they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.

In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify your Father in heaven."

so that you will become children of your Father in heaven, because he makes his sun rise on both evil and good people, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous.

So be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

so that your giving may be done in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees from the hidden place will reward you.

Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Therefore, this is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

Because if you forgive people their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive people their offenses, your Father will not forgive your offenses."

so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but by your Father who is in the hidden place. And your Father who watches from the hidden place will reward you."

Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you?

because it is the unbelievers who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!

"Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

But whoever denies me before people I, too, will deny before my Father in heaven."

I came to turn "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

"The one who loves his father or mother more than me isn't worthy of me, and the one who loves a son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me.

At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants.

Yes, Father, because this is what was pleasing to you.

All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one fully knows the Son except the Father, and no one fully knows the Father except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

because whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

Because God said, "You are to honor your father and your mother,' and, "Whoever curses father or mother must certainly be put to death.'

But you say, "Whoever tells his father or his mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me has been given to God,"

and said, "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

Jesus said, ""You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and, "you must love your neighbor as yourself.'"

In fact, everyone who has left his homes, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

He told them, "You will indeed drink from my cup. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right hand or at my left. These positions have already been prepared for others by my Father."

Then the father went to the other son and told him the same thing. He replied, "I will, sir,' but he didn't go.

And don't call anyone on earth "Father,' because you have only one Father, the one in heaven.

"No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,

Going on a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, "O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."
