[35]Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris, [36] And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis : ut, cum venerit e...

[1]And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos : Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis. [2] For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed:...

[25]At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.

[26] Yea, Father; for so hath i...

[34]But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together: Pharisaei autem audientes quod silentium imposuisset sadducaeis, convenerunt in unum : [35] And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him: et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor, tentans eum : [36] Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?

[27]And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.

[28] But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of...

[13]You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. Vos estis sal terrae. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? ad nihilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittatur foras, et conculcetur ab hominibus. [14] You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Vo...

[34]Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.

[1]And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.

[6]He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

[14]For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods; Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua. [15] And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.

[11]And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.

[9]And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.

[24]No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Nemo potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget : aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonae. [25] Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life,...
