But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to be baptized, he said to them, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Jesus said to him, Again it is written, "Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God."

and said to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

the people that sat in darkness, saw a great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light arose."

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid;

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, "Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the Judges."

Ye have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

And it was said, "Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement."

Again ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, "Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths."

Ye have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

Ye have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy."

Moreover, when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truly do I say to you, They have received their reward.

But the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; but only command with a word, and my servant will be made well.

When Jesus heard this, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly do I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was made well in that hour.

And Jesus, seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to depart to the other side.

And a certain scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass by that way.

And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine. And lo! the whole herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and perished in the waters.

And lo! they brought to him a man that was palsied, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the palsied man, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven.

And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This man is blaspheming.

And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said, Wherefore have ye evil thoughts in your hearts?

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why doth your teacher eat with the publicans and sinners?

But when he heard that, he said, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick.

And Jesus said to them, Can the companions of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then will they fast.

And he turned round, and seeing her, said, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath made thee well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

said, Withdraw; for the girl is not dead, but is sleeping. And they laughed him to scorn.

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out the demons through the prince of the demons.

For I came to set a man at variance with his father, and a daughter with her mother, and a bride with her motherinlaw;

and said to him, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye hear and see.

The blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and to the poor good tidings are brought;

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes.

Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.

But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to him, Lo! thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry?

And he said to them, Who of you that owneth one sheep, if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it, and lift it out?

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this the son of David?

But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This man doth not cast out the demons, except through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.

The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the shore of the lake;

and great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

And the disciples came and said to him, Why dost thou speak to them in parables?

He answered and said, Because to you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it hath not been given.

Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it tares?

He said to them, An enemy did this. The servants say to him, Dost thou wish then that we go and gather them up?

But he said, Nay; lest, while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.

He answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man.

The field is the world; the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the Evil One;

which, when it was full, they drew upon the beach, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.

And he said to them, Thus then every scribe, instructed for the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder, who bringeth out from his storehouse things new and old.

And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and the miracles?

and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

And she, being set on by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

But he said to them, They need not go away; do ye give them food.

He said, Bring them hither to me.

and he constrained the disciples to get into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And he said, Come. And Peter, coming down from the boat, walked on the water, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him, Thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

But he answered and said to them, Why do ye too transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

And calling the multitude, he said to them, Hear, and understand.

But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up.

And Peter answering said to him, Explain to us that dark saying.

And he said, Are ye too still without discernment?

But he answered and said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But he answering said, It is not allowable to take the childrens bread, and throw it to the little dogs.

And she said, Yea, Lord; for the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

And he answering said to them, When it is evening, ye say, Fair weather! for the sky is red.

And the disciples having come to the other side, had forgotten to take bread.

And Jesus said to them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And Jesus knowing it, said, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no bread?

How is it that ye do not understand, that I spoke not to you of loaves? But [I said] Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And they said, Some, John the Baptist; but some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

But he turned and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan! thou art my stumblingblock; for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, I will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And he answering said, Elijah indeed cometh, and will restore all things.
