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 responded to him, "It is also written, "You must not tempt the Lord your God.'"

Then Jesus told him, "Go away, Satan! Because it is written, "You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"

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 what was said to the people in time's past [Exodus 20:13], 'You must not murder,' and whoever does will be subject to judgment.

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 what was said [Exodus 20:14], 'You must not be sexually unfaithful to your mate.'

“It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife is to give her a certificate of divorce’;

“Again, you have heard that it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but you must keep your oaths to the Lord.

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 'Yes' or 'No.' Anything that goes beyond that 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.

You, therefore, will be perfect [growing into spiritual maturity both in mind and character, actively integrating godly values into your daily life], as your heavenly Father is perfect.

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

“Also, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray [publicly] standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets so that they may be seen by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full.

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,

you must not copy them; your Father knows your needs 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.

Therefore, you must always treat other people as you would like to have them treat you, for this sums up 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.

"Here I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So you must be wise like serpents, and guileless like doves.

But when they give you up, you must have no anxiety about how to speak or what to say, for you will be told at the very moment what you ought to say,

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 tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is whispered in your ear you must shout from the 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!

said to Him, Art thou He who is coming, 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 assume either that both tree and fruit are good, or that both tree and fruit are worthless; since it is by it's fruits that a tree is known.

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;

But he answered, "Any plant that my heavenly Father did not plant must be uprooted!

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 (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.”

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Peter took Him aside [to speak to Him privately] and began to reprimand Him, saying, “May God forbid it! This will never happen to You.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow 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 his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

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

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth shall have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth shall have [already] been loosed 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?"

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 someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what [essentially] good thing shall I do to obtain eternal life [that is, eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?”

Jesus answered, “Why are you asking Me about what is [essentially] good? There is only One who is [essentially] good; but if you wish to enter into eternal life, keep the commandments.”

The young man asked Him, "Which [ones]?" Jesus answered, "You must not murder. You must not be sexually unfaithful to your mate. You must not steal. You must not give false testimony.

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your [willing and humble] 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 having no children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for his brother.'

Jesus told him, ""You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

The second is exactly like it: "You must love your neighbor as 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 you must not be called Rabbi, for One is your teacher, Christ, and you are all brothers.

And you must not call anyone on earth your father, for you have only one father, your heavenly Father.

Do not let yourselves be called leaders or teachers; for One is your Leader (Teacher), the Christ.

The person who 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 Pharisee! You must first clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside may be clean too.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, 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.

Therefore, you [who follow Me] must also be ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
