no beginning may be and no end.
in their courses to go.
both great and small...
for man's sustenation... that I have mostly goodly planted... for his own re-creation.
Back it out of there! Come on! Back it up!
Will you back it out of here?
What do you say? I got the right of way.
Look at that mess! Come on! I got the right of way.
Go on, get out of here!
Don't just stand there!
I ain't got all day, I got places to go!
Come here, come here!
What?
Hey, Merrell! Where you going?
I baptize you with water for repentance...
...but He that comes after me is mightier than I.
I'm not fit to take off His shoes.
And He will baptize you all...
...with the Holy Spirit and with fire!
You come to me?
I want to get washed up.
I would rather be baptized by you.
No, we do well now to conform with all that God requires.
From despair
- Let's go! - Look at this!
Look at that car!
Watch the birdy.
Leaving so soon?
Wake me at 6...
...for tea and biscuits. Make that noon.
Who is it?
I said noon!
Come here, come here!
Oh, boy. Look!
Here. See if it fits.
Now, do not suppose that I have come to abolish the Law and the prophets.
I did not come to abolish...
...but to complete.
I tell you this :
So long as Heaven and earth endure...
...not a letter...
...not a stroke will disappear from the Law...
...until all that must happen has happened.
If any man, therefore...
...sets aside even the least of the Law's demands...
...he will have the lowest place...
...in the kingdom of Heaven.
But he who keeps the Law...
...and teaches others so...
...he will have the highest place in the kingdom of Heaven.
Unless you show yourselves to be far better than the Pharisees...
...and the doctors of the Law...
...you shall never enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Amen!
Brothers and sisters gather around...
...because two men...
...I said two, went off to the temple to pray.
One, a Pharisee...
...and the other...
...a tax gatherer.
While the Pharisee, he just stood right on up and prayed thus:
I thank Thee, O God, that I am not like other men.
Greedy, dishonest, adulterous...
...or for that matter, like that tax gatherer.
I pray twice a week. Get that? Twice a week!
And pay taxes on all that I get.
But the other kept his distance...
...and would not even raise his eyes to the good Lord in Heaven.
- I said, "The good Lord in Heaven"! - Amen!
But beat upon his breast, saying :
"Oh, God, have mercy on me...
...sinner that I am."
And it was this man, I tell you--
You've got to be kidding!
And not the other, who went off and quitted of his sins.
For every man who exalts himself...
...shall be humbled.
But every man who humbles himself...
Shall be...
...exalted!
What if your brother sues you?
You better settle with him quickly.
- Or he'll hand you over to the judge. - Guilty!
And the judge to the constable...
...and you'll land in jail!
Let me out of here!
I tell you...
...you'll not get out of there until you've paid the last penny.
There appeared before the master
Ran into the millions
To meet the debt
And his child
Down at the master's feet and went:
- Be patient with me. - He said.
And I shall pay in full.
And so moved with pity was the master...
...that he decided to free the man...
...and remit the debt. And let's hear it for the master!
Give me an M! Give me an A-S-T-E-R!
Yay, master!
Wait a minute.
No sooner had he been released...
...that he met a servant who owed him a few dollars.
He gripped him by the throat and said :
Pay me! I says pay me what you owes me!
The man fell at his fellow servant's feet and begged him, saying:
Please, please be patient with me.
I shall pay you.
But he refused, saying :
Look!
And had him jailed until he should pay.
Well, the other servants were deeply distressed...
...when they saw what had happened.
Are you sitting down?
They ran and told their master the whole story.
Accordingly, he sent for the man.
You scoundrel!
He said to him.
I remitted the whole of your debt when you appealed to me.
Were you not bound to show your fellow servant the same pity I show to you?
And so angry was the master...
...that he condemned the man to torture...
...until he could pay...
...the debt in full.
And that is how my Heavenly Father will deal with you...
...unless you forgive your brothers from your hearts.
Master.
You have heard, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
But what I tell you is this :
Never set yourself against the man who wrongs you.
So if someone slaps you on your right cheek...
...turn and offer him your left.
Oh, Jesus Chr--
Slowly I turn...
...step by step...
...inch by inch.
It's for you.
No, I didn't think so.
Now, when the Son of Man comes in all His glory...
...with all His angels with Him...
...He will sit in state upon His throne...
...with all the nations gathered before Him.
He'll separate the men into two groups...
...as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
He'll put the sheep on His right...
...and the goats on His left.
Over there.
Sheep on His right.
The sheep on His right. I see.
Thank you.
