δὲ συγκεκαλυμμένον ἐστὶν ὃ οὐκ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται, καὶ κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται.

3 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ὅσα ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ εἴπατε ἐν τῶ φωτὶ ἀκουσθήσεται, καὶ ὃ πρὸς τὸ οὗς ἐλαλήσατε ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις κηρυχθήσεται ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων.

4 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν τοῖς φίλοις μου, μὴ φοβηθῆτε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποκτεινόντων τὸ σῶμα καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα μὴ ἐχόντων περισσότερόν τι ποιῆσαι.

5 ὑποδείξω δὲ ὑμῖν τίνα φοβηθῆτε· φοβήθητε τὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀποκτεῖναι ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν ἐμβαλεῖν εἰς τὴν γέενναν· ναί, λέγω ὑμῖν, τοῦτον φοβήθητε.

6 οὐχὶ πέντε στρουθία πωλοῦνται ἀσσαρίων δύο; καὶ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ αἱ τρίχες τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται. μὴ φοβεῖσθε· πολλῶν στρουθίων διαφέρετε.

8 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, πᾶς ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁμολογήσει ἐν αὐτῶ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ θεοῦ·

9 ὁ δὲ ἀρνησάμενός με ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρνηθήσεται ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ θεοῦ.

10 καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐρεῖ λόγον εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῶ· τῶ δὲ εἰς τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα βλασφημήσαντι οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται.

11 ὅταν δὲ εἰσφέρωσιν ὑμᾶς ἐπὶ τὰς συναγωγὰς καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας, μὴ μεριμνήσητε πῶς ἢ τί ἀπολογήσησθε ἢ τί εἴπητε·

12 τὸ γὰρ ἅγιον πνεῦμα διδάξει ὑμᾶς ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἃ δεῖ εἰπεῖν.

13 εἶπεν δέ τις ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου αὐτῶ, διδάσκαλε, εἰπὲ τῶ ἀδελφῶ μου μερίσασθαι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὴν κληρονομίαν.

14 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἄνθρωπε, τίς με κατέστησεν κριτὴν ἢ μεριστὴν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς;

15 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς, ὁρᾶτε καὶ φυλάσσεσθε ἀπὸ πάσης πλεονεξίας, ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῶ περισσεύειν τινὶ ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῶ.

16 εἶπεν δὲ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων, ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα.

17 καὶ διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῶ λέγων, τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω ποῦ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου;

18 καὶ εἶπεν, τοῦτο ποιήσω· καθελῶ μου τὰς ἀποθήκας καὶ μείζονας οἰκοδομήσω, καὶ συνάξω ἐκεῖ πάντα τὸν σῖτον καὶ τὰ ἀγαθά μου,

19 καὶ ἐρῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου, ψυχή, ἔχεις πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα εἰς ἔτη πολλά· ἀναπαύου, φάγε, πίε, εὐφραίνου.

20 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῶ ὁ θεός, ἄφρων, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου ἀπαιτοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ· ἃ δὲ ἡτοίμασας, τίνι ἔσται;

21 οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων ἑαυτῶ καὶ μὴ εἰς θεὸν πλουτῶν.

22 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς [αὐτοῦ], διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ τί φάγητε, μηδὲ τῶ σώματι τί ἐνδύσησθε.

23 ἡ γὰρ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστιν τῆς τροφῆς καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδύματος.

24 κατανοήσατε τοὺς κόρακας ὅτι οὐ σπείρουσιν οὐδὲ θερίζουσιν, οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ταμεῖον οὐδὲ ἀποθήκη, καὶ ὁ θεὸς τρέφει αὐτούς· πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμεῖς διαφέρετε τῶν πετεινῶν.

25 τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν μεριμνῶν δύναται ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλικίαν αὐτοῦ προσθεῖναι πῆχυν;

26 εἰ οὗν οὐδὲ ἐλάχιστον δύνασθε, τί περὶ τῶν λοιπῶν μεριμνᾶτε;

27 κατανοήσατε τὰ κρίνα πῶς αὐξάνει· οὐ κοπιᾷ οὐδὲ νήθει· λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ σολομὼν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ περιεβάλετο ὡς ἓν τούτων.

28 εἰ δὲ ἐν ἀγρῶ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον ὁ θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέζει, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοι.

29 καὶ ὑμεῖς μὴ ζητεῖτε τί φάγητε καὶ τί πίητε, καὶ μὴ μετεωρίζεσθε·

30 ταῦτα γὰρ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τοῦ κόσμου ἐπιζητοῦσιν· ὑμῶν δὲ ὁ πατὴρ οἶδεν ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων.

