 My dear Sir: — 
 
 I have no typewriter today, and so must be very brief in 
 my sincere thanks for yours of the 27th ult., and the very able 
 paper you sent me reviewing the situation of the Trust cases 
 and their course, &c. Your very kind letter of the 29th ult. 
 came duly, and I am grateful and glad that you think well of 
 my North American Review article. I have to thank you still 
 more for sending your beautiful and most valuable little book, 
 "Christ's Christianity," which Mrs. Edmunds and I have been 
 studying daily with interest and gladness. It is a treasure in 
 the house. I have never seen one like it. 
 
 I will not inflict my very bad handwriting further upon you, 
 save to wish you and yours a joyous Christmas and a Happy 
 New Year. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 George F. Edmunds.

PREFA125? 
 
 The most extensive literature which ever existed 
 has been built up around the name of the Son of 
 Mary, whose mother called his name Jesus, and 
 who is designated in the first verse of the Gospel 
 according to Matthew, as Jesus Christ, the son of 
 David, and in the first verse of the Gospel according 
 to Mark, as Jesus Christ the son of God. He never 
 wrote anything himself, of which any knowledge 
 reached any later age. His message to mankind 
 was spoken only, and was expressed in many sep- 
 arate speeches and sayings. Those sayings and 
 speeches were uttered at many different times and 
 places, to many different persons or groups of per- 
 sons; and they were mingled with many incidental 
 remarks, applicable only to the particular persons 
 to whom they were addressed. It is not known 
 that any of those sayings or any of those speeches 
 was committed to writing by anybody, at or near 
 the times of their respective utterances. But the 
 
iv PRBFACB 
 
 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, have 
 for many centuries been accepted by nearly all the 
 best informed men, as true records of those parts 
 of the message of Jesus, which they respectively 
 purport to present. And no other record of any 
 part of his personal and permanent message to man 
 has ever been generally accepted as genuine, except 
 one beautiful saying which is recorded only in the 
 twentieth chapter of the book of the Acts of the 
 Apostles, and which testifies to the people of every 
 age that "It is more blessed to give than to receive." 
 
 The message of Jesus to mankind, separate from 
 all other statements, has probably never been written 
 or printed in any other book than this. Many other 
 books have been compiled for the purpose of pre- 
 senting to the public such portions of the four 
 Gospels as suited the ideas of the compilers; but 
 very few books have ever been devoted entirely to 
 "what Jesus said;" and those few have included 
 his incidental remarks, confusedly mixed with those 
 sayings and speeches which constitute his message 
 to man. This compilation contains that message 
 and contains nothing else. 
 
 The English version of the Gospels from which 
 this book was compiled is the Revised Version of 
 the nineteenth century, and not that version of the 
 seventeenth century, which was made by the com- 
 mand of James I, King of Great Britain and Ireland. 
 
PREFACE V 
 
 The Revised Version was selected for this purpose, 
 rather than the version of King James, because it 
 more accurately represents the Greek of the most 
 ancient and authentic manuscripts of the Gospels 
 and because accuracy of statement, rather than 
 archaic beauty of language is to be preferred in 
 a book devoted to the sayings and speeches of 
 Jesus. 
 
 This compilation does not contain any statement 
 which is ascribed to Jesus in the last twelve verses 
 of Mark, or in the twelve verses which begin with 
 the last verse of the seventh chapter of John; be- 
 cause both those sets of twelve verses are absent 
 from the most ancient and reliable Greek manu- 
 scripts of Mark and John, and are believed to have 
 been inserted in other manuscripts of those Gospels 
 without any authority, several centuries after those 
 Gospels were written and were generally accepted 
 by the early Christian churches. With those excep- 
 tions, every statement of permanent importance, 
 which is ascribed to Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke 
 or John, is printed in this book in its apparently 
 proper relations to every other statement thus 
 printed. 
 
 Not one of the speeches or parts of speeches or 
 other sayings, which constitute the message of Jesus 
 to mankind, is recorded in all four of the Gospels. 
 Most of them occur in not more than one of those 
 
vi PREFACE 
 
 books, and most of those which occur in two or 
 three are stated with varying degrees of fullness 
 or minor differences of meaning. Each saying or 
 speech which occurs but once is exactly copied into 
 this book, and the corresponding footnote directs 
 the reader to the Gospel, the chapter and the verse 
 from which it was taken. In each case where two 
 or more of the Gospels contain the same speech 
 or saying in exactly the same words, those words 
 are exactly reproduced in this book, and its foot- 
 note contains a reference to each of the passages. 
 In each case where two or more of the Gospels con- 
 tain the same saying or speech with varying details 
 of meaning; all the passages are here blended to- 
 gether in such a way as to incorporate into one 
 paragraph the meanings of them all. In these in- 
 stances also, the footnotes contain references to 
 all of the passages which are thus combined. In 
 each case where two or more of the Gospels cohtain 
 the same saying or speech with varying degrees of 
 fulness; the most comprehensive of the passages 
 is exactly copied in this book, and the footnote 
 reference is to that passage only. In cases where a 
 sentence in a Gospel consists of two or more inde- 
 pendent propositions on as many different subjects, 
 the distribution of its parts under their proper 
 heads in this book made it necessary to omit the 
 conjunction which in the Gospel serves to connect 
 
PREFACE vii 
 
 them together. These and other similar words are 
 also omitted whenever such a word begins a sen- 
 tence in a Gospel if its retention would have a new 
 effect by reason of the new relation of that sentence 
 to other sentences. So, also, the emphatic intro- 
 ductions, "Verily, verily, I say unto you," and the 
 emphatic endings, "He that hath ears to hear, let 
 him hear," are omitted, where their insertion would 
 be misleading by reason of their being connected 
 in this book with language with which they are not 
 connected in the Gospels. These particulars of 
 treatment were all required in order to avoid repe- 
 tition, and to properly adjust the various passages 
 in their proper places. 
 
 The sayings and speeches of Jesus are analyzed 
 and arranged in this book, according to the plain 
 meanings of their respective parts, and without any 
 attempt or even any willingness to cause that 
 analysis and arrangement to represent the theologi- 
 cal opinion of anybody who lived since Jesus died. 
 It was a point of conscience with the compiler to 
 read each sentence and each phrase of Jesus exactly 
 as it is written in the Gospel in which it is recorded, 
 and thereupon to assign that sentence or that phrase 
 to that section of the compilation to which it logi- 
 cally belongs, and to do both branches of this work: 
 without any partiality, as between any denomina- 
 tions of Christians, and without taking any color 
 
viii PRBPACB 
 
 from any scientific, philosopliical or theological 
 opinion of the compiler himself. 
 
 The great literary merits of the sayings and 
 speeches of Jesus are not fully apparent in the 
 four Gospels, because many of his shorter sayings 
 are scattered among many miscellaneous statements 
 of the writers of the Gospels themselves, and be- 
 cause no one of the Gospels contains the whole 
 of any of his longer and more elaborate speeches. 
 For example, Section 1, of Chapter I, of this book 
 is composed of four literary gems collected from 
 four different chapters of two different Gospels into 
 a cluster having a combined Uterary value much 
 greater than the separate literary values of the four 
 passages themselves. For another example, that 
 part of the Sermon on the Mount which relates to 
 God's providence, and which is recorded in the last 
 ten verses of the sixth chapter of Matthew, receives 
 an added literary value by being combined in this 
 book with the different statement of the same dis- 
 course which is recorded in the twelfth chapter of 
 Luke. And, also, for still another example, those 
 portions of the prophecy on Mount Olivet, which 
 are recorded in the twenty-fourth chapter of 
 Matthew, are combined in this book with those other 
 portions of the same prophecy which are recorded 
 in the thirteenth chapter of Mark; and also with 
 those, still other portions of the same prophecy 
 
PRBFACB ix 
 
 which are recorded in the twenty-first chapter of 
 Luke. Thus, those three incomplete reports of 
 the same great prophecy are combined in this book 
 into one sublime and unitary speech. 
 
 The compilation of this book occupied much of 
 my time during five years, though most of my days 
 during those years were devoted to the practice of 
 the law, or to authorship, relevant to the law of 
 the land. And now I present the result of my long 
 and most serious labor to the judgment of all those 
 who wish to learn the real meaning of the Message 
 of Jesus Christ to mankind.

 GOD. 
 
 SECTION I. 
 GOD'S BEING. 
 
 The Lord our God, the Lord is one.' 
 God is a spirit: and they that worship him 
 must worship in spirit and truth." Why 
 callest thou me good? none is good save 
 one, even God.' The Father is greater 
 than L* 
 
 SECTION II. 
 GOD-'S POWER. 
 
 With God all things are possible.^ Be 
 not afraid of them which kill the body, and

 * John, 14: 28. « Matt., 19: 26.

 after that have no more that they can do- — 
 are not able to kill the soul. But I will 
 warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, 
 which after he hath killed hath power to cast 
 into hell — w^hich is able to destroy both body 
 and soul in hell; yea, I say unto you. Fear 
 him.^ 
 
 SECTION III. 
 
 GOD'S KNOWLEDGE. 
 
 God knoweth your hearts; for that which 
 is exalted among men is an abomination in 
 the sight of God.^ Your Father knoweth 
 what things ye have need of, before ye 
 ask him.^ 
 
 SECTION IV. 
 
 GOD'S PROVIDENCE. 
 
 Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall 
 eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your 
 body, what ye shall put on. For the life is 
 more than the food, and the body than the 
 raiment. Behold the birds of the heaven, 
 
 ' Matt., lo: 28 and Luke, 12: 4, 5. 
 i Luke, 16:15. 3 Matt., 6: 8. 
 
