And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

But knowing this, the crowds followed Him. And He received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and He healed those who had need of healing.

But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God.

And in their parting from Him, it happened that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said.

And I begged Your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

But they did not understand this, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it. And they feared to ask Him of this word.

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in Your name. And we prevented him, because he does not follow us.

And Jesus said to him, Do not prevent him, for he who is not against us is for us.

And they did not receive Him, because His face was going toward Jerusalem.

But He turned and rebuked them and said, You do not know of what spirit you are.

For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save. And they went to another village.

And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest on it. If not, it shall return to you,

And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things shared by them; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not move from house to house.

And into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, going out into the streets say,

Yet do not rejoice in this, that the evil spirits are subject to you, rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen them, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard them.

But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she came to Him and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.

But one thing is needful, and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

And he answering from inside may say, Do not trouble me. The door is now shut and my children are in bed with me. I cannot rise and give to you.

I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needs.

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

Therefore take heed that the light in you is not darkness.

And when the Pharisee saw it, he was amazed that He had not first washed before dinner.

Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?

But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to leave the other undone.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unseen tombs and the men walking above are not aware of them.

And He said, Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens grievous to be carried, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

Woe to you, lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and you have hindered those who were entering in.

For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor anything hidden that shall not be known.

And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And not one of them is forgotten before God.

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

And He said to them, Watch and keep yourselves from covetousness. For a man's life is not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

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

And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious as to your life, what you shall eat; nor for the body, what you shall put on.

If then you are not able to do even the least, why are you anxious about the rest?

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not toil, they do not spin. And yet I say to you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

And do not seek what you shall eat, nor what you shall drink, and stop being in anxiety.

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you have need of these things.

Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Sell what you have and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which do not become old, an unfailing treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes nor moth corrupts.

And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.

Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man comes at an hour when you think not.

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and at an hour when he does not know. And he will cut him apart, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

And that servant who knew his lord's will and did not prepare, nor did according to His will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

But he not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Hypocrites! You know to discern the face of the heaven and the earth, but how is it that you do not discern this time?

And why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?

I tell you, you shall not depart from there until you have paid the very last lepton.

And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.

And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together and was not able to be completely erect.

And answering, the synagogue ruler, being angry because Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, said to the crowd, There are six days in which it is right to work. Therefore in them come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

And the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the sabbath loosen his ox or ass from the stall and lead it away, to give it drink?

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, lo these eighteen years, be loosened from this bond on the Sabbath day?

Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For I say to you, many will seek to enter in and shall not be able.

And once the Master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He shall answer and say to you, I do not know you; from where are you;

But He shall say, I tell you, I do not know you; from where you are. Depart from Me, all workers of unrighteousness!

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! the one killing the prophets, and stoning those having been sent to her; how often I desired to gather your children in the way a hen gathers her brood under the wings, and you did not desire it.

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And truly I say to you, You will not see Me until it come when you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.

And He answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer Him again as to these things.

When you are invited by anyone to a wedding, do not recline in the chief seat, lest a more honorable man than you may be invited by him.

And He also said to him who invited Him, When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends or your brothers, or your kinsmen, or your rich neighbors; lest they also invite you again, and a recompense be made to you.

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me, he cannot be My disciple.

For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he may have enough to finish it;

lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all those seeing begin to mock him,

saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.

Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

So then, everyone of you who does not forsake all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple.

It is not fit for the land, nor for manure, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost until he finds it?

I say to you that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she loses one drachma, does she not light a lamp and sweep the house, and seek carefully until she finds it?

And not many days afterward, the younger son gathered all together and went away into a far country. And there he wasted his property, living dissolutely.

And he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and entreated him.

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust the true riches to you?

And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give you that which is your own?

And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

Will he not say to him, Prepare something so that I may eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink. And afterward you shall eat and drink.

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

And answering, Jesus said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation.

And 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 shall not see it.

And they shall say to you, Lo, here! or, behold, there! Do not go away, nor follow.

In that day he who shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise, he who is in the field, let him not return to the things behind.

I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

And He also spoke a parable to them to teach it is always right to pray, and not to faint,

saying, A certain judge was in a certain city, not fearing God, nor respecting man.

And he would not do so for a time. But afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God nor regard man,

yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, that she not wear me down in the end.

And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry day and night to Him, though He has been long-suffering over them?

The Pharisee stood and prayed within himself in this way: God, I thank You that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector.

And standing afar off, the tax-collector would not even lift up his eyes to Heaven, but struck on his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner!

But Jesus called them and said, Allow the little children to come to Me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no way enter into it.

You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and your mother.
