In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
2 yatō yanna prakāśayiṣyatē tadācchannaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti; tathā yanna jñāsyatē tad guptaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti|
For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
3 andhakārē tiṣṭhanatō yāḥ kathā akathayata tāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā dīptau śrōṣyantē nirjanē karṇē ca yadakathayata gr̥hapr̥ṣṭhāt tat pracārayiṣyatē|

6 pañca caṭakapakṣiṇaḥ kiṁ dvābhyāṁ tāmrakhaṇḍābhyāṁ na vikrīyantē? tathāpīśvarastēṣām ēkamapi na vismarati|
Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?

And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.

And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
12 yatō yuṣmābhiryad yad vaktavyaṁ tat tasmin samayaēva pavitra ātmā yuṣmān śikṣayiṣyati|
For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.

And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
20 rē nirbōdha adya rātrau tava prāṇāstvattō nēṣyantē tata ētāni yāni dravyāṇi tvayāsāditāni tāni kasya bhaviṣyanti?
But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?

And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.

The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
24 kākapakṣiṇāṁ kāryyaṁ vicārayata, tē na vapanti śasyāni ca na chindanti, tēṣāṁ bhāṇḍāgārāṇi na santi kōṣāśca na santi, tathāpīśvarastēbhyō bhakṣyāṇi dadāti, yūyaṁ pakṣibhyaḥ śrēṣṭhatarā na kiṁ?
Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?

And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
26 ataēva kṣudraṁ kāryyaṁ sādhayitum asamarthā yūyam anyasmin kāryyē kutō bhāvayatha?

27 anyacca kāmpilapuṣpaṁ kathaṁ varddhatē tadāpi vicārayata, tat kañcana śramaṁ na karōti tantūṁśca na janayati kintu yuṣmabhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi sulēmān bahvaiśvaryyānvitōpi puṣpasyāsya sadr̥śō vibhūṣitō nāsīt|
Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
28 adya kṣētrē varttamānaṁ śvaścūllyāṁ kṣēpsyamānaṁ yat tr̥ṇaṁ, tasmai yadīśvara itthaṁ bhūṣayati tarhi hē alpapratyayinō yuṣmāna kiṁ na paridhāpayiṣyati?
If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?

Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
30 jagatō dēvārccakā ētāni sarvvāṇi cēṣṭanatē; ēṣu vastuṣu yuṣmākaṁ prayōjanamāstē iti yuṣmākaṁ pitā jānāti|
For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
31 ataēvēśvarasya rājyārthaṁ sacēṣṭā bhavata tathā kr̥tē sarvvāṇyētāni dravyāṇi yuṣmabhyaṁ pradāyiṣyantē|
But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
32 hē kṣudramēṣavraja yūyaṁ mā bhaiṣṭa yuṣmabhyaṁ rājyaṁ dātuṁ yuṣmākaṁ pituḥ sammatirasti|
Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.

Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
34 yatō yatra yuṣmākaṁ dhanaṁ varttatē tatrēva yuṣmākaṁ manaḥ|

Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
38 yadi dvitīyē tr̥tīyē vā praharē samāgatya tathaiva paśyati, tarhi taēva dāsā dhanyāḥ|
And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.

And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
43 prabhurāgatya yam ētādr̥śē karmmaṇi pravr̥ttaṁ drakṣyati saēva dāsō dhanyaḥ|
