Then the devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, order this stone to turn to a loaf of bread."

But Jesus answered him, "The Scripture says, 'Not on bread alone does man live.'"

After this He went out and saw a tax-collector named Levi in his seat at the tax-collector's desk, and He said to him, "Follow me."

Then Levi gave a great reception for Him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax-collectors and others who were at table with them.

Then Jesus said to them, "Is it right on the Sabbath to do people good, or to do them evil, to save life or to take it?"

Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be completely satisfied! Blessed are you who are weeping now, for you will laugh!

A curse on you who live in luxury now, for you will be hungry. A curse on you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

Now if you practice loving only those who love you, what credit do you get for that? Why, even notorious sinners practice loving those who love them.

If not, what did you go out there to see? A man dressed in silks and satins? No. People who dress gorgeously and live luxuriously are found in royal palaces.

Since they could not pay him, he graciously canceled the debts for both of them. Now which one of them will love him more?"

And the portion of them falling among the thorns illustrates those who hear it, but as soon as they pass on they are choked out by the worries and wealth and pleasures of life, and thus yield no mature fruit.

I solemnly say to you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the kingdom of God."

Just then an expert in the law got up to test Him by asking, "Teacher, what shall I do to get possession of eternal life?"

Then he answered, "You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength, and your whole mind, and your neighbor as you do yourself."

He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Continue to do this, and you will live."

But a curse on you Pharisees, because you pay tithes on mint, rue, and every tiny garden herb, but neglect justice and the love of God! These latter especially you ought to have done, but ought not to have neglected the former.

And then He said to them, "Be ever on the alert and always on your guard against every form of greed, because a man's life does not consist in his possessions, even though they are abundant."

Then He said to His disciples: "Stop worrying, then, about life, as to what you will have to eat, or about your body, as to what you will have to wear.

Your life is worth more than food, and your body more than clothes.

But we just had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found.'"

No house-servant can be a slave to two masters, for either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

"Once there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and live in dazzling luxury every day.

Whoever tries to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it.

Then a certain member of the council asked Him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to get possession of eternal life?"

who will not receive in return many times more in this world, and in the next eternal life."

He is not the God of dead but of living people, for all live to Him."

for all the rest of them made their contributions out of their surplus, but she out of her want dropped in all that she had to live on."

Then He took a loaf, gave thanks, and broke it in pieces, and gave it to them, and said, "This is my body which is to be given for you. Do this as a memorial to me."
