Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers,
and assure me: “I am your deliverance.”

For I assure you: Until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass from the law until all things are accomplished.

I assure you: You will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!

So whenever you give to the poor, don’t sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be applauded by people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!

“Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!

“Whenever you fast, don’t be sad-faced like the hypocrites. For they make their faces unattractive so their fasting is obvious to people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!

Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following Him, “I assure you: I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith!

I assure you: It will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

When they persecute you in one town, escape to another. For I assure you: You will not have covered the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

And whoever gives just a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple—I assure you: He will never lose his reward!”

“I assure you: Among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

For I assure you: Many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.

I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

“I assure you,” He said, “unless you are converted and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

And if he finds it, I assure you: He rejoices over that sheep more than over the 99 that did not go astray.

I assure you: Whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.

Again, I assure you: If two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: In the Messianic Age, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

Jesus answered them, “I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.

“Which of the two did his father’s will?”

“The first,” they said.

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you!

I assure you: All these things will come on this generation!

Then He replied to them, “Don’t you see all these things? I assure you: Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!”

I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.

I assure you: He will put him in charge of all his possessions.

“But he replied, ‘I assure you: I do not know you!’

“And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

“Then He will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me either.’

I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

While they were eating, He said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me.”

“I assure you,” Jesus said to him, “tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times!”

I assure you: People will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies they may blaspheme.

But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? I assure you: No sign will be given to this generation!”

Then He said to them, “I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”

And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of My name, since you belong to the Messiah—I assure you: He will never lose his reward.

I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

“I assure you,” Jesus said, “there is no one who has left house, brothers or sisters, mother or father, children, or fields because of Me and the gospel,

I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Summoning His disciples, He said to them, “I assure you: This poor widow has put in more than all those giving to the temple treasury.

I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.

I assure you: Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me!”

I assure you: I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way in the kingdom of God.”

“I assure you,” Jesus said to him, “today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times!”

He also said, “I assure you: No prophet is accepted in his hometown.

Those slaves the master will find alert when he comes will be blessed. I assure you: He will get ready, have them recline at the table, then come and serve them.

I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

So He said to them, “I assure you: There is no one who has left a house, wife or brothers, parents or children because of the kingdom of God,

I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all things take place.

And He said to him, “I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.”

Then He said, “I assure you: You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.

Then Jesus replied, “I assure you: The Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way.

“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

“I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

Jesus answered, “I assure you: You are looking for Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the real bread from heaven.

“I assure you: Anyone who believes has eternal life.

So Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves.

Jesus responded, “I assure you: Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

I assure you: If anyone keeps My word, he will never see death—ever!”

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Before Abraham was, I am.”

“I assure you: Anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the door but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

So Jesus said again, “I assure you: I am the door of the sheep.

“I assure you: Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces a large crop.

“I assure you: A slave is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.

I assure you: Whoever receives anyone I send receives Me, and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit and testified, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me!”

Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? I assure you: A rooster will not crow until you have denied Me three times.

“I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.

“I assure you: You will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.

In that day you will not ask Me anything.

“I assure you: Anything you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

“I assure you: When you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
