He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

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

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

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

When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."

Blessed is he who is not offended by me."

"For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."

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

They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'

When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"

You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

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

He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."

His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."

They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.

A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,

When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."

But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."

When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."

As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.

I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."

But they did not understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."

Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."

They did not receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

And he turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know of what kind of spirit you are.

For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men?s lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.

If a peaceful person is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?

I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.

"He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.

Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.

When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?

But woe to you Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them do not know it."

Woe to you Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."

But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

"Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;

He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."

He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.

If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.

Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

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

Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."

then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.

That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

You hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?

Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?

If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"

The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites. Does not each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?

Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' then he will answer and tell you, 'I do not know you or where you come from.'

He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

And note this, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

Jesus, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

They could not answer him regarding these things.

"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

"If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'

Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