GOD. 
 
 that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor 
 gather into barns ; and your heavenly Father 
 feedeth them. Are not ye of much more 
 value than they? And which of you by 
 being anxious can add a cubit unto his stat- 
 ure ? If then ye are not able to do even 
 that which is least, why are ye anxious con- 
 cerning the rest ? And why are ye anxious 
 concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of 
 the field, how they grow; they toil not, 
 neither do they spin : yet I say unto you, 
 that even Solomon in all his glory was not 
 arrayed like one of these. But if God doth 
 so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day 
 is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall 
 he not much more clothe you, O ye of little 
 faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, 
 What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? 
 or. Wherewithal shall we be clothed? neither 
 be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things 
 do the nations of the world seek after: for 
 your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have 
 need of all these things. But seek ye first 
 his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all 
 
4 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 these things shall be added unto you. Be 
 not therefore anxious for the morrow: for 
 the morrow will be anxious for itself. Suf- 
 ficient unto the day is the evil thereof.^ 
 
 Are not two sparrows sold for a far- 
 thing? and not one of them shall fall on the 
 ground without your Father: but the very 
 hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear 
 not therefore; ye are of more value than 
 many sparrows.^ 
 
 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by 
 every word that proceedeth out of the mouth 
 of God.^ He maketh his sun to rise on the 
 evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the 
 just and the unjust.* 
 
 Unto you it is given to know the mys- 
 teries of the kingdom of heaven, but unto 
 them [the multitude] it is not given.^ For 
 whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and 
 he shall have abundance : but whosoever 
 hath not, from him shall be taken away even 
 
 ' Matt., 6: 25-34, and Luke, 12: 22-31.

 that which he hath — even that which he 
 thinketh he hath.^ Unto them that are with- 
 out, all things are done in parables : that see- 
 ing they may see, and not perceive ; and 
 hearing they may hear, and not understand ; 
 lest haply they should turn again, and it 
 should be forgiven them. And unto them is 
 fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, 
 
 By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no 
 wise understand; 
 
 And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no 
 wise perceive : 
 
 For this people's heart is waxed gross. 
 
 And their ears are dull of hearing, 
 
 And their eyes they have closed; 
 
 Lest haply they should perceive with their 
 eyes. 
 
 And hear with their ears. 
 
 And understand with their heart. 
 
 And should turn again. 
 
 And I should heal them. 
 But blessed are your eyes, for they see; 
 and your ears, for they hear. For verily 
 
 ' Matt., 13: 12, and Luke, 8: 18. 
 
6 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 I say unto you, that many prophets and 
 righteous men desired to see the things 
 which ye see, and saw them not; and to 
 hear the things which ye hear, and heard 
 them not.i I thank thee, O Father, Lord of 
 heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these 
 things from the wise and understanding, and 
 didst reveal them unto babes : yea, Father, 
 for so it was well pleasing in thy sight.'' 
 
 (And as he passed by, he saw a man 
 blind from his birth. And his disciples asked 
 him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, 
 or his parents, that he should be born blind.-* 
 Jesus answered,) Neither did this man sin, 
 nor his parents: but that the works of God 
 should be made manifest in him.^ 
 
 My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit 
 on my right hand, and on my left hand, is 
 not mine to give, but it is for them for 
 whom it hath been prepared of my Father.* 
 
 This is the will of him that sent me, that

 of all that which he hath given me I should 
 lose nothing, but should raise it up at the 
 last day.^ 
 
 Thou [Pilate] wouldst have no powei 
 against me, except it were given thee from 
 above: therefore he that delivered me unto 
 thee hath the greater sin.^ 
 
 SECTION V. 
 GOD'S DISCIPLINE. 
 
 That servant, which knew his lord's will, 
 and made not ready, nor did according to 
 his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; 
 but he that knew not, and did things worthy 
 of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. 
 And to whomsoever much is given, of him 
 shall much be required: and to whom they 
 commit much, of him will they ask the more.* 
 
 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, 
 he taketh it away: and every branch that 
 beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may 
 bear more fruit.*

 GOD REVEALED IN JESUS. 
 
 All things have been delivered unto me 
 of my Father: and no one knoweth who 
 the Son is, save the Father; neither doth 
 any know the Father, save the Son, and 
 he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal 
 him.^ If ye had known me, ye would have 
 known my Father also; from henceforth ye 
 know him, and have seen him. He that 
 hath seen me hath seen the Father; the 
 words that I say unto you I speak not from 
 myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth 
 his works. Believe me that I am in the 
 Father, and the Father in me: or else be- 
 lieve me for the very work's sake. The 
 word which ye hear is not mine, but the 
 Father's who sent me.^ He that rejecteth 
 me rejecteth him that sent me.^

 If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: 
 it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom 
 ye say, that he is your God. I know him, 
 and keep his word.^ Now is the Son of 
 man glorified, and God is glorified in him; 
 and God shall glorify him in himself, and 
 straightway shall he glorify him.^

 Before Abraham was, I am." And no 
 man hath ascended into Heaven, but he that 
 descended out of Heaven, even the Son of

 THE CHARACTER OF JESUS. 
 
 I and the Father are one.* Thou hast 
 both seen him, [the Son of God] and he

 it is that speaketh with thee.^ I that speak 
 unto thee am he: [Messiah which is called 
 Christ.]" I am: [the Christ, the Son of the 
 Blessed].^ Who say ye that I am? (And 
 Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art 
 the Christ, the Son of the living God. And 
 Jesus answered and said unto him,) Blessed 
 art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and 
 blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but 
 my Father which is in heaven.* Is it not 
 written in your law, I said, Ye are gods."* 
 If he called them gods, unto whom the word 
 of God came (and the scripture cannot be 
 broken), say ye of him, whom the Father 
 sanctified and sent into the world. Thou 
 blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son 
 of God.-* If I do not the works of my 
 Father, believe me not. But if I do them, 
 though ye believe not me, believe the works: 
 that ye may know and understand that the 
 Father is in me, and I in the Father.^ 
 How say the scribes that the Christ is

 the son of David ? David himself said in 
 the Holy Spirit, in the book of Psalms, 
 
 The Lord said unto my Lord, 
 
 Sit thou on my right hand, 
 
 Till I make thine enemies the footstool 
 of thy feet. 
 David therefore calleth him Lord, and how 
 is he his son ? ^ 
 
 As the Father hath life in himself, even 
 so he gave to the Son also to have life 
 in himself: and he gave him authority to 
 execute judgment, because he is the Son 
 of man.2 The Son can do nothing of him- 
 self, but what he seeth the Father doing: 
 for what things soever he doeth, these the 
 Son also doeth in like manner. For the 
 Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him 
 all things that himself doeth : and greater 
 works than these will he shew him, that 
 ye may marvel.^ All authority hath been 
 given unto me in heaven and on earth.* 
 
 He that believeth on me, believeth not

 on me, but on him that sent me. And he 
 that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent 
 me.^ He that hateth-me hateth my Father 
 also.2 He that honoureth not the Son hon- 
 oureth not the Father which sent him.^ Not 
 that any man hath seen the Father, save he 
 which is from God, he hath seen the Father.* 
 When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then 
 shall ye know that I am he, and that I do noth- 
 ing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I 
 speak these things. And he that sent me is 
 with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do 
 always the things that are pleasing to him.* 
 Which of you convicteth me of sin ? I 
 have not a devil; but I honour my Father. 
 But I seek not mine own glory: there is 
 one that seeketh and judgeth.^ He that 
 speaketh from himself seeketh his own 
 glory: but he that seeketh the glory of 
 him that sent him, the same is true, and 
 no unrighteousness is in him.^

 The works that I do in my Father's name, 
 these bear witness of me.^ 
 
 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is 
 not true. It is another that beareth witness 
 of me; and I know that the witness which 
 he witnesseth of me is true. Ye have sent 
 unto John, and he hath borne witness unto 
 the truth. But the witness which I receive 
 is not from man : howbeit I say these things, 
 that ye may be saved. He was the lamp 
 that burneth and shineth : and ye were will-

 ing to rejoice for a season in his light. But 
 the witness which I have is greater than that 
 of John : for the works which the Father hath 
 given me to accompHsh, the very works that 
 I do, bear witness of me, that the Father 
 hath sent me. And the Father which sent 
 me, he hath borne witness of me.^ Even 
 if I bear witness of myself, my witness is 
 true ; for I know whence I came, and whither 
 I go. Yea and in your law it is written, 
 that the witness of two men is true. I am 
 he that beareth witness of myself, and the 
 Father that sent me beareth witness of me.^ 
 
 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think 
 that in them ye have eternal life ; and these 
 are they which bear witness of me. If ye 
 believed Moses, ye would believe me; for 
 he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his 
 writings, how shall ye believe my words ? ' 
 
 This voice [out of heaven] hath not come 
 for my sake, but for your sakes.*

 I am from him, and he sent me.® 
 
 My teaching is not mine, but his that sent

 him, these speak I unto the world.^ I speak 
 the things which I have seen with my Father.^ 
 
 I am come down from heaven, not to do 
 mine own will, but the will of him that sent 
 me.* I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, 
 I judge: and my judgment is righteous; be- 
 cause I seek not mine own will, but the will 
 of him that sent me.* 
 
 I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of 
 the house of Israel.^ Let the children first 
 be filled: for it is not meet to take the chil- 
 dren's bread and cast it to the dogs.^ 
 
 Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, 
 Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have 
 heard done at Capernaum, do also here in 
 thine own country. But of a truth I say unto 
 you, There were many 'widows in Israel in 
 the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut 
 up three years and six months, when there 
 came a great famine over all the land; and 
 lanto none of them was Elijah sent, but only

 to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a 
 woman that was a widow. And there were 
 many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha 
 the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, 
 but only Naaman the Syrian.^ 
 
 God sent not the Son into the world to 
 judge the world; but that the world should 
 be saved through him.^ If any man hear my 
 sayings, and keep them not, I judge him 
 not: for I came not to judge the world, but 
 to save the world.* 
 
 The Son of man came not to be ministered 
 unto, but to minister, and to give his life a 
 ransom for many.* 
 
 The Son of man came to seek and to save 
 that which was lost.' 
 
