But the crowds pressing on Him, He began to say, This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the Judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, One greater than Solomon is here.

The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the Judgment with this generation and shall condemn it. For they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, One greater than Jonah is here.

The light of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is sound, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

Therefore take heed that the light in you is not darkness.

Therefore if your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the shining of a lamp enlightens you.

And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. And He went in and reclined.

And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but your inward part is full of plunder and wickedness.

But give alms of such things as you have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

And one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, Master, you reproach us also when you say this.

And as He said these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw Him out concerning many things,

In the meantime, when there had gathered together an innumerable crowd of people, so as to trample on one another, He began to say to His disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor anything hidden that shall not be known.

Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And not one of them is forgotten before God.

And when they bring you into the synagogues, and to rulers and authorities, take no thought as to how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say.

And He said to them, Watch and keep yourselves from covetousness. For a man's life is not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

So is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.

And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious as to your life, what you shall eat; nor for the body, what you shall put on.

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

If then God so clothes the grass (which today is in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven) how much more will He clothe you, O little-faiths?

Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable to us or also to all?

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward whom his lord shall set over his houseservants, to give them their portion of food in season?

Blessed is that servant when his lord comes and finds him so doing.

But he not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

I have come to send fire on the earth. And what will I do if it is already kindled?

But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am pressed down until it is accomplished!

And He also said to the crowd, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, There is a shower coming. And so it is.

Hypocrites! You know to discern the face of the heaven and the earth, but how is it that you do not discern this time?

And why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?

For as you go with your adversary to the judge, give pains in the way to be set free from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into the prison.

And some were present at the same time reporting to Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

And answering, the synagogue ruler, being angry because Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, said to the crowd, There are six days in which it is right to work. Therefore in them come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

And the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the sabbath loosen his ox or ass from the stall and lead it away, to give it drink?

And He said, What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?

It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden. And it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.

It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.

And once the Master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He shall answer and say to you, I do not know you; from where are you;

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And truly I say to you, You will not see Me until it come when you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.

And as He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, it happened that they watched Him.

And answering, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

And He answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer Him again as to these things.

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and still there is room.

lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all those seeing begin to mock him,

Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.

Salt is good, but if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned?

It is not fit for the land, nor for manure, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost until he finds it?

Likewise I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that is coming to me. And he divided his living to them.

And bring the fattened calf here and kill it. And let us eat and be merry,

for this my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

And his elder son was in the field. And as he came and drew near the house, he heard music and dancing.

And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

And he called him and said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you may no longer be steward.

And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

He who is faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he who is unjust in the least is also unjust in much.

And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give you that which is your own?

And He said to them, You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

The Law and the Prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone is pressing into it.

And it is easier for the heaven and earth to pass than for one tittle of the Law to fail.

Everyone putting away his wife and marrying another commits adultery; and everyone marrying her who is put away from her husband commits adultery.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted and you are tormented.

And besides all this, there is a great chasm fixed between you and us; so that they desiring to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they pass over to us from there.

And He said to the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come. But woe to him through whom they come!

And the apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.

And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, Be rooted up and be planted in the sea! And it would obey you.

And as He went to Jerusalem, it happened that he went through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

And as He entered into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood afar off.

And they lifted voice and said, Jesus, Master, pity us!

And seeing them, He said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it happened, as they went, that they were cleansed.

Nor shall they say, Lo here! or, behold, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.

For as the lightning which lights up, flashing from the one part under heaven, and shines to the other part under heaven, so also shall the Son of Man be in His day.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it also shall be in the days of the Son of Man.

So also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

Even so it shall be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

In that day he who shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise, he who is in the field, let him not return to the things behind.

And they answered and said to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

And He also spoke a parable to them to teach it is always right to pray, and not to faint,

The Pharisee stood and prayed within himself in this way: God, I thank You that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector.

But Jesus called them and said, Allow the little children to come to Me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no way enter into it.

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? None is good except One, God.

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich one to enter into the kingdom of God.

And He said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,

And as He came near Jericho, it happened that a certain blind man sat by the roadside begging.

And Jesus said to him, This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

And as they heard these things, He added and spoke a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was about to appear immediately.

But his citizens hated him. And they sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this one to reign over us.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your mina, which I have kept in a handkerchief.

And going, those who were sent found as He had said to them.

And as He went, they spread their clothes in the way.
