"Be careful not to say anything to any one; but go and show yourself to the Priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure."

Which is easier?--to say to the paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven'? or to say 'Get up, and take up your mat, and walk about'?

"To you I say, Get up, take up your mat, and return to your home."

"You see the people pressing round you," exclaimed his disciples, "and yet you say 'Who touched me?'"

You say 'If a man says to his father or mother "Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Korban"' (which means 'Given to God')--

Afterwards Jesus and his disciples went into the villages round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples this question-- "Who do people say that I am?"

"John the Baptist," they answered, "but others say Elijah, while others say one of the Prophets."

"But you," he asked, "who do you say that I am?" To this Peter replied: "You are the Christ."

On which Jesus charged them not to say this about him to anyone.

For he did not know what to say, because they were much afraid.

"How is it," they asked Jesus, "that our Teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?"

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and people have treated him just as they pleased, as Scripture says of him."

Why say 'possibly'?" Jesus replied. "Everything is possible for one who has faith."

You know the commandments--'Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not say what is false about others. Do not cheat. Honor thy father and thy mother.'"

And, if any one says to you 'Why are you doing that?', say 'The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.'"

Then he began to teach. "Does not Scripture say," he asked, "'My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.'"

"I tell you that if any one should say to this hill 'Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!', without ever a doubt in his mind, but in the faith that what he says will be done, he would find that it would be.

And therefore I say to you 'Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.'

They began arguing together; "If we say 'divine,' he will say 'Why then did not you believe him?'

Yet can we say 'human'?"--They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a Prophet.

"Wisely answered, Teacher!" exclaimed the Teacher of the Law. "It is true, as you say, that 'there is one God,' and that 'there is no other besides him';

While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked: "How is it that the Teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David's son?

Whenever they betray you and hand you over for trial, do not be anxious beforehand as to what you shall say, but say whatever is given you at the moment; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

And at that time if any one should say to you 'Look, here is the Christ!' 'Look, there he is!', do not believe it;

And what I say to you I say to all--Watch!"

and, wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house 'The Teacher says--Where is my room where I am to eat the Passover with my disciples?'

They were grieved at this, and began to say to him, one after another: "Can it be I?"

True, the Son of Man must go, as Scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man 'it would be better never to have been born!'"

Presently Jesus said to them: "All of you will fall away; for Scripture says--'I will strike down the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to say to him.

"We ourselves heard him say 'I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and in three days build another made without hands.'"

And there the maidservant, on seeing him, began to say again to the by-standers: "This is one of them!"

As soon as it was daylight, the Chief Priests, after holding a consultation with the Councillors and Teachers of the Law--that is to say, the whole High Council--put Jesus in chains, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

But go, and say to his disciples and to Peter 'He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.'"

They went out, and fled from the tomb, for they were trembling and bewildered; and they did not say a word to any one, for they were frightened;
