and said, "If you yourself only knew today the conditions of peace! But as it is, they are hidden from you.

and he said to them, "The Scripture says, 'And my house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers!"

but they could not find any way to do it, for all the people hung upon his words.

But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."

And at the proper time he sent a slave to the tenants to have them give him a share of the vintage, but the tenants beat him, and sent him back empty-handed.

And again he sent a third, but they wounded him too, and threw him outside.

But when the tenants saw him, they argued with one another, 'This is his heir! Let us kill him, so that the property will belong to us!'

Whoever falls on that stone will be shattered, but whoever it falls upon will be pulverized."

And the scribes and high priests wanted to arrest him then and there, but they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had aimed this illustration at them.

And they asked him, "Master, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you show no favor, but teach the way of God in sincerity.

But he detected their trickery, and said to them,

"Master, Moses made us a law that if a man's brother die leaving a wife but no children, the man should marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

but those who are thought worthy to attain that other world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are married.

But that the dead are raised to life, even Moses indicated in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

He is not the God of dead men but of living, for all men are alive to him."

But he said to them, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?

For they all gave from what they had to spare, but she in her want has put in all she had to live on."

But when you hear of wars and outbreaks, do not be alarmed. These have to come first, but the end does not follow immediately."

But before all this, men will arrest you and persecute you, and hand you over to synagogues and prisons and have you brought before kings and governors on my account.

But when you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, then you must understand that her devastation is at hand.

But alas for women who are with child at that time, or who have babies, for there will be great misery in the land and anger at this people.

But when this begins to happen, look up and raise your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand."

Earth and sky will pass away, but my words will not.

But take care that your hearts are not loaded down with self-indulgence and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day takes you by surprise, like a trap.

But you must be vigilant and always pray that you may succeed in escaping all this that is going to happen, and in standing in the presence of the Son of Man."

He would spend the days teaching in the Temple, but at night he would go out of the city and stay on the hill called the Mount of Olives.

But Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, a member of the Twelve.

For the Son of Man is going his way, as it has been decreed, but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!"

But he said to them, "The kings of the heathen lord it over them, and their authorities are given the title of Benefactor.

But you are not to do so, but whoever is greatest among you must be like the youngest, and the leader like a servant.

But it is you who have stood by me in my trials.

but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail. And afterward you yourself must turn and strengthen your brothers."

But he said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow today before you deny three times that you know me!"

He said to them, "But now, if a man has a purse let him take it, and a bag too. And a man who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

But they said, "See, Master, here are two swords!" And he said to them, "Enough of this!"

and said, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. But not my will but yours be done!"

But Jesus answered, "Let me do this much!" And he touched his ear and healed him.

When I was among you day after day in the Temple you never laid a hand on me! But you choose this hour, and the cover of darkness!"

But he denied it, and said, "I do not know him."

Shortly after, a man saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "I am not!"

But Peter said, "I do not know what you mean." And immediately, just as he spoke, a cock crowed.

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

But from this time on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God Almighty!"

But they persisted and said, "He is stirring up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He began in Galilee and he has come here."

And he questioned him at some length, but he made him no answer.

But they all shouted out, "Kill him, and release Barabbas for us!"

But Pilate wanted to let Jesus go, and he called out to them again.

But they kept on shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

But they persisted with loud outcries in demanding that he be crucified, and their shouting won.

But Jesus turned to them and said, "Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me but weep for yourselves and for your children,

But the other reproved him and said, "Have you no fear even of God when you are suffering the same penalty?

And we are suffering it justly, for we are only getting our deserts, but this man has done nothing wrong."

but on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking spices they had prepared.

But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,

The women were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look among the dead for him who is alive?

But the story seemed to them to be nonsense and they would not believe them.

but they were prevented from recognizing him.

But we were hoping that he was to be the deliverer of Israel. Why, besides all this, it is three days since it happened.

But some women of our number have astounded us. They went to the tomb early this morning

and could not find his body, but came back and said that they had actually seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.

Then some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said, but they did not see him."

but they urged him not to, and said, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is nearly over." So he went in to stay with them.

But he said to them, "Why are you so disturbed, and why do doubts arise in your minds?

But they could not yet believe it for sheer joy and they were amazed. And he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

But to all who did receive him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God,

owing their birth not to nature nor to any human or physical impulse, but to God.

And they did so. When the master of the feast tasted the water which had now turned into wine, without knowing where it had come from??hough the servants who had drawn the water knew??10 he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone else serves his good wine first, and his poorer wine after people have drunk deeply, but you have kept back your good wine till now!"

But he was speaking of his body as the sanctuary.

But Jesus on his part would not trust himself to them, for he knew them all,

The wind blows wherever it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is the way with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit."

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life.

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

But everyone who is living the truth will come to the light, to show that his actions have been performed in dependence upon God.

It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend who stands outside and listens for his voice is very glad when he hears the bridegroom speak. So this happiness of mine is now complete.

He must grow greater and greater, but I less and less."

Whoever believes in the Son possesses eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not experience life, but will remain under the anger of God.

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John??2 though it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples??3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

but anyone who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will become a spring of water within him, bubbling up for eternal life."

But a time is coming??t is already here!??hen the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and sincerity, for the Father wants such worshipers.

But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

The sick man answered, "I have nobody, sir, to put me into the pool when the water stirs, but while I am getting down someone else steps in ahead of me."

But he answered, "The man who cured me said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' "

But the man who had been cured did not know who it was, for as there was a crowd there, Jesus had left the place.

But he answered them, "My Father is still at work, and I work too."

On account of this the Jews were all the more eager to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but actually called God his Father, thus putting himself on an equality with God.

For the Father passes judgment on no one, but he has committed the judgment entirely to the Son,

I tell you, whoever listens to my message and believes him who has sent me, possesses eternal life, and will not come to judgment, but has already passed out of death into life.

I cannot do anything of my own accord. I pass judgment just as I am told to do, and my judgment is just, for I am not seeking to do what I please, but what pleases him who has sent me.

But the testimony that I accept is not from any man; I am only saying this that you may be saved.

But I have higher testimony than John's, for the things that my Father has intrusted to me to accomplish, the very things that I am doing, are proof that my Father has sent me,

but I know well that you have not the love of God in your hearts.

But if you refuse to believe what he wrote, how are you ever to believe what I say?"

But Jesus went up on the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what is that among so many people?"

But in the evening his disciples went down to the sea

But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid!"

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not embarked in it with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

But some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where they had eaten the bread after Jesus had given thanks for it.

Jesus answered, "I tell you, it is not because of the signs you have seen that you have come in search of me, but because you ate that bread and had all you wanted of it.

You must not work for the food that perishes, but for that which lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has authorized him to do so."
