But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”

“It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.

“Again, you have heard that it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but you must keep your oaths to the Lord.

“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!

For God said:

Honor your father and your mother; and,
The one who speaks evil of father or mother
must be put to death.

From then on Jesus began to point out to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

So the disciples questioned Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and rebellious generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”

Just then someone came up and asked Him, “Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life?”

It must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave;

You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, because these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

“then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house.

And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.

This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

For Moses said:

Honor your father and your mother; and
Whoever speaks evil of father or mother
must be put to death.

Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, be killed, and rise after three days.

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

Then they began to question Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

“Elijah does come first and restores everything,” He replied. “How then is it written about the Son of Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

He replied to them, “You unbelieving generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to Me.”

Sitting down, He called the Twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all.

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed; these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations.

“When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it should not” (let the reader understand), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house.

And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.

And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.

Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn’t arrest Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

He replied to them, “The one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none, and the one who has food must do the same.”

But Jesus answered him, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.”

But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.”

saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.”

Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Just then an expert in the law stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what must be said.”

You must be like people waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

Yet I must travel today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem!

“But without exception they all began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

On that day, a man on the housetop, whose belongings are in the house, must not come down to get them. Likewise the man who is in the field must not turn back.

A ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today I must stay at your house.”

When you hear of wars and rebellions, don’t be alarmed. Indeed, these things must take place first, but the end won’t come right away.”

Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains! Those inside the city must leave it, and those who are in the country must not enter it,

But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving.

For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws. Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment.”

saying, ‘The Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day’?”

Then He told them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

He must increase, but I must decrease.”

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

We must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.

But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me. Where I am, there My servant also will be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

Then the crowd replied to Him, “We have heard from the scripture that the Messiah will remain forever. So how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

I’m not speaking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: The one who eats My bread has raised his heel against Me.

“I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another.

“Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.

“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.

“We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

For they still did not understand the Scripture that He must rise from the dead.

When they heard this, they came under deep conviction and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Brothers, what must we do?”

Heaven must welcome Him until the times of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about by the mouth of His holy prophets from the beginning.

Moses said:

The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He will say to you.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it.”

But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

“But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

I will show him how much he must suffer for My name!”

Again, a second time, a voice said to him, “What God has made clean, you must not call common.”

Peter said to them, “You know it’s forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner. But God has shown me that I must not call any person common or unclean.

But a voice answered from heaven a second time, ‘What God has made clean, you must not call common.’

Then he escorted them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

When these events were over, Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem. “After I’ve been there,” he said, “I must see Rome as well!”

Therefore, since these things are undeniable, you must keep calm and not do anything rash.

But if you want something else, it must be decided in a legal assembly.

“I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest,” replied Paul. “For it is written, You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.”

The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Have courage! For as you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”

that the Messiah must suffer, and that as the first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

and said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And, look! God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’

However, we must run aground on a certain island.”

you then, who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach, “You must not steal”—do you steal?

You who say, “You must not commit adultery”—do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob their temples?

Absolutely not! God must be true, even if everyone is a liar, as it is written:

That You may be justified in Your words
and triumph when You judge.

Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.

Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God.

Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience.

One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat, and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him.

One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.
