John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."

and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them?"

For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men?s lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.

Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."

Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."

By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father, hallowed be your name. May your Kingdom come.

and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.

Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.

When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to you.

So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.

lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say.

Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;

for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say."

He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.

Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.

Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.

That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.

When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.

When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.

Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

They all as one began to make excuses. "The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.'

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."

But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying with hunger.

"He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'

Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

"He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;

for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'

Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.

neither will they say, 'Look, here.' or, 'Look, there.' for the Kingdom of God is within you."

He said to the disciples, "The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

Remember Lot's wife.

Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God's sake,

"What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.

He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'

"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"

When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,

They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

"But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They answered, "Caesar's."

He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

He said to them, "Why do they say that the Messiah is David's son?

"David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"

He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.

He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.

"As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."

They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"

But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.

You will be hated by all men for my name's sake.

"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.
