Whoever does not take up his cross and come after me may not be my disciple.

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?

All the tax-collectors and irreligious people were crowding up to hear him.

The younger one said to his father, 'Father, [please] give me my share of your property that I have coming.' So, the father divided up what he had to live on [with his two sons].

A few days later, the younger son gathered together everything [that he had] and traveled to a distant country, and there he wasted his fortune in reckless and immoral living.

I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;

And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.

And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming up, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.

but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'

And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.

One by one he called up his master's debtors. 'How much do you owe my master?' he asked of the first.

Therefore, I tell you, make friends for yourselves by using worldly wealth, so that when it fails [i.e., when you run out of money] they [i.e., the friends you made with its wise and benevolent use] may welcome you into the eternal [i.e., heavenly] dwelling places. [Note: The idea here seems to be that by your shrewd use of material possessions for the benefit of others, you are actually storing up treasures for yourself in heaven].

and if ye have not been faithful in that which belongs to another, who will give up to you that which is your own?

And He said to them, "You are people who claim to be just in the eyes of [other] people, but God knows [what is in] your hearts. For that which is held up as most important among people [i.e., fame or fortune ?] is disgusting in the eyes of God.

Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried:

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

But Abraham said [to him], 'Son, remember how you enjoyed good things when you were alive [on earth] and how Lazarus had to put up with bad things? But now here [i.e., in the unseen place of departed spirits] he is being comforted and you are in agony.

because I have five brothers to warn them, so that they won't end up in this place of torture, too.'

Look out for yourselves! If your brother wrongs you, take it up with him, and if he repents, forgive him.

Even if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him [that is, give up resentment and consider the offense recalled and annulled].”

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

And would not rather say to him, 'Dress wherewith I may sup, and gird up thyself and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk: and afterward, eat thou, and drink thou?'

And it came to pass as he was going up to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

And as He was going into one village, ten lepers met Him, who got up at some distance from Him,

And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

And he said to him, Rise up and go thy way: thy faith has made thee well.

For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, gives light to the other part of the sky, so [visible] will the Son of Man be in His day.

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart,

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

But Jesus called them up to him and said, "Let the children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as they.

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

Then Peter said, "See, we have given up our homes and have followed you."

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,

Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:

And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.

Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him:

What do you wish that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may look up.

And Jesus said to him, Look up: thy faith hath saved thee.

And immediately he looked up, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, seeing, gave praise to God.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, “See, Lord, I am [now] giving half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I will give back four times as much.”

And the first came up, saying, My Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

saying, Go into the village over against you, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no child of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it here.

And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,

And they reckoned up together to themselves, saying, That if we say, Of heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him,

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Then in the rising up, whose wife of them is she for seven had her a wife.

And they having been deemed worthy to obtain that life, and the rising up of the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

For neither can they die any more: for they are like to messengers; and are sons of God, being the sons of the rising up.

"Beware of the scribes who like to go about in long robes, and love to be saluted with respect in public places, and to have the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets??47 men who eat up widows' houses and to cover it up make long prayers! They will get all the heavier sentence!"

These [men] who confiscate and devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense [to appear devout] offer long prayers. These [men] will receive the greater [sentence of] condemnation.”

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

As some were talking about the temple, that it was decorated with beautiful stones and consecrated offerings [of magnificent gifts of gold which were displayed on the walls and hung in the porticoes], He said,

Then he said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

{Therefore make up your minds} not to prepare in advance to speak in your own defense,

But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and'some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

And when you may see Jerusalem shut up by the armies, then know that her desolation is nigh.

Because these are the days of vengeance, to fill up all things which have been written.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

And all the people were getting up very early in the morning [to come] to him in the temple [courts] to listen to him.

and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people.

And he went away and spoke with the chief priests and captains as to how he should deliver him up to them.

And he came to an agreement to do it, and sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them away from the crowd.

And he will take you up to a great room with a table and seats: there make ready.

Then he took a loaf, and after thanking God he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This means my body given up for your sake; do this in memory of me."

Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up is with me on the table;

and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.

Now an argument sprang up among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

“Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain;

Then said he to them, 'But, now, he who is having a bag, let him take it up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword,

And he went out of the city and up on the Mount of Olives as he was accustomed to do, with his disciples following him.

And, coming up to the place, he said unto them - Be praying, lest ye enter into temptation.

And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
