But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed; and no city or house divided against itself can stand.

If Satan casts out Satan he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they changed their minds at the preaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.

Then it goes and takes with itself seven other spirits worse than itself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation.

And he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

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

and as he sowed, some fell by the way, and the birds came and devoured it.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says; Hearing you shall hear and not understand, and seeing you shall see and not perceive;

When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and takes away the seed sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way.

He that received seed on the rocky places is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy

but has no root in himself, but is only a temporary [disciple]; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he is immediately offended.

And he that received seed among thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

But he that received the seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, who also bears fruit, and produces some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty-fold.

And he delivered them another parable, saying; The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field;

He spoke another parable to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened.

Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the poisonous darnel of the field.

And he answered and said to them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;

the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one;

the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the world; and the reapers are angels.

As, therefore, poisonous darnel is collected and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the world.

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which a man found, and concealed, and went away with joy, and sold all that he had and bought that field.

Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, and collecting [fish] of every kind,

Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

And are not his sisters all with us? Whence then has this man all these things?

And they were offended with him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his native country, and in his own house;

and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is raised from the dead; and on that account the mighty works are performed by him.

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

And he wished to kill him; but feared the people, because they regarded him as a prophet.

And Peter answered and said to him, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.

and requested of him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were entirely cured.

Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophecy of you, saying;

This people honors me with the lips, but their heart is far from me.

And Peter answered and said to him, Explain the parable to us.

Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is cast out on the earth?

And behold, a woman of Canaan from those regions came out and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is badly affected with a demon.

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

But he answered and said, It is not right to take the children's bread and cast to the dogs.

Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it to you as you wish; and her daughter was cured from that hour.

And Jesus calling his disciples, said, I pity the multitude, for it is now three days that they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat; I will not dismiss them fasting lest they faint by the way.

But his disciples said to him, Whence shall we obtain so much bread in the wilderness as to fill so great a multitude?

But he answered and said to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather for the sky is red;

and in the morning, It will rain to-day for the sky is red and lowering. You know how to distinguish the face of the sky, but you cannot distinguish the signs of the times.

But they reasoned within themselves, saying, It is because we have not taken bread.

And Jesus coming into the parts of Cesarea Philippi, asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his life? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he render to every one according to his doing.

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments were white as the light.

And when they went down from the mountain Jesus charged them, saying, Tell no man the vision till the Son of man is raised from the dead.

But I tell you Elijah has come already, and they knew him not, but did to him what they pleased. In like manner, also, the Son of man is about to suffer from them.

Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers greatly. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

And as they were returning in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

AT that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

If your hand or foot offends you, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame, or crippled, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life having one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

What think you? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain, and go and seek for the lost one?

The disciples said to him, If the case of a man is thus with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.

And he said to them, All do not receive this word, but those to whom it is given.

For there are eunuchs from birth, who were born so from their mother; and there are eunuchs who are made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive [this doctrine] let him receive it.

But Jesus said, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

And he said to him, Why do you ask me of the good? one is the good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.

Honor your father and mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

and he said to them, go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went.

They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard.

saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

Take what belongs to you, and go, for I will give to the last even as to you.

Is it not right for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?

He said to them; you shall drink indeed of my cup; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.