31 πλὴν ζητεῖτε τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταῦτα προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν.

32 μὴ φοβοῦ, τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον, ὅτι εὐδόκησεν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν βασιλείαν.

33 πωλήσατε τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ὑμῶν καὶ δότε ἐλεημοσύνην· ποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς βαλλάντια μὴ παλαιούμενα, θησαυρὸν ἀνέκλειπτον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ὅπου κλέπτης οὐκ ἐγγίζει οὐδὲ σὴς διαφθείρει·

34 ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν ἔσται.

35 ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι,

36 καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις τὸν κύριον ἑαυτῶν πότε ἀναλύσῃ ἐκ τῶν γάμων, ἵνα ἐλθόντος καὶ κρούσαντος εὐθέως ἀνοίξωσιν αὐτῶ.

37 μακάριοι οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι, οὓς ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος εὑρήσει γρηγοροῦντας· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι περιζώσεται καὶ ἀνακλινεῖ αὐτοὺς καὶ παρελθὼν διακονήσει αὐτοῖς.

38 κἂν ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ κἂν ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ φυλακῇ ἔλθῃ καὶ εὕρῃ οὕτως, μακάριοί εἰσιν ἐκεῖνοι.

39 τοῦτο δὲ γινώσκετε ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, οὐκ ἂν ἀφῆκεν διορυχθῆναι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

40 καὶ ὑμεῖς γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι, ὅτι ᾗ ὥρᾳ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.

41 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ πέτρος, κύριε, πρὸς ἡμᾶς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγεις ἢ καὶ πρὸς πάντας;

42 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος, τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς οἰκονόμος ὁ φρόνιμος, ὃν καταστήσει ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς θεραπείας αὐτοῦ τοῦ διδόναι ἐν καιρῶ [τὸ] σιτομέτριον;

43 μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος, ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει ποιοῦντα οὕτως·

44 ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.

45 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, χρονίζει ὁ κύριός μου ἔρχεσθαι, καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς παῖδας καὶ τὰς παιδίσκας, ἐσθίειν τε καὶ πίνειν καὶ μεθύσκεσθαι,

46 ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει, καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτὸν καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀπίστων θήσει.

47 ἐκεῖνος δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ὁ γνοὺς τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ ἑτοιμάσας ἢ ποιήσας πρὸς τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ δαρήσεται πολλάς·

48 ὁ δὲ μὴ γνούς, ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν, δαρήσεται ὀλίγας. παντὶ δὲ ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν.

49 πῦρ ἦλθον βαλεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη ἀνήφθη.

50 βάπτισμα δὲ ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ πῶς συνέχομαι ἕως ὅτου τελεσθῇ.

51 δοκεῖτε ὅτι εἰρήνην παρεγενόμην δοῦναι ἐν τῇ γῇ; οὐχί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ἢ διαμερισμόν.

52 ἔσονται γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν πέντε ἐν ἑνὶ οἴκῳ διαμεμερισμένοι, τρεῖς ἐπὶ δυσὶν καὶ δύο ἐπὶ τρισίν,

53 διαμερισθήσονται πατὴρ ἐπὶ υἱῶ καὶ υἱὸς ἐπὶ πατρί, μήτηρ ἐπὶ τὴν θυγατέρα καὶ θυγάτηρ ἐπὶ τὴν μητέρα, πενθερὰ ἐπὶ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς καὶ νύμφη ἐπὶ τὴν πενθεράν.

54 ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις, ὅταν ἴδητε [τὴν] νεφέλην ἀνατέλλουσαν ἐπὶ δυσμῶν, εὐθέως λέγετε ὅτι ὄμβρος ἔρχεται, καὶ γίνεται οὕτως·

55 καὶ ὅταν νότον πνέοντα, λέγετε ὅτι καύσων ἔσται, καὶ γίνεται.

56 ὑποκριταί, τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς καὶ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οἴδατε δοκιμάζειν, τὸν καιρὸν δὲ τοῦτον πῶς οὐκ οἴδατε δοκιμάζειν;

57 τί δὲ καὶ ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν οὐ κρίνετε τὸ δίκαιον;

58 ὡς γὰρ ὑπάγεις μετὰ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου σου ἐπ᾽ ἄρχοντα, ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ δὸς ἐργασίαν ἀπηλλάχθαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, μήποτε κατασύρῃ σε πρὸς τὸν κριτήν, καὶ ὁ κριτής σε παραδώσει τῶ πράκτορι, καὶ ὁ πράκτωρ σε βαλεῖ εἰς φυλακήν.

