11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not
leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of
the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones
should perish.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee
and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, thentake with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two
or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell itunto the church: but if he neglect to hear the
church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they
shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of
his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand
talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and
children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me,
and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him
the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an
hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took himby the throat, saying, Pay me that thou
owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with
me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told
unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave
thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on
thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was
due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not
every one his brother their trespasses.
1 And it came to pass, thatwhen Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee,
and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man
to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made themat the
beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and
they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put
her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away
your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it befor fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with hiswife, it is not good to
marry.
11 But he said unto them, All mencannot receive this saying, save theyto whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from theirmother's womb: and there are
some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him
receive it.
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put hishands on them, and
pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is
the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid hishands on them, and departed thence.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may
have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there isnone good but one, that is, God: but
if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thymother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I
yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go andsell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come andfollow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great
possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a
rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all
things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee;

what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the
regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or
wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit
everlasting life.
30 But many that arefirst shall be last; and the last shall befirst.
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that isan householder, which went out early in
the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And
they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them,
Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the
vineyard; and whatsoever is right, thatshall ye receive.
8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers,
and give them theirhire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 And when they came that were hiredabout the eleventh hour, they received every man a
penny.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they
likewise received every man a penny.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12 Saying, These last have wrought butone hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which
have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with
me for a penny?
14 Take thatthine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am
good?
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto
them,
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests
and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the
third day he shall rise again.
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and
desiring a certain thing of him.
21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may
sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I
shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him,
We are able.
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it
