And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

But a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, was left at his gate.

and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.

"But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral.

And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.'

But he said - I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father's house, -

But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone rises from the dead.'"

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Be on your guard! If your brother does wrong, reprove him; but if he repents, forgive him.

But if he may sin against thee seven times a day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

But the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye had said to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup on, and gird thyself and serve me that I may eat and drink; and after that thou shalt eat and drink?

And so with you--when you have done all that you have been told, still say 'We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.'"

and put forth their voices, and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."

But one of them, [when he] saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

Then He told the disciples: “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t see it.

They will say to you, ‘Look [the Messiah is] there!’ or ‘Look [He is] here!’ Do not go away [to see Him], and do not run after them.

But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life'shall preserve it.

I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

He put forth a similitude unto them, signifying that men ought always to pray, and not to be weary,

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

But the Lord said, I fear what the unjust judge says.

I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

Jesus also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves, thinking they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else:

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?"

But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.

You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

But he said, "I have kept all these commandments ever since I was a child."

But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.

But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;

But those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

"But we," said Peter, "we left what belonged to us and followed you."

For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

But the disciples understood none of these things [about the approaching death and resurrection of Jesus]. This statement was hidden from them, and they did not grasp the [meaning of the] things that were said [by Jesus].

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not see because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

But when Jesus reached the spot he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down at once, for I must stay at your house to-day."

But all the people who saw this began to complain: "Jesus is going to be the guest of a notorious sinner!"

But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return him fourfold.

But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done.

And another came, saying, 'Sir, behold your mina, which I had put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.

Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

"'By your own words,' he replied, 'I will judge you, you bad servant. You knew me to be a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:

Then why did you not [at the very least] put my money in a bank? Then on my return, I would have collected it with interest.’

And he said to those standing by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him that has ten minas,??25 and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas,??26 for I tell you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away;

“But they said to him, ‘Master, he has 10 minas.’

I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

But as they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?

And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on it.

And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.

But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.

And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

and they could not find anything that they could do, for all the people [stayed close to Him and] were hanging on to every word He said.

"I also will put a question to you, "He said;

But they began arguing together: "If we say 'divine,' he will say 'Why did not you believe him?'

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

Then began he to put forth to the people this similitude, "A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to farmers, and went himself into a strange country for a great season.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

And he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded [and] threw out this one also.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

And driving him out of the garden they put him to death. Now what will the lord do to these workmen?

He will come and put these tenants to death and will give the vineyard to others.” When the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders heard this, they said, “May it never be!”

But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

The scribes and the chief priests tried to [find a way to] arrest Him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the people; because they understood that He spoke this parable against them.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

They were not able to seize on anything He said in the presence of the people; and being unnerved at His reply, they were silent.
