And the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking.

The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king, - who made a marriage-feast for his son;

And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage-feast, - and they would not come.

And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise, -

And, the rest, securing his servants, ill-treated and slew them.

And, the king, was provoked to anger, - and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.

Then, saith he unto his servants - The marriage, indeed, is ready, - but, the invited, were not, worthy;

saying - Teacher! Moses, said, If any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now there were, with us, seven brethren; and, the first, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto his brother.

And, the multitudes, hearing, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.

If then, David, calleth him, Lord, How, is he, his son?

Then, Jesus spake unto the multitudes and unto his disciples,

And, Jesus coming forth, from the temple, was taking his departure, when his disciples came forward to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

And, he that is on the house-top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house;

And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle.

And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen - Out of the four winds, from heavens' bounds, unto their bounds.

But there is, one thing, ye know - That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.

Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master hath appointed over his household, to give them food in season?

Happy! that servant, whom his master, when he cometh, shall find so doing!

Verily, I say unto you - Over all his substance, will he appoint him.
