“A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she refused to be comforted,
Because they were no more.”

If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet.

Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.”

How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”

For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed.

When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.

In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.

The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’

“Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.’

“For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the more, saying, “Crucify Him!”
