But he did not live with her as a husband until she had had a son, and he named the child Jesus.

and said, "Wake up! Take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."

But he answered, "The Scripture says, 'Not on bread alone is man to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God!' "

"You have heard that they were told, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for your persecutors,

For if you love only those who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not the very tax-collectors do that?

No slave can belong to two masters, for he will either hate one and love the other, or stand by one and make light of the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about life, wondering what you will have to eat or drink, or about your body, wondering what you will have to wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body than clothes?

But which of you with all his worry can add a single hour to his life?

But the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few that find it.

Just as he said this to them, an official came up and bowing low before him said to him, "My daughter has just died. But come! Lay your hand on her and she will come to life!"

Whoever gains his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will gain it.

Then it goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there, and in the end the man is worse off than he was before. That is the way it will be with this present wicked age."

And do not all his sisters live here among us? Then where did he get all this?"

It was then that Jesus Christ for the first time explained to his disciples that he had to go to Jerusalem and endure great suffering there at the hands of the elders, high priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised to life on the third day.

For whoever wants to preserve his own life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me will find it.

For what good will it do a man if he gains the whole world but parts with his life? What can a man give to buy back his life?

I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the Son of Man come to reign!"

and they will kill him, but on the third day he will be raised to life again." And they were greatly distressed.

"But if your own hand or your own foot makes you fall, cut it off and throw it away. You might better enter upon life maimed or crippled than keep both hands and feet but be thrown into the everlasting fire.

And if your own eye makes you fall, dig it out and throw it away. You might better enter upon life with only one eye than be thrown with both eyes into the fiery pit.

A man came up to him and said, "Master, what good deed must I do to obtain eternal life?"

But he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter that life, keep the commandments."

Honor your father and mother,' and 'You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself.' "

And anyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or land for my sake will receive many times as much, and share eternal life.

and hand him over to the heathen to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and on the third day he will be raised to life."

just as the Son of Man has come not to be waited on, but to wait on other people, and to give his life to ransom many others."

For after the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but they live as angels do in heaven.

And he said to him, " 'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind.'

There is a second like it: 'You must love your neighbor as you do yourself.'

and because of the increase of wickedness, most men's love will grow cold.

Then they will go away to everlasting punishment, and the upright to everlasting life."

As they were eating Jesus took a loaf and blessed it, and he broke it in pieces and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it. It is my body!"

But after I am raised to life again, I will go back to Galilee before you."

and made a wreath of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a stick in his hand, and knelt down before him in mockery, saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!"
