The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ, According to St. Matthew 1285
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness.
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 The young man saith to him: All these I
have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting
to me?
21 Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect,
go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come
follow me.
22 And when the young man had heard this
word, he went away sad: for he had great pos-
sessions.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I
say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say to you: It is easier for
a camel to pass through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom
of heaven.
25 And when they had heard this, the disci-
ples wondered very much, saying: Who then can
be saved?
26 And Jesus beholding, said to them: With
men this is impossible: but with God all things
are possible.
27 Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold
we have left all things, and have followed thee:
what therefore shall we have?
28 And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to
you, that you, who have followed me, in the re-
generation, when the Son of man shall sit on the
seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve
seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath left house, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife,
or children, or lands for my name’s sake, shall
receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life ev-
erlasting.
30 And many that are first, shall be last: and
the last shall be first.Chapter 20
The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder,
who went out early in the morning to hire labour-
ers into his vineyard.
2 And having agreed with the labourers for a
penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And going about the third hour, he saw oth-
ers standing in the market place idle.
4 And he said to them: Go you also into my
vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
5 And they went their way. And again he went
out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did
in like manner.
6 But about the eleventh hour he went out
and found others standing, and he saith to them:
Why stand you here all the day idle?
7 They say to him: Because no man hath hired
us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vine-
yard.
8 And when evening was come, the lord of the
vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers
and pay them their hire, beginning from the last
even to the first.
9 When therefore they were come, that came
about the eleventh hour, they received every
man a penny.
10 But when the first also came, they thought
that they should receive more: and they also
received every man a penny.
11 And receiving it they murmured against
the master of the house,
12 Saying: These last have worked but one
hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that
have borne the burden of the day and the heats.
13 But he answering said to one of them:
