Lucas 12
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Não sejam como os fariseus
12 Milhares de pessoas se juntaram; e eram tantas que pisavam umas nas outras. Jesus, então, começou a falar, dirigindo-se primeiro aos seus discípulos:
—Previnam-se contra o fermento dos fariseus, isto é, contra a falsidade deles. 2 Não há nada que esteja oculto e que não venha a ser revelado; nem nada que esteja escondido e que não venha a ser descoberto. 3 Portanto, tudo o que vocês disseram às escuras será falado em plena luz; e tudo o que, num quarto fechado, vocês sussurraram aos ouvidos de alguém, será anunciado diante das pessoas.
Temam a Deus e não aos homens
(Mt 10.28-31)
4 Eu digo a vocês, meus amigos: Não tenham medo daqueles que matam o corpo mas que não podem fazer mais nada depois disso. 5 Eu direi a vocês de quem é que vocês devem ter medo: Tenham medo daquele que, depois de matar, tem o poder de lançar vocês no inferno. Deste sim, eu lhes digo que vocês devem ter medo.
6 —Não se vendem cinco pardais por tão pouco dinheiro? Deus, porém, não se esquece de nenhum deles. 7 Até mesmo os fios de cabelo da cabeça de vocês estão contados. Não tenham medo de nada; vocês valem mais do que muitos pardais!
Afirmar e negar a Cristo
(Mt 10.32-33; 12.32; 10.19-20)
8 Eu digo a vocês: Se alguém afirmar publicamente ser meu seguidor, então o Filho do Homem também afirmará, diante dos anjos de Deus, que essa pessoa é meu seguidor. 9 Porém, aquele que publicamente me negar, também será negado diante dos anjos de Deus. 10 Todo aquele que falar contra o Filho do Homem será perdoado. Mas aquele que insultar o Espírito Santo não será perdoado.
11 —Quando levarem vocês para as sinagogas, diante das autoridades e governadores, não fiquem preocupados pensando em como vão se defender ou o que vão dizer. 12 Pois, o Espírito Santo ensinará a vocês quando estiverem diante deles o que deverão dizer.
Jesus reprova a avareza
13 Então, do meio da multidão alguém lhe disse:
—Mestre, diga para o meu irmão dividir a herança comigo!
14 Mas Jesus respondeu:
—Homem, quem me nomeou juiz ou árbitro sobre vocês?
15 E disse a todos:
—Tenham cuidado! Evitem todo tipo de avareza, pois a vida de um homem não depende das coisas que ele tem, mesmo que seja muito rico.
16 E então lhes contou esta parábola:
—As terras de certo homem rico tinham produzido uma colheita muito boa.
17 Então ele pensou: “Eu não tenho lugar para guardar a minha colheita. O que vou fazer?” 18 Então disse: “Já sei o que vou fazer! Vou demolir os meus celeiros e construir outros maiores. Assim poderei guardar toda a minha colheita e todos os meus bens! 19 Daí poderei dizer a mim mesmo: ‘Homem, você já tem muitas coisas boas guardadas para muitos anos. Portanto descanse, coma, beba e se divirta!’” 20 Deus, porém, lhe disse: “Tolo! Esta noite você morrerá. Com quem ficarão todas as coisas que você guardou?”
21 —A mesma coisa acontecerá para aqueles que acumulam tesouros para si mesmos, mas que não são ricos para com Deus.