 If any man have a hundred sheep, and one 
 of them be gone astray, doth he not leave 
 the ninety and nine, and go unto the moun- 
 tains, and seek that which goeth astray ? 
 And if so be that he find it, verily I say 
 unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than

 over the ninety and nine which h^ve not 
 gone astray. Even so it is not the will of 
 your Father which is in heaven, that one 
 of these little ones should perish,^ 
 
 He that entereth not in by the door into 
 the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some 
 other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 
 But he that entereth in by the door is the 
 shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter 
 openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and 
 he calleth his own sheep by name, and lead- 
 eth them out. When he hath put forth all 
 his own, he goeth before them, and the 
 §heep follow him: for they know his voice. 
 And a stranger will they not follow, but 
 tvill flee from him: for they know not the 
 voice of strangers. I am the door of the 
 sheep. All that came before me are thieves 
 and robbers: but the sheep did not hear 
 them. I am the door: by me if any man 
 enter in, he shall he saved, and shall go in 
 and go out, and shall find pasture. The 
 thief Cometh not, but that he may steal,

 and kill, and destroy: I camfe that they may 
 have life, and may have it abundantl)'. I 
 am the good shepherd: the good shepherd 
 layeth down his life for the sheep. He that 
 is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own 
 the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf com- 
 ing, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and 
 the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them: 
 he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth 
 not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; 
 and I know mine own, and mine own know 
 me, even as the Father knoweth me, and I 
 know the Father; and I lay down my life 
 for the sheep. And other sheep I have, 
 which are not of this fold: them also I must 
 bring, and they shall hear my voice; and 
 they shall become one flock, one shepherd; 
 Therefore doth the Father love me, because 
 I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 
 No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it 
 down of myself. I have power to lay it down, 
 and I have power to take it again. This com- 
 mandment received I from my Father.^

 I am not come to call the righteous but 
 sinners to repentance.^ 
 
 The Son of man hath power on earth to 
 forgive sins.^ 
 
 To this end have I been born, and to 
 this end am I come into the world, that I 
 should bear witness unto the truth.* All 
 things that I heard from my Father I have 
 made known unto you.* We speak that we 
 do know, and bear witness of that we have 
 seen,5 I am come a light into the world, 
 that whosoever belie veth on me may not

 A certain man had a fig tree planted in 
 his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit 
 thereon, and found none. And he said 
 imto the vine-dresser, Behold, these three

 also cumber the ground? And he answer-

 if not, thou shalt cut it down.^ 
 
 Think not that I came to send peace on 
 the .earth: I came not to send peace, but a 
 sword. For I came to set a man at variance 
 against his father, and the daughter against 
 her mother, and the daughter in law against 
 her mother in law : and a man's foes shall 
 be they of his own household.* I came to 
 cast fire upon the earth; and what will I, 
 if it be already kindled? But I have a bap- 
 tism to be baptized with; and how am I- 
 straitened till it be accomplished! Think ye 
 that I am come to give peace in the earth? 
 I tell you, Nay; but rather division.' 
 
 For judgment came I into this world, that 
 they which see not may see ; and that they 
 which see may become blind.* I judge no 
 man. Yea and if I judge, my judgment is 
 true; for I am not alone, but I and the 
 Father that sent me.^

 Father, the hour has come; glorify thy

 that whatsoever thou hast given him, to 
 them he should give eternal life. And this 
 is life eternal, that they should know thee 
 the only true God, and him whom thou didst

 which thou hast given me to do. I raanir

 gavest me out of the world : thine they were, 
 and thou gavest them to me ; and they have 
 kept thy word. Now they know that all 
 things whatsoever thou hast given me are

 I am no more in the world, and these are in

 guarded them, and not one of them perished, 
 but the son of perdition ; that the scripture 
 might be fulfilled. But now I come to thee ; 
 and these things I speak in the world, that 
 they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 
 I have given them thy word; and the world 
 hated them, because they are not of the 
 world, even as I am not of the world. I

 also that believe on me through their word ; 
 that they may all be one; even as thou. 
 Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they 
 also may be in us: that the world may be- 
 lieve that thou didst send me. And the 
 glory which thou hast given me I have given 
 unto them; that they may be one, even as 
 we are one ; I in them, and thou in me, that 
 they may be perfected into one; that the 
 world may know that thou didst send me, 
 and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. 
 Father, that which thou hast given me, I 
 will that, where I am, they also may be with 
 me; that they may behold my glory, which 
 thou hast given me : for thou lovedst me 
 before the foundation of the world. O right-

 I knew thee : and these knew that thou didst

 cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy 
 will be done.* 
 
 Thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my 
 Father, and he shall even now send me 
 more than twelve legions of angels? How

 I will pray the Father, and he shall give

 you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom 
 the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth 
 him not, neither knoweth him: ye know 
 him; for he abideth with you, and shall be 
 in you. But the Comforter, even the Holy 
 Spirit, whom the Father will send in my 
 name, he shall teach you all things, and 
 bring to your remembrance all that I said 
 unto you.^ When the Comforter is come, 
 whom I will send unto you from the Father, 
 even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth 
 from the Father, he shall bear witness of 
 me.* I tell you the truth; It is expedient

34 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 for you that I go away: for if I go not 
 away, the Comforter will not come unto you; 
 but if I go, I will send him unto you. And 
 he, when he is come, will convict the world 
 in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and 
 of judgement: of sin, because they believe 
 not on me; of righteousness, because I go 
 to the Father, and ye behold me no more; 
 of judgement, because the prince of this world 
 hath been judged. I have yet many things 
 to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them 
 now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, 
 is come, he shcill guide you into all the 
 truth: for he shall not speak from himself; 
 but what things soever he shall hear, these 
 shall he speak: and he shall declare unto 
 you the things that are to come. He shall 
 glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and 
 shall declare it unto you. All things what- 
 soever the Father hath are mine: therefore 
 said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall' 
 declare it unto you.^

 thereof.^ 
 
 How can Satan cast out Satan ? If Satan 
 hath risen up against himself, and is divided, 
 he cannot stand, but hath an end.' And if 
 I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom 
 do your sons cast them out ? therefore shall 
 they be your judges. But if I by the Spirit 
 of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom 
 of God come upon you.* When the strong

 man fully armed guardeth his own court, 
 his goods are in peace: but when a stronger 
 than he shall come upon him, and over- 
 come him, he taketh from him his whole 
 armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his 
 spoils.^ 
 
 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone 
 out of the man, passeth through waterless 
 places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. 
 Then he saith, I will return into my house 
 whence I came out; and when he is come, 
 he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 
 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven 
 other spirits more evil than himself, and they 
 enter in and dwell there : and the last state 
 of that man becometh worse than the first. 
 Even so shall it be also unto this evil 
 generation.^

 blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but 
 the blaspheming against the Spirit shall not 
 be forgiven. And whosoever shall speak a 
 word against the Son of man, it shall be 
 forgiven him ; but whosoever shall blaspheme 
 against the Holy Spirit, is guilty of an eternal 
 sin : it shall not be forgiven him, neither in 
 this world, nor in that which is to come.*

 it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day/' 
 Doth not each of you on the sabbath loose 
 his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him 
 away to watering? And ought not this

 Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, 
 to have been loosed from this bond on the 
 day of the sabbath ? * 
 
 Have ye not read what David did, when 
 he was an hungered, and they that were

 it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for 
 them that were with him, but only for the 
 priests ? Or have ye not read in the law, 
 how that on the sabbath day the priests in 
 the temple profane the sabbath, and are 
 guiltless ? But I say unto you, that one 
 greater than the temple is here. But if ye 
 had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy,

 receive this saying, but they to whom it is

 SECTION III. 
 THE CHRISTIAN CODE. 
 
 A new commandment I give unto you, 
 that ye love one another; even as I have 
 loved you, that ye also love one another. 
 By this shall all men know that ye are my 
 disciples, if ye have love one to another.^ 
 Love your enemies, do good to them that 
 hate you, bless them that curse you, pray 
 for them that despitefuUy use you, and for 
 them that persecute you ; that ye may be 
 sons of your Father which is in heaven. 
 For if ye love them that love you, what 
 reward have ye? for even sinners love those 
 that love them. And if ye salute your breth- 
 ren only, what do ye more than others? do 
 not even the Gentiles the same? And if 
 ye do good to them that do good to you, 
 what thank have ye? for even sinners do 
 the same. And if ye lend to them of whom 
 ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? 
 
 > John, 13: 34. 3S- 
 
44 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 even sinners lend to sinners, to receive 
 again as much. But love your enemies, 
 and do them good, and lend, never de- 
 spairing; and your reward shall be great, 
 and ye shall be sons of the Most High: 
 for he is kind toward the unthankful and 
 evil. Be ye merciful, even as your Father 
 is merciful. Ye therefore shall be perfect, 
 as your heavenly Father is perfect.^ 
 
 As ye would that men should do to you, 
 do ye also to them likewise.^ All things 
 whatsoever ye would that men should do 
 unto you, even so do ye also unto them: 
 for this is the law and the prophets.' 
 
 Resist not him that is evil : but whosoever 
 smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him 
 the other also. And if any man would go 
 to law with thee, and take away thy coat, 
 let him have thy cloke also. And whoso- 
 ever shall compel thee to go one mile, go 
 with him twain. Give to every one that 
 asketh thee; and of him that taketh s.way

 thy goods ask them not again; and from 
 him that would borrow of thee turn not 
 thou away.^ Render unto Caesar the things 
 that are Caesar's; and unto God the things 
 that are God's.^ 
 
 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For 
 with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be 
 judged : and with what measure ye mete, 
 it shall be measured unto you. And why 
 beholdest thou the mote that is in thy 
 brother's eye, but considerest not the beam 
 that is in thine own eye? Or how canst 
 thou say to thy brother. Brother, let me 
 cast out the mote that is in thine eye, 
 when thou thyself beholdest not the beam 
 that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, 
 cast out first the beam out of thine own 
 eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast 
 out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.^

 and condemn not, and ye shall not be con-

 demned: release, and ye shall be released: 
 give, and it shall be given unto you; good 
 measure, pressed down, shaken together, run- 
 ning over, shall they give into your bosom. 
 For with what measure ye mete it shall be 
 measured unto you : and more shall be given 
 unto you.i Judge not according to appear- 
 ance, but judge righteous judgement.^ 
 
 If thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he 
 repent, forgive him. And if he sin against 
 thee seven times in the day, and seven times 
 turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou 
 shalt forgive him.' (Peter said to him, Lord, 
 how oft shall my brother sin against me, 
 and I forgive him ? until seven times ? Jesus 
 saith unto him,) I say not unto thee. Until 
 seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.* 
 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive* 
 if ye have aught against any one. For if 
 ye forgive men their trespasses, your heav- 
 enly Father will also forgive you. But if

 ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither 
 will your Father forgive your trespasses;^ 
 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened 
 unto a certain king, which would make a 
 reckoning with his servants. And when he 
 had begun to reckon, one was brought unto 
 him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 
 But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to 
 pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, 
 and his wife, and children, and all that he 
 had, and payment to be made. The ser- 
 vant therefore fell down and worshipped 
 him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, 
 and I will pay thee all. And the lord of 
 that servant, being moved with compassion, 
 released him, and forgave him the debt. But 
 that servant went out, and found one of his 
 fellow servants, which owed him a hundred 
 pence: and he laid hold on him, and took 
 him by the throat, saying. Pay what thou 
 owest. So his fellow servant fell down and 
 besought him, saying. Have patience with 
 me, and I will pay thee. And he would

 not: but went and cast him into prison, till 
 he should pay that which was due. So 
 when his fellow servants saw what was done, 
 they were exceeding sorry, and came and 
 told unto their lord all that was done. Then 
 his lord called him unto him, and saith to 
 him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee 
 all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: 
 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on 
 thy fellow servant, even as I had mercy 
 on thee ? And his lord was wroth, and 
 delivered him to the tormentors, till he 
 should pay all that was due. So shall also 
 my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye for- 
 give not every one his brother from your 
 hearts.^ 
 
 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, 
 shew him his fault between thee and him 
 alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy 
 brother. But if he hear thee not, take with 
 thee one or two more, that at the mouth 
 of two witnesses or three every word may 
 be established. And if he refuse to hear 
 
 ' Matt, i8: 23-35. 
 
