And Jesus went all through Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people;

It is you who are the Light of the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor should you swear by your head, since you cannot make a single hair either white or black.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

A sound tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a worthless tree bear good fruit.

The men were amazed, and exclaimed: "What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Jesus went round all the towns and the villages, teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

Calling his twelve Disciples to him, Jesus gave them authority over foul spirits, so that they could drive them out, as well as the power of curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

Alas for the world because of such snares! There cannot but be snares; yet alas for the man who is answerable for the snare!

Therefore watch; for you cannot be sure on what day your Master is coming.

Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. "My Father," he said, "if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, thy will be done!"

Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the 'King of Israel'! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

Jesus answered: "Can the bridegroom's friends fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

When a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot last;

So, if Satan is in revolt against himself and is divided, he cannot last--his end has come!

"A spirit of this kind," he said, "can be driven out only by prayer."

Therefore watch, for you cannot be sure when the Master of the house is coming-- whether in the evening, at midnight, at daybreak, or in the morning--

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the 'King of Israel,' come down from the cross now, that we may see it and believe." Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus reviled him.

For he has remembered his servant in her lowliness; And from this hour all ages will count me happy!

When he had tried every kind of temptation, the Devil left Jesus, till another opportunity.

But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward shall be great, and you shall be Sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.

And suppose that the other should answer from inside 'Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything';

And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?

Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?

But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.

And then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot recompense you; for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the good."

And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.

And so with every one of you who does not bid farewell to all he has--he cannot be a disciple of mine.

So the master called him and said 'What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.'

No servant can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.'

"In truth I tell you," exclaimed Jesus, "unless a man is reborn, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

"In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "unless a man owes his birth to Water and Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

And that was why the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.

The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.

Jesus again spoke to the people. "I am going away," he said, "and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going."

"Is he going to kill himself," the Jews exclaimed, "that he says-- 'You cannot go where I am going'?"

How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my Message.

"The man cannot be from God," said some of the Pharisees, "for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible," retorted others, "for a bad man to give signs like this?"

And Jesus added: "It was to put men to the test that I came into this world, in order that those that cannot see should see, and that those that can see should become blind."

If those to whom God's word were addressed were said to be 'gods'--and Scripture cannot be set aside--

My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the Jews--'You cannot come where I am going'--I now say to you.

"Where are you going, Master?" asked Peter. "I am going where you cannot now follow me," answered Jesus, "but you shall follow me later."

"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" asked Peter. "I will lay down my life for you."

The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognize him, but you recognize him, because he is always with you, and is within you.

Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains united to the vine; no more can you, unless you remain united to me.

I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.

Since we are on our trial to-day for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has been cured,

"What are we to do to these men?" they asked one another. "That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to every one living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

Judge for yourselves, for we cannot help speaking of what we have seen and heard."

At Jaffa there lived a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which is in Greek 'Dorcas'--a Gazelle. Her life was spent in doing kind and charitable actions.

"No, Lord, I cannot," answered Peter, "for I have never eaten anything 'defiled' and 'unclean'."

'No, Lord, I cannot,' I answered, 'for nothing 'defiled' or 'unclean' has ever passed my lips.'

After some stay, they were dismissed with kind farewells from the Brethren, and returned to those who had sent them.

God did miracles of no ordinary kind by Paul's hands;

But I count my life of no value to myself, if only I may complete the course marked out for me, and the task that was allotted me by the Lord Jesus--which was to declare the Good News of the Love of God.

And they cannot establish the charges which they are now making against me.

And, as I was at a loss how to enquire into questions of this kind, I asked Paul if he were willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be put upon his trial.

It was while I was traveling to Damascus on an errand of this kind, entrusted with full powers by the Chief Priests,

When Paul said to the Roman Officer and his men: "Unless the sailors remain on board, you cannot be saved."

They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.

Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against a man where no Law exists.

They who are earthly cannot please God.

I do not count the sufferings of our present life worthy of mention when compared with the Glory that is to be revealed and bestowed upon us.

May their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; and do thou always make their backs to bend.'

The merely intellectual man rejects the teaching of the Spirit of God; for to him it is mere folly; he cannot grasp it, because it is to be understood only by spiritual insight.

There is a wide-spread report respecting a case of immorality among you, and that, too, of a kind that does not occur even among the Gentiles-a man, I hear, is living with his father's wife!

But, if they cannot control themselves, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be consumed with passion.

You cannot drink both the Cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake at the Table of the Lord and at the table of demons.

In giving directions on the next subject, I cannot praise you; because your meetings do more harm than good.

Have you no houses in which you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show your contempt for the Church of God, and to humiliate the poor? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I cannot praise you.

The eye cannot say to the hand 'I do not need you,' nor, again, the head to the feet 'I do not need you.'

Love is long-suffering, and kind; Love is never envious, never boastful, never conceited, never behaves unbecomingly;

Put yourselves to the proof, to see whether you are holding to the Faith. Test yourselves. Surely you recognize this fact about yourselves--that Jesus Christ is in you! Unless indeed you cannot stand the test!

My point is this--An agreement already confirmed by God cannot be canceled by the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to cause the promise to be set aside.

For these cravings of our earthly nature conflict with the Spirit, and the Spirit with our earthly nature--they are two contrary principles--so that you cannot do what you wish.

Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. What a man sows that he will reap.

Lost to all sense of shame, they have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, in order to practice every kind of impurity without restraint.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ready to forgive one another, just as God, in Christ, forgave you.

As for unchastity and every kind of impurity, or greed, do not let them even be mentioned among you, as befits Christ's People,

So that he might himself bring the Church, in all her beauty, into his own presence, with no spot or wrinkle or blemish of any kind, but that she might be holy and faultless.

But what if the life here in the body--if this brings me fruit from my labors? Then which to choose I cannot tell! I am sorely perplexed either way!

But all the things which I once held to be gains I have now, for the Christ's sake, come to count as loss.

More than that, I count everything as loss, for the sake of the exceeding value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. And for his sake I have lost everything, and count it as refuse, if I may but gain Christ and be found in union with him;

Then you will live lives worthy of the Master, and so please God in every way. Your lives will be fruitful in every kind of good action, and your characters will grow through a fuller knowledge of God;

With this in view, our constant prayer for you is that our God may count you worthy of the Call that you have received, and by his power make perfect your delight in all goodness and the efforts that have resulted from your faith.

and be well spoken of for her kind actions. She should have brought up children, have shown hospitality to strangers, have washed the feet of her fellow Christians, have relieved those who were in distress, and devoted herself to every kind of good action.

In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.

For we brought nothing into the world, because we cannot even carry anything out of it.

If we lose our trust, he is still to be trusted, for he cannot be false to himself!'

Remind your hearers to respect and obey the Powers that be, to be ready for every kind of good work, to speak ill of no one, to avoid quarreling,

If, then, you count me your friend, receive him as you would me.

Therefore, let us, who have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, be thankful, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with awe and reverence.

Let no one say, when he is tempted, "It is God who is tempting me!" For God, who cannot be tempted to do wrong, does not himself tempt any one.

You crave, yet do not obtain. You murder and rage, yet cannot gain your end. You quarrel and fight. You do not obtain, because you do not ask.

We count those who displayed such endurance blessed! You have heard, too, of Job's endurance, and have seen what the Lord's purpose was, for 'the Lord is full of pity and compassion.'

since 'you have found by experience that the Lord is kind.'

Lastly, you should all be united, sympathetic, full of brotherly love, kind-hearted, humble-minded;

Even if you should suffer for righteousness, count yourselves blessed! 'Do not let men terrify you, or allow yourselves to be dismayed.'
