He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey -- no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic.

But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They replied, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish -- unless we go and buy food for all these people."

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he was saying.

Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up, Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem.

He sent messengers on ahead of him. As they went along, they entered a Samaritan village to make things ready in advance for him,

Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

On that same occasion Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

What father among you, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?

Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

Others, to test him, began asking for a sign from heaven.

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but not finding any. Then it says, 'I will return to the home I left.'

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, "This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

"But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, rue, and every herb, yet you neglect justice and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others.

so that this generation may be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,

So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God."

For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.

And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you people of little faith!

Then Jesus told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'

and a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely.

Then shouldn't this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be released from this imprisonment on the Sabbath day?"

But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!'

It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.'"

The master commended the dishonest manager because he acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their contemporaries than the people of light.
