Leave them! They are blind guides. If someone who is blind leads another who is blind, both will fall into a pit."

And a Canaanite woman from that district came out and began to cry out [urgently], saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David (Messiah); my daughter is cruelly possessed by a demon.”

Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

he took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, who then gave them to the crowds.

[Among] those who ate were 4,000 men, not counting women and children.

And the Pharisees and Sadducees who came, testing, demanded him to exhibit to them a sign from the sky.

Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "You who have little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you don't have any bread?

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

For he who wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

But I tell you that Elijah has already come, but they [i.e., the Jewish leaders] did not understand who he was, but [instead] did to him what they wanted to. In the same way, the Son of man will also suffer from what the Jews will do."

Then it dawned upon the disciples that it was John the Baptist about whom He had spoken to them.

When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.

And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?

He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this young child, he it is who is superior to others in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

'And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth receive me,

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

For the Son of man came to save those who were lost.]}]}

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?"

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.

When he began the accounting, one who owed him 10,000 talents was brought to him.

Whom, because he had nought to pay, his Master commanded him to be sold: and his wife, and his children, and all that he had; and payment to be made.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.

And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

So, [upon becoming husband and wife] they no longer function [entirely] as two persons, but [as] one body. Therefore, those whom God [so] joins together [in the marriage bond], no person must [ever] separate."

But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then children were brought to Jesus so that He might place His hands on them [for a blessing] and pray; but the disciples reprimanded them.

Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs."

And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

But [when] the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

Then said Peter, but we, who have left every thing to follow thee; what advantage shall we get by it?

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

But many who are first [in this world] will be last [in the world to come]; and the last, first.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

And when he went out at five o'clock he came upon some others who were standing; he said to them, 'Why have you stood doing nothing all the day?'

And when they who came to work about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

who upon the receipt of it fell a murmuring against the master, and cry'd,

saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.

So those who are last [in this world] shall be first [in the world to come], and those who are first, last.”

we are now going to Jerusalem, where the son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the Scribes, who will condemn him to die,

and turn Him over to the [unconverted] Gentiles, who will mock, whip and crucify Him; then on the third day He will be raised up."

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

But Jesus called them and said, You know that the rulers of the nations exercise dominion over them, and they who are great exercise authority over them.

two blind men sitting by the roadside heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried aloud, "Sir, Son of David, pity us."

But all this was done that the words spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, who says;

And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest.

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

And Jesus entered the temple [grounds] and drove out [with force] all who were buying and selling [birds and animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and He turned over the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the chairs of those who were selling doves [for sacrifice].

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David!" they were indignant,

and said to him, Do thou hear what these are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes! Did ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and those who suckle thou have perfected praise?

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

“What do you think? There was a man who had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’

Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, [one of] whom they beat, and [one of] whom they killed, and [one of] whom they stoned.

then he sent a greater number of servants, than at first: who met with the same treatment.

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to [another] people who will produce the fruit of it.

and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.'

Although they wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who considered Jesus to be a prophet.

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

And he sent his servants to call those who had [previously] been invited to the wedding feast, but they refused to come.

Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;

But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding celebration is ready, but those who had been invited were not worthy.

Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast.

And those slaves went out into the roads [and] gathered everyone whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding celebration was filled {with dinner guests}.

But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:

For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone.

On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,

"Teacher, Moses said [in Deut. 25:5] that when a man dies without having had any children, his brother must marry his widow and father children by her, who would [then] be considered his [dead] brother's.

Now we had living among us seven brothers; of whom the eldest married and died, and, as he had no family, left his wife for his brother.

For at the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but all who rise are as angels in Heaven.

Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,

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."

And the multitudes who heard were astonished at his teaching.

Then one of them who was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'
