And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?

And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.

And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their teachings commandments of men.

And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves to keep.

But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, It is corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by ...

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And whosoever shall be a snare to one of the little ones who believe in me, it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea.

But Jesus seeing it, was indignant, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to him, and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.

Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.

Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see it.

For many shall come in my name, saying, It is I, and shall mislead many.

But ye, take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims and to synagogues: ye shall be beaten and brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them;

And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

And pray that it may not be in winter time;

The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.

Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.

And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks to take me?

I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but it is that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.

and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
