Matthew 26:55 - In that hour Jeshu said to the multitudes, 
As against a robber are you come out, with swords, and with clubs, to seize me ? 
Every day with you in the temple I sat and taught, and you did not apprehend me.

Matthew 26:60 - but they found not (any). 
And many witnesses of falsehood came.

Matthew 26:61 - declaring, 
This said, I can destroy the temple of Aloha, and in three days rebuild it.

Matthew 26:62 - And the chief of the priests arose, and said to him, 
Dost thou return no word ? 
What are these witnessing against thee?

Matthew 26:63 - But Jeshu was silent.

I swear thee, by Aloha the Living, that thou declare to us whether thou be the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha ?

Matthew 26:64 - Jeshu saith to him, 
Thou hast said: 
but I say to you, That hereafter ye shall see him, the Son of man, sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

Matthew 26:65 - Then the chief of the priests tore his robes, and said, 
Behold, he hath blasphemed ! 
what further need have we of witnesses ? 
Behold, now we have heard his blasphemy.

Matthew 26:66 - What will you ? 
They answered saying, 
He deserves death.

Matthew 26:67 - Then did they spit in his face, and smote him; 
and others struck him,

Matthew 26:68 - saying, 
Prophesy to us, Meshicha ! 
Who is he that smiteth thee?

Thou also wast with Jeshu Natsroia.

I know not what thou sayest.

I know not the man.

Assuredly thou art of them; 
for thy speech also makes thee known.

Matthew 26:74 - Then began he to imprecate and to swear, 
I know not the man ! 
And in that hour the cock crowed.


Matthew 26:75 - And Kipha remembered the word of Jeshu, who had said to him, 
That before the cock shall crow, three times wilt thou have denied me. 
And he went without, and wept bitterly.

[Beth-chelulo, domus chori, seu domus nuptiarum.]

Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom which was to be for you from the foundation of the world.

Amen I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me you did it.

Go from me, accursed, into the fire of eternity, which was prepared for the accuser and for his angels.

and I thirsted, but you made me not to drink;

and naked, and you clothed me not; 
and I was sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.

Matthew 25:44 - Then shall they also answer and say, 
Our Lord! 
when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Matthew 25:45 - Then shall he answer and say to them, 
Amen I say unto you, that inasmuch as you did it not unto one of these little ones, you did it not to me.

Matthew 25:46 - And these shall go away into the torment which is eternal, and the just into the life which is eternal.

Gospel Reading Day 18 "Thus will your heavenly Father deal with you"

Matthew 18:1 - IN that hour the disciples came near to Jeshu, saying, 

Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven ?

Matthew 18:2 - And Jeshu called a child, and made him stand in the midst of them,

Matthew 18:3 - and said, 

Amen I say to you, unless you be converted and become as children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:4 - Whosoever therefore humbleth himself as this child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:5 - And whosoever shall receive [such] as [are] like this child in my name, he receiveth me.

Matthew 18:6 - And every one that shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, to him it had been better that the mill-stone of an ass 

[That is, the stone of a mill worked by an ass or mule.] were hung to his neck, and himself plunged into the depths of the sea.

Matthew 18:7 - Woe to the world from causes of offence ! 

for it is unavoidable that causes of offence will come;

Matthew 18:8 - but woe to the man by whom [By whose hand.] the causes of offence shall come! 

If, then, thine hand or thy foot shall be a cause of offence to thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee; 

for it is good for thee that thou enter into life [Lives.] lame or mutilated; 

and not that, having two hands or two feet, thou fall into the fire of eternity.

Matthew 18:9 - And if thine eye be a cause of offence to thee, dig it out, and cast it from thee; 

good (it is) for thee that with one eye thou enter into life; [Lives.] 

and not that, having two eyes, thou fall into the gihâna of fire.

Matthew 18:10 - See that you contemn not one of these little ones: 

for I say unto you that their angels in all time are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 18:11 - For the Son of man is come to save that which had perished.

Matthew 18:12 - How doth it appear to you ? 

if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them shall wander from them, doth he not leave the ninety and nine on the mountain, and, going, seek that which had wandered ?

Matthew 18:13 - And if he shall find it, assuredly I tell you that he rejoiceth in it more than (in) the ninety and nine which wandered not.

Matthew 18:14 - So it is not good [Ad lit., " The will."] before your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Matthew 18:15 - NOW if thy brother offend against thee, go, and argue (the matter) between thyself and him alone; 

and if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

Matthew 18:16 - But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, that upon the mouth of two or three witnesses may be established every word.

Matthew 18:17 - And if, also, he will not hear them, tell the community; 

but if he will neither hear the community, let him be to thee as a publican and as a heathen.

Matthew 18:18 - And, Amen I say unto you, that whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; 

and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 18:19 - Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent on earth concerning every thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 18:20 - For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Matthew 18:21 - Then Kipha came near to him, and said to him, 

My Lord, how many times, if my brother offend me, shall I forgive him; 

until seven times?

Matthew 18:22 - Jeshu said to him, I say not to thee, Until seven, but, Until seventy times seven and seven. 

[Septuaginta vices septem, et septem vices: vel septuagies septies et septies; id est, quatuordecim vicibus septuagies. Vide TREMELLIUM, in loc.]

Matthew 18:23 - THEREFORE is the kingdom of the heavens likened to a royal person [A man a king.] who would take the account from his servants.

Matthew 18:24 - And when he began to receive, they brought to him one who owed a myriad talents.

Matthew 18:25 - And when he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded that they should sell (both) himself, his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and to pay.

Matthew 18:26 - And that servant fell and worshipped him, saying, 

My lord, be patient of spirit toward me, and all things I (will) pay thee.

What went you forth into the waste to see ?

Matthew 11:27 - All things are delivered to me from my Father; 
and no man knoweth the Son but the Father; 
also the Father no man knoweth, except the Son, and he (to) whom the Son pleaseth to reveal (him).

Matthew 11:28 - Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:29 - Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; 
for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.
