Matthaeus 19-27
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
19 Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus sermones istos, migravit a Galilaea, et venit in fines Judaeae trans Jordanem,
2 et secutae sunt eum turbae multae, et curavit eos ibi.
3 Et accesserunt ad eum pharisaei tentantes eum, et dicentes: Si licet homini dimittere uxorem suam, quacumque ex causa?
4 Qui respondens, ait eis: Non legistis, quia qui fecit hominem ab initio, masculum et feminam fecit eos? Et dixit:
5 Propter hoc dimittet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhaerebit uxori suae, et erunt duo in carne una.
6 Itaque jam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus conjunxit, homo non separet.
7 Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Moyses mandavit dare libellum repudii, et dimittere?
8 Ait illis: Quoniam Moyses ad duritiam cordis vestri permisit vobis dimittere uxores vestras: ab initio autem non fuit sic.
9 Dico autem vobis, quia quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, nisi ob fornicationem, et aliam duxerit, moechatur: et qui dimissam duxerit, moechatur.
10 Dicunt ei discipuli ejus: Si ita est causa hominis cum uxore, non expedit nubere.
11 Qui dixit illis: Non omnes capiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est.
12 Sunt enim eunuchi, qui de matris utero sic nati sunt: et sunt eunuchi, qui facti sunt ab hominibus: et sunt eunuchi, qui seipsos castraverunt propter regnum caelorum. Qui potest capere capiat.
13 Tunc oblati sunt ei parvuli, ut manus eis imponeret, et oraret. Discipuli autem increpabant eos.
14 Jesus vero ait eis: Sinite parvulos, et nolite eos prohibere ad me venire: talium est enim regnum caelorum.
15 Et cum imposuisset eis manus, abiit inde.
16 Et ecce unus accedens, ait illi: Magister bone, quid boni faciam ut habeam vitam aeternam?
17 Qui dixit ei: Quid me interrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus. Si autem vis ad vitam ingredi, serva mandata.
18 Dicit illi: Quae? Jesus autem dixit: Non homicidium facies; non adulterabis; non facies furtum; non falsum testimonium dices;
19 honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, et diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
20 Dicit illi adolescens: Omnia haec custodivi a juventute mea: quid adhuc mihi deest?
21 Ait illi Jesus: Si vis perfectus esse, vade, vende quae habes, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
22 Cum audisset autem adolescens verbum, abiit tristis: erat enim habens multas possessiones.
23 Jesus autem dixit discipulis suis: Amen dico vobis, quia dives difficile intrabit in regnum caelorum.
24 Et iterum dico vobis: Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum caelorum.
25 Auditis autem his, discipuli mirabantur valde, dicentes: Quis ergo poterit salvus esse?
26 Aspiciens autem Jesus, dixit illis: Apud homines hoc impossibile est: apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt.
27 Tunc respondens Petrus, dixit ei: Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, et secuti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis?
28 Jesus autem dixit illis: Amen dico vobis, quod vos, qui secuti estis me, in regeneratione cum sederit Filius hominis in sede majestatis suae, sedebitis et vos super sedes duodecim, judicantes duodecim tribus Israel.
29 Et omnis qui reliquerit domum, vel fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxorem, aut filios, aut agros propter nomen meum, centuplum accipiet, et vitam aeternam possidebit.
30 Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.
20 Simile est regnum caelorum homini patrifamilias, qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam.
2 Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno, misit eos in vineam suam.
3 Et egressus circa horam tertiam, vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos,
4 et dixit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam, et quod justum fuerit dabo vobis.
5 Illi autem abierunt. Iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam: et fecit similiter.
6 Circa undecimam vero exiit, et invenit alios stantes, et dicit illis: Quid hic statis tota die otiosi?
7 Dicunt ei: Quia nemo nos conduxit. Dicit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam.
8 Cum sero autem factum esset, dicit dominus vineae procuratori suo: Voca operarios, et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos.
9 Cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant, acceperunt singulos denarios.
10 Venientes autem et primi, arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi: acceperunt autem et ipsi singulos denarios.
11 Et accipientes murmurabant adversus patremfamilias,
12 dicentes: Hi novissimi una hora fecerunt, et pares illos nobis fecisti, qui portavimus pondus diei, et aestus.
13 At ille respondens uni eorum, dixit: Amice, non facio tibi injuriam: nonne ex denario convenisti mecum?
14 Tolle quod tuum est, et vade: volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi.
15 Aut non licet mihi quod volo, facere? an oculus tuus nequam est, quia ego bonus sum?
16 Sic erunt novissimi primi, et primi novissimi. Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
17 Et ascendens Jesus Jerosolymam, assumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto, et ait illis:
18 Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et condemnabunt eum morte,
19 et tradent eum gentibus ad illudendum, et flagellandum, et crucifigendum, et tertia die resurget.
20 Tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedaei cum filiis suis, adorans et petens aliquid ab eo.
21 Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic ut sedeant hi duo filii mei, unus ad dexteram tuam, et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo.
22 Respondens autem Jesus, dixit: Nescitis quid petatis. Potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibiturus sum? Dicunt ei: Possumus.
23 Ait illis: Calicem quidem meum bibetis: sedere autem ad dexteram meam vel sinistram non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo.
24 Et audientes decem, indignati sunt de duobus fratribus.
25 Jesus autem vocavit eos ad se, et ait: Scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum: et qui majores sunt, potestatem exercent in eos.
