绊倒人的有祸

17 耶稣又对门徒说:“绊倒人的事是免不了的,但那绊倒人的有祸了! 就是把磨石拴在这人的颈项上,丢在海里,还强如他把这小子里的一个绊倒了。 你们要谨慎!若是你的弟兄得罪你,就劝诫他。他若懊悔,就饶恕他。 倘若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回转,说:‘我懊悔了’,你总要饶恕他。”

信心的能力

使徒对主说:“求主加增我们的信心!” 主说:“你们若有信心像一粒芥菜种,就是对这棵桑树说:‘你要拔起根来,栽在海里!’,它也必听从你们。 你们谁有仆人耕地或是放羊,从田里回来,就对他说‘你快来坐下吃饭’呢? 岂不对他说‘你给我预备晚饭,束上带子伺候我,等我吃喝完了,你才可以吃喝’吗? 仆人照所吩咐的去做,主人还谢谢他吗? 10 这样你们做完了一切所吩咐的,只当说:‘我们是无用的仆人,所做的本是我们应分做的。’”

治好十个长大麻风的

11 耶稣往耶路撒冷去,经过撒马利亚加利利 12 进入一个村子,有十个长大麻风的迎面而来,远远地站着, 13 高声说:“耶稣,夫子,可怜我们吧!” 14 耶稣看见,就对他们说:“你们去,把身体给祭司察看!”他们去的时候就洁净了。 15 内中有一个见自己已经好了,就回来大声归荣耀于神, 16 又俯伏在耶稣脚前感谢他。这人是撒马利亚人。 17 耶稣说:“洁净了的不是十个人吗?那九个在哪里呢? 18 除了这外族人,再没有别人回来归荣耀于神吗?” 19 就对那人说:“起来走吧!你的信救了你了。”

神的国在人心里

20 法利赛人问神的国几时来到,耶稣回答说:“神的国来到不是眼所能见的。 21 人也不得说‘看哪,在这里!’、‘看哪,在那里!’,因为神的国就在你们心里[a]。”

引证挪亚和罗得的事

22 他又对门徒说:“日子将到,你们巴不得看见人子的一个日子,却不得看见。 23 人将要对你们说‘看哪,在那里!’、‘看哪,在这里!’,你们不要出去,也不要跟随他们。 24 因为人子在他降临的日子,好像闪电从天这边一闪,直照到天那边。 25 只是他必须先受许多苦,又被这世代弃绝。 26 挪亚的日子怎样,人子的日子也要怎样。 27 那时候的人又吃又喝,又娶又嫁,到挪亚进方舟的那日,洪水就来,把他们全都灭了。 28 又好像罗得的日子,人又吃又喝,又买又卖,又耕种又盖造, 29 罗得所多玛的那日,就有火与硫磺从天上降下来,把他们全都灭了。 30 人子显现的日子也要这样。 31 当那日,人在房上,器具在屋里,不要下来拿;人在田里,也不要回家。 32 你们要回想罗得的妻子!

舍生命得生命

33 “凡想要保全生命的,必丧掉生命;凡丧掉生命的,必救活生命。 34 我对你们说:当那一夜,两个人在一个床上,要取去一个,撇下一个; 35 两个女人一同推磨,要取去一个,撇下一个。[b] 37 门徒说:“主啊,在哪里有这事呢?”耶稣说:“尸首在哪里,鹰也必聚在哪里。”

切求的寡妇和不义的官

18 耶稣设一个比喻,是要人常常祷告,不可灰心。 说:“某城里有一个官,不惧怕神,也不尊重世人。 那城里有个寡妇,常到他那里,说:‘我有一个对头,求你给我申冤。’ 他多日不准,后来心里说:‘我虽不惧怕神,也不尊重世人, 只因这寡妇烦扰我,我就给她申冤吧,免得她常来缠磨我。’” 主说:“你们听这不义之官所说的话。 神的选民昼夜呼吁他,他纵然为他们忍了多时,岂不终久给他们申冤吗? 我告诉你们:要快快地给他们申冤了。然而,人子来的时候,遇得见世上有信德吗?”

