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?

Jesus also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves, thinking they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else:

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."

After they have whipped him, they'll kill him, but on the third day he'll rise again."

But the disciples understood none of these things [about the approaching death and resurrection of Jesus]. This statement was hidden from them, and they did not grasp the [meaning of the] things that were said [by Jesus].

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.

Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not see because of the crowd, for he was short 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 said to him, ‘Master, he has 10 minas.’

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 in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become 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,

and they could not find anything that they could do, for all the people [stayed close to Him and] were hanging on to every word He said.

But they began arguing together: "If we say 'divine,' he will say 'Why 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 again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent him away empty.

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 those farmers and give the vineyard to others.”

But when they heard this they said, “No—never!”

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.

The scribes and the chief priests tried to [find a way to] arrest Him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the people; because they understood that He spoke this parable against them.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

They were not able to seize on anything He said in the presence of the people; and being unnerved at His reply, they were silent.

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

"Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up 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.

Then the third one married the [surviving] widow [of the first two brothers]. And in the same way, all seven [brothers] married her, but left no children [behind when they died].

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain 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.

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

Then He said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) 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 have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath 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 shall 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.

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

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.

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 there shall not an hair of your head perish.

[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 unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in 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 in the daytime Jesus was teaching in [the porches and courts of] the temple, but at night He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

and the High Priests and the Scribes were contriving how to destroy Him. But they feared the people.

Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve [disciples].

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.

And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’

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

For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

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

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

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

Jesus said, “I say to you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will [utterly] deny three times that you know Me.”

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

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 those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: "Master, shall we use our swords?"

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 forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
