And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!"

And he said to them, "To you has been granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is in parables,

For nothing is secret except so that it may be revealed, nor has become hidden except so that it will come to light.

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

And King Herod heard [it], because his name had become known. And they were saying, "John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him."

But [when] Herod heard [it], he said, "John whom I beheaded--this one has been raised!"

And he said to her, "Because of this statement, go! The demon has gone out of your daughter."

But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him."

Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields on account of me and on account of the gospel

And Peter remembered [and] said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!"

"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
