a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

3 But he answering, saith to tem: What did Moses command you?

4 Who said Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.

5 To whom JESUS answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept.

6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.

7 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.

8 And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.

11 And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

13 And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 Whom when JESUS saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

16 And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?

18 And JESUS said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.

20 But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things 1 have observed from my youth.

21 And JESUS looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee; go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

22 Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 And JESUS looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they, that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But JESUS again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God!

25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26 Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?

27 And JESUS looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with God.

28 And Peter began to say unto

Ver. 18. None is good. Of himself entirely and essentially, but God alone; men may be good also, but only by participation of God's goodness.

him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.

33 Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes and ancients, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the gentiles.

34 And they shall mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him; and the third day he shall rise again.

35 And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to him saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us.

36 But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? 37 And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.

38 And JESUs said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?

45 For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.

46 And they come to Jericho : and as he went out of Jericho, with his disciples, and a very great multitude, Bar-timeus the blind man, the son of Timeus, sat by the way side begging.

47 Who when he had heard that it was JESUS of Nazareth, began to cry out, and to say: JESUS, son of David, have mercy on me.

48 And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

49 And JESUS standing still commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort: arise, he

calleth thee.

50 Who casting off his garment leaped up, and came to him,

51 And JESUS answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni, that I may see.

39 But they said to him: We can. And JESUS saith to them: 52 And JESUS saith to him: Go You shall indeed drink of the cha-lthy way, thy faith hath made thee

CHAP. XI.

Christ enters into Jerusalem, &c. AND when they were drawing

near to Jerusalem and to Bethania at the mount of olives he sendeth two of his disciples,

2 And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat: loose him, and bring him.

3 And if any man shall say to you, What are you doing? say ye that the Lord hath need of him : and immediately he will let him come hither.

4 And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without in the meeting of two ways: and they loose him.

5 And some of them that stood there, said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

6 Who said to them as JESUS had commanded them; and they let him go with them.

7 And they brought the colt to JESUS; and they lay their garments on him, and he sat upon him.

8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way.

9 And they that went before and they that followed cried saying: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh, Hosanna in the highest.

11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the even tide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

12 And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.

14 And answering, he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 And they come to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves.

16 And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple;

17 And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves.

18 Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

19 And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

20 And when they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig-tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away.

22 And JESUS answering saith to them: Have the faith of God.

23 Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done: it shall be done unto him.

24 Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall re13 And when he had seen afar ceive: and they shall come unto you.

26 But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins.

27 And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

28 And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

29 And JESUs answering said to them I will also ask you one word, and answer you me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

5 And again he sent another, and him they killed and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.

6 Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.

7 But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come, let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.

8 And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.

10 And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the buildrejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

31 But they thought with them-ers selves saying: If we say, from heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

32 If we say, from men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

33 And they answering say to JESUS: We know not. And JESUS answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

CHAP. XII. The parable of the vineyard, &c. AND he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the wine fat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.

2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen, of the fruit of the vineyard.

11 By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.

12 And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him they went their way.

13 And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians; that they should catch him in his words.

14 Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar; or shall we not give it?