And then He will say to those on His right:
Sheep...
-...you have my Father's blessing. - Oh, wonderful!
Enter the kingdom that's been ready since the world was made.
For when I was hungry, you gave me food.
When I was thirsty, you gave me drink.
When I was naked and without a home, you took me in.
And when I was ill and in prison, you came to my aid.
Sorry.
No goats.
Baloney!
Then they will say to Him :
Master, when was it that we saw youse hungry and gave youse food...
...or thirsty and gave youse drink?
Yeah! Or in prison and helped you?
And He will say to them :
"Anything you did for one of your brothers...
...however humble, you did for me."
I get it!
And He will say to them :
A curse is upon you!
Then they'll say to Him :
Big boy, if we'd have known it was you...
...we would've taken you around the corner for a cup of coffee.
And He will say to them :
"Anything you did not do for one of your brothers, however humble...
...you did not do for me."
And then they will take their place in eternal punishment.
But the righteous shall have eternal life!
Come on!
Come on.
Hey, I can't see!
- What's the matter? - I got my eyes shut.
Now, no servant can be the slave of two masters.
Either he will love the first and think nothing of the second...
...or be devoted to the second and hate the first.
No man can serve God...
...and money.
Ritz Hotel.
Take me to Tiffany's.
- Where's she going? - Look at this.
Stop it!
Oh, I like that!
Handle with care.
Pardon me, while I slip into something more comfortable.
Hard as a rock!
Come here, Jesus. I got something to show you.
Play it, honey!
A man was on his way from Jerusalem to Jericho...
...when he fell among robbers...
...who beat him...
...stripped him...
...and left...
...leaving him half-dead.
It so happened a priest came upon him.
But when he saw him, he went past on the other side.
So too, a judge...
...came to the place...
...and saw him...
...and he went past on the other side.
But...
...a Samaritan was making the journey.
He came upon him, and when he saw him...
...he was moved to pity.
He went up and bandaged his wounds...
...bathing them in oil and wine.
Then he put him onto his own beast and brought him to an inn...
...and looked after him there.
The next day, he produced two pieces of silver...
...and gave them to the innkeeper and said:
"Look after him...
...and if you spend any more...
...I will repay on my way back."
Bravo!
When you do some act of charity, don't announce it with trumpets...
...as the heathen do in synagogues and in the streets.
I tell you, they do it just to win admiration from men.
No, when you do some act of charity...
...don't let your right hand know...
...what your left hand is doing.
Look at that!
Your good deed must be in secret.
It's a secret.
What the good Master is telling us is that up in Heaven...
...there's about 100 million tiny angels about yea-by-yea...
...and they all take shorthand.
Every time you do something silly, they write it in--
That's not what the good Master is telling us.
Your Heavenly Father, who sees what is done in secret...
He will what?
Reward you!
Get him some flowers.
Thank you. Thank you.
There once was a very rich man...
...who dressed in purple and the finest linen.
Rich man, that's me.
And every day he feasted--
Thank you, thank you...
Feasted in the greatest magnificence.
At his gate lay poor Lazarus...
...who would've been glad to eat the scraps from the rich man's table.
Oh, my God, it's good! Get out of there.
Even the doggy-doggies...
...used to come to Lazarus and lick his open, running sores.
Sorry.
Well, one day, the poor man died...
...and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham.
The rich man also died...
...and was buried...
...and was sent to Hades...
...where he was in torment.
He looked up...
...and there, far, far away...
...was Abraham...
...with Lazarus close beside him.
Oh, Father Abraham...
...have pity on me.
Send Lazarus to dip...
...the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue.
For I'm in agony in this fire. Let go of me, will you!
Remember, my child, that all the good things fell to you...
...while you were on earth.
And all the bad to Lois.
Lazarus.
Abraham. Glad to know you.
And now it is he who has consolation here...
...and it is you who are in agony.
Then, Father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father's house...
...where I have five pies-- I mean, brothers...
...to warn them...
...so that they too may not come to this place of torment.
They got Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.
But if somebody from the dead should rise, then they'd listen.
Look.
If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets...
...they ain't gonna listen to nobody.
Even if somebody should rise from the dead.
Bravo!
Master!
Master! Blessed are the poor in spirit.
For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
- Blessed are they who mourn. - They shall be comforted.
- Blessed are the meek. - They shall inherit the earth.
- They who hunger for justice. - They shall be filled.
- The merciful! - They shall have mercy.
- Blessed are the pure in heart. - They shall see God.