法利赛人和税吏的祷告

耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人藐视别人的,设一个比喻, 10 说:“有两个人上殿里去祷告,一个是法利赛人,一个是税吏。 11 法利赛人站着,自言自语地祷告说:‘神啊,我感谢你,我不像别人勒索、不义、奸淫,也不像这个税吏。 12 我一个礼拜禁食两次,凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。’ 13 那税吏远远地站着,连举目望天也不敢,只捶着胸说:‘神啊,开恩可怜我这个罪人!’ 14 我告诉你们,这人回家去比那人倒算为义了。因为凡自高的,必降为卑;自卑的,必升为高。”

主接待小孩

15 有人抱着自己的婴孩来见耶稣,要他摸他们,门徒看见就责备那些人。 16 耶稣却叫他们来,说:“让小孩子到我这里来,不要禁止他们,因为在神国的正是这样的人。 17 我实在告诉你们:凡要承受神国的,若不像小孩子,断不能进去。”

当积财宝在天上

18 有一个官问耶稣说:“良善的夫子,我该做什么事才可以承受永生?” 19 耶稣对他说:“你为什么称我是良善的?除了神一位之外,再没有良善的。 20 诫命你是晓得的:不可奸淫,不可杀人,不可偷盗,不可作假见证,当孝敬父母。” 21 那人说:“这一切我从小都遵守了。” 22 耶稣听见了,就说:“你还缺少一件:要变卖你一切所有的,分给穷人,就必有财宝在天上;你还要来跟从我。” 23 他听见这话,就甚忧愁,因为他很富足。

贪财的难进天国

24 耶稣看见他,就说:“有钱财的人进神的国是何等地难哪! 25 骆驼穿过针的眼,比财主进神的国还容易呢!” 26 听见的人说:“这样谁能得救呢?” 27 耶稣说:“在人所不能的事,在神却能。” 28 彼得说:“看哪,我们已经撇下自己所有的跟从你了!” 29 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们:人为神的国撇下房屋或是妻子、弟兄、父母、儿女, 30 没有在今世不得百倍,在来世不得永生的。”

主预言受难

31 耶稣带着十二个门徒,对他们说:“看哪,我们上耶路撒冷去,先知所写的一切事都要成就在人子身上。 32 他将要被交给外邦人,他们要戏弄他,凌辱他,吐唾沫在他脸上, 33 并要鞭打他,杀害他,第三日他要复活。” 34 这些事门徒一样也不懂得,意思乃是隐藏的,他们不晓得所说的是什么。

使耶利哥的瞎子看见

35 耶稣将近耶利哥的时候,有一个瞎子坐在路旁讨饭。 36 听见许多人经过,就问是什么事。 37 他们告诉他,是拿撒勒人耶稣经过。 38 他就呼叫说:“大卫的子孙耶稣啊,可怜我吧!” 39 在前头走的人就责备他,不许他作声,他却越发喊叫说:“大卫的子孙,可怜我吧!” 40 耶稣站住,吩咐把他领过来。到了跟前,就问他说: 41 “你要我为你做什么?”他说:“主啊,我要能看见!” 42 耶稣说:“你可以看见!你的信救了你了。” 43 瞎子立刻看见了,就跟随耶稣,一路归荣耀于神。众人看见这事,也赞美神。

论罪、信心和本分

17 耶稣教导门徒说:“引人犯罪的事是免不了的,但引人犯罪的人有祸了。 谁使一个卑微的弟兄失足犯罪,他的下场比把大磨石拴在他脖子上扔到海里还要惨。 你们要小心谨慎!你的弟兄若犯了罪,要责备他。他若悔改,要饶恕他。 就算他一天得罪你七次,每次都对你说,‘我悔改’,你都要饶恕他。”

使徒对主说:“请你加添我们的信心。”

主说:“如果你们的信心像一粒芥菜种那么大,便可对这棵桑树说,‘连根拔起,栽在大海里!’它必服从你们。

“你们谁会对种田或放羊回来的奴仆说,‘请赶快坐下来吃饭’? 不都是吩咐他‘给我准备晚饭,束上腰带伺候我用餐,等我吃完,你才可以吃’吗? 奴仆照着吩咐去做,主人会谢他吗? 10 同样,你们照着吩咐把事情办妥后,也该这样说,‘我们是无用的奴仆,所做的不过是分内的事。’”

十个麻风病人

11 耶稣继续前往耶路撒冷,途经撒玛利亚和加利利的交界处。 12 祂进入一个村庄时,十个麻风病人迎面而来。他们远远地站着, 13 高声呼喊道:“耶稣,老师啊,求你可怜我们吧!”