59 λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν ἕως καὶ τὸ ἔσχατον λεπτὸν ἀποδῶς.

1  In the mean time,^{1722 3739} when there were gathered together¹⁹⁹⁶ an innumerable multitude³⁴⁶¹ of people,³⁷⁹³ insomuch that⁵⁶²⁰ they trod²⁶⁶² one upon another,²⁴⁰ he began⁷⁵⁶ to say³⁰⁰⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ his⁸⁴⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ first of all,⁴⁴¹² Beware⁴³³⁷ ye¹⁴³⁸ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ leaven²²¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ which³⁷⁴⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ hypocrisy.⁵²⁷²

2  For¹¹⁶¹ there is²⁰⁷⁶ nothing³⁷⁶² covered,⁴⁷⁸⁰ that³⁷³⁹ shall not³⁷⁵⁶ be revealed;⁶⁰¹ neither²⁵³² hid,²⁹²⁷ that³⁷³⁹ shall not³⁷⁵⁶ be known.¹⁰⁹⁷

3  Therefore^{473 3739} whatsoever³⁷⁴⁵ ye have spoken²⁰³⁶ in¹⁷²² darkness⁴⁶⁵³ shall be heard¹⁹¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ light;⁵⁴⁵⁷ and²⁵³² that which³⁷³⁹ ye have spoken²⁹⁸⁰ in⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ ear³⁷⁷⁵ in¹⁷²² closets⁵⁰⁰⁹ shall be proclaimed²⁷⁸⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ housetops.¹⁴³⁰

4  And¹¹⁶¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you⁵²¹³ my³⁴⁵⁰ friends,⁵³⁸⁴ Be not afraid^{5399 3361} of⁵⁷⁵ them that kill⁶¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ body,⁴⁹⁸³ and²⁵³² after³³²⁶ that⁵⁰²³ have²¹⁹² no³³⁶¹ more^{5100 4055} that they can do.⁴¹⁶⁰

5  But¹¹⁶¹ I will forewarn⁵²⁶³ you⁵²¹³ whom⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall fear:⁵³⁹⁹ Fear⁵³⁹⁹ him, which after he hath killed⁶¹⁵ hath²¹⁹² power¹⁸⁴⁹ to cast¹⁶⁸⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ hell;¹⁰⁶⁷ yea,³⁴⁸³ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Fear⁵³⁹⁹ him.⁵¹²⁶

6  Are not³⁷⁸⁰ five⁴⁰⁰² sparrows⁴⁷⁶⁵ sold⁴⁴⁵³ for two¹⁴¹⁷ farthings,⁷⁸⁷ and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ one¹⁵²⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ forgotten¹⁹⁵⁰ before¹⁷⁹⁹ God?²³¹⁶

7  But²³⁵ even²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ very hairs²³⁵⁹ of your⁵²¹⁶ head²⁷⁷⁶ are all³⁹⁵⁶ numbered.⁷⁰⁵ Fear⁵³⁹⁹ not³³⁶¹ therefore:³⁷⁶⁷ ye are of more value¹³⁰⁸ than many⁴¹⁸³ sparrows.⁴⁷⁶⁵

8  Also¹¹⁶¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Whosoever^{3956 3739 302} shall confess³⁶⁷⁰ me¹⁶⁹⁸ before¹⁷¹⁵ men,^{444 1722} him⁸⁴⁶ shall the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ also²⁵³² confess³⁶⁷⁰ before¹⁷¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ angels³² of God:²³¹⁶

9  But¹¹⁶¹ he that denieth⁷²⁰ me³¹⁶⁵ before¹⁷⁹⁹ men⁴⁴⁴ shall be denied⁵³³ before¹⁷⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ angels³² of God.²³¹⁶

10  And²⁵³² whosoever^{3956 3739} shall speak²⁰⁴⁶ a word³⁰⁵⁶ against¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man,⁴⁴⁴ it shall be forgiven⁸⁶³ him:⁸⁴⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ unto him that blasphemeth⁹⁸⁷ against¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ it shall not³⁷⁵⁶ be forgiven.⁸⁶³

11  And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵² they bring⁴³⁷⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and²⁵³² unto magistrates,⁷⁴⁶ and²⁵³² powers,¹⁸⁴⁹ take ye no thought^{3309 3361} how⁴⁴⁵⁹ or²²²⁸ what thing⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall answer,⁶²⁶ or²²²⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall say:²⁰³⁶

12  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ shall teach¹³²¹ you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ what³⁷³⁹ ye ought¹¹⁶³ to say.²⁰³⁶

13  And¹¹⁶¹ one⁵¹⁰⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ company³⁷⁹³ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Master,¹³²⁰ speak²⁰³⁶ to my³⁴⁵⁰ brother,⁸⁰ that he divide³³⁰⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ inheritance²⁸¹⁷ with³³²⁶ me.¹⁷⁰⁰