COMMANDMENTS. 49 
 
 them, tell it unto the church: and if he re- 
 fuse to hear the church also, let him be 
 unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.^ 
 
 Every one who is angry with his brother 
 shall be in danger of the judgement; and 
 whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, 
 shall be in danger of the council; and who- 
 soever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in 
 danger of the hell of fire. If therefore thou 
 art offering thy gift at the altar, and there 
 rememberest that thy brother hath aught 
 against thee, leave there thy gift before the 
 altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled 
 to thy brother, and then come and offer 
 thy gift.2 
 
 Sell that ye have, and give alms; make 
 for yourselves purses which wax not old, 
 a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, 
 where no thief draweth near, neither moth 
 destroyeth.* 
 
 A certain man was going down from Je- 
 rusalem to Jericho; and he fell among rob-

 bers, which both stripped him and beat him, 
 and departed, leaving him half dead. And 
 by chance a certain priest was going down 
 that way: and when he saw him, he passed 
 by on the other side. And in like manner 
 a Levite also, when he came to the place, 
 and saw him, passed by on the other? side. 
 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, 
 came where he was: and when he saw him, 
 he was moved with compassion, and came 
 to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring 
 on them oil and wine; and he set him on 
 his own beast, and brought him to an inn, 
 and took care of him. And on the mor- 
 row he took out two pence, and gave them 
 to the host, and said, Take care of him; 
 and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when 
 I come back again, will repay thee. Which 
 of these three, thinkest thou, proved neigh- 
 bour unto him that fell among the robbers ? 
 (And he said, He that shewed mercy on 
 him.) And Jesus said unto him, Go, and 
 do thou likewise.^

 When thou makest a dinner or a supper, 
 call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor 
 thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbours; lest haply 
 they also bid thee again, and a recompense 
 be made thee. But when thou makest a 
 feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, 
 the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; be- 
 cause they have not wherewith to recom- 
 pense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed 
 in the resurrection of the just.^ 
 
 Take heed that ye do not your righteous- 
 ness before men, to be seen of them : else 
 ye have no reward with your Father which 
 is in heaven. When therefore thou doest 
 alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as 
 the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in 
 the streets, that they may have glory of 
 men. Verily I say unto you. They have re- 
 ceived their reward. But when thou doest 
 alms, let not thy left hand know what thy 
 right hand doeth: that thine alms may be 
 in secret : and thy father which seeth in 
 secret shall recompense thee."''

52 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 The rulers of the Gentiles have lordship 
 over them; and their great ones exercise 
 authority over them : and they that have 
 authority over them are called Benefactors. 
 Not so shall it be among you: but he that 
 is the greater among you, let him become 
 as the younger; and he that is chief, as he 
 that doth serve. Whosoever would become 
 great among you shall be your minister ; and 
 whosoever would be first among you shall 
 be last of all, and minister of all : even as 
 the Son of man came not to be ministered 
 unto, but to minister, and to give his life a 
 ransom for many.^ Be not ye called Rabbi : 
 for one is your teacher, and all ye are breth- 
 ren. And call no man your father on the 
 earth: for one is your Father, which is in 
 heaven. Neither be ye called masters : for 
 one is your master, even the Christ. But 
 he that is greatest among you shall be your 
 servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself 
 shall be humbled ; and whosoever shall

 humble himself shall be exalted.^ When 
 thou art bidden of any man to a marriage 
 feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest 
 haply a more honourable man than thou be 
 bidden of him, and he that bade thee and 
 him shall come and say to thee. Give this 
 man place; and then thou shalt begin with 
 shame to take the lowest place. But when 
 thou art bidden, go and sit down in the 
 lowest place ; that when he that hath bidden 
 thee cometh, he may say to thee. Friend, go 
 up higher: then shalt thou have glory in 
 the presence of all that sit at meat with 
 thee.2 Ye call me. Master, and Lord: and 
 ye say well: for so I am. If I then, the 
 Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, 
 ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 
 For I have given you an example, that ye 
 also should do as I have done to you. If 
 ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye 
 do them.* A disciple is not above his mas- 
 ter, nor a servant above his lord ; neither one

 that is sent greater than he that sent him. 
 It is enough for the disciple that he be as 
 his master, and the servant as his lord; 
 Every one when he is perfected shall be as 
 his master.^ 
 
 Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, 
 which is hypocrisy; and of the leaven of 
 the Sadducees, and the leaven of Herod.^ 
 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk 
 in long robes, and love salutations in the 
 market-places, and chief seats in the syna- 
 gogues, and chief places at feasts; which 
 devour widows' houses, and for a pretence 
 make long prayers : these shall receive 
 greater condemnation.^ 
 
 And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the 
 hypocrites : for they love to stand and pray 
 in the synagogues and in the corners of the 
 streets, that they may be seen of men.

 their reward. But thou, when thou prayest,

 secret shall recompense thee. And in pray-

 do: for they think that they shall be heard 
 for their much speaking. Be not therefore 
 like unto them.' 
 
 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the 
 hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they 
 disfigure their faces, that they may be seen 
 of men to fast. Verily I say unto you. They 
 have received their reward. But thou, when 
 thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy 
 face ; that thou be not seen of men to fast, 
 but of thy Father, which is in secret: and 
 thy Father which seeth in secret, shall rec- 
 ompense thee.^ Be at peace one with an-

 COMMENTS ON LAW AND SIN. 
 
 Think not that I came to destroy the law 
 or the prophets : I came not to destroy, but 
 to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till 
 heaven and earth pass away, one jot or 
 one tittle shall in no wise pass away from 
 the law, till all things be accomplished. 
 Whosoever therefore shall break one of 
 these least commandments, and shall teach 
 men so, shall be called least in the kingdom 
 of heaven : but whosoever shall do and teach 
 them, he shall be called great in the king- 
 dom of heaven.^ It is easier for heaven and

 earth to pass away than for one tittle of the 
 law to fall.^ 
 
 Moses for your hardness of heart suffered 
 you to put away your wives : but from the 
 beginning it hath not been so.^ 
 
 From out of the heart come forth evil 
 thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, la- 
 civiousness, thefts, false witness, deceit, covet- 
 ings, railings, pride, foolishness, wickedness, 
 an evil eye : all these evil things proceed 
 from within, and defile the man.^ 
 
 Woe unto the world, because of occasions 
 of stumbling! for it must needs be that the 
 occasions come; but woe to that man, through 
 whom the occasion cometh!* Whoso shall 
 cause one of these little ones which believe 
 on me to stumble, it is profitable for him 
 that a great mill stone should be hanged 
 about his neck, and that he should be sunk 
 in the depth of the sea.^

 Father. But this cometh to pass, that the 
 word may be fulfilled that is written in their 
 law, They hated me without a cause.^ If 
 ye were blind, ye would have no sin : but 
 now ye say. We see : your sin remaineth.^

 SECTION I. 
 ITS BEGINNING. 
 
 The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of 
 God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in 
 the gospel.^ 
 
 The law and the prophets were until John : 
 from that time the gospel of the kingdom 
 of God is preached ; and every man entereth 
 violently into it.^ This is he, of whom it is 
 written, 
 
 Behold, I send my messenger before thy 
 face. 
 
 Who shall prepare thy way before thee. 
 Among them that are born of women there 
 
 I Mark, i: 15. ' Luke, 16: 16.

 hath not arisen a greater than John the 
 Baptist : yet he that is but little in the 
 kingdom of God is greater than he.^ And 
 from the days of John the Baptist until now 
 the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, 
 and men of violence take it by force. For 
 all the prophets and the law prophesied un- 
 til John. And if ye are willing to receive 
 it, this is Elijah, which is to come.^ Elijah 
 indeed cometh, and shall restore all things: 
 but I say unto you, that Elijah is come al- 
 ready, and they knew him not, but did unto 
 him whatsoever they listed. Even so shall 
 the Son of man also suffer of them.^ 
 
 Salvation is from the Jews. But the hour 
 cometh, and now is, when the true wor- 
 shippers shall worship the Father in spirit 
 and truth: for such doth the Father seek 
 to be his worshippers.*

 ITS PREACHING. 
 
 There is nothing covered, that shall not 
 be revealed; and hid, that shall not be 
 known: neither was anything made secret, 
 but that it should come to light. What I 
 tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the 
 light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim 
 upon the housetops. Whatsoever ye have 
 said in the darkness shall be heard in the 
 light; and what ye have spoken in the ear 
 in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed 
 upon the housetops.^ 
 
 Thus it is written, that the Christ should

 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
 grain of mustard seed, which a man took,- 
 and sowed in his field: which indeed is less- 
 than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is- 
 greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, 
 so that the birds of the heaven come and 
 lodge in the branches thereof. 
 
