THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
Mat 3:15 “Let it be this way for now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness.“
Mat 4:4 “It is written, ‘One must not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out of the mouth of God.‘”
Mat 4:7 “It is also written, ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.‘”
Mat 4:10 “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.‘”
Mat 4:17 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!“
Mat 4:19 “Follow me, and I will make you fishermen of people!“
Mat 5:3 “How blessed are those who are destitute in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
Mat 5:4 “How blessed are those who mourn, for it is they who will be comforted!
Mat 5:5 “How blessed are those who are humble, for it is they who will inherit the earth!
Mat 5:6 “How blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, for it is they who will be satisfied!
Mat 5:7 “How blessed are those who are merciful, for it is they who will receive mercy!
Mat 5:8 “How blessed are those who are pure in heart, for it is they who will see God!
Mat 5:9 “How blessed are those who make peace, for it is they who will be called God’s children!
Mat 5:10 “How blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
Mat 5:11 “How blessed are you whenever people insult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of evil things against you falsely because of me!
Mat 5:12 Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! For that’s how they persecuted the prophets who came before you.”
Mat 5:13 “You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It’s good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.
Mat 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
Mat 5:15 People don’t light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
Mat 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.“
Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn’t come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
Mat 5:18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter or one stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been accomplished.
Mat 5:19 So whoever sets aside one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness greatly exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!“
Mat 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to those who lived long ago, ‘You must not murder,’ and ‘Whoever murders will be subject to punishment.‘
Mat 5:22 But I say to you, anyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be subject to punishment. And whoever says to his brother ‘Raka!’ will be subject to the Council. And whoever says ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hell fire.
Mat 5:23 “So if you are presenting your gift at the altar and remember there that your brother has something against you,
Mat 5:24 leave your gift there before the altar and first go and be reconciled to your brother. Then come and offer your gift.
Mat 5:25 Come to terms quickly with your opponent while you are on the way to court, or your opponent may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.
Mat 5:26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out of there until you pay back the last penny!“
Mat 5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.‘
Mat 5:28 But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mat 5:29 So if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell.
Mat 5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into hell.”
Mat 5:31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’
Mat 5:32 But I say to you, any man who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
Mat 5:33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to those who lived long ago, ‘You must not swear an oath falsely,’ but ‘You must fulfill your oaths to the Lord.’
Mat 5:34 But I tell you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is God’s throne,
Mat 5:35 nor by the earth, because it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the Great King.
Mat 5:36 Nor should you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
Mat 5:37 Instead, let your word be ‘Yes’ for ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ for ‘No.’ Anything more than that comes from the evil one.”
Mat 5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
Mat 5:39 But I tell you not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.
Mat 5:40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well.
Mat 5:41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go two with him.
Mat 5:42 Give to the person who asks you for something, and do not turn away from the person who wants to borrow something from you.”
Mat 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Mat 5:45 so that you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Mat 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they?
Mat 5:47 And if you greet only your brothers, what great thing are you doing? Even the gentiles do the same, don’t they?
Mat 5:48 “So be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.“
Mat 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Mat 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Mat 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Mat 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Mat 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Mat 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Mat 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mat 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Mat 7:1 “Stop judging, so that you won’t be judged.
Mat 7:2 For with the judgment you use, you will be judged. And with the measure you use, you will be measured.
Mat 7:3 “Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when the beam is in your own eye?
Mat 7:5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
Mat 7:6 “Never give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them with their feet and then turn around and attack you.”
Mat 7:7 “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you.
Mat 7:8 For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened.
Mat 7:9 “There isn’t a person among you who would give his son a stone if he asked for bread, is there?
Mat 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, he wouldn’t give him a snake, would he?
Mat 7:11 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!
Mat 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
Mat 7:13 “Go in through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is spacious that leads to destruction, and many people are entering by it.
Mat 7:14 How narrow is the gate and how constricted is the road that leads to life, and few are the people who find it!”
Mat 7:15 “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheeps’ clothing but inwardly are savage wolves.