Ponham em primeiro lugar o reino de Deus
(Mt 6.25-34,19-21)
22 Depois disso Jesus disse aos seus discípulos:
—Por isso eu lhes digo: Não se preocupem com as coisas que vocês precisam para viver, como a comida ou as roupas. 23 Pois a vida é mais importante do que a comida e o corpo é mais importante do que as roupas. 24 Olhem para os corvos: Eles não plantam nem colhem, nem têm celeiros nem armazéns; e mesmo assim Deus lhes dá o que comer. Será que vocês não valem muito mais do que os pássaros? 25 Qual de vocês, por mais que se preocupe, pode adicionar uma hora à sua vida? 26 Portanto, se não podem conseguir uma coisa assim tão pequena, por que se preocupam com o resto? 27 Olhem para os lírios e vejam como eles crescem! Eles não trabalham nem fazem roupas. Contudo eu lhes digo que nem mesmo o rei Salomão, com toda a sua riqueza, se vestiu como um deles! 28 Se Deus veste dessa maneira as plantas do campo, que hoje estão aqui e amanhã são jogadas no fogo, quanto mais ele vestirá a vocês, gente de pouca fé! 29 Portanto, não se preocupem com o que vão comer ou beber, nem se aflijam por causa disso. 30 As pessoas deste mundo que não conhecem a Deus é que estão sempre procurando essas coisas. Mas o Pai de vocês sabe que precisam delas. 31 Portanto, se vocês procurarem o reino de Deus, ele lhes dará essas coisas.
Não confiem nas riquezas
32 Não tenha medo, meu pequeno rebanho, pois o seu Pai tem prazer em lhe dar o reino. 33 Vendam os seus bens e deem o dinheiro aos pobres. Façam para vocês mesmos bolsas que não se estraguem; acumulem um tesouro inesgotável no céu, onde nenhum ladrão o toca e nenhuma traça o destrói. 34 Lembrem-se disto: onde estiver o seu tesouro, lá também estará o seu coração.
Estejam alerta
(Mt 24.42-44)
35 —Estejam preparados e com os seus lampiões acesos. 36 Sejam como as pessoas que esperam seu senhor voltar da festa de casamento, para que, quando ele chegar e bater à porta, elas possam abrir imediatamente. 37 Felizes são aqueles servos cujo senhor os encontrar acordados e prontos quando ele chegar! Digo a verdade a vocês: Ele mesmo se preparará e os servirá, enquanto eles estarão à mesa. 38 E mesmo que ele chegue à meia-noite ou até mais tarde, felizes serão eles se os encontrar preparados. 39 Porém, tenham certeza disto: Se o dono da casa soubesse a que horas viria o ladrão, certamente não permitiria que roubasse o que tem na sua casa. 40 Portanto, estejam vocês também preparados, pois o Filho do Homem virá quando não estiverem esperando.
A parábola do servo bom e do servo mau
(Mt 24.45-51)
41 E Pedro disse:
—Senhor, está contando esta parábola para nós, ou para todos?
42 Então o Senhor disse:
—Quem será, então, o mordomo leal e prudente que o Senhor nomeará sobre os seus servos para lhes dar de comer na ocasião certa? 43 Feliz é o servo que estiver fazendo isso quando o seu senhor chegar! 44 Digo a verdade a vocês: Ele o colocará para tomar conta de todos os seus bens. 45 Mas se aquele servo diz consigo mesmo: “O meu senhor está demorando muito” e começar a bater nos outros servos e servas, e a comer e beber e a ficar bêbado. 46 Então o senhor daquele servo chegará num dia em que ele não espera e numa hora que ele nem imagina, e o castigará severamente[a] e o condenará para sofrer o mesmo destino dos infiéis. 47 O servo que conhece a vontade de seu senhor e não se prepara, ou não faz aquilo que ele quer, será punido com muitas chicotadas. 48 Mas o servo que não conhece a vontade de seu senhor e que faz alguma coisa que merece castigo, será punido com poucas chicotadas. Sendo assim, para todo aquele a quem se dá muito, muito será pedido; e daquelas pessoas nas quais foi depositada maior confiança, muito mais será exigido.
