On one occasion people also brought with them their infants, for Him to touch them; but the disciples, noticing this, proceeded to find fault with them.

"Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one good but One, namely God.

But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.

Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."

He was anxious to see what sort of man Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"

"O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.

"It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."

But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.

At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.

"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said, "'This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."

So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.

But He saw through their knavery and replied,

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

But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage.

But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."

But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?

For from what they could well spare they have all of them contributed to the offerings, but she in her need has thrown in all she had to live on."

But when you hear of wars and turmoils, be not afraid; for these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately."

"But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake.

"But when you see Jerusalem with armies encamping round her on every side, then be certain that her overthrow is close at hand.

But when all this is beginning to take place, grieve no longer. Lift up your heads, because your deliverance is drawing near."

Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.

"But take heed to yourselves, lest your souls be weighed down with self-indulgence and drunkenness or the anxieties of this life, and that day come upon you, suddenly, like a falling trap;

But beware of slumbering; and every moment pray that you may be fully strengthened to escape from all these coming evils, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man."

His habit at this time was to teach in the Temple by day, but to go out and spend the night on the Mount called the Oliveyard.

and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.

But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles are their masters, and those who exercise authority over them are called Benefactors.

With you it is not so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and the leader be like him who serves.

For which is the greater--he who sits at table, or he who waits on him? Is it not he who sits at table? But my position among you is that of one who waits on others.

But *I* have prayed for *you* that your faith may not fail, and you, when at last you have come back to your true self, must strengthen your brethren."

"But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.

But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."

But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,

"Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"

While day after day I was with you in the Temple, you did not lay hands upon me; but to you belongs this hour--and the power of darkness."

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

But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence."

But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started)

So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.

"You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against him.

But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.

But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.

The man who was lying in prison charged with riot and murder and for whom they clamoured he set free, but Jesus he gave up to be dealt with as they desired.

But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

But the other, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?

And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."

But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.

But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,

The women were terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living?

But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.

Peter, however, rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw nothing but the linen cloths: so he went away to his own home, wondering at what had happened.

But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened.

Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see."

But they pressed Him to remain with them. "Because," said they, "it is getting towards evening, and the day is nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.

But as soon as He had sat down with them, and had taken the bread and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,

their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. But He vanished from them.

but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds?

But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"

And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.

But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;

who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."

"I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--

I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."

I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

and said to him, "It is usual to put on the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then that which is inferior. But you have kept the good wine till now."

But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

But He was speaking of the Sanctuary of His body.

But for His part, Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew them all,

The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit."

There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.

For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages.

For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been done in God.

You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, 'I am not the Christ,' but 'I am His appointed forerunner.'

He must grow greater, but I must grow less.

What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.

He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--

but whoever drinks any of the water that I shall give him will never, never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become a fountain within him of water springing up for the Life of the Ages."

Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."

But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.

"Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming some one else steps down before me."

But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.

On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.

The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,

"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life.

"I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.

But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.

"But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.

but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.

But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"

"There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish: but what is that among so many?"

They were terrified; but He called to them. "It is I," He said, "do not be afraid."

Next morning the crowd who were still standing about on the other side of the Lake found that there had been but one small boat there, and they had seen that Jesus did not go on board with His disciples, but that His disciples went away without Him.
