But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:

and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.

And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God, and under what parabolic figure shall I represent it?

AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will 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:

And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell:

And as he went out to the road, a person ran to him, and kneeling down, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Then said Jesus unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, even God.

And Jesus looking round, said to his disciples, How difficultly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Then his disciples were astonished at these words. But Jesus again addressing them, said unto them, Children, how difficult is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

And Jesus addressing them, said, Render the things which are Caesar's, to Caesar; and what belongs to God, to God. And they marvelled at him.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, from not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God?
