36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; g Mat.25.1, that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37 Blessed h are those servants, whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter q of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day??!!

17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: r and all the people rejoiced for all the gloriouss things that were done by him.

18 Then said he, Unto t what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 19 It is like a grain of mustardseed, which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence for Herod will kill thee.

33 Nevertheless, I must walk today, and to-morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

And when one of them that a Pr.20.18. sut at meat with him heard these

Parable of the great supper. things, he said unto him, Blessed h is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Then said he unto him, A i certain man made a great supper, k and bade many:

17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first m said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have ine 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 have married n a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, o said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets p and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet s there is room.

23 And the lord said unto the seryant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compelt them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 For I say unto you, That none u of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

26 If any man come to me, and hate v not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life w also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 And whosoever a doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 For which of you, intending y to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock hun,
