Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; salute no one by the way. And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you. And abide in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you, and heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God hath come near to you. But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into its streets and say, Even the dust of your city that cleaveth to our feet we wipe off to you; but know this, that the kingdom of God hath come near. And I tell you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum! shalt thou be exalted to heaven? thou shalt be brought down to the underworld. He that hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; but he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.

Truly, truly do I say to you, He that entereth not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber; but he that entereth through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world. read more.

Jesus Christ » The words that jesus Christ spoke
It is the spirit which maketh alive; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

I know that ye are Abrahams offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham. Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God. Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I proceeded forth and am come; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word. Ye are of your father the Devil, and what your father desireth ye are ready to do. He was a murderer from the beginning; and he abideth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of it. But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I speak truth, Why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth Gods words; for this cause ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.

Self-righteousness » Instances of » Pharisees
No one when he has lighted a lamp, puts it into a secret place, or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that they who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is thine eye. When thine eye is clear, thy whole body also is in the light; but when it is disordered, thy body also is in darkness. Take heed therefore, that the light which is within thee be not darkness. read more.
If then thy whole body is enlightened, having no part dark, the whole will be as fully enlightened, as when a lamp with its bright shining giveth thee light. And when he had done speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at the table. And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not bathe before dinner. But the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inside is full of rapacity and wickedness. Fools, did not he who made the outside, make the inside also? But give what they contain in alms, and lo! all is clean to you. But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone. Woe to you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets. Woe to you, for ye are as tombs which are unseen, and men walking over them know it not. And one of the lawyers answering saith to him, Teacher, in saying these things, thou revilest us also. And he said, To you lawyers also, woe! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. So then ye bear witness to and approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and ye are building [their tombs]. Therefore the wisdom of God also said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute; that the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! because ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye have not entered yourselves, and those who were entering ye have hindered. And as he came out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very spiteful, and to press him to speak off hand about many things, lying in wait to catch something out of his mouth.

They answered him, We are Abrahams offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free? Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bondservant of sin. And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever. read more.

The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? Jesus answered, I have not a demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. But I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Truly, truly do I say to you, If any one keep my word, he will never see death. The Jews said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he will never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Whom dost thou make thyself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God: yet ye know him not; but I know him. And if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his word. Your father Abraham exulted that he might see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been. They therefore took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple.

They reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

We know that God heareth not sinners; but if any one is a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began, it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" For this cause they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them." These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Yet even of the rulers many believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put of the synagogue; for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.