26 Non ita erit inter vos: sed quicumque voluerit inter vos major fieri, sit vester minister:
27 et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse, erit vester servus.
28 Sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari, sed ministrare, et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis.
29 Et egredientibus illis ab Jericho, secuta est eum turba multa,
30 et ecce duo caeci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Jesus transiret: et clamaverunt, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David.
31 Turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent. At illi magis clamabant, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David.
32 Et stetit Jesus, et vocavit eos, et ait: Quid vultis ut faciam vobis?
33 Dicunt illi: Domine, ut aperiantur oculi nostri.
34 Misertus autem eorum Jesus, tetigit oculos eorum. Et confestim viderunt, et secuti sunt eum.
21 Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,
2 dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
3 et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
4 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:
5 Dicite filiae Sion: Ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subjugalis.
6 Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut praecepit illis Jesus.
7 Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
8 Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem caedebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:
9 turbae autem, quae praecedebant, et quae sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.
10 Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
11 Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilaeae.
12 Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
13 et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
14 Et accesserunt ad eum caeci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
15 Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribae mirabilia quae fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,
16 et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
17 Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
18 Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.
19 Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea.
20 Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
21 Respondens autem Jesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non haesitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis: Tolle, et jacta te in mare, fiet.
22 Et omnia quaecumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
23 Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate haec facis? et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?
24 Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate haec facio.
25 Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e caelo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
26 Si dixerimus, e caelo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Joannem sicut prophetam.
27 Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec facio.
28 Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
29 Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, poenitentia motus, abiit.
30 Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit:
31 quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Jesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices praecedent vos in regnum Dei.
32 Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiae, et non credidistis ei: publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec poenitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.
33 Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et aedificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
34 Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.
35 Et agricolae, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
36 Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
37 Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
38 Agricolae autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est haeres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus haereditatem ejus.
39 Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
40 Cum ergo venerit dominus vineae, quid faciet agricolis illis?
41 Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
42 Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli: a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
43 Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.
44 Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
45 Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisaei parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
46 Et quaerentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
22 Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens:
2 Simile factum est regnum caelorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo.
3 Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire.
4 Iterum misit alios servos, dicens: Dicite invitatis: Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt, et omnia parata: venite ad nuptias.
5 Illi autem neglexerunt: et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam:
6 reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt.
7 Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est: et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit.
8 Tunc ait servis suis: Nuptiae quidem paratae sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni:
9 ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias.
10 Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos: et impletae sunt nuptiae discumbentium.
11 Intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali.
12 Et ait illi: Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? At ille obmutuit.
13 Tunc dicit rex ministris: Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
14 Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
15 Tunc abeuntes pharisaei, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone.
16 Et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum Herodianis, dicentes: Magister, scimus quia verax es, et viam Dei in veritate doces, et non est tibi cura de aliquo: non enim respicis personam hominum:
17 dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Caesari, an non?
18 Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait: Quid me tentatis, hypocritae?
19 ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium.
20 Et ait illis Jesus: Cujus est imago haec, et superscriptio?
21 Dicunt ei: Caesaris. Tunc ait illis: Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari: et quae sunt Dei, Deo.
22 Et audientes mirati sunt, et relicto eo abierunt.
23 In illo die accesserunt ad eum sadducaei, qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem: et interrogaverunt eum,
24 dicentes: Magister, Moyses dixit: Si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium, ut ducat frater ejus uxorem illius, et suscitet semen fratri suo.
25 Erant autem apud nos septem fratres: et primus, uxore ducta, defunctus est: et non habens semen, reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo.
26 Similiter secundus, et tertius usque ad septimum.
27 Novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est.
28 In resurrectione ergo cujus erit de septem uxor? omnes enim habuerunt eam.
29 Respondens autem Jesus, ait illis: Erratis nescientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei.
30 In resurrectione enim neque nubent, neque nubentur: sed erunt sicut angeli Dei in caelo.
31 De resurrectione autem mortuorum non legistis quod dictum est a Deo dicente vobis:
32 Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob? Non est Deus mortuorum, sed viventium.
33 Et audientes turbae, mirabantur in doctrina ejus.
34 Pharisaei autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducaeis, convenerunt in unum:
35 et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum:
36 Magister, quod est mandatum magnum in lege?
37 Ait illi Jesus: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, et in tota mente tua.
38 Hoc est maximum, et primum mandatum.
39 Secundum autem simile est huic: Diliges proximum tuum, sicut teipsum.
40 In his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet, et prophetae.
41 Congregatis autem pharisaeis, interrogavit eos Jesus,
42 dicens: Quid vobis videtur de Christo? cujus filius est? Dicunt ei: David.
43 Ait illis: Quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum, dicens:
44 Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
45 Si ergo David vocat eum Dominum, quomodo filius ejus est?
46 Et nemo poterat ei respondere verbum: neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare.
23 Tunc Jesus locutus est ad turbas, et ad discipulos suos,
2 dicens: Super cathedram Moysi sederunt scribae et pharisaei.
3 Omnia ergo quaecumque dixerint vobis, servate, et facite: secundum opera vero eorum nolite facere: dicunt enim, et non faciunt.
4 Alligant enim onera gravia, et importabilia, et imponunt in humeros hominum: digito autem suo nolunt ea movere.
5 Omnia vero opera sua faciunt ut videantur ab hominibus: dilatant enim phylacteria sua, et magnificant fimbrias.
6 Amant autem primos recubitus in coenis, et primas cathedras in synagogis,
7 et salutationes in foro, et vocari ab hominibus Rabbi.