 The kingdom of heaven is like unto 
 leaven, which a woman took, and hid in. 
 three measures of meal, till it was all 
 leavened,^ 
 
 So is the kingdom of God, as if a man 
 should cast seed upon the earth; and should 
 sleep and rise night and day, and the seed 
 should spring up and grow, he knoweth not 
 how. The earth beareth fruit of herself; 
 first the blade, then the ear, then the full 
 corn in the ear. But when the fruit is ripe,

 Straightway he putteth forth the sickle, be- 
 cause the harvest is come.^ 
 
 Behold, the sower went forth to sow his 
 seed: and it came to pass, as he sowed, 
 some seed fell by the wayside, and it Wcis 
 trodden under foot, and the birds of the heav- 
 en came and devoured it. And other fell 
 on the rocky ground, where it had not much 
 earth; and straightway it sprang up, because 
 it had no deepness of earth: and when the 
 sun was risen it was scorched; and because 
 it had no root, and no moisture, it withered 
 away. And other fell among the thorns, 
 and the thorns grew up with it, and choked 
 it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell 
 into the good ground, and grew, and yielded 
 fruit, and increasing, brought forth, some 
 thirtyfold, and some sixtyfold, and some a 
 hundredfold.^ 
 
 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. 
 The parable is this: The seed is the word of 
 God. The sower soweth the word. When

 any one heareth the word of the kingdom, 
 and understandeth it not, then cometh the 
 evil one, Satan, the devil, and snatcheth 
 away that which hath been sown in his 
 heart, that he may not believe and be saved. 
 This is he that was sown by the wayside. 
 And he that was sown upon the rocky 
 places, this is he that heareth the word, 
 and straightway with joy receiveth it, yet 
 hath not root in himself, but endureth for 
 a while — a while believeth, and when tribu- 
 lation or persecution ariseth because of the 
 word, straightway he stumbleth; and in time 
 of temptation falleth away. And he that 
 was sown among thorns, this is he that 
 heareth the word; and the cares of the 
 world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and 
 pleasures of this life, and the lusts of other 
 things, entering in, choke the word, and it 
 becometh unfruitful, and he becometh un- 
 fruitful — bringeth no fruit to perfection. 
 And he that was sown upon the good 
 ground, this is he that heareth the word, 
 and understandeth it; and accepteth it, and

 A certain man had two sons : and the 
 younger of them said to his father, Father, 
 give me the portion of thy substance that 
 falleth to me. And he divided unto them 
 his living. And not many days after the 
 younger son gathered all together, and took 
 his journey into a far country ; and there he 
 wasted his substance with riotous living. 
 And when he had spent all, there arose a 
 mighty famine in that country ; and he began 
 to be in want. And he went and joined 
 himself to one of the citizens of that country ; 
 and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 
 And he would fain have been filled with the

 gave unto him. But when he came to him- 
 self he said, How many hired servants of 
 my father's have bread enough and to spare, 
 and I perish here with hunger! I will arise 
 and go to my father, and say unto him. 
 Father, I have sinned against heaven, and 
 in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be 
 called thy son : make me as one of thy hired 
 servants. And he arose, and came to his 
 father. But while he was yet afar off, his 
 father saw him, and was moved with com- 
 passion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and 
 kissed him. And the son said unto him. 
 Father, I have sinned against heaven, and 
 in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be 
 called thy son. But the father said to his 
 servants. Bring forth quickly the best robe, 
 and put it on him; and put a ring on his 
 hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring the 
 fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and 
 make merry : for this my son was dead, and 
 is alive again ; he was lost, and is found. 
 And they began to be merry. Now his

 elder son was in the field: and as he came 
 and drew nigh to the house, he heard music

 the servants, and inquired what these things 
 might be. And he said unto him, Thy 
 brother is come ; and thy father hath killed 
 the fatted calf, because he hath received him 
 safe and sound. But he was angry, and 
 would not go in : and his father came out, 
 and entreated him. But he answered and 
 said to his father, Lo, these many years do 
 I serve thee, and I never transgressed a com- 
 mandment of thine: and yet thou never 
 gavest me a kid, that I might make merry 
 with my friends: but when this thy son 
 came, which hath devoured thy living with 
 harlots, thou killest for him the fatted calf. 
 And he said unto him. Son, thou art ever 
 with me, and all that is mine is thine. But 
 it was meet to make merry and be glad : for 
 this thy brother was dead, and is alive again ; 
 and was lost, and is found.^

 Two men went up into the temple to 
 pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a 
 publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed 
 thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that 
 I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, 
 unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 
 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of 
 all that I get. But the publican, standing 
 afar off, would not lift up so much as his 
 eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, say- 
 ing, God, be merciful to me a sinner. I say 
 unto you, This man went down to his house 
 justified rather than the other.^ 
 
 The harvest truly is plenteous, but the 
 labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the 
 Lord of the harvest, that he send forth 
 labourers into his harvest.^ 
 
 A man had two sons : and he came to 
 the first, and said. Son, go work to-day in 
 the vineyard. And he answered and said, 
 I will not : but afterward he repented him- 
 self, and went. And he came to the sec- 
 ond, and he said likewise. And he answered 
 
 • Luke, 18: 10-14. ' Matt., 9: 37, 38.

 and said, I go, sir : and went not. Whether 
 of the twain did the will of his father?^ 
 
 It is as when a man, going into another 
 country, called his own servants, and de- 
 livered unto them his goods. And unto 
 one he gave five talents, to another two, 
 to another one; to each according to his 
 several ability; and he went on his journey. 
 Straightway he that received the five talents 
 went and traded with them, and made other 
 five talents. In like manner he also that re- 
 ceived the two gained other two. But he 
 that received the one went away and digged 
 in the earth, and hid his lord's money. Now 
 after a long time the lord of those servants 
 cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. 
 And he that received the five talents came 
 and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, 
 thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, 
 I have gained other five talents. His lord 
 said unto him. Well done, good and faith- 
 ful servant : thou hast been faithful over a 
 few things, I will set thee over many things :

 enter thou into the joy of thy lord. And 
 he also that received the two talents came 
 and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me 
 two talents : lo, I have gained other two 
 talents. His lord said unto him, Well done, 
 good and faithful servant; thou hast been 
 faithful over a few things, I will set thee 
 over many things: enter thou into the joy 
 of thy lord. And he also that had received 
 the one talent came and said. Lord, I knew 
 thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where 
 thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou 
 didst not scatter : and I was afraid, and went 
 away and hid thy talent in the earth : lo, 
 thou hast thine own. But his lord answered 
 and said unto him, Thou wicked and sloth- 
 ful servant, thou knewest that I reap where 
 I sowed not, and gather where I did not 
 scatter; thou oughtest therefore to have 
 put my money to the bankers, and at my 
 coming I should have received back mine 
 own with interest. Take ye away therefore 
 the talent from him, and give it unto him 
 that hath the ten talents. For unto every one

 abundance: but from him that hath not, 
 even that which he hath shall be taken 
 away. And cast ye out the unprofitable 
 servant into the outer darkness : there shall

 A certain nobleman went into a far coun- 
 try, to receive for himself a kingdom, and 
 to return. And he called ten servants of 
 his, and gave them ten pounds, and said 
 unto them. Trade ye herewith till I come. 
 But his citizens hated him, and sent an am- 
 bassage after him, saying, We will not that 
 this man reign over us. And it came to 
 pass, when he was come back again, having 
 received the kingdom, that he commanded 
 these servants, tinto whom he had given the 
 money, to be called to him, that he might 
 know what they had gained by trading. 
 And the first came before him, saying. Lord, 
 thy pound hath made ten pounds more. 
 And he said unto him. Well done, thou 
 good servant : because thou wast found faith-

 ful in a very little, have thou authority over 
 ten cities. And the second came, saying. 
 Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. 
 And he said unto him also, Be thou also 
 over five cities. And another came, saying. 
 Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept 
 laid up in a napkin : for I feared thee, be- 
 cause thou art an austere man : thou takest 
 up that thou layedst not down, and reapest 
 that thou didst not sow. He saith unto 
 him. Out of thine own mouth will I judge 
 thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest 
 that I am an austere man, taking up that 
 I laid not down, and reaping that I did not 
 sow; then wherefore gavest thou not my 
 money into the bank, and I at my coming 
 should have required it with interest ? And 
 he said unto them that stood by, Take away 
 from him the pound, and give it unto him 
 that hath the ten pounds. I say unto you, 
 that unto every one that hath shall be 
 given ; but from him that hath not, even that 
 which he hath shall be taken away from 
 him. Howbeit these mine enemies, which

 a camel to go through a needle's eye, than 
 for a rich man to enter into the kingdom 
 of God. With men it is impossible, but not 
 with God: for all things are possible with 
 God.* The ground of a certain rich man 
 brought forth plentifully: and he reasoned 
 within himself, saying, What shall I do, be- 
 cause I have not where to bestow my fruits? 
 And he said, This will I do : I will pull down

 I bestow all my corn and my goods. And

 himself, and is not rich toward God.^ 
 
 There was a certain rich man, which had

 of thy stewardship ; for thou canst be no lon- 
 ger steward. And the steward said within 
 himself, What shall I do, seeing that my 
 lord taketh away the stewardship from me? 
 I have not strength to dig; to beg I am 
 ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that^ 
 when I am put out of the stewardship, they 
 may receive me into their houses. And call- 
 ing to him each one of his lord's debtors, 
 he said to the first. How much owest thou 
 unto my lord ? And he said, A hundred

 measures of oil. And he said unto him, 
 Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and 
 write fifty. Then said he to another, And 
 how much owest thou? And he said, A 
 hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto 
 him. Take thy bond, and write fourscore. 
 And his lord commended the unrighteous 
 steward because he had done wisely : for 
 the sons of this world are for their own 
 generation wiser than the sons of the light. 
 And I say unto you. Make to yourselves 
 friends by means of the mammon of un- 
 righteousness ; that, when it shall fail, they 
 may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. 
 He that is faithful in very little is faithful also 
 in much : and he that is unrighteous in a very 
 little is unrighteous also in much. If there- 
 fore ye have not been faithful in the un- 
 righteous mammon, who will commit to your 
 trust the true riches ? And if ye have not 
 been faithful in that which is another's, who 
 will give you that which is your own?^ 
 By their fruits ye shall know them. For 
 
 ' Luke, 16: 1-12.

