And she will have a son, and you must name Him Jesus, for it is He who is to save His people from their sins."

"You must repent [i.e., change your hearts and lives], for the kingdom of heaven will soon be here."

But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”

Jesus said to him, "Again the Scripture says, 'You must not try the Lord your God.'"

Then Jesus said to him, "Be gone, Satan! For the Scripture says, 'You must worship the Lord your God, and serve Him alone.'"

From that time onward Jesus began to preach, saying, "You people [must] repent [i.e., change your hearts and lives], for the kingdom of heaven is near."

Your light must burn in that way among men so that they will see the good you do, and praise your Father in heaven.

"You have heard that it was said to the men of old, 'You must not murder,' and 'Whoever murders will have to answer to the court.'

whoever maligns his brother must come before the San hedrin, whoever curses his brother must go to the fire of Gehenna.' But I tell you, whoever is angry with his brother [without cause] will be sentenced by God.

"You have heard it was said, 'You must not commit adultery.'

"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'

"Again, you have heard that it was said to the men of old, 'You must not swear falsely, but you must perform your oaths as a religious duty.'

I, however, say to you that you must not swear at all, either by Heaven, since that is God's throne,

You must not swear by your own head, for you cannot make one single hair white or black.

But your way of speaking must be a simple 'Yes' or 'No.' Anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

I, however, say to you that you must not resist wrong; but, if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also;

"You have heard that it was said, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

Therefore, you must [attempt to] be complete, just as your heavenly Father is [already] complete.

But when you give to charity, your own left hand must not know what your right hand is doing,

"Also, whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to attract the attention of people. I solemnly say to you, they already have their reward.

But whenever you, follower of mine, pray, you must go to your most private place, shut the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.

And whenever you pray, you must not keep on repeating set phrases, as the heathen do, for they suppose that they will be heard in accordance with the length of their prayers,

So then you must not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

So this is the way you must pray: Our Father in heaven, Your name be revered.

"Also whenever you fast, you must not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they put on a gloomy countenance, to let people see them fasting. I solemnly say to you, they already have their reward.

but if your eyesight is bad, your whole body will be dark. If however the very light within you is darkness, how dense must the darkness be!

But you must make his kingdom, and uprightness before him, your greatest care, and you will have all these other things besides.

"You must never give the things that are sacred to dogs, and you must never throw your pearls before hogs, for fear they might trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.

Then you must practice dealing with others as you would like for them to deal with you, for this is the summing up of the law and the prophets.

You must recognize them by their fruits. People do not pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles, do they?

So you must recognize them by their fruits.

Then Jesus said to the captain, "Go; it must be done for you as you have believed." And his servant-boy was cured that very hour.

You must go and learn what the saying means, 'It is mercy, not sacrifice, that I care for.' I did not come to invite the pious but the irreligious."

And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bride-chamber are not able to fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them. But the day will come, when the bride-groom must be taken from them, and then they will fast.

he said, "You must go away, for the girl is not dead; she is asleep." And they laughed at him.

Then He touched their eyes, and said, "In accordance with your faith it must be done for you."

Keep on curing the sick, raising the dead, healing lepers, and driving out demons. You received and gave no pay; you must give and take none.

"Listen! I am sending you out as sheep surrounded by wolves. So you must be sensible like serpents and guileless like doves.

But when they turn you over to the courts, you must not worry at all about how or what you ought to speak, for it will be given you at that hour what you ought to speak.

So you must never be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, nor a secret that will not be known.

What I speak to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear whispered in your ears, you must proclaim from housetops.

You must never be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. But rather you must keep on fearing Him who can destroy both soul and body in the pit.

You must not be afraid; you are worth more than a great many sparrows!

art thou he that was to come, or must we expect another?

So, if Satan drives Satan out, he must be divided against himself; and how, then, can his kingdom last?

And if I am driving out demons by the help of Beelzebub, by whose help are your sons driving them out? So they must be your judges.

But, if it is by the help of the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon you.

"You must either make the tree healthy and its fruits healthy or make the tree sickly and its fruits sickly, for a tree is judged by its fruit.

I tell you that for every careless thing that men say, they must answer on the 'Day of Judgment.'

"You must listen closely then to the figure of the sower.

He said to them, "Then remember that every scribe who has become a disciple of the Kingdom of Heaven must be like a householder who can supply from his storeroom new things as well as old."

He told his servants, "This must be John, the Immerser; he has risen from the dead and [that explains how] these powers can work through him [i.e., Jesus]."

"They need not go away," replied Jesus; "you yourselves must give them something to eat."

For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'The one who speaks evil of father or mother {must certainly die}.'

But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might profit you, is a gift, he must in no way honor his father or his mother;

He answered, "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant must be rooted up.

Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, wonderful is your faith! You must have what you want." And her daughter was cured at that very moment.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you forbid on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven."

From that time [on] Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many [things] from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

And Peter took Him aside and began to chide Him, as he said, "Heaven shield you, my Lord! This must never be your lot!"

Then Jesus said to His disciples: "If anyone wants to be my disciple, he must say 'No' to self, put his cross on his shoulders, and keep on following me.

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and there was a voice from the cloud that said-- "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight; him you must hear."

And the disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so also must 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 as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men:

Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!

I solemnly say to you, whatever you forbid on earth must be already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth must be already permitted in heaven.

Then Peter advancing to him, said, Lord, if my brother injures me, how many injuries must I forgive him? must I forgive him seven?

and said, 'For this reason a man must leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two of them must be one!'

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

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

And He answered him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only One who is perfectly good. But if you want to get into that life, you must practice keeping the commandments."

He asked Him, "What sort of commandments?" Jesus answered, "You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not lie,

You must practice honoring your father and mother. And you must love your neighbor as you do yourself."

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

and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be your slave--

and said to them, "The Scripture says, 'My house must be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave for robbers."

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the [response of the] crowd; for they all regard John as a prophet.”

"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother must marry his widow and raise up a family for him.'

And He answered him, "'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind.'

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

So you must observe and do whatever they tell you. But do not do what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.

But as for you, you must not seek for others to call you 'Teacher,' for you have but one who is 'Teacher,' and you are all brothers.

And you must not call anyone on earth 'father,' for the Heavenly One is your Father.

And you must not be called 'leaders,' for you have only one Leader, and that is Christ.

Whoever is greatest among you must be your servant.

"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.'

Again you say, "Whoever swears an oath by the altar is excused, but whoever swears by the gift that is on it must keep his oath.'

Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law--justice and mercy and faith. These things must be done, and not neglecting t

You blind Pharisees! You must first clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside may be clean too.

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.

And this good news of the kingdom must be preached all over the inhabited world, for a testimony to all the heathen, and then the end will come.

As soon, then, as you see 'the Foul Desecration,' mentioned by the Prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place," (the reader must consider what this means)

"then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

The one who is on his housetop must not come down to take things out of his house,

and the one who is in the field must not turn back to pick up his cloak.

So when you see all these things, you must know that he is just at the door.

So you must be on the watch, for you do not know on what day your Master is coming.

For this [reason] you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think [he will come].
