But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.

But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.

Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:

But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.

But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.

But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,

And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;

But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

But what went you out to see? a man delicately clothed? Those who have fair robes are in kings' houses.

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

Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,

But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.

But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.

But if I by the Spirit of God send out evil spirits, then is the kingdom of God come on you.

So I say to you, Every sin and every evil word against God will have forgiveness; but for evil words against the Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will have forgiveness; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit, will not have forgiveness in this life or in that which is to come.

But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

Then he says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been made fair and clean.

But he in answer said to him who gave the news, Who is my mother and who are my brothers?

And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.

But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.
