"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a net, cast into the sea, and gathering of every kind;

Is not This the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

And His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then, hath this Man all these things?"

And they were finding in Him occasion to stumble. And Jesus said to them "a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."

And He did not perform many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

But Jesus said to them, "They have no need to go away. Give ye them to eat."

And, in the fourth watch of the night, He came to them, walking on the sea.

But Jesus straightway spake to them, saying, "Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid."

"Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands, when they eat bread!"

Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth??his defiles the man."

But He, answering, said, "Every plant which My Heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up.

Do ye not perceive that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?

these are the things which defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."

But He answered her not a word. And His disciples, coming near, were beseeching Him, saying, "Send her away; for she is crying after us!"

But He, answering, said, "I was not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

And He, answering, said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs."

And Jesus, having called His disciples near, said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest haply they faint in the way."

and in the morning, 'Today, a tempest; for red is the overcast heaven.' The face of the heaven, indeed, ye know how to discern, but the signs of the times ye can not discern.

Do ye not yet perceive, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? but beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they understood that He did not bid them beware of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah; because flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.

And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My assembly, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

And Peter, taking Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, "God be merciful to Thee! this shall not be to Thee."

But, turning, He said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! you are a stumbling-block to Me; because you are not thinking of the things of God, but the things of men."

Verily I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who will not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom."

And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said, "Arise, and be not afraid."

but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they recognized him not, but did with him whatsoever they wished: so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them."

And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not heal him."

Then the disciples, coming near, said to Jesus privately, "Why could not we cast it out?"

["But this kind goes not out, except by prayer and fasting.]

And, when they came into Capernaum, those receiving the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, "Doth not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?"

but, that we may not cause them to stumble; having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the fish first coming up; and, opening its mouth, you will find a shekel; taking that, give it to them for Me and you."

"See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that their angels in Heaven do always behold the face of My Father Who is in Heaven.

"What think ye? If a hundred sheep belong to a certain man, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety and nine on the mountains, and, going, seek the straying one?

And, if it happen that he find it, verily I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine that have not gone astray.

In like manner it is not the will of your Father Who is in Heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

but, if he hear you not, take with you yet one or two, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every word may be established.

Jesus saith to him, "I say not to you, 'till seven times,' but till seventy times seven.

And he would not; but, going away, he cast him into prison, till he should pay what was due.

Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow-servant, as I had mercy on you?'

So also will My Heavenly Father do to you, if ye forgive not, each one his brother, from your hearts."

And He, answering, said, "Did you not read that He Who made them from the beginning made them 'male and female,'

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What, therefore, God joined together, let not man put asunder."

He saith to them, "Moses, in view of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it has not been so.

The disciples say to Him, "If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."

But He said to them, "Not all can receive this saying, but those to whom it has been given;

But Jesus said, "Permit the little children??nd do not forbid them??o come to Me; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

He says to Him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness;

"But he, answering, said to one of them, 'Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denary?

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?'

But Jesus, answering, said, "Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They say to Him, "We are able."

He saith to them, "My cup, indeed, ye shall drink; but to sit on My right hand, and on My left, is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."

Not so shall it be among you;

even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His soul a ransom for many."

And, if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, 'The Lord hath need of them;' and straight-way he will send them."

And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Verily I say to you, if ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only the withering of the fig tree shall ye accomplish, but, even if ye say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea,' it shall be done.

The immersion of John??hence was it? from Heaven or from men?" And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why, then, did ye not believe him?'

And, answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."

And he, answering, said, 'I go, sir,' and he went not.

And, coming to the second, he spake in like manner; and he, answering, said, 'I am not willing;' but later, repenting, he went.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the tax-collectors and the harlots believed him; but ye, having seen him, did not even repent afterward, that ye might believe him."

And he sent forth his servants to call those who had been invited to the marriage feast, and they were not willing to come.

Then he says to his servants, 'The marriage feast, indeed is ready; but those who had been invited were not worthy;

"And he saw there a man not having on a wedding-garment;

and he says to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here, not having on a wedding-garment?' And He was speechless.

And they send to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that Thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one; for Thou dost not look into the face of men:

tell us, therefore, what thinkest Thou: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?"

Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first, marrying, died; and, not having seed, he left his wife to his brother.

But Jesus, answering, said to them, "Ye deceive yourselves, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God;

"But concerning the resurrection of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' He is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

All, therefore, whatsoever they bid you, do and observe; but do not according to their works; for they say and do not.

And they bind heavy burdens, and lay them upon the shoulders of men; but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.

But be not ye called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and all ye are brethren.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for ye do not enter, neither do ye suffer those who are entering in to enter.

"Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin; and have omitted the weightier things of the law??he judgment, and the mercy, and the faith; but these it was proper to have done, and those not to have omitted.

Blind guides! straining out the gnat, and swallowing the camel!

'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that kills the prophets, and stones those sent to her! how often did I wish to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

But, He, answering, said to them, "See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, there shall in no wise be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down."

And ye will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled, for these things must come to pass; but the end is not yet.

let him who is on the house-top not go down to take away the things out of his house;

and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.

And pray, that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath;

for then will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now; no, nor ever shall be.

Then, if any one shall say to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ!' or 'Here,' believe it not;

If, therefore, they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness;' go not forth; 'Behold, He is in the secret chambers,' believe it not,

"And, immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

Verily I say to you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things come to pass.

The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.

But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Watch ye, therefore, because ye know not in what day your Lord is coming.

But know this, that, had the householder known at what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Therefore, be ye also ready; for, in an hour that ye think not, the Son of Man is coming.

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour when he knows not,

for the foolish, taking their lamps, did not take oil with them;

But the wise answered, saying, 'Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
