Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like:

And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?

And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.

And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.

But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.

And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.

Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.

And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.

And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,

I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.

But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.

And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.

All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.

And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.

And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?

I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.

And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.

For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?

Or for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.

He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.

The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.

And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

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

The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.

For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;

From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.

But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.

So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.

But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.

And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.

And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.

And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.

But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.

But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.

Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.

And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.

Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.

And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?

Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.

The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.

They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.

Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.

And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.

For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.

I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.

I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile:

And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them,

Do your best to go in by the narrow door, for I say to you, A number will make the attempt to go in, but will not be able to do so.

When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.

And the last will be first, and the first will be last.

And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete.

Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.

For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,