Divisões por causa de Jesus
(Mt 10.34-36)
49 —Eu vim para pôr fogo na terra; e como eu gostaria que já estivesse queimando! 50 Tenho que receber um batismo[b], e como estou angustiado até que ele seja realizado! 51 Vocês pensam que eu vim para trazer paz ao mundo? Não! Afirmo a vocês que eu vim para trazer divisões! 52 Pois, de agora em diante, uma família de cinco pessoas estará dividida: três contra duas e duas contra três.
53 O pai estará contra o filho
e o filho contra o pai;
a mãe estará contra a filha
e a filha contra a mãe;
a sogra estará contra a nora
e a nora contra a sogra.[c]
A época em que vivemos
(Mt 16.2-3)
54 E Jesus também disse ao povo:
—Quando vocês veem uma nuvem subindo no ocidente, logo dizem: “Vai chover!” E assim acontece. 55 E quando sentem o vento soprando do sul, vocês dizem: “Vai fazer calor!” E assim acontece. 56 Hipócritas! Se vocês sabem interpretar os sinais do céu e da terra, como é que não sabem interpretar esta época em que vivemos?
Faça as pazes com seu inimigo
(Mt 5.25-26)
57 E Jesus terminou, dizendo:
—Por que vocês não julgam por si mesmos o que é justo? 58 Se alguém, por algum motivo, quiser levá-lo a um tribunal, faça o possível para chegar a um acordo com ele durante o caminho. Faça isso para que ele não o arraste até o juiz, o juiz o entregue à polícia e a polícia o ponha na cadeia. 59 Pois eu lhe digo que você só sairá de lá após pagar tudo o que deve.

Licemjerje
12 Okupilo se mnoštvo od više tisuća ljudi. Bilo ih je toliko da su gazili jedni po drugima. Isus se najprije obratio svojim učenicima: »Čuvajte se farizejskoga kvasca, to jest licemjerja! 2 Nema ništa sakriveno što se neće otkriti niti išta tajno što se neće saznati. 3 Prema tome, sve što u tami izgovorite, čut će se na svjetlu. A što ste kome šapnuli na uho u tajnosti sobe, vikat će se s krovova.«
Bojte se Boga, a ne ljudi
(Mt 10,28-31)
4 »I kažem vam, prijatelji, ne trebate se bojati onih koji ubijaju tijelo i nakon toga ne mogu ništa više učiniti. 5 Reći ću vam koga se trebate bojati: bojte se Boga koji, nakon što oduzme život, ima vlast baciti ga u pakao. Da, kažem vam, njega se bojte!
6 Ne prodaje li se pet vrabaca za dva novčića? Pa, ipak, ni jednoga od njih Bog ne zaboravlja. 7 A na vašoj su glavi čak i vlasi izbrojene. Ne bojte se! Vi vrijedite više od mnoštva vrabaca.«
Priznati Isusa
(Mt 10,32-33; 12,32; 10,19-20)
8 »Kažem vam: tko god mene prizna pred ljudima, ja ću ga pred Božjim anđelima priznati kao svoga. 9 No onoga tko se mene odrekne pred ljudima, ja ću se odreći pred Božjim anđelima.
10 Svakome tko kaže nešto protiv Sina Čovječjega bit će oprošteno, ali onome tko vrijeđa Svetog Duha neće se oprostiti.
11 Kad vas izvedu pred sinagoge, vladare i vlasti, nemojte se brinuti o tome kako ćete se braniti ili što ćete reći! 12 Sveti će vas Duh u taj tren poučiti što da kažete.«
Ne oslanjajte se na bogatstvo!
