XXVII.
[1] 1868
Therefore the
kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who would make a [2]
reckoning with his servants. 1869
And when he
began to make it, they brought to him one who [3] owed him ten talents.1870
| 1870 Lit.
badras, an amount variously estimated. | 1871
And because he
had not wherewith to pay, his lord ordered that he should be sold, he,
and his wife, and children, and all that he [4] had, and payment be
made. 1872
So that servant fell
down and worshipped him, and said unto him, My lord, have
patience with me, and I shall pay thee everything. [5] 1873
And the lord of that servant had compassion,
and released him, and forgave him his [6] debt. 1874
And that servant went out, and found one of
his fellow-servants, who owed him [Arabic, p. 104] a hundred
pence;1875
and he took him,
and dealt severely with him, and said [7] unto him, Give me what thou
owest. 1876
So the
fellow-servant fell down at his [8] feet, and besought him, and said,
Grant me respite, and I will pay thee. 1877
And
he would not; but took him, and cast him into prison, till he should
give him his debt. [9] 1878
And when their
fellow-servants saw what happened, it distressed them much; and
[10] they came and told their lord of all that had taken place.
1879
Then his lord called him, and said unto him,
Thou wicked servant, all that debt I forgave thee, because [11]
thou besoughtest me: 1880
was it not then
incumbent on thee also to have mercy on thy [12] fellow-servant, as I
had mercy on thee?1881
| 1881 The interrogative
particle is lacking in the Arabic. | 1882
And his lord became wroth, and delivered [13]
him to the scourgers, till he should pay all that he owed.
1883
So shall my Father which is in heaven do unto
you, if one forgive not his brother his wrong conduct1884
from [14] his heart. 1885
Take heed within1886

yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he [15]
repent, forgive him. 1887
And if he act
wrongly towards thee seven times in a day, and on that day return seven
times unto thee, and say, I repent towards thee; forgive him.
[16] 1888
And if thy brother act wrongly towards thee,
go and reprove him between thee and [17] him alone: if he hear
thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 1889
But
if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, and so1890
at the mouth of two or three every saying
shall [18] be established. 1891
And if he
listen not to these also, tell the congregation;1892
and if he listen not even to the
congregation, let him be unto thee as a publican and a
Gentile.1893

1894
Verily I say unto you, All that ye bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven: [20] and what ye loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven. 1895
I say unto you
also, If two of you agree on earth to ask, everything shall1896
| 1896 Or, to ask
everything, it shall. | be granted them from my Father [21] [Arabic,
p. 105] which is in heaven. 1897
For where two
or three are gathered in my name, there [22] am I amongst them.
1898
Then Cephas drew near to him, and said unto
him, My Lord, how many times, if my brother act wrongly towards me,
should I forgive him? [23] until seven times? 1899
Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven; but, Until seventy [24] times seven, seven.1900

And the servant
that knoweth his lord’s will, and maketh not [25] ready for him
according to his will, shall meet with much punishment; 1902
but he that knoweth not, and doeth something
for which he meriteth punishment, shall meet with slight
punishment. Every one to whom much hath been given, much shall be
asked of him; and he that hath had much committed to him, much shall be
[26] required at his hand. 1903

And I have a baptism to be baptized with, and
greatly am [28] I straitened till it be accomplished. 1906
See that ye despise not1907
| 1907 Or, repeating a
letter, See that ye despise not. | one of these little ones that believe in
me. Verily I say unto you, Their angels at all times see the [29]
face of my Father which is in heaven. 1908
The
Son of man came to save the thing which was lost.
[30] 1909
And after that,
Jesus walked in Galilee; and he did not like to walk in Judæa,
[31] because the Jews sought to kill him. 1910
And there came people who told him of [32]
the Galilæans, those whose blood Pilate had mingled with their
sacrifices. 1911
Jesus answered and
said unto them, Do ye imagine that those Galilæans were sinners
[33] more than all the Galilæans, so that this thing has come upon
them? 1912
Nay. Verily I
say unto you now,1913
| 1913 Borg.
ms. omits now. | that ye shall all
also, if ye repent not, likewise perish. [34] 1914
Or perchance those eighteen on whom the
palace fell in Siloam, and slew them, do ye imagine that they were to
be condemned1915
more than all the
people that dwell [35] [Arabic, p. 106] in Jerusalem? Nay.
1916
Verily I say unto you, If ye do not all
repent, ye shall perish like them.
[36] 1917
And he spake unto
them this parable: A man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard; [37] and he came and
sought fruit thereon, and found none. 1918
So
he said to the husbandman, Lo, three years do I come and seek fruit on
this fig tree, and find [38] none: cut it down; why doth it
render the ground unoccupied? 1919
The husbandman
said unto him, My lord, leave it this year also, that I may dig about
it, and dung [39] it; 1920
then if it bear
fruit—! and if not, then cut it down in the coming year.
[40] 1921
And when Jesus was
teaching on the sabbath day in one of the synagogues, [41] there was
there a woman that had a spirit of disease eighteen years; 1922
and she was [42] bowed down, and could not
straighten herself at all. 1923
And Jesus saw
her, and called [43] her, and said unto her, Woman, be loosed from thy
disease. 1924
And he put his hand
[44] upon her; and immediately she was straightened, and praised
God. 1925
And the
chief1926
of the synagogue answered with anger,
because Jesus had healed on a sabbath, and said unto the multitudes,
There are six days in which work ought to be done; [45] come in them
and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 1927
But Jesus answered and said unto him,
Ye hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath day loose
[46] his ox or his ass from the manger, and go and water it?
1928
Ought not this woman, who is a daughter of
Abraham, and whom the devil1929
hath bound eighteen
years, [47] to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
1930
And when he said this, they were all put to
shame, those standing, who were opposing him:1931
| 1931 cf. Syriac
versions. | and all the people were pleased with
all the wonders that proceeded from his hand.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