Mat 7:16 By their fruit you will know them. Grapes aren’t gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?
Mat 7:17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.
Mat 7:20 So by their fruit you will know them.”
Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who keeps saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name, drove out demons in your name, and performed many miracles in your name, didn’t we?’
Mat 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you evildoers!'”
Mat 7:24 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
Mat 7:25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation was on the rock.
Mat 7:26 “Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
Mat 7:27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and battered that house, and it collapsed, and its collapse was devastating.”
Mat 8:3 “I do want to. Be made clean!”
Mat 8:4 “See to it that you don’t speak to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded as proof to the authorities.”
Mat 8:7 “I will come and heal him.”
Mat 8:10 “Truly I tell you, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!
Mat 8:11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and will feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 8:12 But the citizens of that kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Mat 8:13 “Go. It will be done for you just as you have believed.”
Mat 8:20 “Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest.”
Mat 8:22 “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Mat 8:26 “Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?”
Mat 8:32 “Go,”
Mat 9:2 “Be courageous, son! Your sins are forgiven.”
Mat 9:4 “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?
Mat 9:5 For which is easier: to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
Mat 9:6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
“Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!”
Mat 9:9 “Follow me.”
Mat 9:12 “Healthy people don’t need a physician, but sick people do.
Mat 9:13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners.”
Mat 9:15 “The wedding guests can’t mourn as long as the groom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.”
Mat 9:16 “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.
Mat 9:17 Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Mat 9:22“Be courageous, daughter! Your faith has made you well.”
Mat 9:24“Go away! The girl hasn’t died but is sleeping.”
Mat 9:28 “Do you believe I can do this?”
Mat 9:29 “According to your faith, let it be done for you!”
Mat 9:30“See to it that nobody knows about this.”
Mat 9:37 “The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.
Mat 9:38 So ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”
Mat 10:5 “Don’t turn off into the road that leads to the gentiles, and don’t enter a town of the Samaritans.
Mat 10:6 Go, instead, to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.
Mat 10:7 As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven is near!’
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without payment you have received; without payment you are to give.
Mat 10:9 Don’t take any gold, silver, or copper in your moneybags,
Mat 10:10 or a traveling bag for the trip, or an extra shirt, or sandals, or a walking stick. For a worker deserves his food.
Mat 10:11 “Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you leave.
Mat 10:12 As you enter the house, greet it.
Mat 10:13 If the house is receptive, let your blessing of peace come on it. But if it isn’t receptive, let your blessing of peace return to you.
Mat 10:14 If no one welcomes you or listens to your words, as you leave that house or town, shake its dust off your feet.
Mat 10:15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!”
Mat 10:16 “See, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves.
Mat 10:17 Watch out for people, for they will hand you over to the local councils and whip you in their synagogues.
Mat 10:18 Because of me you will be brought before governors and kings to testify to them and the gentiles.
Mat 10:19 When they hand you over, don’t worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say, for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you.
Mat 10:20 For it won’t be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Mat 10:21 “Brother will hand brother over to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against parents and have them put to death.
Mat 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 10:23 So when they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you certainly will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Mat 10:24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, and a slave is not above his master.
Mat 10:25 It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher and a slave to be like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they do the same to those of his household!”
Mat 10:26 “So never be afraid of them. For there is nothing covered that will not be exposed, and nothing secret that will not be made known.
Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is whispered in your ear you must shout from the housetops.
Mat 10:28 Stop being afraid of those who kill the body but can’t kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell.
Mat 10:29 “Two sparrows are sold for a penny, aren’t they? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s permission.
Mat 10:30 Indeed, even the hairs on your head have all been counted!
Mat 10:31 So stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows.”
Mat 10:32 “Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But whoever denies me before people I, too, will deny before my Father in heaven.”
Mat 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword!
Mat 10:35 For I came to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her motherin-law.
Mat 10:36 A person’s enemies will be members of his own family.’
Mat 10:37 “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.
