And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

And the news of it went out into all that land.

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.

But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.

Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.

At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, See, your disciples do that which it is not right to do on the Sabbath.

But I say to you that a greater thing than the Temple is here.

And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

So that what was said by Isaiah the prophet might come true,

Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will have forgiveness; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit, will not have forgiveness in this life or in that which is to come.

And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.

Then he says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been made fair and clean.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

On that day Jesus went out of the house and was seated by the seaside.

And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.

And that which went on the stones, this is he who, hearing the word, straight away takes it with joy;

And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit.

And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?

But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.

That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field.

And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?

At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

With the request that they might only put their hands on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

Not that which goes into the mouth makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of the mouth.

Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?

Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth goes on into the stomach, and is sent out as waste?

Then Jesus, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

He says to them, But who do you say that I am?

And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word that he was the Christ.

From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.

And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.

And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.

And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

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

A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.

But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.

But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.

So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.

Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,

So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.

They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?

Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.
