But [as] he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary [as] your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,

And he came [and] lived in a town called Nazareth, in order that what was said by the prophets would be fulfilled: "He will be called a Nazarene."

in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,

"You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, by what will it be made salty? It is good for nothing any longer except to be thrown outside [and] trampled under foot by people.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not the tax collectors also do the same?

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is remarkable? Do not the Gentiles also do the same?

But you, [when you] practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows {what you need} before you ask him.

"For this [reason] I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body [more than] clothing?

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?,'

For by what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and by what measure you measure out, it will be measured out to you.

"Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls in front of pigs, lest they trample them with their feet, and turn around [and] tear you to pieces.

Or what man is [there] among you, [if] his son will ask him [for] bread, will give him a stone?

in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, "He himself took away our sicknesses, and carried away our diseases."

And the men were astonished, saying, "What sort of [man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"

And behold, they cried out, saying, "{What do you have to do with us}, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

But go [and] learn what it means, "I want mercy and not sacrifice." For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

But whenever they hand you over, do not be anxious how [to speak] or what you should say, for what you should say will be given to you at that hour.

What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Go [and] tell John what you hear and see:

Now [as] these were going away, Jesus began to speak 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 dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings.

"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another,

But [when] the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, "Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!"

So he said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him,

And if you had known what {it means}, 'I want mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

But he said to them, "What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift [it] out?

Then to what degree [is] a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath."

in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,

For whoever has, to him [more] will be given, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous [people] longed to see what you see, and did not see [it], and to hear what you hear, and did not hear [it]!

[When] anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand [it], the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown on the side of the path.

And what was sown on the rocky ground--this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

And what was sown into the thorn plants--this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unproductive.

But what was sown on the good soil--this is the one who hears the word and understands [it], who indeed bears fruit and produces, this one a hundred [times as much], and this one sixty, and this one thirty."

in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, who said, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden since the creation."

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth--this defiles a person."

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to {what he has done}.

He said, "Yes." And [when he] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes--from their own sons, or from foreigners?"

What do you think? If {a certain man has} a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go [and] look for the one that wandered away?

But he did not want to, but rather he went [and] threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."

And behold, someone came up to him [and] said, "Teacher, what good [thing] must I do so that I will have eternal life?"

And he said to him, "Why are you asking me about [what is] good? There is one [who is] good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!"

The young man said to him, "All these I have observed. What do I still lack?"

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

Take [what is] yours and go! But I want to give to this last [person] [the same] as [I gave] to you also.

Is it not permitted for me to do whatever I want with [what is] mine? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?'

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom."

But Jesus answered [and] said, "You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only [what was done to] the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will happen!

And [after] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him [while he] was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these [things]? And who gave you this authority?"

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "I also will ask you one question. If you tell [the answer] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

"Now what do you think? A man had two sons. [He] approached the first [and] said, 'Son, go work in the vineyard today.'

Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?"

And they sent their disciples to him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and {you do not care what anyone thinks}, {because you do not regard the opinion of people}.

Therefore tell us what you think. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,

saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "David's."

And [as] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know what day your Lord is coming!

But understand this: that if the master of the house had known what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

And [because I] was afraid, I went away [and] hid your talent in the ground. See, you have [what is] yours!'

Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and [when I] returned I would have gotten back [what was] mine with interest!

For to everyone who has, [more] will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."

[and] said, "What are you willing to give me if I in turn deliver him to you?" So they set out for him thirty silver coins.

And the high priest stood up [and] said to him, "Do you reply nothing? What are these [people] testifying against you?"

Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have just now heard the blasphemy!

What do you think?" And they answered [and] said, "{He deserves death}!"

But he denied [it] in the presence of [them] all, saying, "I do not know what you mean!"

Then [when] Judas, the one who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted [what he had done] [and] returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders,

saying, "I have sinned [by] betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What [is that] to us? You see to [it]!"

Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, who said, "And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who had been priced, [on] whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel,

Pilate said to them, "What then should I do [with] Jesus, the one who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

And he said, "Why? What wrong has he done?" But they began to shout even louder, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

And they were all amazed, so that [they began] to discuss with one another, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him."

And the Pharisees began to say to him, "Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?"

And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

And he said to them, "Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you.

For whoever has, [more] will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."

And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or by what parable can we present it?

And crying out with a loud voice he said, "{What have I to do with you}, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me!"

And he was asking him "{What is your name}?" And he said to him, "My name [is] Legion, because we are many."

And their herdsmen fled and reported [it] in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened.

And those who had seen [it] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.

So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

But Jesus, ignoring {what was said}, told the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid--only believe!"

And [when] the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard [him] were amazed, saying, "Where did this man [get] these [things]? And what [is] this wisdom that has been granted to this man, and the miracles such as these performed through his hands?