8 Vos autem nolite vocari Rabbi: unus est enim magister vester, omnes autem vos fratres estis.
9 Et patrem nolite vocare vobis super terram: unus est enim pater vester qui in caelis est.
10 Nec vocemini magistri: quia magister vester unus est, Christus.
11 Qui major est vestrum, erit minister vester.
12 Qui autem se exaltaverit, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliaverit, exaltabitur.
13 Vae autem vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, quia clauditis regnum caelorum ante homines! vos enim non intratis, nec introeuntes sinitis intrare.
14 Vae vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, quia comeditis domos viduarum, orationes longas orantes! propter hoc amplius accipietis judicium.
15 Vae vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, quia circuitis mare, et aridam, ut faciatis unum proselytum, et cum fuerit factus, facitis eum filium gehennae duplo quam vos.
16 Vae vobis duces caeci, qui dicitis: Quicumque juraverit per templum, nihil est: qui autem juraverit in auro templi, debet.
17 Stulti et caeci: quid enim majus est? aurum, an templum, quod sanctificat aurum?
18 Et quicumque juraverit in altari, nihil est: quicumque autem juraverit in dono, quod est super illud, debet.
19 Caeci: quid enim majus est, donum, an altare, quod sanctificat donum?
20 Qui ergo jurat in altari, jurat in eo, et in omnibus quae super illud sunt.
21 Et quicumque juraverit in templo, jurat in illo, et in eo qui habitat in ipso:
22 et qui jurat in caelo, jurat in throno Dei, et in eo qui sedet super eum.
23 Vae vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, qui decimatis mentham, et anethum, et cyminum, et reliquistis quae graviora sunt legis, judicium, et misericordiam, et fidem! haec oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
24 Duces caeci, excolantes culicem, camelum autem glutientes.
25 Vae vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, quia mundatis quod deforis est calicis et paropsidis; intus autem pleni estis rapina et immunditia!
26 Pharisaee caece, munda prius quod intus est calicis, et paropsidis, ut fiat id, quod deforis est, mundum.
27 Vae vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, quia similes estis sepulchris dealbatis, quae a foris parent hominibus speciosa, intus vero pleni sunt ossibus mortuorum, et omni spurcitia!
28 Sic et vos a foris quidem paretis hominibus justi: intus autem pleni estis hypocrisi et iniquitate.
29 Vae vobis scribae et pharisaei hypocritae, qui aedificatis sepulchra prophetarum, et ornatis monumenta justorum,
30 et dicitis: Si fuissemus in diebus patrum nostrorum, non essemus socii eorum in sanguine prophetarum!
31 itaque testimonio estis vobismetipsis, quia filii estis eorum, qui prophetas occiderunt.
32 Et vos implete mensuram patrum vestrorum.
33 Serpentes, genimina viperarum, quomodo fugietis a judicio gehennae?
34 Ideo ecce ego mitto ad vos prophetas, et sapientes, et scribas, et ex illis occidetis, et crucifigetis, et ex eis flagellabitis in synagogis vestris, et persequemini de civitate in civitatem:
35 ut veniat super vos omnis sanguis justus, qui effusus est super terram, a sanguine Abel justi usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, filii Barachiae, quem occidistis inter templum et altare.
36 Amen dico vobis, venient haec omnia super generationem istam.
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quae occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos, qui ad te missi sunt, quoties volui congregare filios tuos, quemadmodum gallina congregat pullos suos sub alas, et noluisti?
38 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta.
39 Dico enim vobis, non me videbitis amodo, donec dicatis: Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
24 Et egressus Jesus de templo, ibat. Et accesserunt discipuli ejus, ut ostenderent ei aedificationes templi.
2 Ipse autem respondens dixit illis: Videtis haec omnia? amen dico vobis, non relinquetur hic lapis super lapidem, qui non destruatur.
3 Sedente autem eo super montem Oliveti, accesserunt ad eum discipuli secreto, dicentes: Dic nobis, quando haec erunt? et quod signum adventus tui, et consummationis saeculi?
4 Et respondens Jesus, dixit eis: Videte ne quis vos seducat:
5 multi enim venient in nomine meo, dicentes: Ego sum Christus: et multos seducent.
6 Audituri enim estis praelia, et opiniones praeliorum. Videte ne turbemini: oportet enim haec fieri, sed nondum est finis:
7 consurget enim gens in gentem, et regnum in regnum, et erunt pestilentiae, et fames, et terraemotus per loca:
8 haec autem omnia initia sunt dolorum.
9 Tunc tradent vos in tribulationem, et occident vos: et eritis odio omnibus gentibus propter nomen meum.
10 Et tunc scandalizabuntur multi, et invicem tradent, et odio habebunt invicem.
11 Et multi pseudoprophetae surgent, et seducent multos.
12 Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum:
13 qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.
14 Et praedicabitur hoc Evangelium regni in universo orbe, in testimonium omnibus gentibus: et tunc veniet consummatio.
15 Cum ergo videritis abominationem desolationis, quae dicta est a Daniele propheta, stantem in loco sancto, qui legit, intelligat:
16 tunc qui in Judaea sunt, fugiant ad montes:
17 et qui in tecto, non descendat tollere aliquid de domo sua:
18 et qui in agro, non revertatur tollere tunicam suam.
