Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and 34. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one 35. 36. 37. Lu. xviii. 1. 2. 3. 4.

And they answered, and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. SECTION XXXVII. Christ teacheth the true nature of Prayer. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not And there was a widow in that city; and she came And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man ; 5. Yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6. 7. 8. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? SECTION XXXVIII. Parable of the Publican and Pharisee. LUKE Xviii. 9-14. Lu. xviii. 9. And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: A a Lu.xviii.10. 11. 12. 13.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjnst, adulterers, or even as this publican: I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I pos sess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up Mat.xix.16. SECTION XXXIX. From the conduct of the young Ruler, Christ cautions his And MATT. xix. 16. to the end. MARK X. 17-31. Mark x. 17. when he was gone forth, into the way, Mat.xix.16. behold, one came Lu.xviii.18. a certain ruler Mark x. 17. running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Mat, xix.16. and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall 17. 18. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Lu.xviii.20. Thou knowest the commandments, Mat. xix.18. Thou shalt do no murder; thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false wit Mat. xix.19. 20. Honour thy father and thy mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man Mark x. 20. answered, Mat. xix.20. and saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 28 This section resumes the order of St. Matthew and St. Mark, as well as continues that of St. Luke. The event related in it is placed here by Lightfoot, who follows the order of St. Luke; and by Newcome also, who makes the conversation on divorce, and the blessing the children immediately to precede it. Doddridge, Pilkington, and Michaelis, give it also its present place. On a tour. Lu.xviii.22. Now when Jesus heard these things, he Mark x. 21. beholding him, loved him, Mat. xix.21. And Jesus said unto him, Lu.xviii.22. Yet lackest thou one thing: Mark x. 21. go thy way, Mat.xix.21. go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come Mark x. 21. take up the cross, Mat. xix.21. and follow me. Mat. xix.22. But when the young man heard that saying, La. xviii.23. he was very sorrowful : Mat. xix.22. he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. Mat. xix.23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Mark x. 23. How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Mat. xix.23. Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mark x. 24. Mat. xix.24. 25. And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God! And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, Mark x. 26. and they were astonished out of measure among them selves, Mat. xix.25. saying, Who then can be saved? 26. But Jesus Mark x. 27. looking upon them, Mat. xix.26. beheld them, and said unto them, Lu.xviii.27. The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God. Mat. xix.26. With men this is impossible ; Mark x. 27. but not with God: Mat. xix.26. but with God all things are possible. 27. Then answered Peter, Mark x. 28. [and] began to say unto him, Mat. xix.27. Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee: what Mark x. 29. Mat. xix.28. shall we have therefore? And Jesus answered, unto you, that And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say 29 In the new dispensation which I have now begun to esta- Aa Mat.xix.28. the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also On a tour. shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mark x. 29. Verily I say unto you, Mat.xix,29. that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, Mark x. 29. and the Gospel's, Lu.xviii.29. and for the kingdom of God's sake, Mat. xix.29. shall receive an hundred fold, Lu.xviii.30. more, Mark x. 30. now, Lu.xviii.30. in this present time, Mark x. 30. houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come Mat.xix.29. shall inherit everlasting life. 30° But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall MARK X. part of ver. 17. ver. 18. part of ver. 19, 20, 21. ver. 22. 17 -when he was gone forth into the way, there came one 19-Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, -Honour thy father and mother. 20-And he-and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus-and said unto him, One thing thou lackest-sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come-and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23-And Jesus-and saith unto his disciples 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, 27 And Jesus-saith, With men it is impossible-for with 28 thee.

SECTION XL. Parable of the Labourers in the Vineyard. MATT. XX. 1-16. For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny And he went out about the third hour, and saw others way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He 8. So when the evening was come, the lord of the vine- 9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. |
