I baptized you with water, but it is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

But Jesus rebuked him. "Be quiet," he ordered, "and come out of him!"

But when the man left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the news so widely that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people kept coming to him from everywhere.

"Why does this man talk this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"" Then he told the paralyzed man,

When Jesus heard that, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick ones do. I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees would fast regularly. Some people came and asked Jesus, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day."

How was it that he went into the House of God during the lifetime of Abiathar the high priest and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?"

Then he asked them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on Sabbath days, to save a life or to destroy it?" But they remained silent.

But he sternly ordered them again and again not to tell people who he was.

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never be forgiven, but is guilty of eternal sin."

But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they didn't have any roots, they dried up.

But others fell on good soil and produced a crop. They grew up, increased in size, and produced 30, 60, or 100 times what was sown."

He told them, "The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables

so that "they may see clearly but not perceive, and they may hear clearly but not understand, otherwise they might turn around and be forgiven.'"

but since they don't have any roots, they last for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, they immediately fall away.

but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

because whoever has something, will have more given to him. But whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."

But when the grain is ripe, he immediately starts cutting with his sickle because the harvest time has come."

But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and asked him, "Teacher, don't you care that we're going to die?"

He had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but had snapped the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one could tame him.

But Jesus wouldn't let him. Instead, he told him, "Go home to your family, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been to you."

Although she had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all of her money, she had not been helped at all, but rather grew worse.

But he kept looking around to look at the woman who had done this.

But when Jesus heard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just keep on believing."

They laughed and laughed at him. But when he had driven all of them outside, he took the child's father and mother, along with the men who were with him, and went into the room where the child was.

But Jesus strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.

They could wear sandals but not take along an extra shirt.

But when Herod heard about it, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised,"

So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she couldn't do it

But when many people saw them leave and recognized them, they hurried on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.

But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"

but when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and began to scream.

He told them, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written, "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

But you say, "If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me is Corban,"' (that is, an offering to God)

Because it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then into the sewer, thereby expelling all foods."

But he kept telling her, "First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies."

But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the puppies under the table eat some of the children's crumbs."

Jesus ordered the people not to tell anyone, but the more he kept ordering them, the more they kept spreading the news.

Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread along, but they had one loaf with them in the boat.

Do you have eyes, but fail to see? Do you have ears, but fail to hear? Don't you remember?

The man looked up and said, "I see people, but they look like trees walking around."

Then he began to ask them, "But who do you say I am?"

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, because you're not thinking God's thoughts, but human thoughts!"

because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel will save it.

Suddenly, as they looked around, they saw no one with them but Jesus alone.

They kept the matter to themselves but argued about what "rising from the dead" meant.

But I tell you that Elijah has come, yet people treated him just as they pleased, as it is written about him."

Whenever it brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. So I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they didn't have the power."

The spirit has often thrown him into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us!"

But Jesus took his hand and helped him up, and he stood up.

because he was teaching his disciples, "The Son of Man will be betrayed into human hands. They will kill him, but after being dead for three days he will be raised."

But they kept silent, because they had argued on the road with one another about who was the greatest.

"Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me."

But Jesus said, "Don't stop him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can slander me soon afterwards.

Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how can you restore its flavor? Keep on having salt among yourselves, and live in peace with one another."

But Jesus told them, "It was because of your hardness of heart that he wrote this command for you.

But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female.'

and the two will become one flesh.' So they're no longer two, but one flesh.

Some people were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus told them again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

Jesus looked at them intently and said, "For humans it's impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God."

But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first."

and they'll make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him. But after three days he'll be raised."

But Jesus told them, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized?"

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

Many people sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

Then he began to teach them: "It is written, is it not, "My house is to be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you've turned it into a hideout for bandits!"

I tell all of you with certainty, if anyone says to this mountain, "Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' if he doesn't doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

But if you do not forgive, your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins."

But if we say, "From humans'"?" They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone really thought John was a prophet.

But the farmers grabbed the servant, beat him, and sent him back empty-handed.

But those farmers told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

They were trying to arrest him but were afraid of the crowd. Realizing that he had spoken this parable against them, they left him alone and went away.

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, he should marry the widow and have children for his brother.

When people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

because all of them contributed out of their surplus, but out of her poverty she has given everything she had to live on."

But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, stop being alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet,

But first, the gospel must be proclaimed to all nations.

When they take you away and hand you over for trial, don't worry ahead of time about what you will say. Instead, say whatever is given to you at that time, because it won't be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

You will be hated continuously by everyone because of my name. But the person who endures to the end will be saved."

If the Lord had not shortened those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has shortened those days.

"But after the suffering of those days, "The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear."

"No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, not the Son, but only the Father.

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me,

because you'll always have the destitute with you and can help them whenever you want, but you won't always have me.

For the Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."

But Peter told him, "Even if everyone else turns against you, I certainly won't."

But Peter kept saying emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I'll never deny you!" And all the others kept saying the same thing.

He kept repeating, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."

All of you must stay awake and pray that you won't be tempted. The spirit is indeed willing, but the body is weak."

But one of those standing there drew his sword and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching, yet you didn't arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."

A certain young man, who was wearing nothing but a linen sheet, was following Jesus. When the men grabbed him,

Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.
