6 And the disciples hearing, fell 23 Who turning said to Peter: upon their face, and were very much Go behind me, satan, thou art a afraid. scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

24 Then JESUS said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

26 For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

27 For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels and then will he render to every man according to his works. 28 Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the son of man coming in his kingdom. CHAP. XVII.

The transfiguration of Christ. A unto him Peter and James, and ND after six days JESUS taketh

John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart;

2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun and his garments became white as snow.

3 And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.

7 And JESUS came and touched them, and said to them: Arise, and fear not.

8 And they lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only JESUS.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, JESUS charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the son of man be risen from the dead.

10 And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?

11 But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.

12 But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the son of man shall suffer from them.

13 Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.

the multitude, there came to him

14 And when he was come to

a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.

15 And 1 brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Ver. 23. Satan. This word signifles in Hebrew an adversary; and is here applied to Est, because he opposed our Saviour's passion.

6 Then JESUS answered and sald: 0 unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.

17 And JESUS rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.

18 Then came the disciples to JESUS secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?

CHAP XVIII. Christ teaches humility. AT that hour the disciples came to JESUS, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And JESUS calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,

3 Ánd said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

19 JESUS said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain 4 Whosoever therefore shall of mustard seed, you shall say to humble himself as this little child, this mountain, Remove from hence he is the greater in the kingdom of hither, and it shall remove; and heaven. nothing shall be impossible to you.

20 But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.

21 And when they abode together in Galilee, JESUS said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

22 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.

23 And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter, and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachma?

24 He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, JESUS prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?

25 And he said: Of strangers. JESUS said to him: Then the children are free.

26 But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.

5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Wo to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless wo to that man by whom the scandal cometh.

8 And if thy hand or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

10 See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and onear

them should go astray; doth he not take an account of his serva leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray?

13 And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninetynine that went not astray.

14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones' should perish.

15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.

17 And if he will not hear them, tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.

24 And when he had begur take the account, one was brou to him, that owed him ten thous talents.

25 And as he had not wherew to pay it, his lord commanded t he should be sold, and his wife a children and all that he had, a payment to be made.

26 But that servant falling dow besought him, saying: Have tience with me, and I will pay th all.

27 And the lord of that serva being moved with pity, let him and forgave him the debt.

28 But when that servant w gone out, he found one of his fello servants that owed him an hundr pence and laying hola of him throttled him, saying: Pay wh thou owest.

29 And his fellow-servant fallin down, besought him, saying: Ha patience with me, and I will pa thee all.

18 Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; 30 And he would not: but wer and whatsoever you shall loose and cast him into prison, till h upon earth, shall be loosed also in paid the debt.

20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 JESUS saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would

32 Then his lord called him; an said to him: Thou wicked servant 1 forgave thee all the debt, becaus thou besoughtest me :

33 Shouldst not thou then hav had compassion also on thy fel low-servant, even as I had compas sion on thee?

34 And his lord being angry de livered him to the torturers, until he paid all the debt.

35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.

take it.

13 Then were little children presented to him, that he should 'impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.

14 But JESUS said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me for the kingdom of heaven is for such.

15 And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from

thence.

6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.

7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away.

.

18 He said to him: Which? And 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 thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of 20 The young man saith to him: your heart permitted you to put All these have I kept from my youth, away your wives but from the what is yet wanting to me? beginning it was not so.

10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.

11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.

12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there

:

22 And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.

23 Then JESUS said to his disciples: Amen I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say to you, 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 heaven.

27 Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?

28 And JESUS said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake shall receive an hundred-fold, and shall possess life everlasting.

9 When therefore they were come that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10 But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.

11 And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

12 Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.

13 But he answering said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?

14 Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.

15 Or, is it not lawful for me to

2 And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle.

4 And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.

5 And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour and did in like manner.

16 So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.

17 And JESUS going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:

18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.

19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.

6 But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others. 20 Then came to him the mother standing, and he saith to them of the sons of Zebedee with her Why stand you here all the day idle? sons, adoring and asking something 7 They say to him: Because no of him. man hath hired us.
