And his mother answered and said, No, but he shall be called John.

But Mary kept all these sayings, meditating in her heart.

But they, supposing Him to have been in the company, went a day's journey. And they looked for Him among the kinsfolk and acquaintances.

And He went with them and came to Nazareth, and He was subject to them. But His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

John answered all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water, but He who is mightier than I comes, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,

whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor and will gather the wheat into His storehouse. But He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.

But Herod the tetrarch (being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done)

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written that "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God."

But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.

But Elijah was not sent to any of them, except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon, to a woman, a widow.

But passing through the midst of them, He went away.

And He saw two boats standing by the lake. But the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

And He commanded him, Tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But the word about Him spread even more. And great crowds were coming to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities by Him.

But He was drawing back in the wilderness, and praying.

But knowing their thoughts, answering, Jesus said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralytic, I say to you, Arise, and take up your cot and go to your house.

But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against His disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with tax-collectors and sinners?

And Jesus answered and said to them, Those who are sound do not need a physician, but those who are sick.

I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.

And they said to Him, Why do John's disciples fast often and make prayers, and also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?

But He said to them, Can you make the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.

But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved together.

But He knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up and stand in the middle. And he arose and stood.

But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.

The disciple is not above his master, but everyone who is perfect shall be like his master.

And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but do not see the beam that is in your own eye?

But he who hears and does not perform, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, on which the stream burst, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.

Then Jesus went with them. But He being yet not far off from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, do not trouble Yourself. For I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come to You; but say a word, and my servant will be healed.

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed with soft clothing? Behold, those in splendid clothing and being in luxury are in kings' palaces.

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

For I say to you, Among those who are born of woman there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized by him.

But wisdom has been justified by all her children.

But seeing this, the Pharisee who had invited Him, spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, for she is a sinner.

And He turned to the woman and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, yet you gave Me no water for My feet. But she has washed My feet with tears, and has wiped them with the hair of her head.

You gave Me no kiss, but this woman, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with ointment.

Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, he loves little.

And He said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. But to others I speak in parables, so that seeing they might not see and hearing they might not understand.

But those on the good ground are the ones who, in an honest and good heart, having heard the Word, keep it and bring forth fruit with patience.

And no one lighting a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch; but he sets it on a lampstand so that those who enter in may see the light.

But as they sailed, He fell asleep. And a storm of wind came onto the lake. And they were being filled with water and were in jeopardy.

And He going out onto land, He met a certain man out of the city, who had had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, nor stayed in a house, but among the tombs.

And the man out of whom the demons had gone out begged Him, desiring to be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as He went, the people thronged Him.

But when Jesus heard, He answered Him, saying, Do not fear, only believe and she shall be healed.

And all were weeping and bewailing her. But He said, Do not weep; she has not died, but sleeps.

And her parents were astonished. But He charged them to tell no one the thing that happened.

And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see Him.

But knowing this, the crowds followed Him. And He received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and He healed those who had need of healing.

But the day began to wear away, and coming up the Twelve said to Him, Send the crowd away so that they may go into the villages and farms all around, and lodge, and get food. For we are here in a deserted place.

But He said to them, You give them something to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.

Answering, they said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah, and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.

He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Answering, Peter said, The Christ of God.

For whoever will save his life shall lose it, but whoever will lose his life for My sake, he shall save it.

But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God.

But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep. But fully awakening, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But as all were marveling at all things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

But they did not understand this, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it. And they feared to ask Him of this word.

But He turned and rebuked them and said, You do not know of what spirit you are.

For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save. And they went to another village.

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

And He said to another, Follow Me! But he said, Lord, first allow me to go and bury my father.

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.

And another also said, Lord, I will follow You, but first allow me to take leave of those in my house.

Then He said to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send forth laborers into His harvest.

But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgment than for you.

But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

But a certain traveling Samaritan came upon him, and seeing him, he was filled with pity.

But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she came to Him and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.

But one thing is needful, and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

But some of them said, He casts out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons.

But knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And a house divided against a house falls.

But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, no doubt the kingdom of God has come on you.

But when one stronger than he comes, he overcomes him. He takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and he distributes his arms.

But He said, No; rather, blessed are they who hear the Word of God and keep it.

But the crowds pressing on Him, He began to say, This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, or under a grain-measure, but on a lampstand, so that they who come in may see the light.

The light of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is sound, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but your inward part is full of plunder and wickedness.

But give alms of such things as you have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to leave the other undone.

But I will warn you of whom you shall fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear Him.

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.

But he who denies Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

But rather seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

But if that servant says in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to beat the male servants and women servants, and to eat and drink and to be drunk,

But he not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am pressed down until it is accomplished!

Do you suppose that I have come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
