And when great multitudes were assembled by myriads, so that they trod one upon another, Jesus began to say to his disciples: First of all, beware for yourselves of that leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
For there is nothing hidden, which will not be revealed; nor concealed, that will not be known.

For whatever ye speak in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what in secret chambers, ye whisper in the ear, will be proclaimed on the house-tops.

And one of the assembly said to him: Teacher, tell my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
But Jesus said to him: Man, who established me a judge and distributor over you?

And he said to his disciples: Beware of all avarice, for life consisteth not in abundance of riches.
And he spoke to them a similitude: The land of a certain rich man brought forth produce in abundance.

And he said: This will I do; I will pull down my storehouses, and build them larger; and there will I store up all my corn and my good things:

But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee?
Such is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.

And he said to his disciples: Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for your body, what ye shall put on.
For the life is more important than food, and the body than raiment.

Consider the ravens, which sow not, nor reap, nor have cellars and storehouses; yet God provideth them food. How much more important now are ye, than the birds!
And which of you, by taking pains, can add one cubit to his stature?
And if ye are impotent for that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?

And if God so clothe the herb, which to-day exists in the field, and to-morrow falls into the oven, how much more you, ye little in faith?
And inquire not, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor let your mind wander upon these things.

For all these things the people of the world seek after; and your father knoweth that, for you also, these things are needful.
But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.

Sell your property, and give alms: make for yourselves bags that do not become old, and a treasure that is not transient, in the heavens; where no thief approacheth, and no moth eateth.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning.

Jesus said to him: Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will place over all his domestics, to give them their portion in due time?
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
Verily I say to you: He will place him over all his possessions.

But he that knew not, yet did that which deserved stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, from him will much be required; and to whom much is committed, the more will be required at his hand.
I have come to cast fire on the earth; and I would, that it already burned.
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and I am much pressed until it be accomplished.
Suppose ye, that I have come to produce tranquillity on the earth? I tell you, No: but division.
For from this time, there will be five persons in one house, who will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
