But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

But when John's messengers had gone, He began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the desert to gaze at? A reed that is tossed to and fro by the wind?

But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings courts.

But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.

They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.

But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children.

But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;

and took her stand behind Him at His feet, continually weeping. Then she began to wet His feet with her tears, but she continued to wipe them off with the hair of her head, and she kept right on kissing His feet with affection and anointing them with the perfume.

But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful.

But, addressing him, Jesus said: "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Pray do so, Teacher," Simon answered; and Jesus began:

but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them their debt: say, which of them therefore will love him most?

And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

but they who sat at table with him, began to ask one another, who is this, that pretends even to forgive sins?

But He said to the woman, "It is your faith that has saved you; go on in peace."

some fell upon very stony ground, which no sooner sprung up, but it wither'd away, for want of moisture:

some fell among thorns; but the thorns over-grew it, and starv'd it.

but some of the corn fell into good soil, and grew up, yielding a hundred grains for one. then raising his voice he concluded with these words, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

But his disciples began to question him - What might, this very, parable be?

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

But the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.

And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

But the [seed] on the good soil--these are the ones who, [after] hearing the word, hold fast to [it] with a noble and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.

And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

improve therefore what you hear: for he that improves what he has, shall have more; but he that does not, shall lose even that, which he thinks he possesses.

His mother and His brothers came to see Him, but they could not get in touch with Him, on account of the crowd.

But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."

But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water , and were in jeopardy.

and coming to him they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said to them, "Where [is] your faith?" But they were afraid [and] were astonished, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water and they obey him?"

And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs.

But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not.

For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

but there being a numerous herd of swine feeding on the mountain, they desired he would permit them to enter into the swine, which he granted.

But they that fed them, seeing what had happened, fled, and told it to the city and to the country.

But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

"Go back to your home, and continue to tell what great things God has done for you." But he went off and told all over the town what great things Jesus had done for him.

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.

Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but could not be healed by anyone.

but could not be healed by any, came close behind Him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux was stopt.

And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?

But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

but he said to her, daughter, don't be under any concern: your faith has sav'd you, go in peace.

But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.

And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.

And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.

and he said to them make no provision for your journey: take neither staff, nor sack, nor bread, nor money; and but one coat for each.

But Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead,

And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured.

But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

for they were about five thousand. but Jesus said to his disciples, make them sit down by fifties in a company.

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others'say , Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no man;

as He said, "The Son of Man has to endure great suffering and be disowned by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes, and be put to death but be raised to life on the third day."

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it happened, as the two men were leaving Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is [so] good for us to be here. Let us make three [small] shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." [But] he did not realize what he was saying. [See note at Matt. 17:4]

But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

but a voice came from the cloud, "This is my Son, my Chosen one; listen to him."

And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. But the apostles kept quiet [about this incident], and did not tell anyone at that time about anything they had seen.

he is frequently seized by a spirit, which makes him immediately roar, then throws him into convulsions with foaming, and never leaves him, but with difficulty and bruises.

And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

But a thought entered among them, which of them may be greater.

But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

But John, answering, said - Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons, - and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

But they would not have him there, because he was clearly going to Jerusalem.

But he turned, and rebuked them.

The son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went to another town.

And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

But whatever house ye come into, first say, Peace be to this house:

And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.

But remain in the same house, eating and drinking such as they have; for the laborer is worthy of his hire.

But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,

Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.

The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me. But the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."