 each tree is known by its own fruit. For 
 of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of 
 a bramble bush gather they grapes. Even 
 so every good tree bringeth forth good 
 fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth 
 evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth 
 evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring 
 forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth 
 not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast 
 into the fire. Therefore by their fruits shall 
 ye know them. The good man out of the 
 good treasure of his heart bringeth forth 
 that which is good; and the evil man out 
 of the evil treasure bringeth forth that 
 which is evil: for out of the abundance of 
 the heart the mouth speaketh.^ 
 
 Not that which entereth into the mouth 
 defileth the man ; but the things which pro- 
 ceed out of the mouth come forth out of 
 the heart; and they defile the man.^

 shall be full of light. But if thine eye be 
 evil, thy whole body shall be full of dark- 
 ness. If therefore the light that is in thee" 
 be darkness, how great is the darkness ! 
 Look therefore whether the light that is 
 in thee be not darkness. If therefore thy 
 whole body be full of light, having no part 
 dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as 
 when the lamp with its bright shining doth 
 give thee light."^ 
 
 Are there not twelve hours in the day? 
 If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, 
 because he seeth the light of this world. 
 But if a man walk in the night, he stum- 
 bleth, because the light is not in him.^ 
 
 Yet a little while is the light among you. 
 Walk while ye have the light, that dark- 
 ness overtake you not: and he that walk- 
 eth in the darkness knoweth not whither 
 he goeth. While ye have the light, believe 
 on the light, that ye may become sons of 
 light.*

 He that believeth not hath been judged 
 already, because he hath not believed on the 
 name of the only begotten Son of God. And 
 this is the judgement, that the light is come 
 into the world, and men loved the darkness 
 rather than the light; for their works were 
 evil. For every one that doeth ill hateth 
 the light, and cometh not to the light, lest 
 his works should be reproved. But he that 
 doeth the truth cometh to the light, that 
 his works may be made manifest, that they 
 have been wrought in God.^ 
 
 A certain lender had two debtors: the one 
 owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 
 When they had not wherewith to pay, he 
 forgave them both. Which of them there-

 gave the most. And he said unto him,)

 gavest me no water for my feet: but she 
 hath wetted my feet with her tears, and 
 wiped them with her hair. Thou gavest me 
 no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, 
 hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head 
 with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath 
 anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore 
 I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, 
 are forgiven; for she loved much: but to 
 whom little is forgiven, the same loveth 
 little.i

 men, and went into another country for a 
 long time. And when the season of the 
 fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the 
 husbandmen, that he might receive from the 
 husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard. 
 And the husbandmen took his servants, and 
 beat one, and sent him away empty, and 
 killed another, and stoned another. Again, 
 he sent other servants more than the first: 
 and they did unto them in like manner. 
 And the lord of the vineyard said. What 
 shall I do ? I will send my beloved son : it 
 may be they will reverence him. He sent 
 unto them his son. But when the husband- 
 men saw him, they said among themselves, 
 This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and 
 take his inheritance. And they took him and 
 
 . 1 Luke, 19: 43, 44. 
 
1 16 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 killed him, and cast him forth out of the 
 vineyard. When therefore the lord of the 
 vineyard shall come, what will he do unto 
 those husbandmen? he will come and de- 
 stroy the husbandmen, and will give the vine- 
 yard unto others. Did ye never read in the 
 scriptures, 
 
 The stone which the builders rejected. 
 
 The same was made the head of the corner: 
 
 This was from the Lord, 
 
 And it is marvelous in our eyes ? 
 
 Therefore say I unto you. The kingdom 
 of God shall be taken away from you, and 
 shall be given to a nation bringing forth the 
 fruits thereof. Every one that falleth on that 
 stone shall be broken to pieces; but on 
 whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him 
 as dust.^ 
 
 Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, 
 but weep for yourselves, gjid for your chil- 
 dren. For behold, the days are coming, in 
 which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, 
 and the wombs that never bare, and the

 breasts that never gave suck. Then shall 
 they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on 
 us ; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they 
 do these things in the green tree, what shall 
 be done in the dry ? ^ 
 
 SECTION IV. 
 THE PEREAN PROPHECY. 
 
 The days will come, when ye shall desire 
 to see one of the days of the Son of man, 
 and ye shall not see it. And they shall say 
 to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, 
 nor follow after them : for as the lightning, 
 when it lighteneth out of the one part under 
 the heaven, shineth unto the other part under 
 heaven ; so shall the Son of man be in his 
 day. But first must he suffer many things 
 and be rejected of this generation. And as 
 it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so 
 shall it be also in the days of the Son of 
 man. They ate, they drank, they married, 
 they were given in marriage, until the day 
 
 • Luke, 23: 28-31. 
 
Il8 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood 
 came, and destroyed them all. Likewise even 
 as it came to pass in the days of Lot ; they 
 ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they 
 planted, they builded; but in the day that 
 Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and 
 brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them 
 all : after the same manner shall it be in the 
 day that the Son of man is revealed. In 
 that day, he which shall be on the housetop, 
 and his goods in the house, let him not go 
 down to take them away: and let him that 
 is in the field likewise not return back. Re- 
 member Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek 
 to gain his life shall lose it : but whosoever 
 shall lose his life shall preserve it. I say 
 unto you. In that night there shall be two 
 men on one bed; the one shall be taken, 
 and the other shall be left. There shall be 
 two women grinding together ; the one shall 
 be taken, and the other shall be left. Where 
 the body is, thither will the eagles also be 
 gathered together. ^

 SECTION V. 
 THE PROPHECY ON MOUNT OLIVET. 
 
 Seest thou these great buildings ? The 
 days will come, in which there shall not be 
 left here one stone upon another, that shall 
 not be thrown down. (As he sat on the 
 Mount of Olives over against the temple, 
 the disciples came unto him privately, say- 
 ing: Tell us, when shall these things be ? 
 and what shall be the sign when these 
 things are about to come to pass? and 
 what shall be the sign of thy coming, and 
 of the end of the world ? And Jesus an- 
 swered and said unto them,) Take heed 
 that ye be not led astray. For many shall 
 come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; 
 and. The time is at hand; and shall lead 
 many astray; go ye not after them. And 
 when ye shall hear of wars and rumours 
 of wars, and tumults, be not terrified: for 
 these things must needs come to pass first; 
 but the end is not immediately. Nation 
 
I20 CffRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 shall rise against nation, and kingdom against 
 kingdom: and there shall be great earth- 
 quakes, and in divers places famines and 
 pestilences; and there shall be terrors and 
 great signs from heaven: these things are 
 the beginning of travail. But take ye heed 
 to yourselves: before all these things, they 
 shall lay their hands on you, and shall per- 
 secute you, delivering you up to the syna- 
 gogues, councils and prisons; and shall kill 
 you; and in the synagogues shall you be 
 beaten; and before governors and kings shall 
 ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto 
 them; and ye shall be hated of all the na- 
 tions, for my name's sake. And then shall 
 many stumble, and shall deliver up one an- 
 other, and shall hate one another. Ye shall 
 be delivered up even by parents, and breth- 
 ren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of 
 you shall they cause to be put to death. 
 And brother shall deliver up brother to 
 death, and the father his child; and chil- 
 dren shall rise up against parents, and cause 
 them to be put to death. And many false 
 
PROPHECY. IZI 
 
 prophets shall arise, and shall lead many 
 astray. And because iniquity shall be mul- 
 tiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. 
 And when they lead you to judgement, and 
 deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand 
 what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall 
 be given you in that hour, that speak ye: 
 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, 
 which all your adversaries shall not be able 
 to withstand or gainsay: for it is not ye 
 that speak, but the Holy Ghost. And not 
 a hair of your head shall perish: but he 
 that endureth to the end, the same shall be 
 saved. In your patience ye shall win your 
 souls. And this gospel of the kingdom shall 
 be preached in the whole world for a testi- 
 mony unto all the nations; and then shall 
 the end come. 
 
 When therefore ye see the abomination 
 of desolation, which was spoken of by Dan- 
 iel the prophet, standing in the holy place, 
 where it ought not; and when ye see Jeru- 
 salem compassed with armies, then know 
 that her desolation is at hand. Then let 
 
122 CffSIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 them that are in Judsea flee unto the moun- 
 tains; and let them that are in the midst of 
 her depart out; and let not them that are 
 in the country enter therein; and let him 
 that is on the housetop not go down, nor 
 enter in, to take anything out of his house; 
 and let him that is in the field not return 
 back to take his cloke. For these are the 
 days of vengeance, that all the things which 
 are written may be fulfilled. Woe unto them 
 that are with child and to them that give 
 suck in those days! for there shall be great 
 distress upon the land, and wrath unto this 
 people. And they shall fall by the edge 
 of the sword, and shall be led captive into 
 all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trod- 
 den down of the Gentiles, until the times of 
 the Gentiles be fulfilled. And pray ye that 
 your flight be not in the winter, neither on a 
 sabbath. For those days shall be tribulation, 
 such as there hath not been the like from the 
 beginning of the creation which God created 
 until now, and never shall be. And except 
 the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh 
 
PROPHECY. 123 
 
 would have been saved: but for the elect's 
 sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 
 And then if any man shall say unto you, 
 Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there; be- 
 lieve it not: for there shall arise false Christs, 
 and false prophets, and shall shew great signs 
 and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possi- 
 ble, even the elect. But take ye heed: be- 
 hold, I have told you all things beforehand. 
 If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, 
 he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Be- 
 hold, he is in the inner chambers, believe 
 it not. For as the lightning cometh forth 
 from the east, and is seen even unto the 
 west; so shall be the coming of the Son of 
 man. Wheresoever the carcass is, there will 
 the eagles be gathered together. 
 
 But immediately, after the tribulation of 
 those days, the sun shall be darkened, and 
 the moon shall not give her light, and the 
 stars shall be falling from heaven, and the 
 powers that are in the heavens shall be 
 shaken. And there shall be upon the earth 
 distress of nations, in perplexity for the roar- 
 
124 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 mg of the sea and the billows; men fainting 
 for fear, and for expectation of the things 
 which are coming on the world. And then 
 shall appear the sign of the Son of man in 
 heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the 
 earth mourn, and they shall see the Son 
 of man coming on the clouds of heaven with 
 great power and great glory. And then shall 
 he send forth the angels with a great sound 
 of a trumpet, and they shall gather together 
 his elect from the four winds, from the ut- 
 termost part of the earth to the uttermost 
 part of heaven, from one end of heaven to 
 the other. But when these things begin to 
 come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; 
 because your redemption draweth nigh. 
 