19 Vae autem praegnantibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus!
20 Orate autem ut non fiat fuga vestra in hieme, vel sabbato:
21 erit enim tunc tribulatio magna, qualis non fuit ab initio mundi usque modo, neque fiet.
22 Et nisi breviati fuissent dies illi, non fieret salva omnis caro: sed propter electos breviabuntur dies illi.
23 Tunc si quis vobis dixerit: Ecce hic est Christus, aut illic: nolite credere.
24 Surgent enim pseudochristi, et pseudoprophetae: et dabunt signa magna, et prodigia, ita ut in errorem inducantur (si fieri potest) etiam electi.
25 Ecce praedixi vobis.
26 Si ergo dixerint vobis: Ecce in deserto est, nolite exire; Ecce in penetralibus, nolite credere.
27 Sicut enim fulgur exit ab oriente, et paret usque in occidentem: ita erit et adventus Filii hominis.
28 Ubicumque fuerit corpus, illic congregabuntur et aquilae.
29 Statim autem post tribulationem dierum illorum sol obscurabitur, et luna non dabit lumen suum, et stellae cadent de caelo, et virtutes caelorum commovebuntur:
30 et tunc parebit signum Filii hominis in caelo: et tunc plangent omnes tribus terrae: et videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nubibus caeli cum virtute multa et majestate.
31 Et mittet angelos suos cum tuba, et voce magna: et congregabunt electos ejus a quatuor ventis, a summis caelorum usque ad terminos eorum.
32 Ab arbore autem fici discite parabolam: cum jam ramus ejus tener fuerit, et folia nata, scitis quia prope est aestas:
33 ita et vos cum videritis haec omnia, scitote quia prope est, in januis.
34 Amen dico vobis, quia non praeteribit generatio haec, donec omnia haec fiant.
35 Caelum et terra transibunt, verba autem mea non praeteribunt.
36 De die autem illa et hora nemo scit, neque angeli caelorum, nisi solus Pater.
37 Sicut autem in diebus Noe, ita erit et adventus Filii hominis:
38 sicut enim erant in diebus ante diluvium comedentes et bibentes, nubentes et nuptum tradentes, usque ad eum diem, quo intravit Noe in arcam,
39 et non cognoverunt donec venit diluvium, et tulit omnes: ita erit et adventus Filii hominis.
40 Tunc duo erunt in agro: unus assumetur, et unus relinquetur.
41 Duae molentes in mola: una assumetur, et una relinquetur.
42 Vigilate ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dominus vester venturus sit.
43 Illud autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias qua hora fur venturus esset, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam.
44 Ideo et vos estote parati: quia qua nescitis hora Filius hominis venturus est.
45 Quis, putas, est fidelis servus, et prudens, quem constituit dominus suus super familiam suam ut det illis cibum in tempore?
46 Beatus ille servus, quem cum venerit dominus ejus, invenerit sic facientem.
47 Amen dico vobis, quoniam super omnia bona sua constituet eum.
48 Si autem dixerit malus servus ille in corde suo: Moram fecit dominus meus venire:
49 et coeperit percutere conservos suos, manducet autem et bibat cum ebriosis:
50 veniet dominus servi illius in die qua non sperat, et hora qua ignorat:
51 et dividet eum, partemque ejus ponet cum hypocritis: illic erit fletus et stridor dentium.
25 Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus: quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae.
2 Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes:
3 sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum:
4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus.
5 Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt.
6 Media autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei.
7 Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas.
8 Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt: Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur.
9 Responderunt prudentes, dicentes: Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis.
10 Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus: et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua.
11 Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes: Domine, domine, aperi nobis.
12 At ille respondens, ait: Amen dico vobis, nescio vos.
13 Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam.
14 Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua.
15 Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem: et profectus est statim.
16 Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque.
17 Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo.
18 Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui.
19 Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis.
20 Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens: Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum.
21 Ait illi dominus ejus: Euge serve bone, et fidelis: quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui.
22 Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait: Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum.
23 Ait illi dominus ejus: Euge serve bone, et fidelis: quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui.
24 Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait: Domine, scio quia homo durus es; metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti:
25 et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra: ecce habes quod tuum est.
26 Respondens autem dominus ejus, dixit ei: Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi:
27 oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura.
28 Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei qui habet decem talenta:
29 omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ei autem qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo.
30 Et inutilem servum ejicite in tenebras exteriores: illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
31 Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in majestate sua, et omnes angeli cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem majestatis suae:
32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab haedis:
33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, haedos autem a sinistris.
34 Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris ejus erunt: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi:
35 esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere: hospes eram, et collegistis me:
36 nudus, et cooperuistis me: infirmus, et visitastis me: in carcere eram, et venistis ad me.
37 Tunc respondebunt ei justi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te: sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum?
38 quando autem te vidimus hospitem, et collegimus te: aut nudum, et cooperuimus te?
39 aut quando te vidimus infirmum, aut in carcere, et venimus ad te?
40 Et respondens rex, dicet illis: Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis.
41 Tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt: Discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum, qui paratus est diabolo, et angelis ejus:
42 esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et non dedistis mihi potum:
43 hospes eram, et non collegistis me: nudus, et non cooperuistis me: infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me.
44 Tunc respondebunt ei et ipsi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, aut sitientem, aut hospitem, aut nudum, aut infirmum, aut in carcere, et non ministravimus tibi?