- Blessed are the peacemakers! - They shall be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake!
For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven!
Blessed are ye...
...when men shall persecute you and revile you...
...and say all manner of evil against you...
...falsely.
Did I ever tell you that I used to read feet?
You used to what?
Some people read palms, tea leaves.
I read feet.
Look! Look what it says.
It says "rejoice."
It does?
It says "Keds."
No, it says "Rejoice. Be exceedingly glad.
For great is your reward in the kingdom of Heaven."
Come on!
Teeth are decaying
Doing what they please
Never feeling cold
Best at shaking down
Cushions on their seat
Where it's sunny
Winters warm and free
And we get the rest
The sun and the sand for?
it's all for the best
Thanks.
Teeth are decaying
Yes, sir
You'll be blessed
How can you take the speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye...
...when all the time there's this great plank in your own?
I don't know. How can you take it out of your brother's eye...
...when there's this great plank in your own?
You hypocrite!
First you take the plank out of your eye...
...so you can see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's.
Wait a minute! That's no answer to the question.
Did I promise you an answer to the question?
it's all for the--
All your wrongs will be redressed.
You must never be distressed.
Someone's got to be oppressed.
Hello.
Love your enemies.
- And pray for your persecutors. - You don't mean...
-I do. - You do?
I love you.
Come on!
Right here.
A sower went to sow some seed.
As he sowed, some seed fell on the footpath...
...where it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up.
Some seed fell on rock.
And after coming up--
Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow.
--Withered for lack of moisture.
And some seed fell in among the weeds.
And the weeds grew up with it...
...and choked it.
And some seed fell into good soil.
Good soil!
Come on!
It grew and it yielded a hundredfold.
Do you know what the seed is?
- A baby. - Wrong!
The seed is the word of God.
And that seed which fell along the footpath...
...represents those who hear the word...
...but then the devil comes and carries them off...
...for fear they should believe and be saved.
And that which fell upon rock...
...they receive the word with joy.
But they have no root. So in time of testing, they desert.
- Bye. - See you.
And that which fell among weeds...
...hear the word, but their growth is impaired by wealth...
...and cares and the pleasures of the world.
They bring nothing to fruit.
No fruit, Robin.
But that which fell among good soil...
Hey, good soil!
They hear the word with a good and honest heart...
...and through their perseverance...
...yield a harvest.
Consider the lilies of the field.
They don't work. They don't spin.
And yet, I tell you, Solomon in all his splendor...
...was not attired like one of these.
Now, if that's how God clothes the grass which is here today...
...and tomorrow is thrown unto the fire...
...will He not all the more clothe you?
Once upon a time, there was a man who had two sons.
And the younger son said to his father:
Father, give me my share of the property!
So he divided his estate between them.
A few days later, the younger son...
...turned the whole of his share into cash.
And left home for a distant country.
Where I squandered the money on reckless living.
He'd spent it all when a famine fell upon the country...
...and he began to feel the pinch.
So he decided to attach himself to one of the local landowners...
...who sent him on the farm to mind the pigs.
He would've been glad to have filled his belly...
...with the pods the pigs were eating...
...but no one gave him anything.
And then he came to his senses.
He said :
How many of my father's servants have more food than they can eat...
...and here I am starving to death?
I will set off and I will go to my father's house and say to him :
"Father, I have sinned against God and against you.
I am no longer fit to be called your son.
Treat me as one of your paid servants."
So he set out for his father's house.
Yes, and there he goes.
While he was still a long way off...
...his father saw him.
And his heart went out to him.
The son ran to meet his father...
...and like the spunky kid he is...
...threw his arms around him, kissed him and said:
Father, I have sinned against God and against you.
I am no longer fit to be called your son.
Treat me as one of your paid servants.
But the father called to one of his servants :
Servant!
Quick, fetch me my robe, my best one.
Put rings on his fingers and bells on his toes...
...so he shall have music wherever he goes.
Wrong story.
Put rings on his fingers and shoes on his feet...
...and bring the fatted calf and kill it.
I said kill it.
I said kill it!
And let us have a feast to celebrate this here day...
...for this son of mine was lost...
...and is found...
...was dead and has come back to life.
Now, the oldest kid was out on the farm working.
And on his way back, as he approached the house...
...he heard music and dancing.
He called one of his servants and asked him what it meant.
The servant said :
Your brother's come back home again.
Your father's killed the fatted calf...
...because he got him back safe and sound.
Well, the brother was rather irritated by this.
He refused to go into the house.
The father came out and pleaded with him.