14 耶稣看见他们,就说:“去让祭司察看你们的身体。”

他们去的时候,就洁净了。 15 其中一个发现自己痊愈了,就跑回来,高声赞美上帝, 16 又俯伏在耶稣的脚前连连称谢。这人是撒玛利亚人。

17 耶稣说:“被医好的不是有十个人吗?其他九个呢? 18 回来赞美称颂上帝的只有这个外族人吗?” 19 于是祂对那人说:“起来回去吧!你的信心救了你。”

上帝国的降临

20 法利赛人问耶稣:“上帝的国什么时候降临?”

耶稣回答说:“上帝国的降临并没有看得见的征兆。 21 所以没有人能说,‘上帝的国在这里’,或说,‘在那里’,因为上帝的国就在你们心里[a]。”

22 祂又对门徒说:“时候将到,你们将渴望见到人子降临的日子,可是你们却见不到。 23 有人将对你们说,‘看啊,祂在这里!’或说,‘看啊,祂在那里!’你们不要出去,也不要追随他们。 24 因为人子降临的时候必如划过长空的闪电,从天这边一直照亮到天那边。 25 但祂必须先受苦,被这个世代弃绝。

26 “人子降临时的情形将像挪亚的时代, 27 人们吃喝嫁娶,一直到挪亚进入方舟那天,洪水来了,毁灭了他们; 28 又像罗得的时代,人们吃喝、做买卖、耕地、盖房。 29 在罗得离开所多玛那天,烈火和硫磺从天而降,把他们全毁灭了。

30 “人子显现之日的情形也是如此。 31 那天,在自己屋顶上的,不要下来收拾行李;在田里工作的,也不要回家。 32 你们要记住罗得妻子的事。 33 想保全生命的,必丧失生命;丧失生命的,必保全生命。 34 我告诉你们,那天晚上,两个人睡在一张床上,一个将被接去,一个将被撇下; 35 两个女人一起推磨,一个将被接去,一个将被撇下; 36 两个人在田间,一个将被接去,一个将被撇下。[b]

37 门徒问:“主啊,在哪里有这事呢?”

耶稣回答说:“尸体在哪里,秃鹰就会聚集在哪里。”

恒心祷告

18 耶稣讲了一个比喻来教导门徒要常常祷告,不要灰心。

祂说:“某城有一位既不敬畏上帝也不尊重人的审判官。 那城里有一位寡妇常常来哀求这位审判官,说,‘求你为我申冤,惩办我的对头。’ 审判官总是充耳不闻,但后来心里想,‘虽然我不怕上帝,也不在乎人, 可是这寡妇一直来烦我,还是替她申冤好了,免得她再来烦我!’”

主接着说:“你们听,这不义的审判官尚且这么说, 难道上帝听到祂拣选的人昼夜呼求,不替他们申冤吗?难道祂会一直耽延不理吗? 我告诉你们,祂必很快为他们申冤。不过当人子来的时候,在世上找得到有信心的人吗?”

两种祷告

耶稣对那些自以为义、藐视别人的人讲了一个比喻: 10 “有两个人到圣殿里祷告,一个是法利赛人,一个是税吏。 11 法利赛人站在那里自言自语地祷告说,‘上帝啊!我感谢你,因为我不像别人那样勒索、不义、通奸,也不像这税吏。 12 我每周禁食两次,奉献全部收入的十分之一。’

13 “但那税吏却远远地站着,连头也不敢抬起来,捶着胸说,‘上帝啊,求你怜悯我这个罪人!’

14 “我告诉你们,二人回家后,被上帝算为义的是税吏而不是法利赛人,因为自高的人必遭贬抑,谦卑的人必得尊荣。”

祝福孩子

15 有许多人把婴孩带来要让耶稣摸一摸他们,为他们祝福,门徒看见,就责备这些人。 16 耶稣却招呼他们过来,并对门徒说:“让小孩子到我这里来,不要阻止他们,因为上帝的国属于这样的人。 17 我实在告诉你们,人若不像小孩子一样接受上帝的国,绝不能进去。”

富豪求问永生

18 一位官长问耶稣:“良善的老师,我该做什么才能承受永生?”

