Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

Tell us, therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?"

But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken [in your reasoning], not knowing [what] the Scriptures [teach] or [how much] power God has.

But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him - David's.

He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,

If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son?

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door to the kingdom from heaven in people's faces. You don't go in yourselves, and you don't allow those who are trying to enter to go in.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You devour widows' houses and say long prayers to cover it up. Therefore, you will receive greater condemnation!

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make a single convert, and when this happens you make him twice as fit for hell as you are.

"How terrible it will be for you, blind guides! You say, "Whoever swears an oath by the sanctuary is excused, but whoever swears an oath by the gold of the sanctuary must keep his oath.'

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your mint, dill, and cummin, but have neglected the more important matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but on the inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people's bones and every kind of impurity.

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.

You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together {the way} a hen gathers her young together under [her] wings, and you were not willing!

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

"How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!

They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes!

and held a counsel, how they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him. How terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."

How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen in this way?"

And Peter followed Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest's home; he even went inside and was sitting among the attendants to see how it would end.

And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?"

How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.

and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.

As soon as it was day, all the chief priests and senators of the people consulted measures against Jesus how they might put him to death.

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many [things] they are testifying against you?"

Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead.

Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make [it] as secure as you know how."

This is [how] the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, began.

said he, how you take the least notice of this to any man: but go, show your self to the priest, and offer for your cure what Moses commanded, that this may serve as a testimony against them.

"How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"

Now the disciples of John and the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of John and the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"

upon which the Pharisees said to him, pray observe how they trespass on the sabbath-day.

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

And the Pharisees went out, and straight away made designs with the Herodians about how they might put him to death.

And from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard how many things he did, came to him.

And turning to them, he said to them in the form of a story, How is it possible for Satan to put out Satan?

And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?

And consider, said he, how you hear; for in proportion as you weigh what is communicated to you, new light shall be given:

And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.

And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?

And he said to them, Why are ye thus fearful? how is it ye have not faith?

And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

And having become Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, saying, How are these things in this man? and, What is the wisdom that was given to him, and such mighty works happen by his han

The apostles returned and met Jesus and reported to Him everything, how many things they had done and taught.

And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

When He saw how distressed His disciples were, rowing against an opposing wind, Jesus came to them between three and six o'clock in the morning, walking on the water, and almost walked past them.

So the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law asked Jesus this question--"How is it that your disciples do not follow the traditions of our ancestors, but eat their food with defiled hands?"

"How skilful you are," he said to them, "in nullifying what God has commanded in order to observe what has been handed down to you.

He said to them, "So you do not understand, either? Do you not see how nothing outside a man can defile him by entering him?

So the people were overwhelmingly dumbfounded, and kept saying, "How wonderfully He has done everything! He even makes deaf people hear and dumb people talk."

And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

"When also [broke] the seven [loaves] for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?

And he began to teach them, how that the son of man must suffer many things, and should be reproved of the elders and of the high priests and scribes, and should be killed, and after three days arise again.

Then Peter spoke, and said to Jesus, "Master, how good it is that we are here! Let us put up three huts, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

(Peter didn't know how to respond, because they were terrified.)

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me. And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him, and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?

where their worm [that feeds on the dead] does not die, and the fire is not put out.

Everyone must be seasoned with fire. Salt is a good thing, but if salt loses its strength, how can you season it again?

Salt is good; but if the taste goes from it, how will you make it salt again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

at this they were more amazed than before, and said to one another, how then can such a man be saved?

Jesus, however, called them to Him and said to them, "You are aware how those who are deemed rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men make them feel their authority;

Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

How blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

And he taught, saying unto them, "Is it not written, how that my house shall be called 'The house of prayer unto all nations?' But ye have made it a den of thieves."

And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching.

then they contriv'd how they might seize him, for they perceived, that he applied the parable to them; but for fear of the people they left him, and went away.

Jesus said to them, "Is not this the reason that you are [so] mistaken, that you do not know [what] the Scriptures [teach] or [how much] power God has?

But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

Then one of the scribes came near and heard the Sadducees arguing with one another. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of them all?"

When Jesus saw how wisely the man answered, he told him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.

And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.

And He departing out from the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, Teacher, behold, how great stones and how great buildings!

"How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:

And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

For the Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."

then he return'd and found them still sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they did not know how to give an answer.

And the highest priest stood up amongst them all, and asked Jesus saying, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?"

You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
