]{16:12} And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
{16:13} No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. {16:14} And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. {16:15} And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. {16:16} The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. {16:17} And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. {16:18} Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.
{16:19} There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: {16:20} And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, {16:21} And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. {16:22} And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; {16:23} And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {16:24} And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. {16:25} But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. {16:26} And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence. {16:27} Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: {16:28} For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. {16:29} Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. {16:30} And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. {16:31} And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
{17:1} Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe [unto him,] through whom they come! {17:2} 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.
{17:3} Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. {17:4} 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. {17:5} And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. {17:6} 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. {17:7} 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? {17:8} 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? {17:9} Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. {17:10} 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.
{17:11} And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. {17:12} And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: {17:13} And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. {17:14} 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. {17:15} And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, {17:16} And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. {17:17} And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine? {17:18} There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. {17:19} And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
{17:20} 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: {17:21} Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. {17:22} 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. ]{17:23} And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them,] nor follow [them. ]{17:24} 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. {17:25} But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. {17:26} And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. {17:27} They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. {17:28} Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; {17:29} But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all. {17:30} Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. {17:31} 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. {17:32} Remember Lot’s wife. {17:33} Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. {17:34} 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. {17:35} Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {17:36} Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {17:37} 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.
{18:1} And he spake a parable unto them [to this end,] that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; {18:2} Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: {18:3} And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. {18:4} And he would not for a while: but