14  And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Man,⁴⁴⁴ who⁵¹⁰¹ made²⁵²⁵ me³¹⁶⁵ a judge¹³⁴⁸ or²²²⁸ a divider³³¹² over¹⁹⁰⁹ you?⁵²⁰⁹

15  And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Take heed,³⁷⁰⁸ and²⁵³² beware⁵⁴⁴² of⁵⁷⁵ covetousness:⁴¹²⁴ for³⁷⁵⁴ a man's⁵¹⁰⁰ life²²²² consisteth²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ in the abundance⁴⁰⁵² of¹⁵³⁷ the things which he possesseth.^{5224 846}

16  And¹¹⁶¹ he spake²⁰³⁶ a parable³⁸⁵⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ The³⁵⁸⁸ ground⁵⁵⁶¹ of a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ rich⁴¹⁴⁵ man⁴⁴⁴ brought forth plentifully:²¹⁶⁴

17  And²⁵³² he thought¹²⁶⁰ within¹⁷²² himself,¹⁴³⁸ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ What⁵¹⁰¹ shall I do,⁴¹⁶⁰ because³⁷⁵⁴ I have²¹⁹² no³⁷⁵⁶ room where⁴²²⁶ to bestow⁴⁸⁶³ my³⁴⁵⁰ fruits?²⁵⁹⁰

18  And²⁵³² he said,²⁰³⁶ This⁵¹²⁴ will I do:⁴¹⁶⁰ I will pull down²⁵⁰⁷ my³⁴⁵⁰ barns,⁵⁹⁶ and²⁵³² build³⁶¹⁸ greater;³¹⁸⁷ and²⁵³² there¹⁵⁶³ will I bestow⁴⁸⁶³ all³⁹⁵⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ fruits¹⁰⁸¹ and²⁵³² my³⁴⁵⁰ goods.¹⁸

19  And²⁵³² I will say²⁰⁴⁶ to my³⁴⁵⁰ soul,⁵⁵⁹⁰ Soul,⁵⁵⁹⁰ thou hast²¹⁹² much⁴¹⁸³ goods¹⁸ laid up²⁷⁴⁹ for¹⁵¹⁹ many⁴¹⁸³ years;²⁰⁹⁴ take thine ease,³⁷³ eat,⁵³¹⁵ drink,⁴⁰⁹⁵ and be merry.²¹⁶⁵

20  But¹¹⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Thou fool,⁸⁷⁸ this⁵⁰²⁶ night³⁵⁷¹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ soul⁵⁵⁹⁰ shall be required⁵²³ of⁵⁷⁵ thee:⁴⁶⁷⁵ then¹¹⁶¹ whose⁵¹⁰¹ shall those things³⁷³⁹ be,²⁰⁷¹ which thou hast provided?²⁰⁹⁰

21  So³⁷⁷⁹ is he³⁵⁸⁸ that layeth up treasure²³⁴³ for himself,¹⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² is not rich^{4147 3361} toward¹⁵¹⁹ God.²³¹⁶

22  And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ his⁸⁴⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ Therefore^{1223 5124} I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Take no thought^{3309 3361} for your⁵²¹⁶ life,⁵⁵⁹⁰ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall eat;⁵³¹⁵ neither³³⁶⁶ for the³⁵⁸⁸ body,⁴⁹⁸³ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall put on.¹⁷⁴⁶

23  The³⁵⁸⁸ life⁵⁵⁹⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ more⁴¹¹⁹ than meat,⁵¹⁶⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ body⁴⁹⁸³ is more than raiment.¹⁷⁴²

24  Consider²⁶⁵⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ ravens:²⁸⁷⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ they neither³⁷⁵⁶ sow⁴⁶⁸⁷ nor³⁷⁶¹ reap;²³²⁵ which³⁷³⁹ neither³⁷⁵⁶ have²⁰⁷⁶ storehouse⁵⁰⁰⁹ nor³⁷⁶¹ barn;⁵⁹⁶ and²⁵³² God²³¹⁶ feedeth⁵¹⁴² them:⁸⁴⁶ how much⁴²¹⁴ more³¹²³ are ye better^{1308 5210} than the³⁵⁸⁸ fowls?⁴⁰⁷¹

25  And¹¹⁶¹ which⁵¹⁰¹ of¹⁵³⁷ you⁵²¹⁶ with taking thought³³⁰⁹ can¹⁴¹⁰ add⁴³⁶⁹ to¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ stature²²⁴⁴ one¹⁵²⁰ cubit?⁴⁰⁸³

