But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

And with these words he gave them teaching, saying,

Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,

And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:

Are all these things now clear to you? They say to him, Yes.

And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?

And his sisters, are they not all with us? from where, then, has he all these things?

And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?

These are the things which make a man unclean; but to take food with unwashed hands does not make a man unclean.

And at these words the disciples went down on their faces in great fear.

But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.

Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.

Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.

And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?

But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

Saying, These last have done only one hour's work, and you have made them equal to us, who have undergone the hard work of the day and the burning heat.

Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?

And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

And Jesus said to them in answer, I will put one question to you, and if you give me the answer, I will say by what authority I do these things.

And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.

All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation

But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

But all these things are the first of the troubles.

Even so, when you see all these things, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.

Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.

And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?
