And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?

And mind what ye hear: for with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you; and more shall be imparted to you that are observant:

for whosoever hath, to him more shall be given; and he that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.

For the earth produces fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear:

And He said, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or by what similitude shall we represent it?

and immediately the damsel rose up and walked; for she was twelve years old; and they were struck with great astonishment.

And whosoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.

And He said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a retired place, and rest a little: for there were many coming and going, and they had not time even to eat.

And when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.

And they did all eat and were fully satisfied.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men.

But they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.

making void the word of God by your tradition,. And many such like things ye do.

Hear me all of you, and understand, There is nothing without a man, which entring into him can defile him: but the things proceeding from him are those which defile a man.

And He saith unto them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not know, that whatsoever from without entreth into a man cannot defile him?

and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly.

and were exceedingly astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

and if I send them away fasting to their own home, they will faint by the way; for some of them are come from far.

And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about?

And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,

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