26  If¹⁴⁸⁷ ye then³⁷⁶⁷ be not able^{1410 3777} to do that thing which is least,¹⁶⁴⁶ why⁵¹⁰¹ take ye thought³³⁰⁹ for⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ rest?³⁰⁶²

27  Consider²⁶⁵⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ lilies²⁹¹⁸ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ they grow:⁸³⁷ they toil²⁸⁷² not,³⁷⁵⁶ they spin³⁵¹⁴ not;³⁷⁶¹ and¹¹⁶¹ yet I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ that Solomon⁴⁶⁷² in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ was not³⁷⁶¹ arrayed⁴⁰¹⁶ like⁵⁶¹³ one¹⁵²⁰ of these.⁵¹³⁰

28  ¹¹⁶¹ If¹⁴⁸⁷ then God²³¹⁶ so³⁷⁷⁹ clothe²⁹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ grass,⁵⁵²⁸ which is⁵⁶⁰⁷ today⁴⁵⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ field,⁶⁸ and²⁵³² tomorrow⁸³⁹ is cast⁹⁰⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the oven;²⁸²³ how much⁴²¹⁴ more³¹²³ will he clothe you,⁵²⁰⁹ O ye of little faith?³⁶⁴⁰

29  And²⁵³² seek²²¹² not³³⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall eat,⁵³¹⁵ or²²²⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye shall drink,⁴⁰⁹⁵ neither^{2532 3361} be ye of doubtful mind.³³⁴⁹

30  For¹⁰⁶³ all³⁹⁵⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ do the³⁵⁸⁸ nations¹⁴⁸⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ seek after:¹⁹³⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ your⁵²¹⁶ Father³⁹⁶² knoweth¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ ye have need⁵⁵³⁵ of these things.⁵¹³⁰

31  But⁴¹³³ rather seek²²¹² ye the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God;²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ shall be added⁴³⁶⁹ unto you.⁵²¹³

32  Fear⁵³⁹⁹ not,³³⁶¹ little³³⁹⁸ flock;⁴¹⁶⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ it is your Father's good pleasure^{2106 5216 3962} to give¹³²⁵ you⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom.⁹³²

33  Sell⁴⁴⁵³ that ye have,^{5216 5224} and²⁵³² give¹³²⁵ alms;¹⁶⁵⁴ provide⁴¹⁶⁰ yourselves¹⁴³⁸ bags⁹⁰⁵ which wax not old,^{3822 3361} a treasure²³⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ heavens³⁷⁷² that faileth not,⁴¹³ where³⁶⁹⁹ no³⁷⁵⁶ thief²⁸¹² approacheth,¹⁴⁴⁸ neither³⁷⁶¹ moth⁴⁵⁹⁷ corrupteth.¹³¹¹

34  For¹⁰⁶³ where³⁶⁹⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ treasure²³⁴⁴ is,²⁰⁷⁶ there¹⁵⁶³ will your⁵²¹⁶ heart²⁵⁸⁸ be²⁰⁷¹ also.²⁵³²

35  Let your⁵²¹⁶ loins³⁷⁵¹ be²⁰⁷⁷ girded about,⁴⁰²⁴ and²⁵³² your lights³⁰⁸⁸ burning;²⁵⁴⁵

36  And²⁵³² ye yourselves⁵²¹⁰ like unto³⁶⁶⁴ men⁴⁴⁴ that wait for⁴³²⁷ their¹⁴³⁸ lord,²⁹⁶² when⁴²¹⁹ he will return³⁶⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ wedding;¹⁰⁶² that²⁴⁴³ when he cometh²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² knocketh,²⁹²⁵ they may open⁴⁵⁵ unto him⁸⁴⁶ immediately.²¹¹²

37  Blessed³¹⁰⁷ are those¹⁵⁶⁵ servants,¹⁴⁰¹ whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ lord²⁹⁶² when he cometh²⁰⁶⁴ shall find²¹⁴⁷ watching:¹¹²⁷ verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ he shall gird⁴⁰²⁴ himself, and²⁵³² make them⁸⁴⁶ to sit down to meat,³⁴⁷ and²⁵³² will come forth³⁹²⁸ and serve¹²⁴⁷ them.⁸⁴⁶

38  And²⁵³² if¹⁴³⁷ he shall come²⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ second¹²⁰⁸ watch,⁵⁴³⁸ or²⁵³² come²⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ watch,⁵⁴³⁸ and²⁵³² find²¹⁴⁷ them so,³⁷⁷⁹ blessed³¹⁰⁷ are¹⁵²⁶ those¹⁵⁶⁵ servants.¹⁴⁰¹

