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.

Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! For this reason it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.

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.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the South will come up in the day of judging and give her decision against this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now a greater than Solomon is here.

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.

And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire.

And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire.

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.

And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.

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?

And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to 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 again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

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.

And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be open.

Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.

Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally clean.

So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.

And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.

And say a prayer that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;

Even so, when you see all these things, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.

But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.

But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

A blessing on that servant, who will be doing so when his lord comes.

But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming;

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

After that the other virgins came, saying, Lord, Lord, let us in.

And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.
