Instead, let your message be "Yes' for "Yes' and "No' for "No.' Anything more than that comes from the evil one."

May your kingdom come. May your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are savage wolves.

Jesus told him, "I will come and heal him."

The centurion replied, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed,

I tell all of you, many will come from east and west and will feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom from heaven.

Because John didn't come eating or drinking, yet people say, "He has a demon!'

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest.

But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come."

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom yet doesn't understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.

but since he doesn't have any root in himself, he lasts for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, he immediately falls away.

"The owner's servants came and asked him, "Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?'

Although it is the smallest of all seeds, when it is fully grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds in the sky come and nest in its branches."

It is not what goes into the mouth that makes a person unclean. It is what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean."

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean.

It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.

When Jesus had come to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done.

So the disciples asked him, "Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

But I tell you that Elijah has already come, yet people did not recognize him and treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting."

So Jesus told him, "In that case, the subjects are exempt. However, so that we don't offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you."

because where two or three have come together in my name, I am there among them."

Jesus, however, said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to people like these."

Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

That's the way it is with the Son of Man. He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

So he sent other servants after saying, "Tell those who have been invited, "Look! I've prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!"'

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

because many will come in my name and say, "I'm the Messiah,' and they will deceive many people.

You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you aren't alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet,

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

Anyone who's on the housetop must not come down to get what is in his house,

because just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

"No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,

because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.

They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

So you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting."

But at midnight there came a shout: "The groom is here! Come out to meet him!'

"His master told him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you've been trustworthy with a small amount, I'll put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!'

"His master told him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you've been trustworthy with a small amount, I'll put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!'

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

But they couldn't find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. At last two men came forward

and saying, "You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days save yourself! If you're the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

"He saved others but can't save himself! He is the king of Israel. Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

But the others kept saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him."

Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake, because an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, approached the stone, rolled it away, and was sitting on top of it.

He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand. Indeed, his end has come.

He told them, "The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables

Some people are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

but since they don't have any roots, they last for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, they immediately fall away.

but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

Nothing is hidden except for the purpose of having it revealed, and nothing is secret except for the purpose of having it come to light.

But when the grain is ripe, he immediately starts cutting with his sickle because the harvest time has come."

when it's planted it comes up and becomes larger than all the garden plants. It grows such large branches that the birds in the sky can nest in its shade."

That day, when evening had come, he told them, "Let's cross to the other side."

Jesus had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

and begged him urgently, saying, "My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on her so that she may get well and live."

He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while he was alone on the land.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.

Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It's what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean.

All these things come from inside and make a person unclean."

If I send them away to their homes hungry, they'll faint on the road. Some of them have come a long distance."

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes with the holy angels in his Father's glory."