39  And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ know,¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ goodman of the house³⁶¹⁷ had known¹⁴⁹² what⁴¹⁶⁹ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ thief²⁸¹² would come,²⁰⁶⁴ he would have watched,^{1127 302} and²⁵³² not³⁷⁵⁶ have suffered^{863 302} his⁸⁴⁸ house³⁶²⁴ to be broken through.¹³⁵⁸

40  Be¹⁰⁹⁶ ye⁵²¹⁰ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ ready²⁰⁹² also:²⁵³² for³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ cometh²⁰⁶⁴ at³⁷³⁹ an hour⁵⁶¹⁰ when ye think¹³⁸⁰ not.³⁷⁵⁶

41  Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² speakest³⁰⁰⁴ thou this⁵⁰²⁶ parable³⁸⁵⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ us,²²⁴⁸ or²²²⁸ even²⁵³² to⁴³¹⁴ all?³⁹⁵⁶

42  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² said,²⁰³⁶ Who⁵¹⁰¹ then⁶⁸⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ that faithful⁴¹⁰³ and²⁵³² wise⁵⁴²⁹ steward,³⁶²³ whom³⁷³⁹ his lord²⁹⁶² shall make ruler²⁵²⁵ over¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ household,²³²² to give¹³²⁵ them their portion of meat⁴⁶²⁰ in¹⁷²² due season?²⁵⁴⁰

43  Blessed³¹⁰⁷ is that¹⁵⁶⁵ servant,¹⁴⁰¹ whom³⁷³⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ lord²⁹⁶² when he cometh²⁰⁶⁴ shall find²¹⁴⁷ so³⁷⁷⁹ doing.⁴¹⁶⁰

44  Of a truth²³⁰ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ he will make him ruler^{2525 846} over¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that he hath.^{5224 848}

45  But¹¹⁶¹ and if¹⁴³⁷ that¹⁵⁶⁵ servant¹⁴⁰¹ say²⁰³⁶ in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ heart,²⁵⁸⁸ My³⁴⁵⁰ lord²⁹⁶² delayeth⁵⁵⁴⁹ his coming;²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² shall begin⁷⁵⁶ to beat⁵¹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ menservants³⁸¹⁶ and²⁵³² maidens,³⁸¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ to eat²⁰⁶⁸ and²⁵³² drink,⁴⁰⁹⁵ and²⁵³² to be drunken;³¹⁸²

46  The³⁵⁸⁸ lord²⁹⁶² of that¹⁵⁶⁵ servant¹⁴⁰¹ will come²²⁴⁰ in¹⁷²² a day²²⁵⁰ when³⁷³⁹ he looketh not for^{4328 3756} him, and²⁵³² at¹⁷²² an hour⁵⁶¹⁰ when³⁷³⁹ he is not aware,^{1097 3756} and²⁵³² will cut him in sunder,^{1371 846} and²⁵³² will appoint⁵⁰⁸⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ his portion³³¹³ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ unbelievers.⁵⁷¹

47  And¹¹⁶¹ that¹⁵⁶⁵ servant,¹⁴⁰¹ which knew¹⁰⁹⁷ his¹⁴³⁸ lord's²⁹⁶² will,²³⁰⁷ and²⁵³² prepared²⁰⁹⁰ not³³⁶¹ himself, neither³³⁶⁶ did⁴¹⁶⁰ according to⁴³¹⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ will,²³⁰⁷ shall be beaten¹¹⁹⁴ with many⁴¹⁸³ stripes.

48  But¹¹⁶¹ he that knew¹⁰⁹⁷ not,³³⁶¹ and¹¹⁶¹ did commit⁴¹⁶⁰ things worthy⁵¹⁴ of stripes,⁴¹²⁷ shall be beaten¹¹⁹⁴ with few³⁶⁴¹ stripes. For¹¹⁶¹ unto whomsoever^{3956 3739} much⁴¹⁸³ is given,¹³²⁵ of³⁸⁴⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ shall be much⁴¹⁸³ required:²²¹² and²⁵³² to whom³⁷³⁹ men have committed³⁹⁰⁸ much,⁴¹⁸³ of him⁸⁴⁶ they will ask¹⁵⁴ the more.⁴⁰⁵⁵

49  I am come²⁰⁶⁴ to send⁹⁰⁶ fire⁴⁴⁴² on¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth;¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² what⁵¹⁰¹ will²³⁰⁹ I, if¹⁴⁸⁷ it be already²²³⁵ kindled?³⁸¹

50  But¹¹⁶¹ I have²¹⁹² a baptism⁹⁰⁸ to be baptized⁹⁰⁷ with; and²⁵³² how⁴⁴⁵⁹ am I straitened⁴⁹¹² till²¹⁹³ it³⁷³⁹ be accomplished!⁵⁰⁵⁵

