ylt @Luke:12:1 @At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together , so as to tread upon one another , he began to say unto his disciples , first , 'Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees , which is hypocrisy ; ylt @Luke:12:2 @and there is nothing covered , that shall not be revealed ; and hid , that shall not be known ; ylt @Luke:12:3 @because whatever in the darkness ye said , in the light shall be heard : and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers , shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops . ylt @Luke:12:4 @'And I say to you , my friends , be not afraid of those killing the body , and after these things are not having anything over to do ; ylt @Luke:12:5 @but I will show to you , whom ye may fear ; Fear him who , after the killing , is having authority to cast to the gehenna ; yes , I say to you , Fear ye Him . ylt @Luke:12:6 @'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars ? and one of them is not forgotten before God , ylt @Luke:12:7 @but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered ; therefore fear ye not , than many sparrows ye are of more value . ylt @Luke:12:8 @'And I say to you , Every one -- whoever may confess with me before men , the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God , ylt @Luke:12:9 @and he who hath denied me before men , shall be denied before the messengers of God , ylt @Luke:12:10 @and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man , it shall be forgiven to him , but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil , it shall not be forgiven . ylt @Luke:12:11 @'And when they bring you before the synagogues , and the rulers , and the authorities , be not anxious how or what ye may reply , or what ye may say , ylt @Luke:12:12 @for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you ] to say .' ylt @Luke:12:13 @And a certain one said to him , out of the multitude , 'Teacher , say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance .' ylt @Luke:12:14 @And he said to him , 'Man , who set me a judge or a divider over you ?' ylt @Luke:12:15 @And he said unto them , 'Observe , and beware of the covetousness , because not in the abundance of one 's goods is his life .' ylt @Luke:12:16 @And he spake a simile unto them , saying , 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well ; ylt @Luke:12:17 @and he was reasoning within himself , saying , What shall I do , because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits ? ylt @Luke:12:18 @and he said , This I will do , I will take down my storehouses , and greater ones I will build , and I will gather together there all my products and my good things , ylt @Luke:12:19 @and I will say to my soul , Soul , thou hast many good things laid up for many years , be resting , eat , drink , be merry . ylt @Luke:12:20 @'And God said to him , Unthinking one ! this night thy soul they shall require from thee , and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be ? ylt @Luke:12:21 @so [is ] he who is treasuring up to himself , and is not rich toward God .' ylt @Luke:12:22 @And he said unto his disciples , 'Because of this , to you I say , Be not anxious for your life , what ye may eat ; nor for the body , what ye may put on ; ylt @Luke:12:23 @the life is more than the nourishment , and the body than the clothing . ylt @Luke:12:24 @'Consider the ravens , that they sow not , nor reap , to which there is no barn nor storehouse , and God doth nourish them ; how much better are ye than the fowls ? ylt @Luke:12:25 @and who of you , being anxious , is able to add to his age one cubit ? ylt @Luke:12:26 @If , then , ye are not able for the least -- why for the rest are ye anxious ? ylt @Luke:12:27 @'Consider the lilies , how do they grow ? they labour not , nor do they spin , and I say to you , not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these ; ylt @Luke:12:28 @and if the herbage in the field , that to-day is , and to-morrow into an oven is cast , God doth so clothe , how much more you -- ye of little faith ? ylt @Luke:12:29 @'And ye -- seek not what ye may eat , or what ye may drink , and be not in suspense , ylt @Luke:12:30 @for all these things do the nations of the world seek after , and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things ; ylt @Luke:12:31 @but , seek ye the reign of God , and all these things shall be added to you . ylt @Luke:12:32 @'Fear not , little flock , because your Father did delight to give you the reign ; ylt @Luke:12:33 @sell your goods , and give alms , make to yourselves bags that become not old , a treasure unfailing in the heavens , where thief doth not come near , nor moth destroy ; ylt @Luke:12:34 @for where your treasure is , there also your heart will be . ylt @Luke:12:35 @'Let your loins be girded , and the lamps burning , ylt @Luke:12:36 @and ye like to men waiting for their lord , when he shall return out of the wedding feasts , that he having come and knocked , immediately they may open to him . ylt @Luke:12:37 @'Happy those servants , whom the lord , having come , shall find watching ; verily I say to you , that he will gird himself , and will cause them to recline (at meat ), and having come near , will minister to them ; ylt @Luke:12:38 @and if he may come in the second watch , and in the third watch he may come , and may find [it ] so , happy are those servants . ylt @Luke:12:39 @'And this know , that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come , he would have watched , and would not have suffered his house to be broken through ; ylt @Luke:12:40 @and ye , then , become ye ready , because at the hour ye think not , the Son of Man doth come .' ylt @Luke:12:41 @And Peter said to him , 'Sir , unto us this simile dost thou speak , or also unto all ?' ylt @Luke:12:42 @And the Lord said , 'Who , then , is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household , to give in season the wheat measure ? ylt @Luke:12:43 @Happy that servant , whom his lord , having come , shall find doing so ; ylt @Luke:12:44 @truly I say to you , that over all his goods he will set him . ylt @Luke:12:45 @'And if that servant may say in his heart , My lord doth delay to come , and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants , to eat also , and to drink , and to be drunken ; ylt @Luke:12:46 @the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him ], and in an hour that he doth not know , and will cut him off , and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint . ylt @Luke:12:47 @'And that servant , who having known his lord 's will , and not having prepared , nor having gone according to his will , shall be beaten with many stripes , ylt @Luke:12:48 @and he who , not having known , and having done things worthy of stripes , shall be beaten with few ; and to every one to whom much was given , much shall be required from him ; and to whom they did commit much , more abundantly they will ask of him . ylt @Luke:12:49 @'Fire I came to cast to the earth , and what will I if already it was kindled ? ylt @Luke:12:50 @but I have a baptism to be baptized with , and how am I pressed till it may be completed ! ylt @Luke:12:51 @'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth ? no , I say to you , but rather division ; ylt @Luke:12:52 @for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided -- three against two , and two against three ; ylt @Luke:12:53 @a father shall be divided against a son , and a son against a father , a mother against a daughter , and a daughter against a mother , a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law , and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law .' ylt @Luke:12:54 @And he said also to the multitudes , 'When ye may see the cloud rising from the west , immediately ye say , A shower doth come , and it is so ; ylt @Luke:12:55 @and when -- a south wind blowing , ye say , that there will be heat , and it is ; ylt @Luke:12:56 @hypocrites ! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of , but this time -- how do ye not make proof of [it ]? ylt @Luke:12:57 @'And why , also , of yourselves , judge ye not what is righteous ? ylt @Luke:12:58 @for , as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler , in the way give diligence to be released from him , lest he may drag thee unto the judge , and the judge may deliver thee to the officer , and the officer may cast thee into prison ; ylt @Luke:12:59 @I say to thee , thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back .'
