Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge,

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why do you look for the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye but ignore the board in your own eye?

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened for you.

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;

or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.

Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And when Jesus had ended these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, For he taught them as one having authority,

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him asking for help:

The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it will be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was restored to health at that very hour.

Now when Jesus saw large crowds around Him, He gave orders [i.e., to His followers] to leave for the other side [i.e., to go from the west to the east side of Lake Galilee].

Another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father (collect my inheritance).”

But Jesus answered him, "Become my follower, and let the [spiritually] dead bury them" [i.e., let a person's relatives care for their own family members until they die].

And behold, a great tempest developed in the sea, so as for the boat to be covered by the waves, but he was sleeping.

And His disciples came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Lord save us, for we are perishing: and He saith unto them,

And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, "What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!"

When he was arrived on the other side, in the country of the Gergesenes, two demoniacs met him starting out of the tombs with such fury, it was not safe for any body to pass that way.

And there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding,

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.

For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

But the crowds seeing it, were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Nor is new wine put into old wineskins [that have lost their elasticity]; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the [fermenting] wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved.”

And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux for twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.

Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers for his harvest.

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

"Brother will hand brother over for execution, and a father his child. Children will rebel against parents and have them put to death.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

and whoever shall give only a cup of cold water to the meanest of you, considering him as my disciple, shall most assuredly be far from losing his reward.

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

And blessed [joyful, favored by God] is he who does not take offense at Me [accepting Me as the Messiah and trusting confidently in My message of salvation].”

And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the people, of John, "What for to see went ye out into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken in the wind?

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

For I assure you that in the whole human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he:

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

Then he began to upbraid the towns where most of his miracles were wrought, for their not being converts.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

At that time Jesus spoke and said, "I praise thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding all this from the wise and learned and revealing it to the simpleminded;

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

About that time Jesus was walking through a grainfield on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so began picking off some heads of grain to eat [the kernels]. [Note: It was an accepted practice for people in that day to be permitted to do this as they walked along paths bordering a grainfield].