45 Tunc respondebit illis, dicens: Amen dico vobis: Quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his, nec mihi fecistis.
46 Et ibunt hi in supplicium aeternum: justi autem in vitam aeternam.
26 Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus sermones hos omnes, dixit discipulis suis:
2 Scitis quia post biduum Pascha fiet, et Filius hominis tradetur ut crucifigatur.
3 Tunc congregati sunt principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, in atrium principis sacerdotum, qui dicebatur Caiphas:
4 et consilium fecerunt ut Jesum dolo tenerent, et occiderent.
5 Dicebant autem: Non in die festo, ne forte tumultus fieret in populo.
6 Cum autem Jesus esset in Bethania in domo Simonis leprosi,
7 accessit ad eum mulier habens alabastrum unguenti pretiosi, et effudit super caput ipsius recumbentis.
8 Videntes autem discipuli, indignati sunt, dicentes: Ut quid perditio haec?
9 potuit enim istud venundari multo, et dari pauperibus.
10 Sciens autem Jesus, ait illis: Quid molesti estis huic mulieri? opus enim bonum operata est in me.
11 Nam semper pauperes habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
12 Mittens enim haec unguentum hoc in corpus meum, ad sepeliendum me fecit.
13 Amen dico vobis, ubicumque praedicatum fuerit hoc Evangelium in toto mundo, dicetur et quod haec fecit in memoriam ejus.
14 Tunc abiit unus de duodecim, qui dicebatur Judas Iscariotes, ad principes sacerdotum:
15 et ait illis: Quid vultis mihi dare, et ego vobis eum tradam? At illi constituerunt ei triginta argenteos.
16 Et exinde quaerebat opportunitatem ut eum traderet.
17 Prima autem die azymorum accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Ubi vis paremus tibi comedere Pascha?
18 At Jesus dixit: Ite in civitatem ad quemdam, et dicite ei: Magister dicit: Tempus meum prope est, apud te facio Pascha cum discipulis meis.
19 Et fecerunt discipuli sicut constituit illis Jesus, et paraverunt Pascha.
20 Vespere autem facto, discumbebat cum duodecim discipulis suis.
21 Et edentibus illis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, quia unus vestrum me traditurus est.
22 Et contristati valde, coeperunt singuli dicere: Numquid ego sum Domine?
23 At ipse respondens, ait: Qui intingit mecum manum in paropside, hic me tradet.
24 Filius quidem hominis vadit, sicut scriptum est de illo: vae autem homini illi, per quem Filius hominis tradetur! bonum erat ei, si natus non fuisset homo ille.
25 Respondens autem Judas, qui tradidit eum, dixit: Numquid ego sum Rabbi? Ait illi: Tu dixisti.
26 Coenantibus autem eis, accepit Jesus panem, et benedixit, ac fregit, deditque discipulis suis, et ait: Accipite, et comedite: hoc est corpus meum.
27 Et accipiens calicem, gratias egit: et dedit illis, dicens: Bibite ex hoc omnes.
28 Hic est enim sanguis meus novi testamenti, qui pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.
29 Dico autem vobis: non bibam amodo de hoc genimine vitis usque in diem illum, cum illud bibam vobiscum novum in regno Patris mei.
30 Et hymno dicto, exierunt in montem Oliveti.
31 Tunc dicit illis Jesus: Omnes vos scandalum patiemini in me in ista nocte. Scriptum est enim: Percutiam pastorem, et dispergentur oves gregis.
32 Postquam autem resurrexero, praecedam vos in Galilaeam.
33 Respondens autem Petrus, ait illi: Et si omnes scandalizati fuerint in te, ego numquam scandalizabor.
34 Ait illi Jesus: Amen dico tibi, quia in hac nocte, antequam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.
35 Ait illi Petrus: Etiamsi oportuerit me mori tecum, non te negabo. Similiter et omnes discipuli dixerunt.
36 Tunc venit Jesus cum illis in villam, quae dicitur Gethsemani, et dixit discipulis suis: Sedete hic donec vadam illuc, et orem.
37 Et assumpto Petro, et duobus filiis Zebedaei, coepit contristari et moestus esse.
38 Tunc ait illis: Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem: sustinete hic, et vigilate mecum.
39 Et progressus pusillum, procidit in faciem suam, orans, et dicens: Pater mi, si possibile est, transeat a me calix iste: verumtamen non sicut ego volo, sed sicut tu.
40 Et venit ad discipulos suos, et invenit eos dormientes, et dicit Petro: Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum?
41 Vigilate, et orate ut non intretis in tentationem. Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma.
42 Iterum secundo abiit, et oravit, dicens: Pater mi, si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum, fiat voluntas tua.
43 Et venit iterum, et invenit eos dormientes: erant enim oculi eorum gravati.
44 Et relictis illis, iterum abiit, et oravit tertio, eumdem sermonem dicens.
45 Tunc venit ad discipulos suos, et dicit illis: Dormite jam, et requiescite: ecce appropinquavit hora, et Filius hominis tradetur in manus peccatorum.
46 Surgite, eamus: ecce appropinquavit qui me tradet.
47 Adhuc eo loquente, ecce Judas unus de duodecim venit, et cum eo turba multa cum gladiis et fustibus, missi a principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi.
