He that finds his life shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it.

He that receives you, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him that sent me.

He that receives a prophet be cause he is a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.

and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

and blessed is he that shall find in me no cause of offense.

and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come.

He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

And thou, Capernaum, that hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hades. For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained till this day.

At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.

Come to me, all you that are weary, and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

At that time Jesus was going, on the Sabbath, through the fields of grain; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pull the ears of grain, and to eat.

Or, have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.

And behold, a man was there that had a withered hand. And they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath-days? that they might accuse him.

And he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the Sabbath-day, will he not lay hold on it and lift it out?

But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, that they might destroy him.

But Jesus perceived it, and withdrew from that place. And many multitudes followed him, and he cured them all.

that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb: and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.

He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathers not with me, scatters.

Therefore I say to you, That every sin and impious speech shad be forgiven men: but the impious speech against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men.

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be for given him, either in the present age, or in that which is to come.

But I say to you, That for every idle word which men speak, they shall give account in the day of judgment.

Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be with this wicked generation.

But he answered and said to him that told him: Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea.

And many multitudes came together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him.

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way side.

He that received seed on the stony places is he that hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy.

He that received seed among the thorns, is he that hears the word; and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

But he that received seed on the good ground, is he that hears the word and understands it; who also produces fruit, and yields, one a hundred; another, sixty; another, thirty.

Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field.

He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Is it your will, then, that we go and gather them up?

Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like- a grain of mustard, that a man took and sowed in his field.

It is, indeed, the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is the largest of garden-plants, and be comes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and roost in its branches.

that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

He answered and said to them: He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;

the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.

The Son of man will send forth his angels, and collect out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who work iniquity,

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears to hear,- let him hear.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which, when a man finds it, he hides; and for the joy it gives, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

When he finds one pearl of great value, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys it.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is cast into the sea, and that gathers of every kind:

He said to them: Therefore, every scribe that is trained for the kingdom of heaven, is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasury things new and old.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.

And he came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said: Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus;

And when Jesus heard of it, he withdrew from that place, by ship, into a desert place apart: and the multitudes, when they heard of his departure, followed him, on foot, from the cities.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Truly, thou art the Son of God.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the neighboring country, and brought to him all that were sick;

and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his mantle; and as many as touched were perfectly saved.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees that were of Jerusalem, saying:

For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.

That which enters the mouth does not defile the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

Then came his disciples and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard that saying, were offended?

But he answered and said: Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.

Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast out into the sink?

These are the things that defile the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.

Then Jesus answered and said to her: woman, great is your faith; be it to you as you desire. And her daughter was restored to health from that hour.

so that the multitudes were astonished, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

How is it that you do not understand, that I did not speak of bread when I commanded you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

Then they understood that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

When Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?

They replied: Some say that thou art John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

He said to them: But who say you that I am?

And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

Then he charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.

Verily I say to you, There are some standing here that shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

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

But I say to you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him what they wished; so also shall the Son of man suffer at their hands.

Then, the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Immerser.

And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him: and the child was cured from that hour.

And Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed from this place to that, and it shall be removed: and nothing shall be impossible for you.

But that we may give them no offense, go to the sea, and throw in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first; and when you have opened his mouth, you will find a stater; take that, and give to them for me and you.

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, and said: Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

but whoever ensnares one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Alas for the world because of snares! for it is necessary that snares come: but alas for that man by whom the snare comes!

Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, That their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

For the Son of man has come to save that which is lost.

What think you? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them go astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, and go into the mountains, and seek for that which has gone astray?

And if it so be that he find it, verily I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.

But if he will not hear you, take with you one or two more, that, by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established.

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

For where there are two or three that have come together for my sake, there I am in the midst of them.

For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king that wished to settle accounts with his servants.

And when he began to make a settlement, there was brought to him one that owed him ten thou sand talents.

But as he was not able to pay, his lord commanded him, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, to be sold, and payment to be made.

And the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and let him go, and for gave him the debt.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying: Pay me what you owe.

When his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sad, and went and made known to their lord all that was done.

Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me.

And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him.

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan.

He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,
