"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing?

After he had sent the people away and gone into the house, his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field."

When Jesus heard it he went away privately by boat to a lonely spot; but the crowds heard about it, and followed him on foot from the cities.

Those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

and when the men of that country recognized him, they sent into all the country round about, and brought to him all the sick,

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.

While they were going down from the mountain, Jesus laid a command on them. "Speak to no man about the vision," he said, "until after the Son of man has been raised from the dead."

"Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."

Then the disciples divined that he had been speaking to them about John, the Baptist.

As they continued going from place to place in Galilee, Jesus said to them. "The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;

When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.

As they listened to his parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees recognized that he was speaking about them;

"But woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces; for you do not enter, yourselves, nor do you permit those who are about to come in, to enter.

"But no one knows about that day and hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
