He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

A crushed reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish, until he brings justice to victory.

And in his name the Gentiles will hope.

But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

And if Satan expels Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

And if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel [them]? For this [reason] they will be your judges!

Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.

And then he will plunder his house. He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

For this [reason] I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven!

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the coming one!

Make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for by its fruit you will get knowledge of the tree.

You brood of vipers! how can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.

But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment!

For by your words you will be vindicated, and by your words you will be condemned."

Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, 'Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.'

But he answered [and] said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation desires a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah!

For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, [something] greater than Jonah [is] here!

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, [something] greater than Solomon [is] here!

Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' And [when it] arrives it finds [the house] unoccupied and swept and put in order.

Then it goes and brings along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and [they] go in [and] live there. And the last [state] of that person becomes worse than the first. So it will be for this evil generation also!"

For whoever does the will of my Father [who is] in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother."

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.

therefore speak I to them in parables: because they over-look what they see: and are inattentive to what they hear, neither will they comprehend.

and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, "{You will listen carefully} and will never understand, and {you will look closely} and will never perceive.

For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.

"To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.

But while the world was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed wild wheat seed in the midst of the good seed, and went away.

And when the wheat plants grew up and yielded their ripened grain, the wild wheat plants appeared too.

And the farmer's slaves came up to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then where did the wild wheat plants come from?'

And he said to them, A man that is an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it up?

And he said, 'No, never, for while you are gathering the wild wheat plants you might root up the good ones with them.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the season of the harvest I will tell the reapers, "First gather the darnel and tie it into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my storehouse." '"

It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it is grown it is the largest of plants; yea, it grows into a tree, so that the wild birds come and roost in its branches."

Jesus said all this to the crowds in parables; he never spoke to them except in a parable ??35 to fulfil what had been said by the prophet, I will open my mouth in parables, I will speak out what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.

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."

Then He left the crowds and went into His house. And His disciples came up to Him and said, "Explain to us the story of the wild wheat in the field."

the field is the world; the good seed are the members of the kingdom; the wild wheat seed are the followers of the wicked one.

Thus just as the darnel is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

The Son of Man will send out his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all the causes of sin and those who do lawless deeds,

and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear!

Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous

and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.

And he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition.

And he answered [and] said, "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

Let them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great is thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

On leaving that place, Jesus went to the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and then went up the hill, and sat down., you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill 'Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!' it would be done.

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the people, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nought to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting lest they perish in the way."

And the disciples said to Him, "Where will we get enough loaves of bread to feed a large crowd in [such] a deserted place [as this]?"

So he answered [and] said to them, "[When] evening comes you say, '[It will be] fair weather because the sky is red,'

and early in the morning, 'Today [it will be] stormy weather, because the sky is red [and] darkening.' You know how to evaluate correctly the appearance of the sky, but you are not able [to evaluate] the signs of the times.

An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Jonah!" And he left them [and] went away.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it!

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven."

And Peter took him aside [and] began to rebuke him, saying, {God forbid}, Lord! This will never happen to you!"

Jesus then said to his disciples. "If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it.

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}.

Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

So Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good [that] we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And while they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man will rise from the dead.

And he answered [and] said, "Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all [things].

But I say to you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they pleased: likewise will also the Son of man suffer by them.

And Jesus answered [and] said, "O unbelieving and perverse generation! {How long} will I be with you? {How long} must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

And he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here [to] there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men:

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were extremely distressed.

But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast [a line with] a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And [when you] open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that [and] give [it] to them for me and you."

and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become like young children, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven!

He therefore who will make himself lowly as this child, this man is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

And whoever will receive one such child in my name receives me.

"It will be too bad for the world because of occasions that cause people to fall away [from God]! For it is inevitable that such occasions come, but it is too bad for that person who is responsible for causing it to happen.

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?

And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

In the [same] way it is not the will {of} your Father [who is] in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

But if thy brother shall sin against thee, go and tell him his fault, between thee and him alone: if he will hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.

"Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.

Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father [who is] in heaven.

Then Peter came up to him [and] said, "Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?"

'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,

Then the slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to do obeisance to him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!'

Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to implore him, saying, 'Be patient with me and I will repay you!'

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!"

and said, 'On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

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

He said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, and that is, God: But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!

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

And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that in the renewal [of the world], when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me--you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

But many [who are] first will be last, and the last first.

And to those [people] he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.'