 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: 
 when her branch is now become tender, 
 and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that 
 the summer is nigh. Even so ye also, w^hen 
 ye see all these things coming to pass, know 
 ye that the kingdom of God is nigh, even 
 at the doors. Verily I say unto you. This 
 generation shall not pass away, till all these 
 
FROPHECY. 125 
 
 things be accomplished. Heaven and earth 
 shall pass away : but my words shall not 
 pass away. But of that day or that hour 
 knoweth no one, not even the angels of 
 heaven, neither the Son, but the Father 
 only.^ 
 
 And as were the days of Noah, so shall 
 be the coming of the Son of man. For as 
 in those days which were before the flood 
 they were eating and drinking, marrying and 
 giving in marriage, until the day that Noah 
 entered into the ark, and they knew not 
 until the flood came, and took them all 
 away; so shall be the coming of the Son 
 of man. Then shall two men be in the 
 field ; one is taken, and one is left : two 
 women shall be grinding at the mill; one 
 is taken, and one is left. Watch therefore: 
 for ye know not on what day your Lord 
 cometh. But know this, that if the master 
 of the house had known in what watch the 
 thief was coming, he would have watched, 
 and would not have suffered his house to 
 
 > Matt., 24: 2-36, Mark, 13: 2-32, and Luke, 21: 6-33. 
 
126 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 be broken through. Therefore be ye also 
 ready : for in an hour that ye think not the 
 Son of man cometh.^ 
 
 Take heed to yourselves, lest haply your 
 hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and 
 drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that 
 day come on you suddenly as a snare : for 
 so shall it come upon all them that dwell 
 on the face of all the earth. But watch ye 
 at every season, making supplication, that 
 ye may prevail to escape all these things 
 that shall come to pass, and to stand be- 
 fore the Son of man.^ 
 
 Take ye heed, watch and pray : for ye 
 know not when the time is. It is as when 
 a man, sojourning in another country, hav- 
 ing left his house, and given authority to 
 his servants, to each one his work, com- 
 manded also the porter to watch. Watch 
 therefore : for ye know not when the lord 
 of the house cometh, whether at even, or 
 at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the 
 morning; lest coming suddenly he find you 
 
 ' Matt., 24: 37-44. J Luke, 21: 34-36. 
 
PROPHECY. 127 
 
 sleeping. And what I say unto you I say 
 unto all, Watch.^ 
 
 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, 
 whom his lord hath set over his household, 
 to give them their food in due season ? 
 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when 
 he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I 
 say unto you, that he will set him over 
 all that he hath. But if that evil servant 
 shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth ; and 
 shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and 
 shall eat and drink with the drunken; the 
 lord of that servant shall come in a day 
 when he expecteth not, and in an hour 
 when he knoweth not, and shall cut him 
 asunder, and appoint his portion with the 
 hypocrites : there shall be the weeping and 
 gnashing of teeth.^ 
 
 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be 
 likened unto ten virgins, which took their 
 lamps, and went forth to meet the bride- 
 groom. And five of them were foolish, and 
 five were wise. For the foolish, when they 
 
 1 Mark, 13: 33-37- ° Matt., 24: 45-51. 
 
128 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 took their lamps, took no oil with them : 
 but the wise took oil in their vessels with 
 their lamps. Now while the bridegroom 
 tarried, they all slumbered and slept. But 
 at midnight there is a cry. Behold, the 
 bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. 
 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed 
 their lamps. And the foolish said unto the 
 wise. Give us of your oil; for our lamps 
 are going out. But the wise answered, 
 saying, Peradventure there will not be 
 enough for us and you : go ye rather to 
 them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 
 And while they went away to buy, the 
 bridegroom came : and they that were 
 ready went in with him to the marriage 
 feast: and the door was shut. Afterward 
 come also the other virgins, saying, Lord, 
 Lord, open to us. But he answered and 
 said. Verily I say unto you, I know you 
 not. Watch therefore, for ye know not the 
 day nor the hour.^

 They shall put you out of the synagogues : 
 yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth

 shall be given you in that hour what ye shall 
 speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the 
 Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 
 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, 
 and the Father his child : and children shall 
 rise up against parents, and cause them to

 second watch, and if in the third, and find 
 them so, blessed are those servants. But 
 know this, that if the master of the house

 but hath passed out of death into life.^ He 
 that believeth hath eternal life.* This is 
 the will of my Father, that every one that 
 beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, 
 should have eternal life ; and I will raise 
 him up at the last day.^ He that believeth 
 on me, though he die, yet shall he live: 
 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me 
 shall never die.® And as Moses lifted up 
 the serpent in the wilderness, even so must 
 the Son of man be lifted up : that who-

 soever believeth may in him have eternal

 but have eternal life.^ 
 
 (Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with 
 all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and

 ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, 
 and the glory of the Father with the holy 
 angels.* 
 
 Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom 
 of God as a little child, he shall in no wise 
 enter therein.* Except ye turn, and become 
 as little children, ye shall in no wise enter 
 into the kingdom of heaven.* Suffer the 
 little children to come unto me, and forbid 
 them not: for of such is the kingdom of 
 God.5 
 
 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he 
 that hateth his life in this world shall keep

 I am the bread of life. Your fathers did 
 eat the manna in the wilderness, and they 
 died. This is the bread which cometh down 
 out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, 
 and not die. I am the living bread which 
 came down out of heaven: if any man eat 
 of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and 
 the bread which I will give is my flesh, for 
 the life of the world. Except ye eat the 
 flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, 
 ye have not life in yourselves. He that eat- 
 eth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath 
 eternal life; and I will raise him up at the 
 last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and 
 my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth 
 my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in 
 me, and I in him. As the living Father 
 sent me, and I live because of the Father; so 
 he that eateth me, he also shall live because 
 of me. This is the bread which came down 
 out of heaven: not as the fathers did eat, 
 and died: he that eateth this bread shall 
 live for ever.^

 Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for 
 many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter 
 in, and shall not be able. When once the 
 master of the house is risen up, and hath 
 shut to the door, and ye begin to stand 
 without, and to knock at the door, saying. 
 Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and 
 say to you, I know you not whence ye are; 
 then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and 
 drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach 
 in our streets; and he shall say, I tell you, 
 I know not whence ye are; depart from me, 
 all ye workers of iniquity.^ Enter ye in by 
 the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and 
 broad is the way, that leadeth to destruc- 
 tion, and many be they that enter in there- 
 by. For narrow is the gate, and straitened 
 the way, that leadeth unto life, and few be 
 they that find it.^ 
 
 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, 
 Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 
 but he that doeth the will of my Father which 
 is in heaven. Many will say to me in that

 day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by 
 thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, 
 and by thy name do many mighty works? 
 And then will I profess unto them, I never 
 knew you: depart from me, ye that work 
 iniquity.^ I say unto you, that except your 
 righteousness shall exceed the righteousness 
 of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no 
 wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.^ 
 If thou wouldest enter into life, keep the 
 commandments.* 
 
 Every idle word that men shall speak, 
 they shall give account thereof in the day 
 of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt 
 be justified, and by thy words thou shalt 
 be condemned.* 
 
 When the Son of man shall come in his 
 glory, and all the angels with him, then 
 shall he sit on the throne of his glory: and 
 before him shall be gathered all the nations: 
 and he shall separate them one from another, 
 as the shepherd separateth the sheep from

 the goats : and he shall set the sheep on 
 his right hand, but the goats on the left. 
 Then shall the King say unto them on his 
 right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, 
 inherit the kingdom prepared for you from 
 the foundation of the world: for I was an 
 hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was 
 thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a 
 stranger, and ye took me in : naked, and 
 ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye visited 
 me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 
 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 
 Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and 
 fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? 
 And when saw we thee a stranger, and 
 took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 
 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, 
 and came unto thee? And the King shall 
 answer and say unto them. Verily I say 
 unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one 
 of these my brethren, even these least, ye 
 did it unto me. Then shall he say also 
 unto them on the left hand. Depart from 
 me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which 
 
146 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 is prepared for the devil and his angels: 
 for I was an hungered, and ye gave me 
 no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me 
 no drink : I was a stranger, and ye took 
 me not in ; naked, and ye clothed me not ; 
 sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 
 Then shall they also answer, saying. Lord, 
 when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, 
 or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, 
 and did not minister unto thee? Then shall 
 he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto 
 you. Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of 
 these least, ye did it not unto me. And 
 these shall go away into eternal punish- 
 ment : but the righteous into eternal life.^

CHAPTER XIII. 
 DOOM OF THE WICKED. 
 
 SECTION I. 
 EXCLUSION FROM HEAVEN. 
 
 A certain man made a great supper; and 
 he bade many : and he sent forth his servant 
 at supper time to say to them that were bid- 
 den, Come ; for all things are now ready. 
 And they all with one consent began to 
 make excuse. The first said unto him, I 
 have bought a field, and I must needs go out 
 and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 
 And another said, I have bought five yoke 
 of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray 
 thee have me excused. And another said, 
 I have married a wife, and therefore I can- 
 
148 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 not come. And the servant came, and told 
 his lord these things. Then the master of 
 the house being angry said to his servant, 
 Go out quickly into the streets and lanes 
 of the city, and bring in hither the poor 
 and maimed and blind and lame. And the 
 servant said, Lord, what thou didst com- 
 mand is done, and yet there is room. And 
 the lord said unto the servant, . Go out into 
 the highways and hedges, and constrain them 
 to come in, that my house may be filled. 
 For I say unto you, that none of those 
 men which were bidden shall taste of my 
 supper.i 
 
 SECTION II. 
 CONSCIOUS FUTURE PUNISHMENT. 
 
 Now there was a certain rich man, and 
 he was clothed in purple and fine linen, 
 faring sumptuously every day: and a cer- 
 tain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his 
 gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed 
 
 ' Luke, 14: 16-24. 
 