48 Qui autem tradidit eum, dedit illis signum, dicens: Quemcumque osculatus fuero, ipse est, tenete eum.
49 Et confestim accedens ad Jesum, dixit: Ave Rabbi. Et osculatus est eum.
50 Dixitque illi Jesus: Amice, ad quid venisti? Tunc accesserunt, et manus injecerunt in Jesum, et tenuerunt eum.
51 Et ecce unus ex his qui erant cum Jesu, extendens manum, exemit gladium suum, et percutiens servum principis sacerdotum amputavit auriculam ejus.
52 Tunc ait illi Jesus: Converte gladium tuum in locum suum: omnes enim, qui acceperint gladium, gladio peribunt.
53 An putas, quia non possum rogare patrem meum, et exhibebit mihi modo plusquam duodecim legiones angelorum?
54 Quomodo ergo implebuntur Scripturae, quia sic oportet fieri?
55 In illa hora dixit Jesus turbis: Tamquam ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus comprehendere me: quotidie apud vos sedebam docens in templo, et non me tenuistis.
56 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimplerentur Scripturae prophetarum. Tunc discipuli omnes, relicto eo, fugerunt.
57 At illi tenentes Jesum, duxerunt ad Caipham principem sacerdotum, ubi scribae et seniores convenerant.
58 Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, usque in atrium principis sacerdotum. Et ingressus intro, sedebat cum ministris, ut videret finem.
59 Principes autem sacerdotum, et omne concilium, quaerebant falsum testimonium contra Jesum, ut eum morti traderent:
60 et non invenerunt, cum multi falsi testes accessissent. Novissime autem venerunt duo falsi testes,
61 et dixerunt: Hic dixit: Possum destruere templum Dei, et post triduum reaedificare illud.
62 Et surgens princeps sacerdotum, ait illi: Nihil respondes ad ea, quae isti adversum te testificantur?
63 Jesus autem tacebat. Et princeps sacerdotum ait illi: Adjuro te per Deum vivum, ut dicas nobis si tu es Christus Filius Dei.
64 Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dixisti. Verumtamen dico vobis, amodo videbitis Filium hominis sedentem a dextris virtutis Dei, et venientem in nubibus caeli.
65 Tunc princeps sacerdotum scidit vestimenta sua, dicens: Blasphemavit: quid adhuc egemus testibus? ecce nunc audistis blasphemiam:
66 quid vobis videtur? At illi respondentes dixerunt: Reus est mortis.
67 Tunc exspuerunt in faciem ejus, et colaphis eum ceciderunt, alii autem palmas in faciem ejus dederunt,
68 dicentes: Prophetiza nobis Christe, quis est qui te percussit?
69 Petrus vero sedebat foris in atrio: et accessit ad eum una ancilla, dicens: Et tu cum Jesu Galilaeo eras.
70 At ille negavit coram omnibus, dicens: Nescio quid dicis.
71 Exeunte autem illo januam, vidit eum alia ancilla, et ait his qui erant ibi: Et hic erat cum Jesu Nazareno.
72 Et iterum negavit cum juramento: Quia non novi hominem.
73 Et post pusillum accesserunt qui stabant, et dixerunt Petro: Vere et tu ex illis es: nam et loquela tua manifestum te facit.
74 Tunc coepit detestari et jurare quia non novisset hominem. Et continuo gallus cantavit.
75 Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Jesu, quod dixerat: Priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis. Et egressus foras, flevit amare.
27 Mane autem facto, consilium inierunt omnes principes sacerdotum et seniores populi adversus Jesum, ut eum morti traderent.
2 Et vinctum adduxerunt eum, et tradiderunt Pontio Pilato praesidi.
3 Tunc videns Judas, qui eum tradidit, quod damnatus esset, poenitentia ductus, retulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus,
4 dicens: Peccavi, tradens sanguinem justum. At illi dixerunt: Quid ad nos? tu videris.
5 Et projectis argenteis in templo, recessit: et abiens laqueo se suspendit.
6 Principes autem sacerdotum, acceptis argenteis, dixerunt: Non licet eos mittere in corbonam: quia pretium sanguinis est.
7 Consilio autem inito, emerunt ex illis agrum figuli, in sepulturam peregrinorum.
8 Propter hoc vocatus est ager ille, Haceldama, hoc est, Ager sanguinis, usque in hodiernum diem.
9 Tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Jeremiam prophetam, dicentem: Et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium appretiati, quem appretiaverunt a filiis Israel:
10 et dederunt eos in agrum figuli, sicut constituit mihi Dominus.
11 Jesus autem stetit ante praesidem, et interrogavit eum praeses, dicens: Tu es rex Judaeorum? Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dicis.
12 Et cum accusaretur a principibus sacerdotum et senioribus, nihil respondit.
13 Tunc dicit illi Pilatus: Non audis quanta adversum te dicunt testimonia?
14 Et non respondit ei ad ullum verbum, ita ut miraretur praeses vehementer.
15 Per diem autem solemnem consueverat praeses populo dimittere unum vinctum, quem voluissent:
16 habebat autem tunc vinctum insignem, qui dicebatur Barabbas.
17 Congregatis ergo illis, dixit Pilatus: Quem vultis dimittam vobis: Barabbam, an Jesum, qui dicitur Christus?
18 Sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum.
19 Sedente autem illo pro tribunali, misit ad eum uxor ejus, dicens: Nihil tibi, et justo illi: multa enim passa sum hodie per visum propter eum.
