¹ For the end, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the multitude of Your compassions, blot out my transgression. ² Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I am conscious of my iniquity; and my sin is continually before me. ⁴ Against You alone have I sinned, and done evil before You; that You might be justified in Your words, and might overcome when You are judged. ⁵ For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me. ⁶ For behold, You love truth; You have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of Your wisdom. ⁷ You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified; You shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. ⁸ You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy; my afflicted bones shall rejoice. ⁹ Turn away Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a steadfast spirit in my inward parts. ¹¹ Cast me not away from Your presence; and remove not Your Holy Spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of Your salvation; establish me with Your directing Spirit. ¹³ Then will I teach transgressors Your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to You. ¹⁴ Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue shall joyfully declare Your righteousness. ¹⁵ O Lord, You shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare Your praise. ¹⁶ For if You desired sacrifice, I would have given it; You will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings. ¹⁷ Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. ¹⁸ Do good, O Lord, to Zion in Your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. ¹⁹ Then shall You be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices; then shall they offer calves upon Your altar.

¹ Now I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard.

Whereas I expected it to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns. ⁵ And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard; I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be left to be trodden down. ⁶ And I will forsake My vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it. ⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His beloved plant; I expected it to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.

³³ "Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to farmers and went on a journey. ³⁴ Now when harvest time of fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, that they might collect his fruits. ³⁵ And the farmers took his servants, they beat one, and one they killed, and another they stoned. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. ³⁷ And at last he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.' ³⁸ "But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and let us gain possession of his inheritance.' ³⁹ "And taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. ⁴⁰ Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?" ⁴¹ They said to Him, "He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other farmers, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons." ⁴² Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? ⁴³ "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and it shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it. ⁴⁴ And he who falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder." ⁴⁵ Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that He was speaking about them.

¹¹ Then 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 wealth which falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood. ¹³ And not many days after, having gathered together all things, the younger son went on a journey to a distant country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. ¹⁴ But when he had spent everything, there arose a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need. ¹⁵ Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. ¹⁶ And he was longing to fill his stomach with the carob pods which the swine were eating, and no one gave him anything. ¹⁷ But having come to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, and I am perishing with hunger! ¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, ¹⁹ and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants." ' ²⁰ And he arose and went to his father. But when he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.' ²² But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. ²³ And bring the fatted calf here and slaughter it, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴ for this my son was dead and came to life, and he was lost and was found.' And they began to be merry. ²⁵ Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶ And having summoned one of the servants, he was inquiring what these things might be. ²⁷ And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and because he has received him back in good health, your father has killed the fatted calf.' ²⁸ But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and began to plead with him. ²⁹ So he answered and said to his father, 'Lo, so many years I have been serving you and I never transgressed your commandment; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰ But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fatted calf for him.' ³¹ And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. ³² But it was necessary to be merry and to rejoice, because your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.' "

¹⁹ "Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, enjoying himself splendidly every day. ²⁰ But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate, ²¹ and longing to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. And even the dogs came and would lick his sores. ²² And it came to pass that the beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so 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, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross over from here to you are not able, nor may those from there cross over to us.' ²⁷ Then he said, 'Therefore I beseech you, father, that you would send him to my father's house, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' ²⁹ Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' ³⁰ And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent.' ³¹ But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded should one rise from the dead.'