19 耶稣说:“你为什么称呼我‘良善的老师’呢?只有上帝是良善的。 20 你知道‘不可通奸,不可杀人,不可偷盗,不可作伪证,要孝敬父母’这些诫命”。

21 那人说:“我从小就遵行这些诫命。”

22 耶稣听了就对他说:“你还有一件事没有做,就是变卖你所有的产业,分给穷人,你必有财宝存在天上,然后你还要来跟从我。” 23 那人听了,极其忧愁,因为他非常富有。

24 耶稣见状,就说;“有钱人进上帝的国真难啊! 25 骆驼穿过针眼比有钱人进上帝的国还容易呢!”

26 听见的人就问:“这样,谁能得救呢?”

27 耶稣回答说:“对人而言,这不可能,但对上帝而言,凡事都可能。”

28 彼得说:“你看!我们已经撇下一切来跟从你了。”

29 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,任何人为了上帝的国而撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或儿女, 30 今世必得百倍的奖赏,来世必得永生。”

再次预言受害和复活

31 耶稣把十二使徒带到一边,对他们说:“你们要留意,我们现在前往耶路撒冷,先知书上有关人子的记载都要应验, 32 人子将被交在外族人的手里,被他们嘲弄、虐待、吐唾沫、 33 鞭打和杀害,但第三天祂必复活。” 34 使徒却一点也不明白,因为这番话的含意是隐藏的,他们听不明白。

治愈耶利哥的瞎子

35 耶稣快到耶利哥的时候,有一个瞎子坐在路旁讨饭。 36 他听见许多人经过,就询问是怎么回事。 37 有人告诉他是拿撒勒人耶稣经过此地, 38 他就高声呼喊:“大卫的后裔耶稣啊,可怜我吧!”

39 走在前面的人责备他,让他安静,但他反而叫得更大声:“大卫的后裔啊,可怜我吧!”

40 耶稣停下脚步,命人把他带过来,然后问他: 41 “你要我为你做什么?”

他说:“主啊!我想能够看见。”

42 耶稣对他说:“你看见吧!你的信心救了你。” 43 他立刻得见光明,并跟随耶稣,一路赞美上帝。目睹这事的人也都赞美上帝。

Sin, Faith, Duty

17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble(A) are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.(B) It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones(C) to stumble.(D) So watch yourselves.

“If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them;(E) and if they repent, forgive them.(F) Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”(G)

The apostles(H) said to the Lord,(I) “Increase our faith!”

He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed,(J) you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.(K)

“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me(L) while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”(M)

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy

11 Now on his way to Jerusalem,(N) Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.(O) 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[b](P) met him. They stood at a distance(Q) 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master,(R) have pity on us!”

14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”(S) And as they went, they were cleansed.

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God(T) in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.(U)

17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”(V)

The Coming of the Kingdom of God(W)

20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(X) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’(Y) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[c]

22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,(Z) but you will not see it.(AA) 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.(AB) 24 For the Son of Man in his day[d] will be like the lightning,(AC) which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things(AD) and be rejected(AE) by this generation.(AF)

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(AG) so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 “It was the same in the days of Lot.(AH) People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(AI) 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.(AJ) 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(AK) 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.(AL) 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”(AM) [36] [e]

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.

He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”(AN)

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.(AO) He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice(AP) against my adversary.’

“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”(AQ)

And the Lord(AR) said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(AS) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(AT) comes,(AU) will he find faith on the earth?”

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

To some who were confident of their own righteousness(AV) and looked down on everyone else,(AW) Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(AX) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(AY) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(AZ) twice a week and give a tenth(BA) of all I get.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(BB) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(BC)

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(BD)

The Little Children and Jesus(BE)

15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child(BF) will never enter it.”

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(BG)

18 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(BH)

19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[f](BI)

21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor,(BJ) and you will have treasure in heaven.(BK) Then come, follow me.”

23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!(BL) 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(BM)

28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”(BN)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come(BO) eternal life.”(BP)

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(BQ)

31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem,(BR) and everything that is written by the prophets(BS) about the Son of Man(BT) will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles.(BU) They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him(BV) and kill him.(BW) On the third day(BX) he will rise again.”(BY)

34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.(BZ)

A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight(CA)

35 As Jesus approached Jericho,(CB) a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”(CC)

38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David,(CD) have mercy(CE) on me!”

39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”(CF)

40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”

“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.

42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”(CG) 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.(CH)

17 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Remember Lot's wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
