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

And whoever may give to drink one of these little ones merely a cold cup in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you he will, no, not lose his reward.

And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:

And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.

But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, Behold, thy disciples do what is not permitted to do upon the Sabbath.

But I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here.

And behold, there was a man having a withered hand. And they interrogated him, asking if it permitted to heal on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

How much therefore a man is superior to a sheep. So then it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath.

And he chided them so that they would not make him known,

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

Then a blind and mute man being demon possessed, was brought to him. And he healed him, so as for the blind and mute man both to speak and to see.

Because of this I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy of the spirit will not be forgiven men.

But I say to you, that every idle word, whatever men may speak, they will render account about it in the day of judgment.

Then some of the scholars and Pharisees answered, saying, Teacher, we want to see a sign from thee.

For as Jonah was in the belly of the sea-creature three days and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

Then it goes, and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having enter in, they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So it will also be to this evil generation.

And on that day, having departed from the house, Jesus was sitting beside the sea.

And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.

And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.

Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.

For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.

But the bondmen of the house-ruler having come, they said to him, Sir, did thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then does it have tares?

Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.

Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it.

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world.

As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned in fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind,

So it will be at the end of the age. The heavenly agents will come forth, and separate the bad from among the righteous,

Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

And having come into his fatherland he taught them in their synagogue, so as for them to be astonished, and say, From where is this wisdom and powers in this man?

Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas?

For Herod having arrested John, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

But Herod's birthday being brought, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.

And having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and he felt compassion toward them, and healed the feeble of them.

And having become evening, his disciples came to him, saying, The place is desolate, and the hour is now past. Send the multitudes away, so that having gone into the villages, they may buy food for themselves.

And they say to him, We have not here, except five loaves and two fishes.

But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, being buffeted by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking upon the sea.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost, and they cried out from fear.

But ye say, Whoever may say to the father or the mother, Whatever thou might have benefited from me is an offering.

And having answered, he said, It is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the house dogs.

And having departed from there, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee. And having gone up onto the mountain, he sat there.

so as for the multitudes to marvel seeing the mute speaking, the maimed healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

And his disciples say to him, From where are so many loaves for us in a wilderness so as to feed so great a multitude?

But having answered, he said to them, When it becomes evening, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red.

Now when Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say I, the Son of man, am?

He says to them, But who say ye, I am?

And I also say to thee, that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only.

And his disciples questioned him, saying, Why then do the scholars say that Elijah must first come?

But I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they knew him not, but did to him how many things they wanted. Likewise also the Son of man is going to suffer by them.

And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible t

But, so that we might not offend them, after going to the sea, cast a hook. And take up the first fish coming up, and having opened its mouth, thou will find a four-drachma coin. After taking that, give thou to them for me and thee

And he said, Truly I say to you, if ye are not turned, and become as children, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

But whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is advantageous for him that a donkey-powered millstone were hanged on his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

See that ye not disparage one of these little ones, for I say to you, that in the heavens their agents do always behold the face of my Father in the heavens.

And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you, that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.

So, it is not a purpose before your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he should not hear, take with thee one or two besides, so that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Truly I say to you, however many things ye may bind on the earth will be things that are bound in heaven, and however many things ye may loose on the earth will be things that that are loosed in heaven.

Again I say to you truly, that if two of you should agree on the earth concerning every matter, whatever they might ask, it will happen for them from my Father in the heavens.

Jesus says to him, I say to thee, not until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

So his fellow bondman having fallen down at his feet, besought him, saying, Be patience toward me, and I will pay thee.

And when his fellow bondmen saw the things that happened, they were extremely sorry. And after coming, they reported to their lord all the things that happened.

So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye do not forgive each man his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.

So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.

They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to divorce her?

And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

His disciples say to him, If the case of the man with his wife is this way, it is not advantageous to marry.

For there are eunuchs who were born this way from their mother's belly, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to

Then children were brought to him, so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

And behold one man having come to him, said, Good teacher, what good thing should I do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of the heavens difficultly.

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, ye also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others having stood idle in the marketplace.

They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever would be right ye will receive.

So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called but few chosen.

But having answered, Jesus said, Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am going to drink, or to be immersed the immersion that I am immersed? They say to him, We are able.

But it shall not be so among you. Rather whoever wants to become great among you, he shall be your helper,

And the multitude rebuked them, so that they would be quiet, but they cried out greater, saying, Be merciful to us, Lord, thou son of David.

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

And if any man says anything to you, ye will say, The Lord has need of them, and straightaway he will send them.

Now all this came to pass, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a pack animal.

But when the chief priests and the scholars saw the wonderful things that he did, and the boys crying out in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant,

And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree dry out immediately?

And having answered, Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye will not only do that of the fig tree, but even if ye may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it will happen

The immersion of John, from where was it, from heaven or from men? And they deliberated with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
