Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.

But he said in answer, Every plant which my Father in heaven has not put in the earth, will be taken up by the roots.

But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.

He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

Take what is yours, and go away; it is my pleasure to give to this last, even as to you.

But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?

They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.

A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.

And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible.

He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.

And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is

His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

And when did we see you wandering, and take you in? or without clothing, and give it to you?

Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?

Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

Which is the simpler, to say to a man who is ill, You have forgiveness for your sins, or, Get up, take up your bed, and go?

And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.

And he said to them, Take care what you give ear to: in the same measure as you give you will get, and more will be given to you.

He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.