DOOM OF THE WICKED. 149 
 
 with the crumbs that fell from the rich 
 man's table ; yea, even the dogs came and 
 licked his sores. And it came to pass, that 
 the beggar died, and that he was carried 
 away by the angels into Abraham's bosom : 
 and the rich man also died, and was buried. 
 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being 
 in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, 
 and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried 
 and said. Father Abraham, have mercy on 
 me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the 
 tip of his finger in water, and cool my 
 tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame. 
 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou 
 in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, 
 and Lazarus in like manner evil things : but 
 now here he is comforted, and thou art in 
 anguish. And beside all this, between us 
 and you there is a great gulf fixed, that 
 they which would pass from hence to you 
 may not be able, and that none may cross 
 over from thence to us. And he said, I 
 pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest 
 send him to my father's house; for I have 
 
I50 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 five brethren ; that he may testify unto them, 
 lest they also come into this place of torment. 
 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and 
 the prophets; let them hear them. And he 
 said, Nay, father Abraham : but if one go 
 to them from the dead, they will repent. 
 And he said unto him, If they hear not 
 Moses and the prophets, neither will they 
 be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.^ 
 
 SECTION III. 
 FINAL DESTRUCTION. 
 
 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto 
 a man that sowed good seed in his field: 
 but while men slept, his enemy came and 
 sowed tares also among the wheat, and went 
 away. But when the blade sprang up, and 
 brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares 
 also. And the servants of the householder 
 came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not 
 sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath 
 • Luke, i6: 19-31. 
 
DOOM OF THE WICKED. 15* 
 
 it tares ? And he said unto them, An enemy 
 hath done this. And the servants say unto 
 him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather 
 them up ? But he saith. Nay ; lest haply 
 while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the 
 wheat with them. Let both grow together 
 until the harvest: and in the time of the 
 harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather 
 up first the tares, and bind them in bundles 
 to burn them : but gather the wheat into 
 my barn.^ He that soweth the good seed 
 is the Son of man ; and the field is the world ; 
 and the good seed, these are the sons of the 
 kingdom ; and the tares are the sons of the 
 evil one; and the enemy that sowed them 
 is the devil: and the harvest is the end of 
 the world; and the reapers are angels. As 
 therefore the tares are gathered up and 
 burned with fire; so shall it be in the end 
 of the world. The Son of man shall send 
 forth his angels, and they shall gather out 
 of his kingdom all things that cause stum- 
 bling, and them that do iniquity, and shall 
 I Matt., 13: 24-30. 
 
152 
 
 CUBIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall 
 be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.^ 
 
 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
 a net, that was cast into the sea, and gath- 
 ered of every kind : which, when it was 
 filled, they drew up on the beach ; and they 
 sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, 
 but the bad they cast away. So shall it be 
 in the end of the world : the angels shall 
 come forth, and sever the wicked from among 
 the righteous, and shall cast them into the 
 furnace of fire : there shall be the weeping 
 and gnashing of teeth.^ If a man abide not 
 in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is 
 withered; and they gather them, and cast 
 them into the fire, and they are burned.* 
 Every plant which my heavenly Father 
 planted not, shall be rooted up.* 
 
 (Now there were some present at that 
 very season which told him of the Galilaeans, 
 whose blood Pilate had mingled with their 
 sacrifices. And he answered and said unto 
 
 ' Matt., 13: 37-42. ' Matt., 13: 47-50. 
 
 3 John, 15: 6. < Matt., 15: 13. 
 
DOOM OF THE WICKED. 153 
 
 them,) Think ye that these Galilaeans were 
 sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they 
 have suffered these things ? I tell you, Nay : 
 but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like 
 manner perish. Or those eighteen, upon 
 whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed 
 them, think ye that they were offenders above 
 all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? I tell 
 you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall 
 all Hkewise perish.^ 
 
 If thy hand causeth thee to stumble, cut 
 it off, and cast it from thee : for it is profitable 
 for thee that one of thy members should 
 perish — good for thee to enter into life 
 maimed, rather than having two hands to 
 go into hell, into the unquenchable eternal 
 fire. And if thy foot causeth thee to stumble, 
 cut it off, and cast it from thee : it is good 
 for thee to enter into life halt, rather than 
 having thy two feet to be cast into hell ; into 
 the eternal fire. And if thine eye causeth 
 thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from 
 thee : for it is profitable for thee that one of 
 
 ' Luke, 13: 1-5. 
 
154 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 thy members should perish — good for thee 
 to enter into life — into the kingdom of God, 
 with one eye, rather than having two eyes 
 to be cast into the hell of fire; where their 
 worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 
 For every one shall be salted with fire.^ The 
 Sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into 
 the outer darkness : there shall be the weep- 
 ing and gnashing of teeth.^ 
 
 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto 
 a certain king, which made a marriage feast 
 for his son, and sent forth his servants to 
 call them that were bidden to the marriage 
 feast: and they would not come. Again 
 he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them 
 that are bidden. Behold, I have made ready 
 my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are 
 killed, and all things are ready: come to 
 the marriage feast. But they made light 
 of it, and went their ways, one to his own 
 farm, another to his merchandise: and the 
 rest laid hold on his servants, and en-

DOOM OF THE WICKED. 155 
 
 treated them shamefully and killed them. 
 But the king was wroth; and he sent his 
 armies, and destroyed those murderers, and 
 burned their city. Then saith he to his 
 servants, The wedding is ready, but they 
 that were bidden were not worthy. Go ye 
 therefore unto the partings of the high- 
 ways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to 
 the marriage feast. And those servants 
 went out into the highways, and gathered 
 together all as many as they found, both 
 bad and good: and the wedding was filled 
 with guests. But when the king came in 
 to behold the guests, he saw there a man 
 which had not on a wedding-garment: and 
 he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou 
 in hither not having a wedding-garment ? 
 And he was speechless. Then the king 
 said to the servants. Bind him hand and 
 foot, and cast him out into the outer dark- 
 ness; there shall be the weeping and gnash- 
 ing of teeth. For many are called, but few 
 are chosen.^

 ITS REALITY. 
 
 In my Father's house are many man- 
 sions; if it were not so, I would have 
 told you; for I go to prepare a place for 
 you. And if I go and prepare a place for 
 you, I come again, and will receive you 
 unto myself; that where I am, there ye 
 may be also.^ And they shall come from 
 the east and west, and from the north and 
 south, and shall sit down in the kingdom 
 of God.2 Then shall the righteous shine

 THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN. 
 
 What man of you, having a hundred 
 sheep, and having lost one of them, doth 
 not leave the ninety and nine in the wil- 
 derness, and go after that which is lost, 
 until he find it ? And when he hath found 
 it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 
 And when he cometh home, he calleth to- 
 gether his friends and his neighbours, say- 
 ing unto them. Rejoice with me, for I 
 have found my sheep which was lost. I 
 say unto you, that even so there shall be 
 joy in heaven over one sinner that re- 
 penteth, more than over ninety and nine 
 righteous persons, which need no repent- 
 ance. Or what woman having ten pieces 
 of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not 
 light a lamp, and sweep the house, and 
 
 ' Matt, 13: 43- 
 
158 CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 seek diligently until she find it ? And 
 when she hath found it, she calleth to- 
 gether her friends and neighbours, saying, 
 Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece 
 which I had lost. Even so, I say unto you, 
 there is joy in the presence of the angels 
 of God over one sinner that repenteth.^ 
 
 See that ye despise not one of these 
 little ones; for I say unto you, that in 
 heaven their angels do always behold the 
 face of my Father which is in heaven.^ 
 
 SECTION III. 
 HEAVEN SUPERLATIVELY GOOD. 
 
 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
 treasure hidden in the field; which a man 
 found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth 
 and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth 
 that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven 
 is like unto a man that is a merchant seek- 
 ing goodly pearls: and having found one 
 
 1 Luke, 15; 4-10. 2 Matt., 18: 10. 
 
HE A VEN. 
 
 159 
 
 pearl of great price, he went and sold all 
 that he had, and bought it.^ 
 
 What shall a man be profited, if he shall 
 gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? 
 or what shall a man give in exchange for 
 his life ? 2 
 
 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon 
 the earth, where moth and rust doth con- 
 sume, and where thieves break through and 
 steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures 
 in heaven, where neither moth nor rust 
 doth consume, and where thieves do not 
 break through nor steal.* 
 
 SECTION IV. 
 THE REWARDS OF HEAVEN. 
 
 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
 man that is a householder, which went out 
 early in the morning to hire labourers into 
 his vineyard. And when he had agreed 
 with the labourers for a penny a day, he 
 sent them into hid vineyard. And he went 
 
 > Matt., 13: 44-46. 2 Matt, 16: 26. « Matt., 6: 19, 20. 
 
l6o CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY. 
 
 out about the third hour, and saw others 
 standing in the marketplace idle; and to 
 them he said, Go ye also into the vine- 
 yard, and whatsoever is right I will give 
 you. And they went their way. Again he 
 went out about the sixth and the ninth 
 hour, and did likewise. And about the 
 eleventh hour he went out, and found 
 others standing; and he saith unto them, 
 Why stand ye here all the day idle? They 
 say unto him, Because no man hath hired 
 us. He saith unto them. Go ye also into 
 the vineyard. And when even was come, 
 the lord of the vineyard saith unto his stew- 
 ard. Call the labourers, and pay them their 
 hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 
 And when they came that were hired about 
 the eleventh hour, they received every man 
 a penny. And when the first came, they 
 supposed that they would receive more ; 
 and they likewise received every man a 
 penny. And when they received it, they 
 murmured against the householder, saying, 
 These last have spent but one hour, and 
 
HEAVEN. 1 61 
 
 thou hast made them equal unto us, which 
 have borne the burden of the day and the 
 scorching heat. But he answered and said 
 to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: 
 didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 
 Take up that which is thine, and go thy 
 way; it is my will to give unto this last 
 even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me 
 to do what I will with mine own? or is 
 thine eye evil, because I am good? So 
 the last shall be first and the first last.^ 
 
 SECTION V. 
 
 THE SAVED ARE AS THE ANGELS. 
 
 The sons of this world marry, and are 
 given in marriage : but they that are ac- 
 counted worthy to attain to that world, and 
 the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, 
 nor are given in marriage : for neither can 
 they die any more : for they are equal unto 
 the angels ; and are sons of God, being sons 
 of the resurrection.*