13 Tada mu je netko iz gomile rekao: »Učitelju, reci mojem bratu da podijeli nasljedstvo sa mnom!«
14 A Isus mu je odgovorio: »Čovječe, tko je mene imenovao da dijelim pravdu ili posredujem među vama?« 15 Rekao im je i ovo: »Čuvajte se i nemojte dopustiti da pohlepa uđe u vaše srce, jer čak i onome koji živi u izobilju, život ne dolazi iz onog što posjeduje.«
16 Tada im je ispričao jednu usporedbu: »Zemlja nekog bogataša dobro je rodila. On je u sebi pomislio i rekao: 17 ‘Što ću učiniti kad nemam gdje uskladištiti svoj urod?’ 18 Zatim je rekao: ‘Evo što ću učiniti: srušit ću svoje žitnice i sagraditi veće. Spremit ću u njih svoje žito i ostala dobra. 19 I reći ću samom sebi: imaš na zalihi mnogo dobara za godine koje dolaze. Odmori se, jedi, pij i veseli se!’
20 No Bog mu je rekao: ‘Bezumni čovječe, umrijet ćeš još večeras! A kome će pripasti ono što si spremio?’
21 Evo što se događa onome tko skuplja blago, ali nije bogat u Božjim očima.«
Prvenstvo Božjeg kraljevstva
(Mt 6,25-34)
22 Zatim je rekao svojim učenicima: »Zato vam kažem, nemojte se brinuti za svoj život—što ćete jesti, ili za svoje tijelo—što ćete obući! 23 Jer, život je važniji od hrane i tijelo od odjeće. 24 Promotrite vrane: niti siju, niti žanju. Nemaju ni smočnice ni žitnice pa ipak ih Bog hrani. A vi vrijedite mnogo više od ptica. 25 Tko od vas može brigama produžiti svoj život makar za jedan sat? 26 Budući da ne možete učiniti ni to malo, zašto se brinete za ostalo? 27 Promotrite ljiljane kako rastu! Niti se trude, niti izrađuju odjeću. A opet, kažem vam, čak ni Salomon u svoj svojoj slavi nije bio odjeven kao jedan od njih. 28 Ako Bog tako odijeva travu u polju, koja je danas ovdje, a sutra se baca u peć, koliko će više odjenuti vas, malovjerni! 29 Ne brinite se što ćete jesti ili što ćete piti! Ne uzrujavajte se zbog toga! 30 Ljudi ovoga svijeta opterećuju se time, ali vaš Otac zna da vam je sve to potrebno. 31 Nego, prvo se brinite za njegovo Kraljevstvo pa će vam se i to nadodati!« 32 »Malo stado, ne plaši se! Otac vam želi dati svoje Kraljevstvo. 33 Prodajte ono što posjedujete i dajte novac siromašnima. Nabavite si torbe, koje ne mogu ostarjeti, i blago koje neće propasti—trajno bogatstvo koje je na Nebu—gdje ga ne može dohvatiti lopov niti uništiti moljac. 34 Jer, gdje je vaše blago, tamo će vam biti i srce.«
Uvijek budite spremni!
(Mt 24,42-44)
35 »Budite spremni! Obucite se i neka vaše svjetiljke gore! 36 Budite kao oni koji čekaju svoga gospodara da se vrati sa svadbe. Kad on dođe i pokuca, mogu mu odmah otvoriti vrata. 37 Blagoslovljeni oni sluge koje će gospodar naći budne i spremne kada dođe. Govorim vam istinu. Gospodar će zaogrnuti pregaču da ih služi. Posjest će ih za stol i posluživati ih. 38 Gospodar može doći u ponoć ili još kasnije, ali blago njima kada dođe i vidi da ga još uvijek čekaju. 39 U ovo budite sigurni: da je gospodar znao u koje će vrijeme doći lopov, ne bi dopustio da mu provali u kuću. 40 I vi budite spremni, jer će Sin Čovječji doći u vrijeme kad ga ne očekujete!«
Tko je pouzdani sluga?
