"If your brother sins against you, go and confront him while the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.

I declare unto you, "whatever things ye disallow on earth, are disallow'd by heaven: and whatever ye authorize on earth, are authoriz'd by heaven."

Again I say unto you, That if two of you are concurring upon earth, respecting any matter, which ye shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them."

But, going forth, that servant found one of his fellow-servants, who was owing him a hundred denaries; and, having laid hold of him, he was choking him, saying, 'Pay, if you are owing anything!'

and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two of them shall become one'? So they are no longer two but one.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined, then, man must not separate."

He answered them. "Not all are accepting this teaching, but only those to whom it has been granted.

There are eunuchs who have been eunuchs from their birth, there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Realm of heaven. Let anyone practice it for whom it is practicable."

But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not try to keep them from coming to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as they are."

And he said to him, "Why are you asking me about [what is] good? There is one [who is] good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!"

But Jesus looked at [them] [and] said to them, "With human beings this is impossible, but with God all [things] [are] possible."

Then Peter replied, "Well, we have left our all and followed you. Now what are we to get?"

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth: In the age when all things are renewed, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundred fold, and shall inherit eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

Many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.

And about the eleventh [hour] he went out [and] found others standing [there] and said to them, 'Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?'

they answer'd him, because we are not hired; go work then. said he, in my vineyard, and I will give you what's reasonable.

Have not I the right to do as I choose with what is mine? Are you envious because I am liberal?'

So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Behold we are going up to Jerusalem,

He said to her, "What do you want?" She said, "Give orders that my two sons are to sit at your right hand and at your left in your Realm."

But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.

He said to them, "You will drink the cup that I am to drink, but seats at my right and at my left are not mine to give, but they will be given to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

And, if any one says anything to you, you are to say this-- 'The Master wants them'; and he will send them at once."

Then Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple courts, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.

And said to them: "Scripture says??My House shall be called a house of prayer'; but you are making it 'a den of robbers.'"

And said to him: "Do you hear what these boys are saying?" "Yes," answered Jesus; "but did you never read the words--'Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast called forth perfect praise'?"

And [after] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him [while he] was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these [things]? And who gave you this authority?"

But if we say 'human,' we are afraid of the people, for every one regards John as a Prophet."

Which of the two sons did as his father wished?" " The second," they said. "I tell you," added Jesus, "that tax-gatherers and prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God before you.

Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

For many are called, but few chosen.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying: Teacher, we know that you are true, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and care not for any one: for you do not look upon the person of men.

Tell us, then, what you think. Are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?"

But Jesus, perceiving their wickedness, said, Why are ye trying me, hypocrites?

"Hypocrites! Why are you tempting me? Show me the tribute money." So they brought him a shilling.

He asked: "Whose head and title are these?"

They said to him: Caesar's. Then he said to them: Give, therefore, to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s.

And hearing they are astonished, and leaving Him, they went away.

But Jesus answered [and] said to them, "You are mistaken, [because] you do not know the scriptures or the power of God!

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

I am Abraham's God, and Isaac's God and Jacob's God.' [So], He is not God to those who are [physically] dead, but [He is] God to those who are [still] alive."

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.

The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put under your feet all those who are against you?

saying, The scribes and Pharisees are seated on the chair of Moses;

And they tie up heavy burdens and put [them] on people's shoulders, but [they] themselves are not willing with their finger to move them

All their actions are done to attract attention. They widen their phylacteries, and increase the size of their tassels,

they are fond of the best places at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues;

But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' because one is your teacher, and you are all brothers,

you are not to call anyone 'father' on earth, for One is your heavenly Father;

Nor are you to be called "Teachers,' because you have only one teacher, the Messiah!

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites I because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye go not in yourselves, nor suffer those who are entering to go in.

Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you close the kingdom of heaven in the face of men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you suffer those who are entering, to go in.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you travel around the sea and the dry [land] to make one convert, and when he becomes [one], you make him twice as much a son of hell [as] you [are]!

Woe to you, blind guides that you are! you say, 'Swear by the sanctuary, and it means nothing; but swear by the gold of the sanctuary, and the oath is binding.'

Fools that you are and blind! Which is the more important? The gold? Or the Temple which has given sacredness to the gold?

You are blind! for which is the greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You pay tithes on mint, fennel, and caraway seed, and have neglected the weightier matters of the Law--justice, mercy, and good faith. These last you ought to have put into practice, without neglecting the first.

Blind guides that you are, filtering away the gnat and swallowing the camel!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean!

In the [same] way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You build the tombs of the Prophets, and decorate the monuments of religious men,

Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets!

You serpents! You brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?

[This will be done] so that on you may fall the guilt for shedding on the ground the blood of all those innocent people, from the blood of righteous Abel to that of Barachiah's son Zachariah, whom you murdered between the Sanctuary and the Altar [i.e., in the Temple area].

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together {the way} a hen gathers her young together under [her] wings, and you were not willing!

Jesus left the temple area and was going on His way when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the [magnificent and massive] buildings of the temple.

But, he, answering, said unto them - Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you - in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.

And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.

And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.

But all these [things] [are] the beginning of birth pains.

"At that time they will deliver you up to punishment and will put you to death; and you will be objects of hatred to all the nations because you are called by my name.

When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (he that readeth, let him understand;) Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains:

then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

and a man on the housetop must not go down to get the things that are in his house;

And woe to those {who are pregnant} and to those who are nursing [their babies] in those days!

Learn the lesson taught by the fig tree. As soon as its branches are full of sap, and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.

I declare unto you, the present generation shall not cease, till all these things are pass'd.

Wherefore, ye also, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are, not thinking, The Son of Man doth come.

And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;

Then at midnight someone shouted, 'Look, the [bride and] groom are here. Come on, let us go out and meet them.'

And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Give us [some] of your olive oil, because our lamps are going out!'

His master replied, 'Well done, you are a good and trustworthy servant. You have been trustworthy over a [relatively] few things, so I will place you over many things. Come and share in your master's joy.'

Then the man who had received the two thousand came up and said, 'Master, you turned over to me two thousand dollars; here are two thousand more I made.'

His master said to him, 'Well done, you are a good and trustworthy servant. You have been trustworthy over a [relatively] few things, [so] I will place you over many things. Come and share in your master's joy.'

And the one who had received the one talent came up also [and] said, 'Master, [because I] knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter [seed].

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