51  Suppose¹³⁸⁰ ye that³⁷⁵⁴ I am come³⁸⁵⁴ to give¹³²⁵ peace¹⁵¹⁵ on¹⁷²² earth?¹⁰⁹³ I tell³⁰⁰⁴ you,⁵²¹³ Nay;³⁷⁸⁰ but²³⁵ rather²²²⁸ division:¹²⁶⁷

52  For¹⁰⁶³ from⁵⁷⁵ henceforth³⁵⁶⁸ there shall be²⁰⁷¹ five⁴⁰⁰² in¹⁷²² one¹⁵²⁰ house³⁶²⁴ divided,¹²⁶⁶ three⁵¹⁴⁰ against¹⁹⁰⁹ two,¹⁴¹⁷ and²⁵³² two¹⁴¹⁷ against¹⁹⁰⁹ three.⁵¹⁴⁰

53  The father³⁹⁶² shall be divided¹²⁶⁶ against¹⁹⁰⁹ the son,⁵²⁰⁷ and²⁵³² the son⁵²⁰⁷ against¹⁹⁰⁹ the father;³⁹⁶² the mother³³⁸⁴ against¹⁹⁰⁹ the daughter,²³⁶⁴ and²⁵³² the daughter²³⁶⁴ against¹⁹⁰⁹ the mother;³³⁸⁴ the mother in law³⁹⁹⁴ against¹⁹⁰⁹ her⁸⁴⁸ daughter in law,³⁵⁶⁵ and²⁵³² the daughter in law³⁵⁶⁵ against¹⁹⁰⁹ her⁸⁴⁸ mother in law.³⁹⁹⁴

54  And¹¹⁶¹ he said³⁰⁰⁴ also²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ people,³⁷⁹³ When³⁷⁵² ye see¹⁴⁹² a cloud³⁵⁰⁷ rise³⁹³ out of⁵⁷⁵ the west,¹⁴²⁴ straightway²¹¹² ye say,³⁰⁰⁴ There cometh²⁰⁶⁴ a shower;³⁶⁵⁵ and²⁵⁴³ so³⁷⁷⁹ it is.¹⁰⁹⁶

55  And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵² ye see the south wind³⁵⁵⁸ blow,⁴¹⁵⁴ ye say,³⁰⁰⁴ There will be²⁰⁷¹ heat;²⁷⁴² and²⁵³² it cometh to pass.¹⁰⁹⁶

56  Ye hypocrites,⁵²⁷³ ye can¹⁴⁹² discern¹³⁸¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ face⁴³⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sky³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth;¹⁰⁹³ but¹¹⁶¹ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ is it that ye do not³⁷⁵⁶ discern¹³⁸¹ this⁵¹²⁶ time?²⁵⁴⁰

57  Yea, and¹¹⁶¹ why⁵¹⁰¹ even²⁵³² of⁵⁷⁵ yourselves¹⁴³⁸ judge²⁹¹⁹ ye not³⁷⁵⁶ what is right?¹³⁴²

58  ¹¹⁶¹ When⁵⁶¹³ thou goest⁵²¹⁷ with³³²⁶ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ adversary⁴⁷⁶ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the magistrate,⁷⁵⁸ as thou art in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ way,³⁵⁹⁸ give¹³²⁵ diligence²⁰³⁹ that thou mayest be delivered⁵²⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ him;⁸⁴⁶ lest³³⁷⁹ he hale²⁶⁹⁴ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ judge,²⁹²³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ judge²⁹²³ deliver³⁸⁶⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ officer,⁴²³³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ officer⁴²³³ cast⁹⁰⁶ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ prison.⁵⁴³⁸

59  I tell³⁰⁰⁴ thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ thou shalt not³³⁶⁴ depart¹⁸³¹ thence,¹⁵⁶⁴ till^{2193 3757} thou hast paid⁵⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ very²⁵³² last²⁰⁷⁸ mite.³⁰¹⁶

1 Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, cœpit dicere ad discipulos suos: Attendite a fermento pharisæorum, quod est hypocrisis.

2 Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur: neque absconditum, quod non sciatur.

3 Quoniam quæ in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur: et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, prædicabitur in tectis.

4 Dico autem vobis amicis meis: Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post hæc non habent amplius quid faciant.

5 Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis: timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam: ita dico vobis, hunc timete.

6 Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo?

7 sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere: multis passeribus pluris estis vos.

8 Dico autem vobis: Omnis quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei:

9 qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabitur coram angelis Dei.

10 Et omnis qui dicit verbum in Filium hominis, remittetur illi: ei autem qui in Spiritum Sanctum blasphemaverit, non remittetur.

11 Cum autem inducent vos in synagogas, et ad magistratus, et potestates, nolite solliciti esse qualiter, aut quid respondeatis, aut quid dicatis.

