And fear ye not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell.

Whosoever therefore shall knowledge me before men, him will I knowledge also before my father which is in heaven.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven.

Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:

For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee.'

And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is entered by force, and they which strive with all their might take it by violence.

And also if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which should come.

But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,

Then he began to reproach the towns in which the majority of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:

Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day.

When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto him, "Behold: thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day."

He said unto them, "Have ye not read what David did, when he was a hungered, and they also which were with him?

how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?

But I tell you that there is here that which is greater than the Temple.

and behold, there was a man, which had his hand dried up. And they asked him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal upon the Sabbath days?" Because they might accuse him.

And he said unto them, "Which of you would it be, if he had a sheep fallen into a pit on the Sabbath day, that would not take him and lift him out?

And charged them, not to make him known: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying,

that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

Behold my servant, which I have chosen: my dearly beloved, in whom my soul was contented; I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment to the nations.

Then was brought to him one possessed with a devil, which was both blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that he which was blind and dumb, both spake and saw.

which made the people cry out with amazement, "Is not this the son of David?"

which the pharisees hearing, said, "He only casts out demons by the help of Beelzebub the prince of the devils."

Knowing their thoughts He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.

And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming.

You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:

The queen of the South [Note: This queen was from Sheba, I Kings 10:1, which was probably in Arabia] will stand up on the judgment day along with the people of this generation and will condemn them because she came from a great distance to hear [and see] Solomon's wisdom [I Kings 10:1ff] and [now] Someone greater than Solomon is here [i.e., Jesus].

Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' And [when it] arrives it finds [the house] unoccupied and swept and put in order.

For whosoever doth my father's will which is in heaven, the same is my brother, my sister, and my mother."

And other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and [eventually] choked out the tender sprouts.

for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him.

and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;

for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see them, and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear them.

Whosoever heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the evil man, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. And this is he which was sown by the wayside.

But he that was sown in the stony ground, is he which heareth the word of God, and anon with joy receiveth it,

And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

He which is sown in the good ground, is he, that heareth the word and understandeth it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold."

Another similitude put he forth, unto them saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man which sowed good seed in his field.

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;

which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.

He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.

so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the world's foundation.

The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that do offend, and all them which do iniquity,

The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field.

which when he had found one precious pearl, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind,

which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down [and] collected the good [fish] into containers, but the bad they threw out.

Then said he unto them, "Therefore every scribe which is taught unto the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder, which bringeth forth, out of his treasure, things both new and old."

And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

Upon which he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.

And the King sorrowed: nevertheless for his oath's sake, and for their sakes, which sat also at the table, he commanded it to be given her.

upon which, his disciples came to take away the body, and having buried it, they went to tell Jesus what had happened.

When Jesus heard that, he embark'd, to retire privately to a desert place: of which the people being inform'd, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And they all ate and had aplenty. Then they took up the pieces left over, which made twelve basketfuls.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever it be by which received from me thou wouldest be profited:

But in vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but men's precepts.'"

That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man: but that which cometh out of the mouth, defileth the man."

But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;

but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.

these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

And behold, a woman which was a Canaanite came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, "Have mercy on me Lord, thou son of David, my daughter is piteously vexed with a devil."

But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.

And they all ate and had aplenty, and they took up the pieces left over, which made seven hamper-basketfuls.

upon which they said to one another, this comes from our not taking any bread.

Which when Jesus perceived, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

When Jesus came into the coasts of the city which is called Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I, the son of man, am?"

And Jesus answered, and said to him, "Happy art thou, Simon the son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not opened unto thee that, but my father which is in heaven.

And I also say unto thee, as thou art called Peter, so upon this rock, which thou hast confessed, will I build my church, and the gates of death shall not prevail against it.

Verily I say unto you, some there be among them that here stand, which shall not taste of death, till they shall have seen the son of man come in his kingdom."

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

upon which Jesus answered, incredulous and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?

they will kill him, but the third day he shall be raised again. at which they were exceeding sorry.

But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Then which one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens?

But whosoever offend one of these little ones, which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal.

See that ye despise not one of these little ones. For I say unto you, that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my father, which is in heaven.

For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.

How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them should be gone astray, doth he not leave ninety and nine in the mountains, and go and seek that one which is gone astray?

If it happen that he find him, verily I say unto you, He rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine, which went not astray.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Again, I say unto you that if two of you shall agree, in earth, upon any manner thing, whatsoever they shall desire; it shall be given them of my father which is in heaven.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain King, which would take accounts of his servants.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents:

And he not having to give back, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children, and all which he had also to be given back.

upon which the lord of that vassal, touch'd with compassion, gave him his liberty, and discharged him of the debt.

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.'

and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, - and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.

At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.

He answered, and said unto them, "Have ye not read, how that he which made man at the beginning, made them man and woman?

Wherefore now are they not twain, but one flesh. Let not man therefore put asunder, that which God hath coupled together."

I say therefore unto you, whosoever putteth away his wife, except it be for fornication, and marrieth another, breaketh wedlock. And whosoever marrieth her which is divorced, doth commit adultery."

for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
