And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.

But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.

But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.

But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;

And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.

But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?

But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.

But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!

The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

Who will not get much more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

And they had fear of putting any more questions to him.

And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:

For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.

And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.