Mat 10:38 The one who doesn’t take up his cross and follow me isn’t worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 The one who finds his life will lose it, and the one who loses his life because of me will find it.”
Mat 10:40 “The one who receives you receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.
Mat 10:41 The one who receives a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.
Mat 10:42 Truly I tell you, whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple will never lose his reward.”
Mat 11:4“Go and tell John what you hear and observe:
Mat 11:5 the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.
Mat 11:6 How blessed is anyone who is not offended by me!”
Mat 11:7 “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Mat 11:8 Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fancy clothes live in kings’ houses.
Mat 11:9 Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
Mat 11:10 This is the man about whom it is written, ‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’
Mat 11:11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women no one has appeared who is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Mat 11:12 “From the days of John the Baptist until the present, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people have been attacking it.
Mat 11:13 For the Law and all the Prophets prophesied up to the time of John,
Mat 11:14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
Mat 11:15 Let the person who has ears listen!
Mat 11:16 “To what can I compare this generation? It’s like little children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to each other,
Mat 11:17 ‘A wedding song we played for you, the dance you did but scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too, but then you would not mourn.’
Mat 11:18 For John didn’t come eating or drinking, yet people say, ‘He has a demon!’
Mat 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Absolved from every act of sin, is wisdom by her kith and kin.”
Mat 11:21 “How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Mat 11:22 Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you!
Mat 11:23 And you, Capernaum! You won’t be lifted up to heaven, will you? You’ll go down to Hell! For if the miracles that happened in you had taken place in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
Mat 11:24 Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you!”
Mat 11:25 “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.
Mat 11:26 Yes, Father, for this is what was pleasing to you.
Mat 11:27 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.
Mat 11:28 “Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Place my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.”
Mat 12:3“Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
Mat 12:4 How is it that he went into the house of God and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him and his companions to eat but was reserved for the priests?
Mat 12:5 Or haven’t you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
Mat 12:6 But I tell you, something greater than the temple is here!
Mat 12:7 If you had known what ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice’ means, you would not have condemned the innocent.
Mat 12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Mat 12:11 “Is there a man among you who, if he had one sheep and it fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and pull it out?
Mat 12:12 How much more is a human being worth than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
Mat 12:13“Hold out your hand.”
Mat 12:25“Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Mat 12:26 So if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How, then, can his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27 If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followers drive them out? That is why they will be your judges!
Mat 12:28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
Mat 12:29 How can someone go into a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man? Then he can ransack his house.
Mat 12:30 “The person who isn’t with me is against me, and the person who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
Mat 12:31 So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Mat 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.”
Mat 12:33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten. For a tree is known by its fruit.
Mat 12:34 You children of serpents! How can you say anything good when you are evil? For the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
Mat 12:35 A good person brings good things out of a good treasure, and an evil person brings evil things out of an evil treasure.
Mat 12:36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give an account for every thoughtless word they utter.
Mat 12:37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Mat 12:39 “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign. Yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Mat 12:40 For just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look-something greater than Jonah is here!
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south will stand up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But looksomething greater than Solomon is here!”
Mat 12:43 “Whenever an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders through waterless places looking for a place to rest but finds none.
Mat 12:44 Then it says, ‘I will go back to my home that I left.’ When it arrives, it finds it empty, swept clean, and put in order.
Mat 12:45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and settle there. And so the final condition of that person becomes worse than the first. That’s just what will happen to this evil generation!”
Mat 12:48 “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
Mat 12:49“Here are my mother and my brothers!
Mat 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Mat 13:3“Listen! A sower went out to sow.
Mat 13:4 As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Mat 13:5 Other seeds fell on stony ground, where they did not have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once because the soil wasn’t deep.
Mat 13:6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.
Mat 13:7 Other seeds fell among thornbushes, and the thornbushes came up and choked them.
Mat 13:8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown.
Mat 13:9 Let the person who has ears listen!”
Mat 13:11 “You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but it hasn’t been given to them.
Mat 13:12 For to anyone who has something, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who doesn’t have anything, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Mat 13:13 That’s why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they look but don’t see, and they listen but don’t hear or understand.’
