But he did not live with her as a husband until she had had a son, and he named the child Jesus.

and said, "Wake up! Take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."

But he answered, "The Scripture says, 'Not on bread alone is man to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God!' "

"You have heard that they were told, 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for your persecutors,

For if you love only those who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not the very tax-collectors do that?

No slave can belong to two masters, for he will either hate one and love the other, or stand by one and make light of the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about life, wondering what you will have to eat or drink, or about your body, wondering what you will have to wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body than clothes?

But which of you with all his worry can add a single hour to his life?

But the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few that find it.

Just as he said this to them, an official came up and bowing low before him said to him, "My daughter has just died. But come! Lay your hand on her and she will come to life!"

Whoever gains his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will gain it.

Then it goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there, and in the end the man is worse off than he was before. That is the way it will be with this present wicked age."

And do not all his sisters live here among us? Then where did he get all this?"

It was then that Jesus Christ for the first time explained to his disciples that he had to go to Jerusalem and endure great suffering there at the hands of the elders, high priests, and scribes, and be killed, and be raised to life on the third day.

For whoever wants to preserve his own life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me will find it.

For what good will it do a man if he gains the whole world but parts with his life? What can a man give to buy back his life?

I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the Son of Man come to reign!"

and they will kill him, but on the third day he will be raised to life again." And they were greatly distressed.

"But if your own hand or your own foot makes you fall, cut it off and throw it away. You might better enter upon life maimed or crippled than keep both hands and feet but be thrown into the everlasting fire.

And if your own eye makes you fall, dig it out and throw it away. You might better enter upon life with only one eye than be thrown with both eyes into the fiery pit.

A man came up to him and said, "Master, what good deed must I do to obtain eternal life?"

But he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter that life, keep the commandments."

Honor your father and mother,' and 'You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself.' "

And anyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or land for my sake will receive many times as much, and share eternal life.

and hand him over to the heathen to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and on the third day he will be raised to life."

just as the Son of Man has come not to be waited on, but to wait on other people, and to give his life to ransom many others."

For after the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but they live as angels do in heaven.

And he said to him, " 'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind.'

There is a second like it: 'You must love your neighbor as you do yourself.'

and because of the increase of wickedness, most men's love will grow cold.

Then they will go away to everlasting punishment, and the upright to everlasting life."

As they were eating Jesus took a loaf and blessed it, and he broke it in pieces and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it. It is my body!"

But after I am raised to life again, I will go back to Galilee before you."

and made a wreath of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a stick in his hand, and knelt down before him in mockery, saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!"

And as he was passing along he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting at the tollhouse, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.

And he said to them, "Is it allowable to do people good on the Sabbath, or to do them harm? To save life or kill?" But they made no answer.

and appealed to him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come, lay your hands on her, so that she may get well and live!"

Is he not the carpenter, Mary's son, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?"

Now they had forgotten to bring any bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

For whoever wants to preserve his own life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me and for the good news will preserve it.

For what good does it do a man to gain the whole world and yet part with his life?

For what can a man give to buy back his life?

And he said to them, "I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the reign of God come in its might."

If your hand makes you fall, cut it off. You might better enter upon life maimed, than go with both your hands to the pit, into the fire that cannot be put out.

And if your foot makes you fall, cut it off. You might better enter upon life crippled, than be thrown with both your feet into the pit.

Salt is a good thing, but if salt loses its strength, what will you use to season it? You must have salt within you, and live in peace with one another."

As he was starting again on his journey, a man came running up to him, and knelt at his feet and asked him, "Good master, what must I do to make sure of eternal life?"

but will receive now in this life a hundred times as much in homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and lands, though not without persecution??nd in the coming age eternal life.

For the Son of Man himself has not come to be waited on, but to wait on other people, and to give his life to free many others."

For when people rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, but they live as angels do in heaven.

and you must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole mind, and your whole strength.'

And this is the second: 'You must love your neighbor as you do yourself.' No other command is greater than these."

and to love him with one's whole heart, one's whole understanding, and one's whole strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self is far more than all these burnt-offerings and sacrifices."

For they all gave of what they had to spare, but she in her want has put in everything she possessed??ll she had to live on."

As they were eating, he took a loaf and blessed it, and he broke it in pieces and gave it to them saying, "Take this. It is my body."

But after I am raised to life again I will go back to Galilee before you."

and they began to acclaim him, "Long live the king of the Jews!"

the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

the son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

Jesus answered, "The Scripture says, 'Not on bread alone is man to live!' "

After this he went out, and he saw a tax-collector named Levi sitting at the tollhouse, and he said to him, "Follow me!"

Then Levi gave a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great throng of tax-collectors and others who were at table with them.

Jesus said to them, "I want to ask you, Is it allowable on the Sabbath to do people good or to do them harm? to save life or to destroy it?"

"Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied! "Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh!

"Alas for you who have plenty to eat now, for you will be hungry! "Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep!

"But I tell you who hear me, love your enemies, treat those who hate you well,

If you love only those who love you, what merit is there in that? For even godless people love those who love them.

But love your enemies, and help them and lend to them, never despairing, and you will be richly rewarded, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked.

When the captain heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, to ask him to come and save his slave's life.

Then what did you go out there to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Men who wear fine clothes and live in luxury you find in palaces.

Now there was a woman in the town who was leading a sinful life, and when she learned that he was having dinner at the Pharisee's house, she got an alabaster flask of perfume,

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet, he would know who and what the woman is who is touching him, for she leads a wicked life."

And what falls among the thorns means those who listen and pass on, and the worries and wealth and pleasures of life stifle them and they yield nothing.

And when he landed, he met a man possessed by demons, who was coming out of the town. He had worn no clothing for a long time, and did not live in a house but in the tombs.

and some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.

They answered, "John the Baptist, though others say Elijah, and others that one of the old prophets has come back to life."

and said, "The Son of Man must endure great suffering and be refused by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and be raised to life on the third day."

For whoever wants to preserve his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me will preserve it.

I tell you, some of you who stand here will certainly live to see the Kingdom of God!"

Then an expert in the Law got up to test him and said, "Master, what must I do to make sure of eternal life?"

He answered, " 'You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength, and your whole mind,' and 'your neighbor as you do yourself.' "

Jesus said to him, "You are right. Do that, and you will live."

Then it goes and gets seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there, and in the end the man is worse off than he was before."

But give your inmost life as charity, and you will immediately find everything clean.

But alas for you Pharisees! For you pay tithes on mint, rue, and every tiny herb, and disregard justice and the love of God. But you should have observed these, without neglecting the others.

Alas for you Pharisees! For you love to have the front seat in the synagogues and to be saluted with respect in public places.

And he said to them, "Take care! You must be on your guard against any form of greed, for a man's life does not belong to him, no matter how rich he is."

And he said to his disciples, "Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about life, wondering what you will have to eat, or about your body, wondering what you will have to wear.

Life is more important than food, and the body than clothes.

Which of you with all his worry can add a single hour to his life?

Or those eighteen people at Siloam who were killed when the tower fell upon them??o you think they were worse offenders than all the other people who live in Jerusalem?

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because your brother was dead, and has come to life, and was lost and is found!' "
