Meanwhile the people had gathered in thousands, so that they trod upon one another, when Jesus, addressing himself to his disciples, began by saying to them: “Be on your guard against the leaven — that is, the hypocrisy — of the Pharisees.

There is nothing, however covered up, which will not be uncovered, nor anything kept secret which will not become known.

Hence all that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear, within closed doors, will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

To you who are my friends I say, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but after that can do no more.

I will show you of whom you should be afraid. Be afraid of him who, after killing you, has the power to fling you into the Pit. Yes, I say, be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)

Are not five sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them has escaped God’s notice.

No, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Every one, I tell you, who shall acknowledge me before his fellow men, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God’s angels;
9 kintu ya. h ka"scinmaanu. saa. naa. m saak. saanmaam asviikaroti tam ii"svarasya duutaanaa. m saak. saad aham asviikari. syaami|
but he, who disowns me before his fellow men, will be altogether disowned before God’s angels.

Every one who shall say anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but for him who slanders the Holy Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

Whenever they take you before the Synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defence will be, or what you will say;

for the Holy Spirit will show you at the moment what you ought to say.”

“Teacher,” a man in the crowd said to Jesus, “tell my brother to share the property with me.”
14 kintu sa tamavadat he manu. sya yuvayo rvicaara. m vibhaaga nca karttu. m maa. m ko niyuktavaan?
But Jesus said to him: “Man, who made me a judge or an arbiter between you?”

And then he added: “Take care to keep yourselves free from every form of covetousness; for even in the height of his prosperity a man’s true Life does not depend on what he has.”
16 pa"scaad d. r.s. taantakathaamutthaapya kathayaamaasa, ekasya dhanino bhuumau bahuuni "sasyaani jaataani|
Then Jesus told them this parable — “There was once a rich man whose land was very fertile;

and he began to ask himself ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?

This is what I will do,’ he said; ‘I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them;

and I will say to myself, Now you have plenty of good things put by for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’
20 re nirbodha adya raatrau tava praa. naastvatto ne. syante tata etaani yaani dravyaa. ni tvayaasaaditaani taani kasya bhavi. syanti?
But God said to the man ‘Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared — who will have it?’
21 ataeva ya. h ka"scid ii"svarasya samiipe dhanasa ncayamak. rtvaa kevala. m svanika. te sa ncaya. m karoti sopi taad. r"sa. h|
So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God.”

And Jesus said to his disciples: “That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about the life here — what you can get to eat; nor yet about your body — what you can get to wear.
23 bhak. syaajjiivana. m bhuu. sa. naacchariira nca "sre. s.tha. m bhavati|
For life is more than food, and the body than its clothes.

Think of the ravens — they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them! And how much more precious are you than birds!
25 apara nca bhaavayitvaa nijaayu. sa. h k. sa. namaatra. m varddhayitu. m "saknoti, etaad. r"so laako yu. smaaka. m madhye kosti?
But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong his life a moment?
26 ataeva k. sudra. m kaaryya. m saadhayitum asamarthaa yuuyam anyasmin kaaryye kuto bhaavayatha?
And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?

Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendour was not robed like one of these.

If, even in the field, God so clothes the grass which is living to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!
29 ataeva ki. m khaadi. syaama. h? ki. m paridhaasyaama. h? etadartha. m maa ce. s.tadhva. m maa sa. mdigdhva nca|
And you — do not be always seeking what you can get to eat or what you can get to drink; and do not waver.

These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.

No, seek his Kingdom, and these things shall be added for you.

So do not be afraid, my little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom.

Sell what belongs to you, and give in charity. Make yourselves purses that will not wear out — an inexhaustible treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes near, or moth works ruin.
34 yato yatra yu. smaaka. m dhana. m varttate tatreva yu. smaaka. m mana. h|
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

Make yourselves ready, with your lamps alight;

and be like men who are waiting for their Master’s return from his wedding, so that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door for him at once.

Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and bid them take their places at table, and will come and wait upon them.
38 yadi dvitiiye t. rtiiye vaa prahare samaagatya tathaiva pa"syati, tarhi taeva daasaa dhanyaa. h|
Whether it is late at night, or in the early morning that he comes, if he finds all as it should be, then happy are they.

This you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.

Do you also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.”

“Master,” said Peter, “are you telling this parable with reference to us or to every one?”

“Who, then,” replied the Master, “is that trustworthy steward, the careful man, who will be placed by his master over his establishment, to give them their rations at the proper time?

Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, shall find doing this.

His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
45 kintu prabhurvilambenaagami. syati, iti vicintya sa daaso yadi tadanyadaasiidaasaan praharttum bhoktu. m paatu. m maditu nca praarabhate,
But should that servant say to himself ‘My master is a long time coming,’ and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,

that servant’s master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.
47 yo daasa. h prabheraaj naa. m j naatvaapi sajjito na ti. s.thati tadaaj naanusaare. na ca kaaryya. m na karoti sonekaan prahaaraan praapsyati;
The servant who knows his master’s wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;

while one who does not know his master’s wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From every one to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
49 aha. m p. rthivyaam anaikyaruupa. m vahni nik. septum aagatosmi, sa ced idaaniimeva prajvalati tatra mama kaa cintaa?
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?

For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.

‘Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law.’”

And to the people Jesus said: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once ‘There is a storm coming,’ and come it does.

And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say ‘It will be burning hot,’ and so it proves.

Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?

When, for instance, you are going with your opponent before a magistrate, on your way to the court do your best to be quit of him; for fear that he should drag you before the judge, then the judge will hand you over to the bailiff of the court, and the bailiff throw you into prison.

You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last farthing.”
