Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, 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, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
