and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake.

For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will by any means pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

But I say to you that anyone who is angry with his brother shall be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca,' shall be answerable to the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of hell.

Truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.

But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to become an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

But I say to you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

"Thus, when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

"And when you fast, do not look gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a plank in your own eye?

"Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'

But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?

Truly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;

When they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."

Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her deeds."

Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand; and seeing you will see and not perceive.

For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might have received from me is a gift to God'

He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.'

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of Man is?"

And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

And the disciples asked him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

and he said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

"Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

If any one says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and he will send them immediately."

And Jesus answered them, "Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will be done.

The baptism of Johnwhere was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet."

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a question,

"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'If any one swears by the temple, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'

And you say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift that is on it, he is bound by his oath.'

And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'

Truly, I say to you, all this will come upon this generation.

For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

But he answered them, "You see all these things, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

Then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.

So if they say to you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place.

Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'

But he replied, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.'

Then the King will say to those on his right hand, 'Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'

"Then he will say to those on his left hand, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'

Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"

And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

And they were very sorrowful, and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"

Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. But I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" So Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

and he said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?

"I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."

Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'"

He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God),

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."

And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

For he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will not enter it."

Peter began to say to him, "See, we have left everything and followed you."

Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'"

Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

And they reasoned among themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'From men'"they feared the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him; and they asked him a question, saying:
