Well, if for all your evil you know to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father give the holy Spirit from heaven to those who ask him?"

He knew what they were thinking about, so he said to them, "Any realm divided against itself comes to ruin, house after house falls down;

Better cleanse what is within; then nothing will be unclean for you.

thus you testify and consent to what your fathers did, for they killed and you build.

So all you utter in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you whisper in chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops,

When they bring you before synagogues and the magistrates and authorities, do not trouble yourselves about how to defend yourselves or what to say,

for the holy Spirit will teach you at that hour what you should say."

So he debated, 'What am I to do? I have no room to store my crops.'

And he said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my granaries and build larger ones, where I can store all my produce and my goods.

To his disciples he said, "Therefore I tell you, do not trouble about what you are to eat in life, nor about what you are to put on your body;

Sell what you possess and give it away in alms, make purses for yourselves that never wear out: get treasure in heaven that never fails, that no thief can get at, no moth destroy.

Be sure that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

whereas he who was ignorant and did what deserves a beating, will receive few lashes. He who has much given him will have much required from him, and he who has much entrusted to him will have all the more demanded of him.

And why do you not yourselves settle what is right?

So he said, "What is the Reign of God like? to what shall I compare it?

He added, "To what shall I compare the Reign of God?

Or what king sets out to fight against another king without first sitting down to deliberate whether with ten thousand men he can encounter the king who is attacking him with twenty thousand?

Salt is excellent indeed: but if salt becomes insipid, what will restore its flavour?

so, summoning one of the servants, he asked what this meant.

So he summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Hand in your accounts; you cannot be factor any longer.'

The factor said to himself, 'What am I to do, now that my master is taking the factorship away from me? I am too weak to dig, I am ashamed to beg.

Ah, I know what I will do, so that people will welcome me to their houses when I am deposed from the factorship.'

And if you are not faithful with what belongs to another, how can you ever be given what is your own?

So he told them, "You are the people who get men to think you are good, but God knows what your hearts are! What is lofty in the view of man is loathsome in the eyes of God.

Listen," said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says!

Then a ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what am I to do to inherit life eternal?"

He said, "What is impossible for men is possible for God."

However, they did not understand a word of this; indeed the saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what he meant.

When he heard the crowd passing he inquired what was the matter,

"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he said, "I want to regain my sight."

who tried to see what Jesus was like; but he could not, on account of the crowd ??for he was small of stature.

However he secured the royal power and came home. Then he ordered the servants to be called who had been given the money, that he might find out what business they had done.

for I was afraid of you, you are such a hard man ??picking up what you never put down, and reaping what you never sowed.'

He replied, 'You rascal of a servant, I will convict you by what you have said yourself. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man, picking up what I never put down, and reaping what I never sowed!

'I tell you, to everyone who has shall more be given, but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken.

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untethering it?' this is what you will say, 'The Lord needs it.'"

saying, "Would that you too knew even to-day on what your peace depends! But no, it is hidden from you!

but they could not discover what was to be done, for the whole of the people hung upon his lips.

"Tell us," they said, "what authority you have for acting in this way? Who was it that gave you this authority?"

Jesus said to them, "No more will I tell you what authority I have for acting as I do."

Said the owner of the vineyard, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'

And they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

But he looked at them and said, "Then what does this scripture mean? ??The stone that the builders rejected is the chief stone now of the corner.

So watching their chance they sent spies who pretended to be honest persons, in order to seize on what he said and get him handed over to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

They put this question to him, "Teacher, we know you are straight in what you say and teach, you do not look to human favour but teach the Way of God honestly.

"Well then," he said to them, "give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God."

So they could not seize on what he said before the people, and marvelling at his reply they said nothing.

"As for what you see, there are days coming when not a stone will be left upon another, without being torn down."

So they asked him, "Teacher, and when will this happen? What will be the sign for this to take place?"

men swooning with panic and foreboding of what is to befall the universe. For the orbs of the heavens will be shaken,

Now when the supporters of Jesus saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with our swords?"

"Man," said Peter, "I do not know what you mean." Instantly, just as he was speaking, the cock crowed;

the Lord turned round and looked at Peter, and then Peter remembered what the Lord had told him, that 'Before cock-crow to-day you will disown me three times.'

So they said, "What more evidence do we need? We have heard it from his own lips."

He asked them a third time, "But what crime has he committed? I have found nothing about him that deserves death; so I shall release him with a whipping."

For if this is what they do when the wood is green, what will they do when the wood is dry?"

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, they do not know what they are doing." Then they distributed his clothes among themselves by drawing lots.

And we suffer justly; we are getting what we deserve for our deeds. But he has done no harm."

When the army-captain saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "This man was really innocent."

And when all the crowds who had collected for the sight saw what had happened, they turned away beating their breasts.

Then they remembered what he had said,

Peter did get up and run to the tomb, but when he looked in he saw nothing except the linen bandages; so he went away home wondering what had happened.

He said to them, "What is all this you are debating on your walk?" They stopped, looking downcast,

and one of them, called Cleopas, answered him, "Are you a lone stranger in Jerusalem, not to know what has been happening there?"

"What is that?" he said to them. They replied, "All about Jesus of Nazaret! To God and all the people he was a prophet strong in action and utterance,

Then he said to them, "When I was still with you, this is what I told you, that whatever is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

And I will send down on you what my Father has promised; wait in the city till you are endued with power from on high."

he came to what was his own, yet his own folk did not welcome him.

They asked him, "Then what are you? Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.

"Then who are you?" they said; "tell us, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

The two disciples heard what he said and went after Jesus.

Now Jesus turned, and when he observed them coming after him, he asked them, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated, 'teacher'), "where are you staying?"

One of the two men who heard what John said and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Peter.

"Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time has not come yet."

Then the Jews accosted him with the words, "What sign of authority have you to show us, for acting in this way?"

and when the disciples recalled what he had said, after he had been raised from the dead, they believed the scripture and the word of Jesus.

and required no evidence from anyone about human nature; well did he know what was in human nature.

What is born of the flesh is flesh: what is born of the Spirit is Spirit.

Truly, truly I tell you, we are speaking of what we do understand, we testify to what we have actually seen ??and yet you refuse our testimony.

You can bear me out, that I said, 'I am not the Christ'; what I said was, 'I have been sent in advance of him.'

He] is testifying to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony.

The Samaritan woman said, "What? You are a Jew, and you ask me for a drink ??me, a Samaritan!" (Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered, "If you knew what is the free gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked him instead, and he would have given you 'living' water."

You are worshipping something you do not know; we are worshipping what we do know ??for salvation comes from the Jews.

At this point his disciples came up; they were surprised that he was talking to a woman, but none of them said, "What is it?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

and far more of them believed on account of what he said himself.

As they told the woman, "We no longer believe on account of what you said; we have heard for ourselves, we know that he is really the Saviour of the world."

Jesus told him, "Go yourself, your son is alive." The man believed what Jesus told him, and started on his journey.

So he asked them at what hour he had begun to improve; they told him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

For an angel used to descend from time to time into the bath, and disturb the water; whereupon the first person who stepped in after the water was disturbed was restored to health, no matter what disease he had been afflicted with].

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you ever believe what I say?"

(He said this to test Philip, for he knew what he was going to do himself.)

"There is a servant here, with five barley-cakes and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

Then they asked him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?"

"Well then," they said, "what is the Sign you perform, that we may see it and believe you? What work have you to show?

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he formerly existed?

What gives life is the Spirit: flesh is of no avail at all. The words I have uttered to you are spirit and life.

so his brothers said to him, "Leave this and go across into Judaea, to let your disciples witness what you can do;
