"While praying do not say the same words over and over again, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that by their much speaking they will gain attention.

"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing?

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

"Or how will you say to your brother, 'Permit me to remove the mote from your eye,' when, behold, the beam is in your own eye?

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

"Many in that day will say to me, "'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name done many mighty works?'

"For I myself also am a man under authority, and I have soldiers under me. To one man I say 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

"Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?

And all the crowds were amazed, and he began to say, "Can this be the Son of David?"

"And if any man say a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in that which is to come.

When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"

They replied, "Some say 'John the Baptist'; others, however, say that 'He is Elijah'; others, 'Jeremiah,' or 'One of the Prophets.'"

"And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.

"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.

And his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."

"Because of your little faith," he answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith the size of a mustard-seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from this place to that!' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

"And if any one says anything to you, tell him, 'The Master needs them,' and he will send them without delay."

Say to the daughter of Zion, "Behold thy King cometh to thee, Gentle and sitting upon an ass, And upon a colt, the fool of a beast of burden."

In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Up, cast yourself into the sea!' it shall be done;

"If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet."

That very day there came to him some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. and they questioned him.

"Woe unto you, blind guides, who say, If any one swears by the Sanctuary, it is nothing, but if any one swears by the gold of the Sanctuary, the oath is binding.

"You say, too, that whoever swears by the offering that is upon it, his oath is binding.

"Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You rebuild the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say,

"For I tell you that never shall you see me again until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." "nor did they know until the deluge came and swept them away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

"If at that time any one should say to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' believe him not.

See, I have forewarned you! So if they say to you,

But if, because he is a bad slave, he should say to himself, 'My Master is a long time in coming,'

"'You wicked and lazy slave,' said his master. 'You say you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered?'

"Then he, the King will say to those on his right hand. "'Come, my Father's blessed ones, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

"Go into the city," he answered, "to a certain man, and tell him. "'The Teacher says. "My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover at your house, with my disciples."'"

"But I say to you, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."

"But if I did, how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say that thus it must happen?"

"It is as you say," answered Jesus; but while he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

But at three o'clock Jesus cried out in loud voice, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?" (That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")

And when they had met with the elders and conferred together, they heavily bribed the soldiers and told them to say,

"See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."

"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'?

He went on to say to them. "The secret truth concerning the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside everything is told in parables,

He went on to say. "Is the lamp brought in to be put under the bushel or the bed? Is it not rather to be put on the lamp-stand?

"You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'"

From there Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he began to question his disciples saying, "Who do people say I am?"

And they told him. "Some say John the Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

And he continued questioning them, "But you yourselves, Who do you say I am?" Peter in reply said to him, "You are Christ."

Then he strictly charged them not to say this about him to any one;

(For he did not know what to say, they were so awestruck.)

So they asked him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"But we," Peter began to say, "we have left our all and have followed you."

And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"

"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Up and hurl yourself into the sea!' and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.

Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why then did you not believe him?"

On the other hand, if we say, 'From men'!" They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that John had been really a prophet.

Then came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned him, saying.

While he was teaching in the Temple courts, Jesus in his turn asked. "How is it that the Scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

When, however, they are leading you all to trial, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but whatever is given you in that hour, that say, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

and what I say to you, I say to all. Be awake and on guard."

Follow him; and whatever house he enters, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher asks, "Where is your guest-chamber, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'

They began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one after another, "Surely, not I?"

For the Son of man is going his way, as the Scripture says, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for that man if he had never been born."

and when he returned he found them once more asleep, for their eyes were heavy with sleep, and they knew not what to say to him.

"We heard him say, 'I will tear down this temple made by hands, and in three days I will build another temple not made by hands.'"

A second time he continued to deny it. After a little the by-standers began to say to Peter again, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean."

But he began with curses an solemn oaths to say, "I do not know the man you are talking about."

Pilate questioned him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" In reply Jesus said, "It is as you say."

So John used to say to the crowd of those who were going out to be baptized by him. "You breed of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Then bring forth fruit befitting your penitence, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." I tell you that God is able to raise up sons to Abraham out of these stones.

The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him, and he began to say to them, "Today is this scripture fulfilled in your hearing."

"What is this caviling in your hearts? Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Rise and walk?"

"And no man after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, "The old is better.""

Then raising his eyes upon his disciples he began to say to them. "Blessed are you poor, For the kingdom of God is yours.

"But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

"Or how can you say to your brother. "Brother, allow me to pull that splinter out of your eye," when you do not see the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out first the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the splinter from your brother's eye.

"For I also am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me. And I say to one 'come,' and he comes, and to my slave 'do this or that,' and he does it."

and, calling a certain two disciples to him, he sent them to Jesus, to say, "Are you 'the coming one,' or if we are to expect another?"

"To What are they like, they are like children sitting in the market-place and calling to one another. "'We have piped to you,' they say, 'and you have not danced; we have wailed, and you did not cry.'

"For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'

"The son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!'

Jesus then spoke to him. "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.

Then the other guest began to say among themselves, "Who is this even to forgive sins?"

"John the Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."
