And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did not we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.

And as these went their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

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

and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'

Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions;

And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,

And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"

And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

You hypocrites. Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

But he did not answer her a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"

Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

The disciples went, and did just as Jesus directed them,

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,

and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?'"

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from man?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'

But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,

and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.

and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

"The King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

for I was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.'

"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'

"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'

For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.

So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jewish people, and continues until this day.

And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And he said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry?he, and those who were with him?

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great crowd, when they heard what great things he did, came to him.

Without a parable he did not speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

And he did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."

And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.

He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.

Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."

"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven."

For he did not know what to say, for they became very afraid.

They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.

But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Crowds came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

He answered, "What did Moses command you?"

They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

Again he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other.

Even so, their testimony did not agree.

And the crowd went up and began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it.

They went away and told it to the rest. They did not believe them, either.

Afterward he was revealed to the Eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."

and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.

and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"

They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.

Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Son of God." Rebuking them, he did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.

Jesus, answering them, said, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored.

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for look, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

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

They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'

You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
