I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?

To some people who were confident that they themselves were upright, but who scorned everybody else, He told the following story:

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 unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.

But he said, "I have kept all these commandments ever since I was a child."

But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.

But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;

But those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

"But we," said Peter, "we left what belonged to us and followed you."

and then they will flog Him and kill Him, but on the third day He will rise again."

But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Now he was trying to see Jesus to find out who He was, but he could not because of the crowd, as he was so small in stature.

But when Jesus reached the spot he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down at once, for I must stay at your house to-day."

But all the people who saw this began to complain: "Jesus is going to be the guest of a notorious sinner!"

But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return him fourfold.

But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

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

But another one came in and said, 'Here is your twenty dollars, sir, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief.

But he said to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant, Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

And he said to those standing by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him that has ten minas,??25 and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas,??26 for I tell you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away;

but they objected, Lord, he has already ten pounds:

I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

But as they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?

But some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, speak sternly to your disciples [i.e., to prevent them from honoring Jesus]."

But He answered, "I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!"

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.

but they reason'd thus with themselves, if we should say, it was divine, he will reply, why then did not you believe him?

But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

But Jesus began to tell the people this parable-- "A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

And he proceeded to send another slave, but they beat and dishonored that one also, [and] sent [him] away empty-handed.

And he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded [and] threw out this one also.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said - Far be it!

But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

And the high priests and the scribes, the same hour went about to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they perceived that he had spoken this similitude against them.

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any , but of a truth teachest the way of God:

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,

And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,

Master, Moses said that if a man's brother comes to his end, having a wife, but no children, his brother is to take the wife, and get a family for his brother.

[Now] there were these seven brothers; the first one got married, but when he died he did not leave any children behind.

and the third, married her; as also the seven did who died but left no child.

but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

and they cannot die again, because they are [immortal] like the angels (equal to, angel-like). And they are children of God, being participants in the resurrection.

But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

But he said to them, "In what sense do they say [that] the Christ is David's son?

"but they devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."

but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.

for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.

And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

And they asked him, saying, Master, but when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

And He replied, "Pay attention, so that you are not led astray [from the truth]. For many [false teachers] will come, claiming to be me, and saying, 'I am [the Christ],' and 'The time is near.' [But] do not go after them.

And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.

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

but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.

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.

But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.

[But], by holding out steadfastly, you will gain your life. [Note: This means either "preserve your earthly life," or "attain never ending life"].

But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.

But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.

But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Now during the days He continued to teach in the temple, but He would go out and spend the nights on the hill called the Mount of Olives;

And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

But Satan entered into Judas, who is called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle of the Twelve.

But they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it?

But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

But He said to them, "The kings of the heathen lord it over them and those who exercise authority over them are given the title of 'Benefactor.'

But ye'shall not be'so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;

but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.

But he said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

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

And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

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

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,

saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

But when they that were about Him saw what would follow, they said to Him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
