And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.

He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.

The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.

How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

And he said to them, Which of you, having a sheep, if it gets into a hole on the Sabbath day, will not put out a helping hand and get it back?

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

But if I by the Spirit of God send out evil spirits, then is the kingdom of God come on you.

So I say to you, Every sin and every evil word against God will have forgiveness; but for evil words against the Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

Make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for by its fruit you will get knowledge of the tree.

You offspring of snakes, how are you, being evil, able to say good things? because out of the heart's store come the words of the mouth.

The good man out of his good store gives good things; and the evil man out of his evil store gives evil things.

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.

And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

And he gave them another story, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who put good seed in his field:

And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?

And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the earth is the Son of man;

And the field is the world; and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds are the sons of the Evil One;

And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.

As then the evil plants are got together and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world.

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.

When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away.

And straight away he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, till he had sent the people away.

And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.

And when they had got into the boat, the wind went down.

And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.

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;

There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

And he got the people together and said to them, Give ear, and let my words be clear to you:

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.

And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.

And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

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 brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.

And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

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, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to get workers into his vine-garden.

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,

Have I not the right to do as seems good to me in my house? or is your eye evil, because I am good?

And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough.

Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast.

And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.

For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

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.

And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,

But he who goes through to the end will get salvation.

And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.