(Mt 24,45-51)
41 Tada ga je Petar upitao: »Gospodine, govoriš li ovu usporedbu samo nama ili svima?«
42 A Gospodin je rekao: »Tko je taj vjerni i mudri upravitelj kojeg će Gospodin postaviti nad svojim slugama da im u pravo vrijeme daje obrok? 43 Blago onom slugi kojega gospodar, kada dođe, zatekne da tako radi! 44 Kažem vam istinu: njega će odrediti da upravlja svim njegovim imetkom. 45 Ali što ako sluga u svom srcu kaže: ‘Moj gospodar neće tako skoro doći’ i počne tući sluge i sluškinje, jesti, piti i opijati se? 46 Njegov će gospodar doći onoga dana kad mu se ne nada i u vrijeme za koje ne zna. Tada će ga gospodar kazniti i dodijeliti mu mjesto među nevjernicima.
47 Sluga, koji zna volju svoga gospodara, a ne pripremi se za njegov dolazak ili ne čini ono što gospodar želi, dobit će mnogo udaraca. 48 No onaj sluga koji nije znao gospodarevu volju, a učinio je nešto zbog čega zaslužuje kaznu, primit će malo udaraca. Jer, od svakoga kome je dano mnogo, mnogo će se i zahtijevati. Kome je mnogo povjereno, više će se od njega tražiti.«
Nevolje zbog Isusa
(Mt 10,34-36)
49 »Došao sam zapaliti vatru na Zemlji. O, da barem već gori! 50 Ali najprije me čeka krštenje. O, na kakvoj sam muci dok se ono ne izvrši! 51 Mislite li da sam došao uspostaviti mir na Zemlji? Ne, kažem vam, donosim razdor. 52 Jer, od sada će obitelj od petero biti među sobom podijeljena—troje protiv dvoje i dvoje protiv troje.
53 Okrenut će se otac protiv sina i sin protiv oca,
majka protiv kćeri i kći protiv majke,
svekrva protiv snahe i snaha protiv svekrve.«[a]
Prepoznajte znakove vremena
(Mt 16,2-3)
54 Zatim je rekao narodu: »Kad vidite da sa zapada dolazi oblak, smjesta kažete: ‘Dolazi kiša’, i bude. 55 A kad puše južni vjetar, kažete: ‘Bit će vruće’, i bude. 56 Licemjeri! Znate protumačiti izgled zemlje i neba pa kako onda ne znate protumačiti događaje ovoga vremena?«
Riješite nesuglasice!
(Mt 5,25-26)
57 »Zašto sami ne prosudite što je pravedno? 58 Dok sa svojim protivnikom idete na sud, potrudite se da se putem nagodite s njim. Inače, on će vas privesti sucu, sudac će vas predati sudskom izvršitelju, a on će vas baciti u zatvor. 59 Kažem vam, nećete izaći odande dok ne platite i posljednji novčić.«

Warnings and Encouragements(A)
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.(B) 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(C) 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends,(D) do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.(E) 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(F) Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(G)
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.(H) 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned(I) before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man(J) will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.(K)
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say,(L) 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”(M)
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”(N)
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!(O) This very night your life will be demanded from you.(P) Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’(Q)
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”(R)
Do Not Worry(S)
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.(T) And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor(U) was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!(V) 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father(W) knows that you need them.(X) 31 But seek his kingdom,(Y) and these things will be given to you as well.(Z)
32 “Do not be afraid,(AA) little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.(AB) 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor.(AC) Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven(AD) that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.(AE) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(AF)
Watchfulness(AG)(AH)
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.(AI) Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.(AJ) 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief(AK) was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,(AL) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord(AM) answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.(AN) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.(AO) 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.(AP) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Not Peace but Division(AQ)
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism(AR) to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!(AS) 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”(AT)
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.(AU) 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?(AV)
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(AW) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(AX)

12 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode 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 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever 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 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 forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which 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 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 unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall 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 whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto 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 spake a parable unto 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 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 fruits 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, and be merry.
20 But God said unto 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 toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto 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 not ye 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 unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax 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 girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
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 to sit down to meat, 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 goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered 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 unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto 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 meat 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 make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants 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 in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which 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 did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be 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 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 rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, 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 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to 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.
