And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.

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

For ye are not who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes.

A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a bondman above his lord.

Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed, and hid, that will not be known.

And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.

Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, Behold, thy disciples do what is not permitted to do upon the Sabbath.

But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those with him,

how he entered into the house of God, and ate the loaves of the presentation, which was not permitted for him to eat, nor for those with him, except only for the priests?

Or have ye not read in the law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless?

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

And he said to them, What man of you will there be, who will have one sheep, and if this falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not grasp it, and lift it out?

And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.

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

Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.

Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understands it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable,

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind,

Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas?

And he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition.

Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man, but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

But having answered, he said, Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant, will be uprooted.

These are things defiling the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.

And I also say to thee, that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, Be merciful to thee, Lord. This will, no, not be to thee.

But having turned around, he said to Peter, Go thee behind me, Satan. Thou are my stumbling-block, because thou regard not the things of God, but the things of men.

Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And having come, Jesus touched them and said, Arise, and fear not.

What does it seem to you? If it happens a hundred sheep are with some man, and one of them went astray, after going (having left the ninety-nine on the mountains), does he not seek the one going astray?

And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you, that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.

So, it is not a purpose before your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he should not hear, take with thee one or two besides, so that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Jesus says to him, I say to thee, not until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

But of him not having to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all things, as many as he had, and payment to be made.
