“Woman, thou_“art_loosed from_thine rinfirmity.”
18 And He_laid His -hands on her: and immediately she _was _ made - straight, and ~glorified -God.
14 And the ruler_of_the_synagogue “zanswered +with_indignation, because_ that ~Jesus had_healed on_the sabbath day, and said unto_the mpeople, “There_are six days in which men ought to_work: in them therefore come and be_healed, and not on_the sabbath -day.” ‘
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, “Zhow hypocrite, doth not each_one of_you on_the sabbath loose his -ox or his -ass from the stall, and sslead_him_away to_watering ?
16 And -ought not this_woman, being a daughter of_Abraham, whom «Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, *be_loosed from this -bond on_the sab- bath -day?”
7 And swhen He had_said these_ things, all His «adversaries ~were_ ashamed: and all the “people ~re- joiced for all the glorious_things that were_done by Him.
18 Then said_He, “ Unto_what is the kingdom of_-God like? and whereunto shall_I_! resemble it ?
19 Jt_is like a grain of_mustard_ seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it_grew, and waxed ,va great tree; and the fowls of_the air lodged in the branches of_it.”
20 And again He-_said, “ Whereunto
21 It_is like leaver, which a woman took and hid in three s measures of_ meal, till the whole was_leavened.”
2 And He_“went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
2 Then said one unto_Him, “ Lord, are_there few that be_saved?” And He-_said unto_them,
24 “c'lStrive to_-enter_in ‘at the strait gate: for many, I_say unto_ you, will_seek to_*enter_in, and shall not be_able.

31 The same «day there_came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto_Him,|) “-Get_Thee_out, and epart hence: for Herod ¢@will -kill Thee.’
32 And He-_said unto_them, “*+Go_ye, and -tell that «fox, Behold, I_cast_out de devils, and I_p do cures to_day and to_morrow, and the third day I_shall_ be_perfected. 5 33 Nevertheless I must walk to_day, and to_morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that_a_prophet -perish out_of Jerusalem.

5 And -ssanswered them, saying, “Which of_you shall_have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straight- Mes pull him out on the. sabbath day?”
6 And they_could not ‘answer Him again to these_things.
7 And He_put_forth a parable to those_which “were_bidden, +when_He_ marked how they _~chose_out the ce chief_rooms ; saying unto them,
8 “When thou_-art_-bidden of any man to a »=wedding, r*sit not down in the chhighest_ room; lest a more _ honourable_man than-_thou be “bidden of him ;

“bade Him, “ When thou_makest a din- ner or a supper, 'call not thy friends, nor thy -brethren, neither thy -kins- men, nor thy rich neighbours; lest thep also bid thee again, and a recompence -be_made thee.
18 But when thou_makest a feast, 'eall the =poor, the =maimed, the =lame, the =blind :
i And thou_shalt_be blessed; for they_cannot-recompense thee: for thou shalt_be_recompensed at the resurrec- tion of_the just.”
16 And «when one of_them_that rsat_at_meat_with Him heard these_ ~|things, he_said unto_Him, “ Blessed is he_that shall_eat bread in the kingdom of_-God.”
16 Then said_He unto_him, “ A certain man made a great supper, and bade
many:
17 And sent his 4-servant at -supper ctime to_ssay to_them_that “were _ bidden, ‘'Conie; for all_things are now ready.”

The first said ' |unto_him, ‘I_have_bought a 7 piece_of_ ground, and I_must needs -go and «see it: I_pray thee have me “excused.” 19 And another said, ‘I_have_bought |five yoke of_oxen, and I_go to_-prove _ |them : I_pray thee have me “excused.’ 20 And another said, ‘ I_kave_married a wife, and therefore I cannot -come.’ 21 So that /-servant -:came, and shewed his -lord these_things. Then - \the master_of_the_house «+being_angry said to_his 4 servant, ‘-Go_out quickly into the streets and lanes of_the city, and bring_in hit!er the =poor, and the =maimed, and the =halt, and the =blind.’ 2 And the }servant said, ‘Lord, it_ “is_done as thou_shast_ commanded, and yet there_is room.’ 23 And the lord said unto the @ser- yant, ‘-Go_out into the highways and hedges, and -compel them to_-come_in, that my shouse ‘may_)e_filled. 24 For I_say unto_you, That none of_ those -men which .“were_bidden shall_ taste of_my ssupper.’” > And there_“went great multitudes
with Him: and He_-+turned, and said |
unto them,

3 And He_spake this -parable unto them, saying,

19 And am no_more worthy to_-be_ called thy son: «make me as one of_thy chired_servants.’
20 And he_-sarose, and came to his -father. But+when he was yet a great_ way off, his «father saw him, and had_ compassion, and -sran, and fell on his -neck, and ‘kissed him. -
21 And the son said unto _ him, ‘Father, I_have_sinned against -hea- ven, and in thy sight, and am no_more worthy to_-be_called thy son.’
2 But the father said to his & yants, ‘*Bring_forth the /best robe, and -put_it_on him ; and -put a ring on his “hand, and shoes on /iis feet :

25 Now his elder «son ~was in the field: and as +he_came wnd drew_nigh to_the house, he_heard music and dancing.
26 And he_s:called one of_the yser- vants, and ~asked what these_things meant.
27 And he said unto_him, ‘Thy -brother is_come ; and thy -father hath killed the fatted «calf, because he_hath_ received him safe_and_sound,’
28 And he_was_angry, and would not ‘go_in: therefore -scame his «father out, and ~intreated him.
29 And he -sanswering said to his efather, ‘Lo, these.many years do_I_ sserve thee, neither transgressed_I at_ any_time thy commandment; and_yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I_ smight_make_merry with my -friends:

31 And he said unto_him, ‘¢ Son, thow art ever with me, and =all that I_have is thine.
32 ,bIt_“was_meet that_we_-should_ make_merry, and -be_glad ; for this thy brother ~was dead, and «is_alive_ again ; and “was “lost, and 7s ‘found.”

2 And «+he_called him, and said unto_ him, ‘w How-is_it that_I_hear this ¢ of thee? g:give an account of _thy «stewardship ; for thou catmayest be no longer steward.’

5 So «he_called e every one of_his -lord’s «debtors unto_him, and said unto_the first, ‘How_much owest_thou unto_my -lord ?’
6 And he said, ‘A hundred > measures of_oil. And he_said unto_him, ‘*Take thy ~bill, and »4sit.down quickly, and write fifty.’
7 Then said_he to_another, ‘And how_ much owest thou?’ And he said, ‘A hundred cmeasures of_wheat.’ And he_'said unto_him, ‘Take thy ~bill, and write fourscore.’
8 And the lord commended the un- just -steward, because he_*had_done pwisely: for the schildren of _ this aeworld are in -theiro «generation m wiser than the s children of_-light.
2 And ¥ say unto _you, * e to_ yourselves friends +y of the rmammon of_-unrighteousness; that, when ye_ ‘fail, they_*may_receive you into -ever- lasting ‘ habitations. :
10 He_that_is faithful in «that which is least is faithful also in much: and he_that_is unjust in «the least is unjust also in much.

12 Andif ye_-have not been faithful in that_which_is another man’s, who shall_ give you that_which_is your_own?
13 No servant can ?serve two mas- ters: for either he_will_hate the one, and Hove the other; or else he_will. hold_to the one, and despise the other. | ;' Ye cannot serve God and rmammon.”
14 And the Pharisees also, +~who_were Tcoyetous, “heard all these_things: and they_~derided Him.
15 And He-_said unto_them, “He are -1they_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.
