and early in the morning, 'Today [it will be] stormy weather, because the sky is red [and] darkening.' You know how to evaluate correctly the appearance of the sky, but you are not able [to evaluate] the signs of the times.

An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Jonah!" And he left them [and] went away.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it!

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven."

And Peter took him aside [and] began to rebuke him, saying, {God forbid}, Lord! This will never happen to you!"

Jesus then said to his disciples. "If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it.

For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to {what he has done}.

Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

So Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good [that] we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And while they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man will rise from the dead.

And he answered [and] said, "Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all [things].

But I say to you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they pleased: likewise will also the Son of man suffer by them.

And Jesus answered [and] said, "O unbelieving and perverse generation! {How long} will I be with you? {How long} must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

And he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here [to] there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men:

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were extremely distressed.

But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast [a line with] a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And [when you] open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that [and] give [it] to them for me and you."

and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become like young children, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven!

He therefore who will make himself lowly as this child, this man is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

And whoever will receive one such child in my name receives me.

"It will be too bad for the world because of occasions that cause people to fall away [from God]! For it is inevitable that such occasions come, but it is too bad for that person who is responsible for causing it to happen.

What do you think? If {a certain man has} a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go [and] look for the one that wandered away?

And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

In the [same] way it is not the will {of} your Father [who is] in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

But if thy brother shall sin against thee, go and tell him his fault, between thee and him alone: if he will hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.

"Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father [who is] in heaven.

Then Peter came up to him [and] said, "Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?"

'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,

Then the slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to do obeisance to him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!'

Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to implore him, saying, 'Be patient with me and I will repay you!'

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!"

and said, 'On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

And behold, someone came up to him [and] said, "Teacher, what good [thing] must I do so that I will have eternal life?"

He said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, and that is, God: But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that in the renewal [of the world], when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me--you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

But many [who are] first will be last, and the last first.

And to those [people] he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.'

They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever would be right ye will receive.

And the first, having come, thought that they will receive more; and they also received thereupon a drachma.

Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:

is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because I am good?

Thus the last will be first and the first last."

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock [him] and flog [him] and crucify [him], and on the third day he will be raised."

And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak the word that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom.

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

It will not be like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;

And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

saying to them, "Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie [them] [and] bring [them] to me.

And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, 'The Lord {needs them},' and he will send them at once."

Now this will happen in order to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

[Zech. 9:9], 'You should tell the daughter of Zion [i.e., the people of Jerusalem], look, your King is coming to you. He is gentle and [will be] riding on a donkey, [even] on a colt, the offspring of the donkey.'"

And he said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!"

and said to him, do you hear what they say? yes, said Jesus; have ye never read, "out of the mouth of babes and sucklings I will make a consort of praise?"

After noticing a fig tree by the road he went to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, "Never again will there be fruit from you!" And the fig tree withered at once.

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only [what was done to] the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will happen!

And whatever you ask in prayer, [if you] believe, you will receive."

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "I also will ask you one question. If you tell [the answer] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'from men,' we are afraid the crowd will oppose us because they all consider John to be a prophet."

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.

And [he] approached the second [and] said the same [thing]. So he answered [and] said, 'I [will], sir,' and he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, tax collectors and prostitutes will get into God's kingdom ahead of you! John came to you living a righteous life, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. But even when you saw that, you didn't change your minds at last and believe him."

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

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.

When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?

They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

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

When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

for in the other life after this, there will be no such thing as marriage; but they will be as the angels of God in heaven.

All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.

They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them

And the greatest among you will be your servant.

And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you shut the Realm of heaven in men's faces; you neither enter yourselves, nor will you let those enter who are on the point of entering.

But woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. Because of this ye will receive greater condemnation.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make a single convert, and when this happens you make him twice as fit for hell as you are.

"How terrible it will be for you, blind guides! You say, "Whoever swears an oath by the sanctuary is excused, but whoever swears an oath by the gold of the sanctuary must keep his oath.'

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your mint, dill, and cummin, but have neglected the more important matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but on the inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

You blind Pharisees! First wash the inside of the cup and dish, so [then] the outside will be clean also.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people's bones and every kind of impurity.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.

And you will fill up the measure that your fathers filled.
