"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

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

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.

And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with impure hands?"

Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, to the fire that shall never be quenched.

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

who will not receive a hundredfold now in this timehouse and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come, eternal life.

After this he went out, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me."

Then Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there were a great number of tax collectors and others sitting at table with them.

Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"

Woe to you who are full now, for you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

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

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For he is kind to the ungrateful and evil.

What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

When they had nothing with which to pay him back, he freely forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?"

And the ones that fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.

And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live."

But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has everlasting life.

I am the bread of life.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."

So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
