And when great crowds of people had gathered by the thousands, so that they were trampling one another, Y'shua began to say to his disciples: First of all, beware in yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed that will not be known.

For everything you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

But I say to you, my friends: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do.

But I will show you whom you should fear: fear the one who, after he kills, has authority to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I say to you, fear this one.

Are not five sparrows sold for two assarii? And not one of them is forgotten before Elohim.

But as for you, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear, for you are better than many sparrows.

But I say to you that everyone who confesses me before the children of men, the Son of man will also confess him before the messengers of Elohim.

But whoever denies me before the children of men will be denied before the messengers of Elohim.

And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever blasphemes against the Ruach haKodesh, it will not be forgiven him.

But when they bring you to the assemblies before heads and authorities, do not be anxious how you will make defense or what you will say;

for the Ruach haKodesh will teach you in that hour what you ought to say.

And someone from the crowd said to him: Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

But Y'shua said to him: Man, who set me as a judge and divider over you?

And he said to his disciples: Guard yourselves from all greed, because life is not in the abundance of possessions.

And he spoke a parable to them: The land of a certain rich man brought him a large crop.

And he was thinking in himself and said: What will I do, for I have no place where I can gather my crops?

And he said: This I will do: I will tear down my storehouses and build and enlarge them, and there I will gather all my grain and my goods.

And I will say to my soul, My soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; rest, eat, drink, and be merry.

But Elohim said to him, You lacking in mind! This night they will require your soul from you; and these things you have prepared, whose will they be?

Such is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich in Elohim.

And he said to his disciples, Because of this I say to you, Do not be anxious for your soul, what you will eat, nor for your body, what you will wear.

For the soul is more than food, and the body than clothing.

Consider the ravens, that do not sow and do not reap, and have no storehouse or barn, and Elohim feeds them. How much more are you than the birds!

And which of you, by being anxious, can add one cubit to his stature?

And if you cannot do even the least, why are you anxious about the rest?

Look at the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil, and they do not spin. But I say to you that not even Shlemun in all his glory was clothed like one of these.

And if Elohim so clothes the grass that today is in the field and tomorrow falls into the oven, how much more you, little of faith?

And you, do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not let your mind wander on these things.

For all these things the peoples of the world seek; and your Father knows that these things are needed for you also.

But seek the kingdom of Elohim, and all these things will be added to you.

Do not fear, little flock, for your Father desires to give you the kingdom.

Sell your possessions and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not wear out, and a treasure that does not fail in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning.

And be like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that when he comes and knocks they may open to him at once.

Blessed are those servants, those whom their master will come and find awake. Amen, I say to you, that he will gird his loins and make them recline, and will pass and serve them.

And if in the second watch or in the third he comes and finds them so, blessed are those servants.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in which watch the thief was coming, he would have been awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

You also therefore be ready, for in that hour that you do not expect, the Son of man comes.

Shimon Keefa said to him, Our Master, are you saying this parable to us, or also to everyone?

Y'shua said to him, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his service, to give the portion in its time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find doing so.

Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions.

But if that servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming, and begins to beat the servants and the maidservants of his master, and begins to eat and to drink and to get drunk,

the master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in two and assign him his portion with those who are unfaithful.

But the servant who knows his master's will and does not prepare for him according to his will will be beaten with many stripes.

But he who does not know and does what deserves stripes will be beaten with few stripes. For to everyone who is given much, much will be required from him, and to the one to whom they have entrusted much, more will be required at his hand.

I have come to cast fire on the earth, and I desire that it already burned.

And I have an immersion to be immersed with, and I am much pressed until it is accomplished.

Do you suppose that I have come to cast peace on the earth? I say to you, No, but division.

For from now on there will be five persons in one house who will be divided, three against two and two against three.

For a father will be divided against his son, and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter, and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

And he said to the crowds: When you see a cloud rising from the west, at once you say, Rain is coming, and it is so.

And when a south wind blows, you say, It is hot, and it is so.

Hypocrites, you know how to distinguish the face of the earth and of the heavens; but this time, how do you not distinguish it?

And why do you not judge what is right from yourselves?

For when you go with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make a settlement and be released from him, lest he bring you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the collector, and the collector throw you into prison.

And I say to you, you will not come out from there until you pay the last mite.
