Word went all through Syria about him, and people brought to him all who were suffering with any kind of disease, or who were in great pain??emoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics??nd he cured them.

You are the light of the world! A city that is built upon a hill cannot be hidden.

You must not swear by your own head, for you cannot make one single hair white or black.

but store up your riches in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and where thieves cannot break in and steal them.

No slave can belong to two masters, for he will either hate one and love the other, or stand by one and make light of the other. You cannot serve God and money.

And the men were amazed and said, "What kind of man is this? For the very winds and sea obey him!"

Have no fear of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. You had better be afraid of one who can destroy both soul and body in the pit.

But when the Pharisees heard of it they said, "This man cannot drive out demons except by the aid of Beelzebub, the prince of the demons."

But he knew what they were thinking, and he said to them, "Any kingdom that is disunited is on the way to destruction, and any city or household that is disunited cannot last.

Therefore, I tell you, men will be forgiven for any sin or abusive speech, but abusive speech about the Spirit cannot be forgiven.

And whoever speaks against the Son of Man will be forgiven for it, but whoever speaks against the holy Spirit cannot be forgiven for it, either in this world or in the world to come.

He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it cannot pass by me without my drinking it, your will be done!"

Do you suppose I cannot appeal to my Father, and he would at once furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

Give orders, therefore, to have the tomb closely guarded till the third day, so that his disciples cannot come and steal him, and then tell the people that he is risen from the dead, and that delusion be worse than the other was."

Jesus said to them, "Can wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

If a kingdom is disunited, that kingdom cannot last.

And if a household is disunited, that household cannot last.

And if Satan has rebelled against himself and become disunited, he cannot last but is coming to his end.

But others said he was Elijah, and still others that he was a prophet of the old prophetic kind.

He said to them, "This kind of thing can be driven out only by prayer."

If your hand makes you fall, cut it off. You might better enter upon life maimed, than go with both your hands to the pit, into the fire that cannot be put out.

The high priests too made sport of him to one another with the scribes and said, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself!

When the devil had tried every kind of temptation he left him till another time.

But love your enemies, and help them and lend to them, never despairing, and you will be richly rewarded, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked.

How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, just let me get that speck out of your eye,' when you cannot see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First get the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see to get out the speck in your brother's eye.

and he answers from inside, 'Do not bother me; the door is now fastened, and my children and I have gone to bed; I cannot get up and give you any.'

So if you cannot do the least good, why should you worry about the rest?

Sell what belongs to you, and give away the money! Get yourselves purses that will never wear out, inexhaustible riches in heaven, where thieves cannot get near nor moths destroy.

Then you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the upright."

Another said, 'I have married, and so I cannot come.'

"If anyone comes to me without hating his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and his very life too, he cannot be a disciple of mine.

Or else when he has laid his foundation and cannot finish the building, everyone who sees it will begin to ridicule him,

And if he cannot, while the other is still far away, he sends envoys to him and asks on what terms he will make peace.

So he called him in and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Make an accounting for your conduct of my affairs, for you cannot be manager any longer!'

Then the manager said to himself, 'What am I going to do, because my master is going to take my position away from me? I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

The man who can be trusted in a very small matter can be trusted in a large one, and the man who cannot be trusted in a very small matter cannot be trusted in a large one.

No servant can belong to two masters, for he will either hate one and love the other, or he will stand by one and make light of the other. You cannot serve God and money!"

Besides there is a great chasm set between you and us, so that those who want to go over from this side to you cannot, and they cannot cross from your side to us.'

For they cannot die again; they are like the angels, and through sharing in the resurrection, they are sons of God.

And Pilate said to the high priests and the crowd, "I cannot find anything criminal about this man."

Jesus answered, "I tell you, if a man does not owe his birth to water and spirit, he cannot get into the Kingdom of God.

John answered, "A man cannot get anything unless it is given to him from heaven.

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you, the Son cannot do anything of his own accord, unless he sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

I cannot do anything of my own accord. I pass judgment just as I am told to do, and my judgment is just, for I am not seeking to do what I please, but what pleases him who has sent me.

Then he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die in the midst of your sin. You cannot come where I am going."

So the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself, and is that why he says, 'You cannot come where I am going'?"

Why is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

And Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge men, that those who cannot see may see, and that those who can see may become blind."

