How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they understood that he said not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

And they said, {Some} [say] John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

He said to them, "But who do you say [that] I am?"

And Simon Peter answered [and] said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!"

And Jesus answered [and] said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal [this] to you, but my Father [who is] in heaven.

And Peter took Him aside and began to chide Him, as he said, "Heaven shield you, my Lord! This must never be your lot!"

But he turned around [and] said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a cause for stumbling to me, because you are not intent on the things of God, but the things of people!"

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

So Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good [that] we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

[While] he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

And Jesus came and touched them [and] said, "Get up and do not be afraid."

As they went down the mountain, Jesus gave them this charge, don't speak of the vision, said he, to any body, till the son of man be risen again from the dead: but his disciples asked him,

And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

And he answered [and] said, "Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all [things].

then the disciples perceiv'd, that what he said was meant of John the Baptist.

And when they were come to the people, there came to him a certain man; and kneeled down to him, and said,

“Lord,” he said, “have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely. He often falls into the fire and often into the water.

And Jesus answered [and] said, "O unbelieving and perverse generation! {How long} will I be with you? {How long} must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

Then the disciples approached Jesus privately [and] said, {Why} were we not able to expel it?"

And he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here [to] there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

Now [as] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

He said, "Yes." And [when he] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes--from their own sons, or from foreigners?"

And [when he] said, "From foreigners," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Jesus called a little child to him, and placed it in the middle of them, and then said:

and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become like young children, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven!

But if he does not listen [to your reasoning], take one or two other people with you, so that two or three witnesses can verify every word [that was said].

Then Peter came up to him [and] said, "Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?"

Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven!

Then the servant falling prostrate at his feet, said, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

And the said servant went out and found one of his fellows, which owed him a hundred pence. And laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me that thou owest.'

Thereupon his fellow-servant threw himself on the ground and begged for mercy. 'Have patience with me,' he said, 'and I will pay you.'

Then his master summoned him [and] said to him, 'Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

Then came unto him the Pharisees to tempt him, and said to him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for all manner of causes?"

And he answered [and] said, "Have you not read that the one who created [them] from the beginning made them male and female

and said, 'On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

He said to them, "Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this.

The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!"

But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this saying but [those] to whom it has been given.

Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

But Jesus said, "Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, {for to such belongs} the kingdom of heaven."

And behold, someone came up to him [and] said, "Teacher, what good [thing] must I do so that I will have eternal life?"

And he said to him, "Why are you asking me about [what is] good? There is one [who is] good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!"

He said to him, "Which [ones]?" And Jesus said, "Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

The young man said to him, "All these I have observed. What do I still lack?"

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!

The disciples were greatly astonished when they heard this and said, "Then who can be saved?"

But Jesus looked at [them] [and] said to them, "With human beings this is impossible, but with God all [things] [are] possible."

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that in the renewal [of the world], when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me--you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place, and said to them,

And to those [people] he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.'

And about the eleventh [hour] he went out [and] found others standing [there] and said to them, 'Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?'

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'

And [when] evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last up to the first.'

'These last,' they said, 'have done only one hour's work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day's work, and the heat.'

But he answered one of them [and] said, 'Friend, I am not doing you wrong. Did you not come to an agreement with me for a denarius?

And [as] Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples by themselves and said to them on the way,

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom."

But Jesus answered [and] said, "You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

But Jesus called them to himself [and] said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions exercise authority over them.

The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.

And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, "What do you want me to do for you?"

They said to him, "Lord, that our eyes be opened!"

and said to them, Go into the village opposite to you, and you will immediately find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them, and lead them to me:

Now this happened in fulfilment of what was said by the prophet,

And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was moved, and said: Who is this?

And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

And he said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a cave of robbers!"

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he said to it, "May there be no more fruit from you {forever}, and the fig tree withered at once.

upon which the disciples said to one another, much surpriz'd, how came the fig-tree to wither away so suddenly?

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only [what was done to] the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will happen!

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this power?"

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "I also will ask you one question. If you tell [the answer] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

The immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

And they answered [and] said to Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these [things].

"Now what do you think? A man had two sons. [He] approached the first [and] said, 'Son, go work in the vineyard today.'

And he answered [and] said, 'I do not want to!' But later [he] changed his mind [and] went.

And [he] approached the second [and] said the same [thing]. So he answered [and] said, 'I [will], sir,' and he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

At last he sent his son to them, for he said to himself, 'They will surely respect my son.'

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

They said to him, "He will destroy those evil [men] completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season."

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become {the cornerstone}. This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

And Jesus, talking to them again in stories, said:

"The Realm of heaven," he said, "may be compared to a king who gave a marriage-banquet in honour of his son.

A second time he sent other slaves, and said to them, 'Tell the invited guests that I have my reception all ready, my bullocks and fatlings are butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding reception!'

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

but upon the king's coming in to see the guests, he observ'd one there without a wedding garment: and he said to him,

And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?' But {he could say nothing}.
