Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,

Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'

And the men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

And suddenly they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.

But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

And as these went their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

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

"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Look, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions;

But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent.

And he said to them, "What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won't he grab on to it, and lift it out?

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;

And what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"

12 "What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

"But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'

So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart."

And just then someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? No one is good but one. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

The young man said to him, "All these things I have observed. What do I still lack?"

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

Then Peter answered, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"

Is not it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?'

He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."

But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?'"

Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"

Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

They answered Jesus, and said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"

Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

saying, "What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of David."

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there is not enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'

I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'

Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."

He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?

The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"

What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."

But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."

saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."

But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."

saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
