Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see all these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand what you are to say. But say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

"When you see 'the abomination of desolation' standing where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

And let him who is in the field not go back to get his cloak.

Pray that it may not happen in winter.

For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, he is there!' do not believe it.

"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

"But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.

Watch thereforefor you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people."

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.

For the Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

Truly, I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

Peter said to him, "Even if all fall away, I will not."

Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you that this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

But he spoke more vehemently, "If I have to die with you, I will not deny you!" And they all said the same.

And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me; yet not what I will, but what you will."

Then he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

And when he came again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree.

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands.'"

And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

And in that region there were shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

And he said to them, "Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"

But they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.

Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

And even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

John answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

But Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"

And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."

And demons also came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men."

When they could not find a way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.

And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

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

He told them a parable also: "No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old one; if he does, he will tear the new garment, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

Jesus answered them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

how he entered the house of God, took and ate the consecrated bread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?"

In those days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.

To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic.

Give to everyone who asks of you, and from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? You hypocrite!

But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

Therefore I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

You gave me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet from the time I came in.

You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
