12Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first [of all,] "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.G1722G3739G1996G3461G3793G5620G2662G240G756G3004G4314G846G3101G4412G4337G1438G575G2219G5330G3748G2076G5272 2"But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.G1161G2076G3762G4780G3739G601G3756G601G2532G2927G3739G1097G3756G1097 3"Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.G473G3739G3745G2036G1722G4653G191G1722G5457G2532G3739G2980G4314G3775G1722G5009G2784G1909G1430 4"And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.G1161G3004G5213G3450G5384G5399G3361G5399G575G615G4983G2532G3326G5023G2192G3361G5100G4055G4160 5"But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who after He has killed has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!G1161G5263G5213G5101G5399G5399G3326G615G2192G1849G1685G1519G1067G3483G3004G5213G5399G5126 6"Are not five sparrows sold for two cents?

"G1063G40G4151G1321G5209G1722G846G5610G3739G1163G2036 13And someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the [family] inheritance with me."G1161G5100G1537G3793G2036G846G1320G2036G3450G80G3307G2817G3326G1700 14But He said to him, "Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbiter over you?"G1161G2036G846G444G5101G2525G3165G1348G2228G3312G1909G5209 15And He said to them, "Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not [even] when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions."G1161G2036G4314G846G3708G2532G5442G575G4124G3754G5100G846G2222G2076G3756G1722G4052G1537G846G5224 16And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a certain rich man was very productive.G1161G2036G3850G4314G846G3004G5561G5100G4145G444G2164 17"And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?'G2532G1260G1722G1438G3004G5101G4160G3754G2192G3756G4226G4863G3450G2590 18"And he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.G2532G2036G5124G4160G2507G3450G596G2532G3618G3187G2532G1563G4863G3956G3450G1081G2532G3450G18 19'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years [to come;] take your ease, eat, drink [and] be merry."'G2532G2046G3450G5590G5590G2192G4183G18G2749G1519G4183G2094G373G5315G4095G2165 20"But God said to him, 'You fool! This [very] night your soul is required of you; and [now] who will own what you have prepared?'G1161G2316G2036G846G878G5026G3571G4675G5590G523G575G4675G1161G5101G2071G3739G2090 21"So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."G3779G2343G1438G2532G4147G3361G4147G1519G2316 22And He said to His disciples, "For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for [your] life, [as to] what you shall eat; nor for your body, [as to] what you shall put on.G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G1223G5124G3004G5213G3309G3361G3309G5216G5590G5101G5315G3366G4983G5101G1746 23"For life is more than food, and the body than clothing.G5590G2076G4119G5160G2532G4983G1742 24"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; and they have no storeroom nor barn; and [yet] God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!G2657G2876G3754G3756G4687G3761G2325G3739G3756G2076G5009G3761G596G2532G2316G5142G846G4214G3123G1308G5210G1308G4071 25"And which of you by being anxious can add a [single] cubit to his life's span?G1161G5101G1537G5216G3309G1410G4369G1909G846G2244G1520G4083 26"If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why are you anxious about other matters?G1487G3767G1410G3777G1410G1646G5101G3309G4012G3062 27"Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these.G2657G2918G4459G837G2872G3756G3514G3761G1161G3004G5213G4672G1722G3956G846G1391G4016G3761G4016G5613G1520G5130 28"But if God so arrays the grass in the field, which is [alive] today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more [will He clothe] you, O men of little faith!G1487G1161G2316G3779G294G5528G5607G4594G1722G68G2532G839G906G1519G2823G4214G3123G5209G3640 29"And do not seek what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, and do not keep worrying.G2532G2212G3361G5210G5101G5315G2228G5101G4095G2532G3361G3349 30"For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.G1063G3956G5023G1934G1484G2889G1934G1161G5216G3962G1492G3754G5535G5130 31"But seek for His kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.G4133G2212G932G2316G2532G3956G5023G4369G5213 32"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.G5399G3361G3398G4168G3754G2106G5216G3962G2106G1325G5213G932 33"Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves purses which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near, nor moth destroys.G4453G5216G5224G2532G1325G1654G4160G1438G905G3822G3361G3822G2344G1722G3772G413G3699G3756G2812G1448G3761G4597G1311 34"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.G1063G3699G5216G2344G2076G1563G2071G5216G2588G2071G2532 35"Be dressed in readiness, and [keep] your lamps alight.G2077G5216G3751G2077G4024G2532G3088G2545 36"And be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open [the door] to him when he comes and knocks.G2532G5210G3664G444G4327G1438G2962G4219G360G1537G1062G2443G2064G2532G2925G455G846G2112 37"Blessed are those slaves whom the master shall find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself [to serve,] and have them recline [at the table,] and will come up and wait on them.G3107G1565G1401G3739G2962G2064G2147G1127G281G3004G5213G3754G4024G2532G347G846G347G2532G3928G1247G846 38"Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds [them] so, blessed are those [slaves].G2532G1437G2064G1722G1208G5438G2532G2064G1722G5154G5438G2532G2147G3779G3107G1526G1565G1401 39"And be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.G1161G5124G1097G3754G1487G3617G1492G4169G5610G2812G2064G302G1127G2532G302G3756G863G846G3624G1358 40"You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect."G1096G5210G3767G2092G2532G3754G3739G5207G444G2064G5610G1380G3756 41And Peter said, "Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone [else] as well?"G1161G4074G2036G846G2962G3004G5026G3850G4314G2248G2228G2532G4314G3956 42And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?G1161G2962G2036G5101G686G2076G4103G2532G5429G3623G3739G2962G2525G1909G846G2322G1325G4620G1722G2540 43"Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.G3107G1565G1401G3739G846G2962G2064G2147G3779G4160 44"Truly I say to you, that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.G230G3004G5213G3754G846G2525G1909G3956G846G5224 45"But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, [both] men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;G1161G1437G1565G1401G2036G1722G846G2588G3450G2962G5549G2064G2532G756G5180G3816G2532G3814G5037G2068G2532G4095G2532G3182 46the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect [him,] and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.G2962G1565G1401G2240G1722G2250G3739G4328G3756G4328G2532G1722G5610G3739G1097G3756G1097G2532G1371G846G1371G2532G5087G846G3313G3326G571 47"And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, shall receive many lashes,G1161G1565G1401G3588G1097G1438G2962G2307G2532G2090G3361G3366G4160G4314G846G2307G1194G4183 48but the one who did not know [it,] and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. And from everyone who has been given much shall much be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.G1161G1097G3361G1161G4160G514G4127G1194G3641G1161G3739G3956G4183G1325G3844G846G4183G2212G2532G3739G3908G4183G846G154G4055 49"I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!G2064G906G4442G1519G1093G2532G5101G2309G1487G381G2235G381 50"But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!G1161G2192G908G907G2532G4459G4912G2193G3739G5055 51"Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth?

You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?G5273G1492G1381G4383G3772G2532G1093G1161G4459G3756G1381G5126G2540 57"And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?G1161G5101G2532G575G1438G2919G3756G1342 58"For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on [your] way [there] make an effort to settle with him, in order that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the constable, and the constable throw you into prison.G5613G1063G5217G3326G4675G476G1909G758G1722G3598G1325G2039G525G575G846G3379G2694G4571G4314G2923G2532G2923G3860G4571G4233G2532G4233G906G4571G1519G5438 59"I say to you, you shall not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent."G3004G4671G1831G3364G1831G1564G2532G2193G3739G591G2078G3016
