And he said, 'To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?

As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth;

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

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.

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

And he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'