12 Spiritus enim Sanctus docebit vos in ipsa hora quid oporteat vos dicere.

13 Ait autem ei quidam de turba: Magister, dic fratri meo ut dividat mecum hæreditatem.

14 At ille dixit illi: Homo, quis me constituit judicem, aut divisorem super vos?

15 Dixitque ad illos: Videte, et cavete ab omni avaritia: quia non in abundantia cujusquam vita ejus est ex his quæ possidet.

16 Dixit autem similitudinem ad illos, dicens: Hominis cujusdam divitis uberes fructus ager attulit:

17 et cogitabat intra se dicens: Quid faciam, quia non habeo quo congregem fructus meos?

18 Et dixit: Hoc faciam: destruam horrea mea, et majora faciam: et illuc congregabo omnia quæ nata sunt mihi, et bona mea,

19 et dicam animæ meæ: Anima, habes multa bona posita in annos plurimos: requiesce, comede, bibe, epulare.

20 Dixit autem illi Deus: Stulte, hac nocte animam tuam repetunt a te: quæ autem parasti, cujus erunt?

21 Sic est qui sibi thesaurizat, et non est in Deum dives.

22 Dixitque ad discipulos suos: Ideo dico vobis, nolite solliciti esse animæ vestræ quid manducetis, neque corpori quid induamini.

23 Anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum.

24 Considerate corvos, quia non seminant, neque metunt, quibus non est cellarium, neque horreum, et Deus pascit illos. Quanto magis vos pluris estis illis?

25 Quis autem vestrum cogitando potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?

26 Si ergo neque quod minimum est potestis, quid de ceteris solliciti estis?

27 Considerate lilia quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent: dico autem vobis, nec Salomon in omni gloria sua vestiebatur sicut unum ex istis.

28 Si autem fœnum, quod hodie est in agro, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos pusillæ fidei?

29 Et vos nolite quærere quid manducetis, aut quid bibatis: et nolite in sublime tolli:

30 hæc enim omnia gentes mundi quærunt. Pater autem vester scit quoniam his indigetis.

31 Verumtamen quærite primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus: et hæc omnia adjicientur vobis.

32 Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum.

33 Vendite quæ possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in cælis: quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit.

34 Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.

35 Sint lumbi vestri præcincti, et lucernæ ardentes in manibus vestris,

36 et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis: ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei.

37 Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes: amen dico vobis, quod præcinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis.

38 Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi.

39 Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam.

40 Et vos estote parati: quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.

41 Ait autem et Petrus: Domine, ad nos dicis hanc parabolam, an et ad omnes?

42 Dixit autem Dominus: Quis, putas, est fidelis dispensator, et prudens, quem constituit dominus supra familiam suam, ut det illis in tempore tritici mensuram?

43 Beatus ille servus quem, cum venerit dominus, invenerit ita facientem.

44 Vere dico vobis, quoniam supra omnia quæ possidet, constituet illum.

45 Quod si dixerit servus ille in corde suo: Moram facit dominus meus venire: et cœperit percutere servos, et ancillas, et edere, et bibere, et inebriari:

46 veniet dominus servi illius in die qua non sperat, et hora qua nescit, et dividet eum, partemque ejus cum infidelibus ponet.

47 Ille autem servus qui cognovit voluntatem domini sui, et non præparavit, et non facit secundum voluntatem ejus, vapulabit multis:

48 qui autem non cognovit, et fecit digna plagis, vapulabit paucis. Omni autem cui multum datum est, multum quæretur ab eo: et cui commendaverunt multum, plus petent ab eo.

49 Ignem veni mittere in terram, et quid volo nisi ut accendatur?

50 Baptismo autem habeo baptizari: et quomodo coarctor usque dum perficiatur?

51 Putatis quia pacem veni dare in terram? non, dico vobis, sed separationem:

52 erunt enim ex hoc quinque in domo una divisi, tres in duos, et duo in tres

53 dividentur: pater in filium, et filius in patrem suum, mater in filiam, et filia in matrem, socrus in nurum suam, et nurus in socrum suam.

54 Dicebat autem et ad turbas: Cum videritis nubem orientem ab occasu, statim dicitis: Nimbus venit: et ita fit.

55 Et cum austrum flantem, dicitis: Quia æstus erit: et fit.

56 Hypocritæ! faciem cæli et terræ nostis probare: hoc autem tempus quomodo non probatis?

57 quid autem et a vobis ipsis non judicatis quod justum est?

58 Cum autem vadis cum adversario tuo ad principem, in via da operam liberari ab illo, ne forte trahat te ad judicem, et judex tradat te exactori, et exactor mittat te in carcerem.

59 Dico tibi, non exies inde, donec etiam novissimum minutum reddas.