Mat 13:14 “With them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says: ‘You will listen and listen but never understand. You will look and look but never comprehend.
Mat 13:15 For this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing. They have shut their eyes so that they might not see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’
Mat 13:16 “How blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear!
Mat 13:17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them.”
Mat 13:18 “Listen, then, to the parable about the sower.
Mat 13:19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom yet doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
Mat 13:20 As for what was sown on the stony ground, this is the person who hears the word and accepts it at once with joy,
Mat 13:21 but since he doesn’t have any root in himself, he lasts for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, he immediately falls away.
Mat 13:22 As for what was sown among the thornbushes, this is the person who hears the word, but the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of wealth choke the word so that it can’t produce a crop.
Mat 13:23 But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word, understands it, and produces a crop that yields a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”
Mat 13:24 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Mat 13:25 While people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.
Mat 13:26 When the crop came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared, too.
Mat 13:27 The owner’s servants came and said to him, ‘Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn’t you? Then where did these weeds come from?’
Mat 13:28 He told them, ‘An enemy did this!’ The servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and pull them out?’
Mat 13:29 He said, ‘No, for if you pull out the weeds, you might pull out the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles for burning, but bring the wheat into my barn.”‘”
Mat 13:31 “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.
Mat 13:32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, when it is fully grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds in the sky come and nest in its branches.”
Mat 13:33 “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.”
Mat 13:37 “The person who sowed good seed is the Son of Man,
Mat 13:38 while the field is the world. The good seed are those who belong to the kingdom, while the weeds are those who belong to the evil one.
Mat 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 Just as weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at end of the age.
Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes others to sin and those who practice lawlessness
Mat 13:42 and they will throw them into a blazing furnace. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Let the person who has ears listen!”
Mat 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field that a man found and hid. In his joy he went and sold everything he had and bought that field.”
Mat 13:45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
Mat 13:46 When he found a very valuable pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.”
Mat 13:47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea that gathered all kinds of fish.
Mat 13:48 When it was full, the fishermen hauled it ashore. Then they sat down, sorted the good fish into containers, and threw the bad ones away.
Mat 13:49 That is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from the righteous
Mat 13:50 and will throw them into a blazing furnace. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Mat 13:51 “Do you understand all these things?”
Mat 13:52 “That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest.”
Mat 13:57 “A prophet is without honor only in his hometown and in his own home.”
Mat 14:16 “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
Mat 14:18 “Bring them here to me.”
Mat 14:27 “Have courage! It is I. Stop being afraid!”
Mat 14:29 “Come on!”
Mat 14:31 “You who have so little faith, why did you doubt?”
Mat 15:3“Why do you also disregard the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Mat 15:4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Whoever curses father or mother must certainly be put to death.’
Mat 15:5 But you say ‘Whoever tells his father or his mother, “Whatever support you might have received from me has been given to God,”
Mat 15:6 does not have to honor his father.’ Because of your tradition, then, you have revoked the authority of God’s word.
Mat 15:7 You hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said,
Mat 15:8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Mat 15:9 Their worship of me is empty, because they teach human rules as doctrines.'”
Mat 15:10 “Listen and understand!
Mat 15:11 It is not what goes into the mouth that makes a person unclean. It is what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean.”
Mat 15:13 “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be pulled up by the roots.
Mat 15:14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If one blind person leads another blind person, both will fall into a ditch.”
Mat 15:16 “Are you still so ignorant?
Mat 15:17 Don’t you know that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and then is expelled as waste?
Mat 15:18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean.
Mat 15:19 For it is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.
Mat 15:20 These are the things that make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands doesn’t make a person unclean.”
Mat 15:24“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.”
Mat 15:26 “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the puppies.”
Mat 15:28 “O woman, your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you want.”
Mat 15:32 “I have compassion for the crowd because they have already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away without food, or they may faint on the road.”
Mat 15:34 “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
Mat 16:2 “You say, ‘Red sky at night, what a delight!
