Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among the born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man that is eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: and wisdom has been justified by her children.

But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.

But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.

At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.

But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?

Or have ye not read in the law that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.

And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.

and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

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

Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spake and saw.

He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

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

Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.

Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.

But he answering said to him that spoke to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?

And that same day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.

And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.

He that has ears, let him hear.

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.

From every one who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart: this is he that is sown by the wayside.

But he that is sown on the rocky places this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,

And he that is sown among the thorns this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

But he that is sown upon the good ground this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.

And he said to them, A man that is an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it up?

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.

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.

But he answering said, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man,

The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;

Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.

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.

And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man that is a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these works of power?

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and much of the day time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,

and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith is great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?

He says to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am?

And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.

From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.

But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And his disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come?

But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!

And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in the heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.

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

What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?

And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.

So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he do not hear thee, take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.

Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in the heavens.

But he not having anything to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.

And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.

But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay me if thou owest anything.

But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

Then his lord, having called him to him, says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;

And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.

But he answering said to them, Have ye not read that he who made them, from the beginning made them male and female,

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits 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.

Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?

and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.

And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak the word that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom.

But Jesus having called them to him, said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them.

And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.

Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
