But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'

He said to them, "What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won't he grab on to it, and lift it out?

But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

for this people's heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.'

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn't understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

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

"What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn't he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart."

He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

"They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.'

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

"Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.

Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.

However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.

Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

The angel answered the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --

If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can't stand, but has an end.

but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"

-- because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."

He said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."

The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."

For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."

But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."

He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."

He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead."

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

One of the multitude answered, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;

Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

"Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.

Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."

He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
