So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.

But when he heard this, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.

But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.

And those who led the way rebuked him, telling him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'

'I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

But those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'"

At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves and said, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone'?

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the peoplefor they knew that he had spoken this parable against them.

And they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and you do not show partiality, but teach the way of God in truth.

But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,

And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said. But marveling at his answer they were silent.

and they questioned him, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

But those who are considered worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

"But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly like a trap.

And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out to spend the night on the mount called Olivet.

But behold the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as one who serves.

For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? But I am among you as One who serves.

But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren."

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done."

"If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe.

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

But they were urgent, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee to this place."

Then he questioned him with many words, but he gave him no answer.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"

But they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!"

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And the people stood watching; but even the rulers sneered at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."

But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

But their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them.

But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all this happened.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."

but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.

But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high."

He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.

But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

John answered them, "I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.

I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God."

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but I have been sent before him.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now full.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