20 Principes autem sacerdotum et seniores persuaserunt populis ut peterent Barabbam, Jesum vero perderent.
21 Respondens autem praeses, ait illis: Quem vultis vobis de duobus dimitti? At illi dixerunt: Barabbam.
22 Dicit illis Pilatus: Quid igitur faciam de Jesu, qui dicitur Christus?
23 Dicunt omnes: Crucifigatur. Ait illis praeses: Quid enim mali fecit? At illi magis clamabant dicentes: Crucifigatur.
24 Videns autem Pilatus quia nihil proficeret, sed magis tumultus fieret: accepta aqua, lavit manus coram populo, dicens: Innocens ego sum a sanguine justi hujus: vos videritis.
25 Et respondens universus populus, dixit: Sanguis ejus super nos, et super filios nostros.
26 Tunc dimisit illis Barabbam: Jesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur.
27 Tunc milites praesidis suscipientes Jesum in praetorium, congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem:
28 et exuentes eum, chlamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei,
29 et plectentes coronam de spinis, posuerunt super caput ejus, et arundinem in dextera ejus. Et genu flexo ante eum, illudebant ei, dicentes: Ave rex Judaeorum.
30 Et exspuentes in eum, acceperunt arundinem, et percutiebant caput ejus.
31 Et postquam illuserunt ei, exuerunt eum chlamyde, et induerunt eum vestimentis ejus, et duxerunt eum ut crucifigerent.
32 Exeuntes autem invenerunt hominem Cyrenaeum, nomine Simonem: hunc angariaverunt ut tolleret crucem ejus.
33 Et venerunt in locum qui dicitur Golgotha, quod est Calvariae locus.
34 Et dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mistum. Et cum gustasset, noluit bibere.
35 Postquam autem crucifixerunt eum, diviserunt vestimenta ejus, sortem mittentes: ut impleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem: Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.
36 Et sedentes servabant eum.
37 Et imposuerunt super caput ejus causam ipsius scriptam: Hic est Jesus rex Judaeorum.
38 Tunc crucifixi sunt cum eo duo latrones: unus a dextris, et unus a sinistris.
39 Praetereuntes autem blasphemabant eum moventes capita sua,
40 et dicentes: Vah! qui destruis templum Dei, et in triduo illud reaedificas: salva temetipsum: si Filius Dei es, descende de cruce.
41 Similiter et principes sacerdotum illudentes cum scribis et senioribus dicebant:
42 Alios salvos fecit, seipsum non potest salvum facere: si rex Israel est, descendat nunc de cruce, et credimus ei:
43 confidit in Deo: liberet nunc, si vult eum: dixit enim: Quia Filius Dei sum.
44 Idipsum autem et latrones, qui crucifixi erant cum eo, improperabant ei.
45 A sexta autem hora tenebrae factae sunt super universam terram usque ad horam nonam.
46 Et circa horam nonam clamavit Jesus voce magna, dicens: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? hoc est: Deus meus, Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?
47 Quidam autem illic stantes, et audientes, dicebant: Eliam vocat iste.
48 Et continuo currens unus ex eis, acceptam spongiam implevit aceto, et imposuit arundini, et dabat ei bibere.
49 Ceteri vero dicebant: Sine, videamus an veniat Elias liberans eum.
50 Jesus autem iterum clamans voce magna, emisit spiritum.
51 Et ecce velum templi scissum est in duas partes a summo usque deorsum: et terra mota est, et petrae scissae sunt,
52 et monumenta aperta sunt: et multa corpora sanctorum, qui dormierant, surrexerunt.
53 Et exeuntes de monumentis post resurrectionem ejus, venerunt in sanctam civitatem, et apparuerunt multis.
54 Centurio autem, et qui cum eo erant, custodientes Jesum, viso terraemotu, et his quae fiebant, timuerunt valde, dicentes: Vere Filius Dei erat iste.
55 Erant autem ibi mulieres multae a longe, quae secutae erant Jesum a Galilaea, ministrantes ei:
56 inter quas erat Maria Magdalene, et Maria Jacobi, et Joseph mater, et mater filiorum Zebedaei.
57 Cum autem sero factum esset, venit quidam homo dives ab Arimathaea, nomine Joseph, qui et ipse discipulus erat Jesu:
58 hic accessit ad Pilatum, et petiit corpus Jesu. Tunc Pilatus jussit reddi corpus.
59 Et accepto corpore, Joseph involvit illud in sindone munda,
60 et posuit illud in monumento suo novo, quod exciderat in petra. Et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti, et abiit.
61 Erant autem ibi Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria, sedentes contra sepulchrum.
62 Altera autem die, quae est post Parasceven, convenerunt principes sacerdotum et pharisaei ad Pilatum,
63 dicentes: Domine, recordati sumus, quia seductor ille dixit adhuc vivens: Post tres dies resurgam.
64 Jube ergo custodiri sepulchrum usque in diem tertium: ne forte veniant discipuli ejus, et furentur eum, et dicant plebi: Surrexit a mortuis: et erit novissimus error pejor priore.
