12In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.G1722G3739G1996G3461G3793G5620G2662G240G756G3004G4314G846G3101G4412G4337G1438G575G2219G5330G3748G2076G5272 2Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.G1161G2076G3762G4780G3739G601G3756G601G2532G2927G3739G1097G3756G1097 3Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.G473G3739G3745G2036G1722G4653G191G1722G5457G2532G3739G2980G4314G3775G1722G5009G2784G1909G1430 4"I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.G1161G3004G5213G3450G5384G5399G3361G5399G575G615G4983G2532G3326G5023G2192G3361G5100G4055G4160 5But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!G1161G5263G5213G5101G5399G5399G3326G615G2192G1849G1685G1519G1067G3483G3004G5213G5399G5126 6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God.G4453G3780G4002G4765G4453G1417G787G2532G3756G1520G1537G846G2076G1950G1799G2316 7Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.G235G2532G2359G5216G2776G705G3956G705G5399G3361G3767G1308G4183G4765 8"And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God,G1161G3004G5213G3956G3739G302G3670G1722G1698G1715G444G1722G846G3670G5207G444G2532G3670G1715G32G2316 9but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.G1161G720G3165G1799G444G533G1799G32G2316 10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.G2532G3956G3739G2046G3056G1519G5207G444G863G846G1161G987G1519G40G4151G863G3756G863 11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say,G1161G3752G4374G5209G1909G4864G2532G746G2532G1849G3309G3361G3309G4459G2228G5101G626G2228G5101G2036 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."G1063G40G4151G1321G5209G1722G846G5610G3739G1163G2036 13Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."G1161G5100G1537G3793G2036G846G1320G2036G3450G80G3307G2817G3326G1700 14But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?"G1161G2036G846G444G5101G2525G3165G1348G2228G3312G1909G5209 15And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."G1161G2036G4314G846G3708G2532G5442G575G4124G3754G5100G846G2222G2076G3756G1722G4052G1537G846G5224 16And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully,G1161G2036G3850G4314G846G3004G5561G5100G4145G444G2164 17and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?'G2532G1260G1722G1438G3004G5101G4160G3754G2192G3756G4226G4863G3450G2590 18And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.G2532G2036G5124G4160G2507G3450G596G2532G3618G3187G2532G1563G4863G3956G3450G1081G2532G3450G18 19And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.'G2532G2046G3450G5590G5590G2192G4183G18G2749G1519G4183G2094G373G5315G4095G2165 20But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'G1161G2316G2036G846G878G5026G3571G4675G5590G523G575G4675G1161G5101G2071G3739G2090 21So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."G3779G2343G1438G2532G4147G3361G4147G1519G2316 22And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.G1161G2036G4314G846G3101G1223G5124G3004G5213G3309G3361G3309G5216G5590G5101G5315G3366G4983G5101G1746 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.G5590G2076G4119G5160G2532G4983G1742 24Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!G2657G2876G3754G3756G4687G3761G2325G3739G3756G2076G5009G3761G596G2532G2316G5142G846G4214G3123G1308G5210G1308G4071 25And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?G1161G5101G1537G5216G3309G1410G4369G1909G846G2244G1520G4083 26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?G1487G3767G1410G3777G1410G1646G5101G3309G4012G3062 27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.G2657G2918G4459G837G2872G3756G3514G3761G1161G3004G5213G4672G1722G3956G846G1391G4016G3761G4016G5613G1520G5130 28But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!G1487G1161G2316G3779G294G5528G5607G4594G1722G68G2532G839G906G1519G2823G4214G3123G5209G3640 29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried.G2532G2212G3361G5210G5101G5315G2228G5101G4095G2532G3361G3349 30For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them.G1063G3956G5023G1934G1484G2889G1934G1161G5216G3962G1492G3754G5535G5130 31Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.G4133G2212G932G2316G2532G3956G5023G4369G5213 32"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.G5399G3361G3398G4168G3754G2106G5216G3962G2106G1325G5213G932 33Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.G4453G5216G5224G2532G1325G1654G4160G1438G905G3822G3361G3822G2344G1722G3772G413G3699G3756G2812G1448G3761G4597G1311 34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.G1063G3699G5216G2344G2076G1563G2071G5216G2588G2071G2532 35"Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning,G2077G5216G3751G2077G4024G2532G3088G2545 36and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.G2532G5210G3664G444G4327G1438G2962G4219G360G1537G1062G2443G2064G2532G2925G455G846G2112 37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.G3107G1565G1401G3739G2962G2064G2147G1127G281G3004G5213G3754G4024G2532G347G846G347G2532G3928G1247G846 38If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!G2532G1437G2064G1722G1208G5438G2532G2064G1722G5154G5438G2532G2147G3779G3107G1526G1565G1401 39But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.G1161G5124G1097G3754G1487G3617G1492G4169G5610G2812G2064G302G1127G2532G302G3756G863G846G3624G1358 40You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."G1096G5210G3767G2092G2532G3754G3739G5207G444G2064G5610G1380G3756 41Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?"G1161G4074G2036G846G2962G3004G5026G3850G4314G2248G2228G2532G4314G3956 42And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?G1161G2962G2036G5101G686G2076G4103G2532G5429G3623G3739G2962G2525G1909G846G2322G1325G4620G1722G2540 43Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.G3107G1565G1401G3739G846G2962G2064G2147G3779G4160 44Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.G230G3004G5213G3754G846G2525G1909G3956G846G5224 45But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,G1161G1437G1565G1401G2036G1722G846G2588G3450G2962G5549G2064G2532G756G5180G3816G2532G3814G5037G2068G2532G4095G2532G3182 46the master of that servant 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 put him with the unfaithful.G2962G1565G1401G2240G1722G2250G3739G4328G3756G4328G2532G1722G5610G3739G1097G3756G1097G2532G1371G846G1371G2532G5087G846G3313G3326G571 47And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating.G1161G1565G1401G3588G1097G1438G2962G2307G2532G2090G3361G3366G4160G4314G846G2307G1194G4183 48But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.G1161G1097G3361G1161G4160G514G4127G1194G3641G1161G3739G3956G4183G1325G3844G846G4183G2212G2532G3739G3908G4183G846G154G4055 49"I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled!G2064G906G4442G1519G1093G2532G5101G2309G1487G381G2235G381 50I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished!G1161G2192G908G907G2532G4459G4912G2193G3739G5055 51Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.G1380G3754G3854G1325G1515G1722G1093G3004G5213G3780G235G2228G1267 52For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three.G1063G575G3568G2071G4002G1722G1520G3624G1266G5140G1909G1417G2532G1417G1909G5140 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."G3962G1266G1909G5207G2532G5207G1909G3962G3384G1909G2364G2532G2364G1909G3384G3994G1909G846G3565G2532G3565G1909G846G3994 54He also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A shower is coming.' And so it happens.G1161G3004G2532G3793G3752G1492G3507G393G575G1424G2112G3004G2064G3655G2532G3779G1096 55And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat,' and it happens.G2532G3752G3558G4154G3004G3754G2071G2742G2532G1096 56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?G5273G1492G1381G4383G3772G2532G1093G1161G4459G3756G1381G5126G2540 57"And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?G1161G5101G2532G575G1438G2919G3756G1342 58As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.G5613G1063G5217G3326G4675G476G1909G758G1722G3598G1325G2039G525G575G846G3379G2694G4571G4314G2923G2532G2923G3860G4571G4233G2532G4233G906G4571G1519G5438 59I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny."G3004G4671G1831G3364G1831G1564G2532G2193G3739G591G2078G3016