If those to whom God's message was addressed were called gods??nd the Scripture cannot be set aside??36 do you mean to say to me whom the Father has consecrated and made his messenger to the world, 'You are blasphemous,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see, you cannot do anything! The whole world has run after him!"

He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.

Jesus answered, "You cannot understand now what I am doing, but you will learn by and by."

My children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but, as I said to the Jews, where I am going you cannot follow,

Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "I am going where you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me later."

Peter said to him, "Master, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

It is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot obtain that Spirit, because it does not see it or recognize it; you recognize it because it stays with you and is within you.

You must remain united to me and I will remain united to you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains united to the vine, you cannot unless you remain united to me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Anyone who remains united to me, with me united to him, will be very fruitful, for you cannot do anything apart from me.

I have much more to tell you, but you cannot take it in now,

He said this to show the kind of death by which Peter was to honor God; and after he had said it he said to Peter, "Follow me!"

They said, "What are we to do with these men? For it is plain to everyone in Jerusalem that an extraordinary wonder has been done by them. We cannot deny that.

for we cannot help telling of what we have seen and heard."

But??ot to detain you too long?? beg you to be kind enough to give us a brief hearing.

and they cannot sustain the charges they have just made against me.

We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me? You cannot kick against the goad!'

but Paul said to the officers and the soldiers, "You cannot be saved unless these men stay on board."

They revel in every kind of wrongdoing, wickedness, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and ill-nature.

For I know that nothing good resides in me, that is, in my physical self; I can will, but I cannot do what is right.

For to be physically minded means hostility to God, for it refuses to obey God's law, indeed it cannot obey it.

Those who are physical cannot please God.

The rest became callous; as the Scripture says, "God has thrown them into a state of spiritual insensibility, with eyes that cannot see and cars that cannot hear, that has lasted down to this day."

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; Make their backs bend forever under their burden!"

A material man will not accept what the Spirit of God offers. It seems mere folly to him, and he cannot understand it, because it takes spiritual insight to see its true value.

Immorality is actually notorious among you, and immorality of a kind unknown even among the heathen??hat a man has taken his father's wife.

A wife cannot do as she likes with her own person; it is her husband's; and in the same way a husband cannot do as he likes with his own person; it is his wife's.

I should like to have everyone be just as I am myself; but each one has his own special gift from God, one of one kind, and one of another.

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be on fire with passion.

As far as preaching the good news is concerned, that is nothing for me to boast of, for I cannot help doing it. For I am ruined if I do not preach.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot eat at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.

But while I am on this subject, I cannot approve of your meetings, because they are doing you more harm than good.

The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," or the head to the feet, "I do not need you."

Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious or boastful. It does not put on airs.

But someone will say, "How can the dead rise? What kind of a body will they have when they come back?"

and God gives it just such a form as he pleases, so that each kind of seed has a form of its own.

Flesh is not all alike; men have one kind, animals another, birds another, and fish another.

There are heavenly bodies, and there are earthly bodies, but the beauty of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is of another.

The sun has one kind of beauty, and the moon another, and the stars another; why, one star differs from another in beauty.

But I can tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, and decay will not share in what is imperishable.

All this comes from God, who through Christ has reconciled me to himself, and has commissioned me to proclaim this reconciliation??19 how God through Christ reconciled the world to himself, refusing to count men's offenses against them, and intrusted me with the message of reconciliation.

For even if I did hurt your feelings with that letter, I cannot regret it; even if I did regret it, when I saw that the letter had hurt your feelings perhaps for a while,

I beg you not to make me take as bold an attitude when I come, as I count on taking toward some people who suspect me of acting from worldly motives.

For I cannot do anything against the truth, but only for it.

My point is this: An agreement already ratified by God cannot be annulled and its promise canceled by the Law, which arose four hundred and thirty years later.

That kind of persuasion never came from him who called you!

For the physical cravings are against the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are against the physical; the two are in opposition, so that you cannot do anything you please.

for they have become callous, and abandoned themselves to sensuality, greedily practicing every kind of vice.

You must be kind to one another, you must be tender-hearted, and forgive one another just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

in order to bring the church to himself in all her beauty, without a flaw or a wrinkle or anything of the kind, but to be consecrated and faultless.

Use every kind of prayer and entreaty, and at every opportunity pray in the Spirit. Be on the alert about it; devote yourselves constantly to prayer for all God's people
