But I tell you, that a greater than the temple is here:

and if ye had known what that scripture means, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice," ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

they asked Him, if it were lawful to heal on the sabbath-days? that they might accuse Him.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant whom I have chosen,

Then was brought to Him a demoniac, who was blind and dumb; and he healed Him, so that the blind and dumb man both spake and saw:

He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

and if any one speak against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him: but if any one speak against the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this life, nor in that to come.

but I tell you, that of every idle word, which men shall speak, they shall give an account in the day of judgement; for by thy words thou shalt be justified,

but He replied and said unto them, This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:

So that the men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold a greater than Jonas is here.

then saith he, I will return into my house, that I came out of; and when he cometh, he findeth it empty, swept, and set off to advantage:

then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and so the last state of that man is worse than the first. And thus shall it be to this wicked generation.

But in answer to him that told Him, He said, "Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?"

and many people were gathered together to bear Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down, and all the multitude stood upon the shore; and He spake to them many things in parables,

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

for whosoever really hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundantly; but whosoever thus hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away from him:

for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard them.

and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.

And he who received the seed as upon stony grounds, is one that heareth the word and immediately receiveth it with joy:

And he that received the seed among the thorns, is one that likewise heareth the word; but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choketh the word, and so it becometh unfruitful.

But he who received the seed into good ground, is one that heareth and understandeth the word, who indeed beareth fruit, and yieldeth, like fertile lands, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.

And he said unto them, Some enemy hath done this. The servants therefore said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Which is indeed one of the lest of all seeds: but when it is grown, is the greatest among herbs, and even becometh a tree; so that the birds of the air come and lodge in it's branches.

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

and He answered them, and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

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

the Son of man will send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all that commit offences, and those who do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire,

But the righteous shall then shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field, which a man having found conceals, and being rejoiced at it goes and sells all that he has, and purchases that field.

who, having found one of great value, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and inclosed fishes of various sorts;

and came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus,

but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed him as a prophet.

that he promised her with an oath to give her whatever she would ask:

Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and buy themselves victuals.

Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.

And the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;

and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.

For God commanded saying, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:

but ye say, If any man say to his father or mother, "that which thou mightest be profited by from me is a gift to the temple,"

not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this polluteth the man.

Whereupon his disciples came and said to Him, Dost thou know that the pharisees, when they heard this assertion, were offended at it?

Do ye not yet know, that whatever goeth into the mouth passeth to the belly and is discharged downwards?

yet the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.

Then Jesus answering, said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it therefore unto thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that very hour.

And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them.

So that the people wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed become sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Now they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah. And so He left them and went away.

How is it then that ye do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, when I bid you to beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees?

Then they understood, that He did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the pharisees and of the sadducees.

And when Jesus came into the parts of Cesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?

But, saith He unto them, whom do ye say that I am?

Then charged He his disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Messiah.

And from that time began Jesus to acquaint his disciples, that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death, and be raised again on the third day.

But He turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence to me; for thou regardest not the things of God, but those that be of men.

for he that would save his life shall lose it; but he that would lose his life for my sake shall find it.

And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come?

But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.

Then the disciples understood that He spake to them of John the baptist.

Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.

but that we may not give them offence, go to the sea-side and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and open its mouth, and thou shalt find a piece of money: that take and give them for me and thee.

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

but whosoever shall lay a stumbling-block in the way of one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hung on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.

Wo will be to the world from such offenses; for it is of necessity that offenses come: but wo to that man by whom the offense cometh.

See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I tell you, that their angels in heaven do continually appear in the presence of my father, who is in heaven:

for the Son of man came from thence to save that which was lost.

What think ye? if any man had an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, would he not leave the ninety and nine, and go upon the hills, and seek that which is gone astray?

And if he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more on account of that, than of the ninety nine which went not astray.

Even so it is not the will of your heavenly Father, that any one of these little ones should be lost.

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

And I tell you moreover, that if but two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing which they would ask for, it shall be granted them by my Father who is in heaven:

and not having it to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had; and payment to be made.

But that same servant, as he was going out, met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him but an hundred pence; and he laid hold on him and seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest me:

Now when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very much grieved, and came and acquainted their lord with all that had passed.

Then his lord called for him again, and said to him, Thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that vast debt at thy request,

And his lord being highly provoked delivered him to the officers, till he should pay all that was owing to him.

And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He, who made them at first, made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,

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

and I tell you, that whosoever putteth away his wife, except for whoredom, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he that marrieth her so put away committeth adultery.

for there are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.

Then were brought to Him little children, that He might put his hands upon them, and bless them: and the disciples rebuked them;

And behold, there came one to Him, and said, Good master, what good shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

And He said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou desirest to enter into life, keep the commandments.

But when the young man heard that, he went away sorrowful; for he had large possessions.

Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I tell you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven:

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I tell you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon the twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel:

But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.

but when the first came, they thought that they should receive more; and they also received every one a penny.

And He said unto her, What dost thou desire? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdom.

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask: are ye able to drink of the cup which I am going to drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

They replied, We are able. And He saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; 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.

but Jesus called them to Him and said, Ye know that the princes of the gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority upon them:

and behold, two blind men siting by the way-side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

And the people rebuked them, that they might hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

They answered Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion,

and the multitudes, that went before and that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
