And he called them to himself [and] was speaking to them in parables, "How can Satan expel Satan?

And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom can not stand.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house can not stand.

And if "Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he can not stand, but has an end.

But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong [man] [and] plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong [man], and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

Truly I tell you, all of mankind's sins and the abusive language that they use in speaking against God [and men] can be forgiven.

But whoever speaks abusively against the Holy Spirit can never get forgiveness, but is guilty of a sin that has no end."

And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or by what parable can we present it?

By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard-seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,

and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.

They were very much frightened, and said to one another, "Who can He be that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"

And they begged Him, "Send us among the hogs, so that we can get into them."

and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay Your hands on her so she can get well and live.”

for she kept saying, "If I can only touch His clothes, I shall get well."

Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding farms and villages [and] purchase something to eat for themselves."

But he answered, "Give them food yourselves." They said to him, "Can we go and buy forty dollars' worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"

There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.

And He answered them, "Are you too without understanding yet? Do you not know that nothing from the outside that goes into a man can make him foul,

She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yd you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

He said to her, "If you can say that, go home; the demon has left your daughter."

He looked up and said, "I can see people, for they look to me like trees, only they are moving about."

And He called the crowd to Him, along with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to be my follower, he should deny himself [i.e., of always having his own way] and accept his cross [i.e., his responsibilities, with all their difficulties] and then he can become my follower.

Jesus said to him, "If there is anything I can do! Everything is possible for him who has faith!"

And if thy hand may offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to go into life maimed, rather than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that can not be quenched.

And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched:

Everyone must be seasoned with fire. Salt is a good thing, but if salt loses its strength, how can you season it again?

Salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

For the poor you always have with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have me.

And on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go [and] prepare, so that you can eat the Passover?"

And wherever he enters a house [follow him inside and] say to the owner, 'The Teacher says, where is my guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'
