Or have you not read in the law, that the priests profane the sabbath in the temple, and are blameless?

But I tell you that here is an object greater than the temple.

and behold a man having a withered hand [was there]. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

How much then is a man better than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do good on the sabbath.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying;

THEN a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb spoke and saw.

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

And if one speaks a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but if one speaks against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven him either in this life or in that to come.

But I tell you, that for every idle word which men speak they shall render an account in a day of judgment;

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?

AND on that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.

He that has ears let him hear.

For I tell you truly, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see what you see and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear and have not heard it.

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

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.

which is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest of plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and lodge on its branches.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things which have been concealed from the foundation of the world.

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

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

The Son of man will send his angels, and they shall collect out of his kingdom all offenses, and all that commit wickedness,

Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.

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.

who, finding one very costly, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

And he said to them, Every scribe therefore that is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who casts out of his treasury things new and old.

and coming to his native country he taught them in their synagogues, so that they were astonished and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these mighty works?

AT that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

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.

And when it was evening his disciples came to him, saying, The place is solitary, and the hour is already past; dismiss the multitudes that they may go to the villages and buy themselves food.

and those that eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the men of that place knew him, they sent to all the country around, and brought to him all that were sick,

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

For God said, Honor your father and mother; and he that reviles father or mother, let him surely die.

Not that which enters into the mouth, defiles the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth that defiles the man.

Then the disciples came to him, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?

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

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.

so that the multitude wondered, seeing the dumb talk, the crippled sound, the lame walk, and the blind see; and they glorified the God of Israel.

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.

And they all eat and were filled; and they took up the fragments that remained, seven store-baskets full.

Why do you not understand that I spoke to you not of bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

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

And he said to them, Who say you that I am?

And I tell you that you are Peter [a rock], and upon this rock will I build my assembly, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

Then he charged his disciples to tell no man that he was the Christ.

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and raised on the third day.

I tell you truly, that some of those standing here shall not taste death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And the disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.

And Jesus said to them, On account of your unbelief. For I tell you truly, if you have a faith like a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed thence to that place, and it shall be removed; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

but that we may not offend them, go to the lake, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and opening its mouth you will find a stater [56 cents]. Take that and give it to them, for me and you.

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

and said, I tell you truly, that if you do not turn and become like little children, you can by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.

but whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone should be hung to his neck, and that he should be plunged into the depths of the sea.

Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must necessarily come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

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.

See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I tell you that their angels always behold the face of my Father in heaven.

And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which were not lost.

So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he does not hear you, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established;

I tell you truly, that whatever you bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you unbind on the earth shall be unbound in heaven.

Again, I tell you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any thing for which they shall ask, they shall have it from my Father in heaven;

And he having nothing to pay, the lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

And the lord of that servant having compassion on him released him, and forgave him the debt.

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred denarii [$14], and seizing him, he choked him, saying, Pay what you owe me.

Then his fellow-servants seeing what was done, were greatly displeased, and went and related to their lord all things that were done.

Then his lord called him, and said to him, Evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you besought me [to do it].

And he answered and said, Have you not read that the Creator at the beginning made them male and female?

So that they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has yoked together, let not man separate.

And I tell you, that whoever puts away his wife, except for adultery, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her that is put away, commits adultery.

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.

Then little children were brought to him that he should put his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

And behold one came and said to him, Teacher, what good [work] shall I do that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you truly, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of heaven with difficulty.

And again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to them, I tell you truly, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, shall yourselves also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

And those who came first supposed that they should receive more. And they also received a denarius [14 cents] each;

And he said to her, What do you wish? She said to him, Say that these my two sons shall sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in your kingdom.

But Jesus called them to him, and said, You know that the rulers of the gentiles exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them; but it shall not be so among you.

And behold two blind men who sat by the way, hearing that Jesus was passing by cried, saying, Have mercy on us Lord, Son of David!

They said to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

and if any one asks you why, say that the Lord has need of them, and he will immediately send them.

But all this was done that the words spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, who says;

and the multitudes that went before, and those that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the brokers, and the seats of those that sold doves,

and said to him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes. Have you never read, that out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, you have perfected praise?

Jesus answered and said to them, I tell you truly, that if you have faith and doubt not, you shall not only do this of the fig tree, but if you should say to this mountain, Be taken up and be cast into the sea, it would be done;

Which of the two did the will of the father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them, I tell you truly, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in a way of righteousness, and you believed him not; but the publicans and harlots believed him; and when you saw this, you did not afterwards repent, that you might believe him.

Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them in the same manner.

I tell you, therefore, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation yielding its fruits.

And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing his parables, knew that he spoke of them;

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and care not for any man; for you regard not the face of men.
