Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.

Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."

Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."

Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

But when they deliver you up, don't be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

"Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man has come.

Therefore don't be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

"Aren't two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

A man's foes will be those of his own household.

He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.

Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."

For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'

But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.

But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."

"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

"Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.

He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

In his name, the nations will hope."

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.

Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:

Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world."

As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."

But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

But he answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can't discern the signs of the times!

An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah." He left them, and departed.

I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven."

Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."

Jesus answered them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."

and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

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

Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.

Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'

"So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'

So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

Jesus said to his disciples, "Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"

Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.

To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.
