Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,

And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.

And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire.

So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.

So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.

So that what was said by Isaiah the prophet might come true,

Make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for by its fruit you will get knowledge of the tree.

And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.

That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.

And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.

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

And seeing a fig-tree by the wayside, he came to it, and saw nothing on it but leaves only; and he said to it, Let there be no fruit from you from this time forward for ever. And straight away the fig-tree became dry and dead.

And when the disciples saw it they were surprised, saying, How did the fig-tree become dry in so short a time?

And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.

Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.

Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;

Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?

But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.

Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.