65 Ait illis Pilatus: Habetis custodiam, ite, custodite sicut scitis.
66 Illi autem abeuntes, munierunt sepulchrum, signantes lapidem, cum custodibus.
Matthew 19-25
New International Version
Matthew 19-25
New International Version
Divorce(A)
19 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(B) he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(C) there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife(D) for any and every reason?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a](E) 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]?(F) 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(G)
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”(H)
10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.(I) 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
The Little Children and Jesus(J)
13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them(K) and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs(L) to such as these.”(M) 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
The Rich and the Kingdom of God(N)
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(O)?”(P)
17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(Q)
18 “Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(R) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c](S) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”(T)
20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(U) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(X) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Y)
27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(Z) What then will there be for us?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(AA) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AB) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(AC) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(AD)
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like(AE) a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.(AF) 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[f] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
8 “When evening came,(AG) the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble(AH) against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat(AI) of the day.’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend.(AJ) Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’(AK)
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”(AL)
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(AM)
17 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem,(AN) and the Son of Man(AO) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(AP) They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged(AQ) and crucified.(AR) On the third day(AS) he will be raised to life!”(AT)
A Mother’s Request(AU)
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons(AV) came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down,(AW) asked a favor of him.
21 “What is it you want?” he asked.
She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”(AX)
22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup(AY) I am going to drink?”
“We can,” they answered.
23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup,(AZ) but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant(BA) with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(BB) 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man(BC) did not come to be served, but to serve,(BD) and to give his life as a ransom(BE) for many.”
Two Blind Men Receive Sight(BF)
29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David,(BG) have mercy on us!”
31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”
34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(BH)(BI)
21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,(BJ) Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4 This took place to fulfill(BK) what was spoken through the prophet:
5 “Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”[g](BL)
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks(BM) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet(BQ) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple(BR)
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying(BS) and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers(BT) and the benches of those selling doves.(BU) 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[k](BV) but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[l]”(BW)
14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.(BX) 15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,”(BY) they were indignant.(BZ)
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,(CB) where he spent the night.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree(CC)
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.(CD)
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt,(CE) not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for(CF) in prayer.”
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(CG)
23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority(CH) are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(CI)
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
The Parable of the Two Sons
28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’(CJ)
29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors(CK) and the prostitutes(CL) are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,(CM) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors(CN) and the prostitutes(CO) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent(CP) and believe him.
The Parable of the Tenants(CQ)
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted(CR) a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.(CS) Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.(CT) 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants(CU) to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.(CV) 36 Then he sent other servants(CW) to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir.(CX) Come, let’s kill him(CY) and take his inheritance.’(CZ) 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,”(DA) they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants,(DB) who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[n]?(DC)
43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you(DD) and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”[o](DE)
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.(DF)
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(DG)
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like(DH) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants(DI) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants(DJ) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(DK) and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners(DL) and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good,(DM) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend(DN)?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(DO)
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(DP)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(DQ)
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(DR) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[p](DS) to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(DT) and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(DU)
Marriage at the Resurrection(DV)
23 That same day the Sadducees,(DW) who say there is no resurrection,(DX) came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.(DY) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures(DZ) or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;(EA) they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[q]?(EB) He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.(EC)
The Greatest Commandment(ED)
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,(EE) the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law,(EF) tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[r](EG) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[s](EH) 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”(EI)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(EJ)
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”
“The son of David,”(EK) they replied.
43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet.”’[t](EL)
45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.(EM)
A Warning Against Hypocrisy(EN)(EO)
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law(EP) and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.(EQ)
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see:(ER) They make their phylacteries[u](ES) wide and the tassels on their garments(ET) long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;(EU) 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.(EV)
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(EW) and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(EX) 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(EY)
Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!(EZ) You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.(FA) [14] [v]
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,(FB) and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell(FC) as you are.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides!(FD) You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’(FE) 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?(FF) 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?(FG) 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells(FH) in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(FI)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth(FJ) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.(FK) You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides!(FL) You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish,(FM) but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.(FN) 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,(FO) which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets(FP) and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.(FQ) 32 Go ahead, then, and complete(FR) what your ancestors started!(FS)
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers!(FT) How will you escape being condemned to hell?(FU) 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify;(FV) others you will flog in your synagogues(FW) and pursue from town to town.(FX) 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel(FY) to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah,(FZ) whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.(GA) 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.(GB)
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,(GC) how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(GD) and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(GE) 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[w]”(GF)
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(GG)
24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another;(GH) every one will be thrown down.”
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(GI) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(GJ) and of the end of the age?”(GK)
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(GL) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(GM) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(GN) There will be famines(GO) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(GP) and put to death,(GQ) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(GR) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(GS) will appear and deceive many people.(GT) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(GU) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(GV) will be preached in the whole world(GW) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(GX) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[x](GY) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(GZ) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(HA) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(HB)
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(HC) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(HD) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(HE) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(HF) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(HG) of the Son of Man.(HH) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(HI)
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[y](HJ)
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[z] will mourn(HK) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(HL) with power and great glory.[aa] 31 And he will send his angels(HM) with a loud trumpet call,(HN) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[ab] is near, right at the door.(HO) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(HP) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(HQ)
The Day and Hour Unknown(HR)(HS)
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[ac] but only the Father.(HT) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(HU) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(HV) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(HW) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(HX) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(HY)
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(HZ) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(IA) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(IB) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,(IC) whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.(ID) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.(IE) 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.(IF) 50 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. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(IG)
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like(IH) ten virgins who took their lamps(II) and went out to meet the bridegroom.(IJ) 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.(IK) 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
