¹ {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. ² Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me. ⁴ Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest. ⁵ Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me. ⁶ Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom. ⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ⁸ Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. ⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me. ¹² Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me. ¹³ I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee. ¹⁴ Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. ¹⁵ Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise. ¹⁶ For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

¹ I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill. ² And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. ³ And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What was there yet to do to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? -- ⁵ And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot; ⁶ and I will make it a waste -- it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷ For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.

¹⁷ For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart. ¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.

³³ Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country. ³⁴ But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits. ³⁵ And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner. ³⁷ And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son. ³⁸ But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance. ³⁹ And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. ⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen? ⁴¹ They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes? ⁴³ Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it. ⁴⁴ And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder. ⁴⁵ And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.

¹¹ And he said, A certain man had two sons; ¹² and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them what he was possessed of. ¹³ And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery. ¹⁴ But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want. ¹⁵ And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. ¹⁶ And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him. ¹⁷ And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father`s have abundance of bread, and *I* perish here by famine. ¹⁸ I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. ²⁰ And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses. ²¹ And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son. ²² But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; ²³ and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry: ²⁴ for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry. ²⁵ And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶ And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be. ²⁷ And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well. ²⁸ But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him. ²⁹ But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends: ³⁰ but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. ³¹ But he said to him, Child, *thou* art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. ³² But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.

¹⁹ Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day. ²⁰ And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores, ²¹ and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores. ²² And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us. ²⁷ And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment. ²⁹ But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them. ³⁰ But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
