When the Pharisees saw this, they told him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"

But he told them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees told Jesus, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

In reply Jesus told them. "An evil and faithless generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given them except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

And someone told him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you."

But he answered [and] said to the one who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"

And in stories, by way of comparison, He told them many things, as He continued to speak: "A sower went out to sow,

He told them another story, as follows: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed seed in his field.

“‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.

“‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him.

He told them this story, as follows: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took [and] put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole [batch] was leavened."

Jesus told the crowds all this in stories, and without a story He told them nothing,

“Have you understood all these things?”

“Yes,” they told Him.

Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."

But Jesus told them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown and in his own home." He did not perform many miracles there because of their unbelief.

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

since John had told him, "You have no right to her."

And his disciples came [and] took away the corpse and buried it, and went [and] told Jesus.

“They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”

They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

"Have courage!" Jesus immediately told them. "It's me. Stop being afraid!"

Summoning the crowd, He told them, “Listen and understand:

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

Then Peter told him, "Explain to us this parable."

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

Then they understood that he had not told them to be on guard against the yeast in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Then Jesus told him, "How blessed you are, Simon son of Jonah, since flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, though my Father in heaven has.

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously.

Then Peter told Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Then understood the disciples that he told them of John the Baptist.

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

As they were meeting in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?

“From strangers,” he said.

“Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.

So Jesus told him, "In that case, the subjects are exempt. However, so that we don't offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you."

Jesus told him, "I tell you, not just seven times, but 77 times!

When his other fellows saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their Lord all that had happened.

Then his master sent for him and told him, "You evil servant! I canceled that entire debt for you because you begged me.

He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning.

But He told them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given to.

“I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack?”

Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

Then Jesus told his disciples, "I tell all of you with certainty, it will be hard for a rich person to get into the kingdom from heaven.

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the renewed creation, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel.

He told them, "You go into the vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him.

“‘You also go to my vineyard,’ he told them.

When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, starting with the last and ending with the first.’

"But he told one of them, "Friend, I'm not treating you unfairly. You did agree with me for a denarius, didn't you?

When Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and told them as they were walking along,

He asked her, "What do you want?" She told him, "Promise that in your kingdom these two sons of mine will sit on your right and on your left."

Jesus replied, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from?" They told him, "We can."

He told them, “You will indeed drink My cup. But to sit at My right and left is not Mine to give; instead, it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

The crowd told them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

told them, "Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied up and a colt with it. Untie them, and bring them to me.

So the disciples went and did as Jesus told them;

and told them, "It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers."

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?”

“Yes,” Jesus told them. “Have you never read:

You have prepared praise
from the mouths of children and nursing infants?”

Jesus told them, "Yes! Haven't you ever read, "From the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have created praise'?" Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

Seeing a fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He told it, "May fruit never come from you again!" And immediately the fig tree dried up.

Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don't doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

So they told Jesus, "We don't know." He in turn told them, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

Then the man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. And he answered, 'I will not!' But afterward he changed his mind and went.

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, tax collectors and prostitutes will get into God's kingdom ahead of you! John came to you living a righteous life, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. But even when you saw that, you didn't change your minds at last and believe him."

But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him and get his inheritance!'

“He will completely destroy those terrible men,” they told Him, “and lease his vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at the harvest.”

“Then he told his slaves, ‘The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

"Caesar's," they said. Then he told them, "Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God."

Jesus told him, ""You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”

“David’s,” they told Him.

"The Lord told my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet."'?

Then Jesus told the crowds and his disciples,

But he told them, "You see all these things, don't you? I tell all of you with certainty, there isn't a single stone here that will be left standing on top of another. They will all be torn down."

Behold, I have told you ahead of time!

"But the foolish ones told the wise, "Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out!'

"His master told him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you've been trustworthy with a small amount, I'll put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!'

"His master told him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you've been trustworthy with a small amount, I'll put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!'

When Jesus had finished saying all this, He told His disciples,

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."

So the disciples did as Jesus had told them, and prepared the passover.

Then Judas, His betrayer, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”

“You have said it,” He told him.

Then Jesus told them, "All of you will turn against me this very night, because it is written, "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

Peter told Him, “Even if everyone runs away because of You, I will never run away!”

Jesus told him, "I tell you with certainty, before a rooster crows this very night, you will deny me three times."

“Even if I have to die with You,” Peter told Him, “I will never deny You!” And all the disciples said the same thing.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Then he told them, "I'm so deeply grieved that I feel I'm about to die. Wait here and stay awake with me."

When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He told Peter, "So, you men couldn't stay awake with me for one hour, could you?

Then he came back to the disciples and told them, "You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.

But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest told him, "I command you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!"

“You have said it,” Jesus told him. “But I tell you, in the future you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
