And that master said in reply to that servant, "Go out into the highways and roadblocks and compel them to come in, that mine, this house, might be stuffed.
Because I say to you that not one of those men, those there, those invited, will taste mine, this meal.
If anyone shows up before me and he doesn't despise that father of his own, and that mother, and that spouse and those children and those brothers and those sisters. Still even more: that self of his own. He doesn't have the power to be my student.
Whoever does not lift up that stake of his own and show up after me. He doesn't have the power to be my student.
Because who from among you, wanting to construct a tower doesn't nevertheless, first, sitting down doesn't count the expenditure that you have for completion.
Lest when laying his foundation and not having being able to finish, all those viewing it might start to ridicule him .
Saying that this person started to construct and isn't strong enough to finish.
Or what king marching to another king to join in a fight in a war doesn't indeed, sitting down, first consider for himself if possible it is surrounded by ten thousand to meet anyone with twenty thousand showing up against him.
But if [he does]n't at all. While still being far off from him, sending off a delegation he asks for peace.

Good, certainly, the salt. When, however, also that salt might become insipid? In what is will it be prepared?

Any person from among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one from among them. Doesn't he abandon the ninety-nine in the desolation and go after the one having departed until he might discover it.
And discovering it, he lays it on his shoulders, celebrating.
I tell you that this is why joy will exist in these skies upon one mistake-maker changing his mind than upon ninety-nine righteous somebodies having no need of a change of heart.
Or any woman having ten silver coins, when she loses one coin, doesn't she indeed light a lamp and clean the house and search carefully until she should find it?
And finding it, she invites together those girlfriends and neighbors saying, "Together you will celebrate with me because I found the silver coin that I lost."
This is why I tell you, a joy arises in front of the messengers of the Divine upon one mistake-maker changing his mind.
A man, a someone, has two sons.
And the younger of them said to that father, "Father, hand over that share of the property belonging to me." So, that one allocated to them that livelihood."
And after not many days getting together all, the younger son, went abroad in a distant land and there scatter abroad the property of his living destructively.
After he used up, however, his wherewithal, a serious famine happened over that land there, and he began to fail himself.
And going, he was glued to one of the citizens of that country there. And he sent him into those fields of his to feed pigs.
And he yearned to be fattened from the carob pods that the swine ate, and--no one gave them to him.
But coming to himself, he said, "How many hired laborers of that father of mine abound in bread? I myself, however? I destroy myself with hunger here.
No longer am I worthy to be called a son of yours, make me just like one of those hired servants of yours.
And getting up, he showed up before that father of his own. While, however, he kept far away, that father of his saw him. And he was gutted. And running over, he fell upon, upon the neck of his, just kissing him.
He said, however, that son to him, 'Father, I have erred in regards to the sky and before you. No longer am I worthy to be called a son of yours. [from ancient manuscripts] make me just like one of those hired servants of yours.
That father said, however, to those servants of his, "Quick, bring out the best robe and put it on him and give a ring on that hand of his and sandals on those feet."
And bring the calf, the fattened one, sacrifice it, and, eating, we might make merry.
Because here this son of mine was dead. And he returned to life. He was lost and he has been found. And they began to enjoy themselves.
He was, however, that son of his, the eldest, in a field. And when showing up, he neared the house. He heard musics just for dancing.
And, summoning one of the children, he inquired concerning what these things might be.
That one, however, said to him, "Because that brother of yours is here. And that father of yours sacrificed the calf, the fattened one, that father of yours, because he recovered him being healthy."

This one, however, answering said to that father of his, "Look, so many years I slaved for you and not at any time I overruled an order of yours and not at any time did you give a kid to me so that I might celebrate with those friends of mine
When, however, that son of yours here, the one eating up yours this livelihood with prostitutes, comes, you kill the fattened calf for him.
That one, however, said to him, "Child, you yourself are at all time with me and all these things of mine are your own.
There is, however, a need to celebrate and rejoice! Because this brother of yours here was dead and lives again, and having been lost also is found.
A man, a someone, was rich. This one had a house manager and this one was slandered to him as scattering around those belongings of his.
And crying to him, he said to him, "What from here do I hear about you? Deliver an explanation of this house management of yours. Because you don't have the power still to manage."

That one, however, said, "A hundred casks of oil." This one, however, said to him, "Get your letter and, placing it down, quickly write fifty."
Afterwards he said to another "You yourself, however, how much do you owe?" That one, however, said, "A hundred bundles of wheat. He told him, "Get yours those documents and write eighty,"

No one, a houseman, has the power to serve two masters. Because either he will hate the one and he will care for the other or he will stick himself to one and he will look down upon the other . You do not have the power to serve Divinity and mammon.

It happened, however, while that beggar died and he was carried off by the messengers into the lap of Abraham, he died also, however, that rich one and was honored by a funeral.
And in that netherworld, raising up those eyes of his, being really in trials, he observed Abraham from afar and Lazarus in those laps of his.
