You didn't enter in yourselves, and those who were entering
in, you hindered."
011:053 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees
began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
011:054 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something
he might say, that they might accuse him.
012:001 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together,
so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell
his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees,
which is hypocrisy.
012:002 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed,
nor hidden, that will not be known.
012:003 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard
in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner
chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
012:004 "I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill
the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
012:005 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him,
who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna.{or,
Hell} Yes, I tell you, fear him.
012:006 "Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins{An assarion
was a small copper coin worth about an hour's wages for an
agricultural laborer.}? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
012:007 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't
be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
012:008 "I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will
the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
012:009 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied
in the presence of the angels of God.
012:010 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will
be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit
will not be forgiven.
012:011 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers,
and the authorities, don't be anxious how or what you will answer,
or what you will say;
012:012 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what
you must say."
012:013 One of the multitude said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother
to divide the inheritance with me."
012:014 But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an
arbitrator over you?"
012:015 He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness,
for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things
which he possesses."
012:016 He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain
rich man brought forth abundantly.
012:017 He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I
don't have room to store my crops?'
012:018 He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns,
and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain
and my goods.