But he retorted, saying :
You know how I've worked for you all these years...
...and you never gave me so much as a kid...
...for a feast with my friends.
But once this son of yours turns up...
...after running through your money with his women...
...you killed the fatted calf for him.
I said kill it.
I said kill it!
"My boy," said the father.
"You've always been with me and everything I have is yours.
Now, how could we help but celebrate on this happy day...
...for your brother here was dead and he's come back to life...
...metaphorically speaking.
Was lost and is found."
Them's my boys.
Is there a man among you who'd offer his son a stone...
...when he asks for bread?
A snake, if he asks for fish?
If you, then, mad as you are...
...now know how to give your children what is good for them...
...how much more will your Heavenly Father...
...give good things...
...to those who ask for them?
Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Well, that is the Law and the prophets.
The Law and the prophets, the Law and the prophets.
You are the light of the world.
And be the salt of the earth
before men
Let's have some wine!
before men
Let's have some wine!
Stroke!
Stop!
This is the beginning.
By whose authority...
...are you acting like this?
Who gave you this authority?
I have a question to ask you.
The baptism of John, was it from God or from man?
If we say from God, he will say, "Then why did you not believe?"
But if we say from men, the people will be angry...
...for they took John as a prophet.
We do not know.
Then neither will I tell you by whose authority I act.
Stop!
Now, we know you are an honest man.
Give us your ruling on this :
Are we or are we not permitted...
...to pay taxes to the Roman emperor?
Why, you hypocrites!
Show me the money in which the tax is paid.
Whose head is on here, whose inscription?
Caesar's.
Well then, pay Caesar what is due Caesar...
...but pay God what is due God.
What is the greatest commandment...
...of them all?
"Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul."
This is the greatest commandment of them all.
And the second is like it:
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
All the rest of the Law and what the prophets have written...
...is based on these first two.
You doctors of the Law and you Pharisees...
...sit in the chair of Moses.
But you say one thing and you do another.
Everything you do is done for show.
You like to have your places of honor at feasts and in the synagogues...
...and to be greeted respectfully and to be called "teacher."
But you must not be called "teacher."
For you have one teacher: the Messiah.
And you must not call any man on earth "Father."
For you have one Father, and you are all brothers.
And fools to forsake them
You scour the sea
Awaits you
And I send you preachers
Oh, Jerusalem!
Jerusalem...
City that stones the prophets and murders the messengers sent to her.
How often have I longed to gather your children...
...as a hen gathers her brood under her wings?
But you would not let me.
And so I tell you...
...you shall never see me until the time when you say:
"Blessing on Him who comes in the name of the Lord."
Then the man they called Judas Iscariot...
...went to the chief priests and said:
What will you give me to betray him to you?
They paid him 30 pieces of silver.
And from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity...
...to betray him.
Come on!
Where?
- Okay, come on. - Come here.
Sit next to me, okay?
Hey, that's you!
I tell you this :
One of you among us will betray me.
Could it be me, Lord?
How about me?
Could it be me?
Rabbi...
...can you mean me?
The words are yours.
Do quickly what you have to do.
Take this and eat.
Eat, for this is my body.
Take this and drink...
...for this is my blood.
The blood of the covenant, shed for the forgiveness of sins.
And I tell you...
...I shall never again drink from the fruit of the vine...
...until I drink it again with you in the kingdom of my Father.
Stay here while I go over there to pray.
My heart is ready to break with grief.
Stop here...
...and stay awake with me.
Father...
...if it be possible...
...let this cup pass me by.
Yet not as I will...
...but as Thou wilt.
What?
Could none of you stay awake with me one hour?
Stay awake and be spared the test.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!
Everyone else may fall away on your account.
But I never will.
I never will.
I tell you this!
Tonight, before the cock crows, you'll betray me three times!
Father, if it be not possible for this cup to pass me by...
...without my drinking from it...
...Thy...
...will...
...be done.
Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word God utters.
If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.
Scriptures say, "He will send angels to support you."
Thou shall not tempt the Lord your God!
All these things I will give you...
...if you will pay me homage.
Be gone, Satan!
You shall do homage to the Lord your God...
...and worship Him alone.
Friend...
...do quickly what you have to do.
Put down the sword! He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
Do you not suppose I could appeal to my Father...
...who'd at once send 12 legions of angels?
Do you take me for a bandit...
...that you come after me with swords and cudgels?
Daily I taught in the synagogue. You didn't come after me then.
But all this has happened...
...to fulfill what the prophets have written.