Mat 16:3 Red sky in the morning, cloudy and storming.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, yet you can’t interpret the signs of the times?
Mat 16:4 An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.”
Mat 16:6 “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
Mat 16:8 “You who have little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you don’t have any bread?
Mat 16:9 Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the 5,000 and how many baskets you collected,
Mat 16:10 or the seven loaves for the 4,000 and how many baskets you collected?
Mat 16:11 How can you fail to understand that I wasn’t talking to you about bread? Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
Mat 16:13“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
Mat 16:15 “But who do you say I am?”
Mat 16:17 “How blessed are you, Simon, son of John! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven has.
Mat 16:18 I tell you that you are Peter, and it is on this rock that I will build my church, and the powers of hell will not conquer it.
Mat 16:19 I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will have been prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven.”
Mat 16:23 “Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me, for you are not thinking God’s thoughts but human thoughts!”
Mat 16:24 “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continually.
Mat 16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Mat 16:26 For what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?
Mat 16:27 The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done.
Mat 16:28 Truly I tell you, some people standing here will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Mat 17:7 “Get up, and stop being afraid.”
Mat 17:9 “Don’t tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
Mat 17:11“Elijah is indeed coming and will restore all things.
Mat 17:12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, yet people did not recognize him and treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
Mat 17:17 “You unbelieving and perverted generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!”
Mat 17:20 “Because of your lack of faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.
Mat 17:21 But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting.”
Mat 17:22 “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands.
Mat 17:23 They will kill him, but he will be raised on the third day.”
Mat 17:25“What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings on the earth collect tolls or tributes? From their own subjects, or from foreigners?”
Mat 17:26 “In that case, the subjects are exempt.
Mat 17:27 However, so that we don’t offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you.”
Mat 18:3 “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 18:4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,
Mat 18:5 and whoever receives a little child like this in my name receives me.”
Mat 18:6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned at the bottom of the sea.
Mat 18:7 How terrible it will be for the world because it causes people to sin! Temptations to sin are bound to happen, but how terrible it will be for that person who causes someone to sin!
Mat 18:8 “So if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life injured or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
Mat 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell fire.
Mat 18:10 “See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you, their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
Mat 18:11 For the Son of Man came to save the lost.”
Mat 18:12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them strays, he leaves the ninety-nine in the hills and goes to look for the one that has strayed, doesn’t he?
Mat 18:13 If he finds it, truly I tell you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that haven’t strayed.
Mat 18:14 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.”
Mat 18:15 “If your brother sins against you, go and confront him while the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two others with you so that ‘every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
Mat 18:17 If, however, he ignores them, tell it to the congregation. If he also ignores the congregation, regard him as a gentile and a tax collector.
Mat 18:18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you prohibit on earth will have been prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Furthermore, truly I tell you that if two of you agree on earth about anything you request, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three have come together in my name, I am there among them.”
Mat 18:22 “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
Mat 18:23 “That is why the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Mat 18:24 When he had begun to settle the accounts, a person who owed him 10,000 talents was brought to him.
Mat 18:25 Because he couldn’t pay, his master ordered him, his wife, his children, and all that he had to be sold so that payment could be made.
Mat 18:26 Then the servant fell down and bowed low before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything!’
Mat 18:27 The master of that servant had compassion and released him, canceling his debt.
Mat 18:28 “But when that servant went away, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him, seized him by the throat, and said, ‘Pay what you owe!’
Mat 18:29 Then his fellow servant fell down and began begging him, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’
Mat 18:30 But he refused and went and had him thrown into prison until he could repay the debt.
Mat 18:31 “When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very disturbed and went and reported to their master all that had occurred.
Mat 18:32 Then his master sent for him and said to him, ‘You evil servant! I canceled that entire debt for you because you begged me.
Mat 18:33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
Mat 18:34 In anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he could repay the entire debt.
Mat 18:35 This is how my heavenly Father will treat each one of you unless you forgive your brother from your hearts.”
Mat 19:4“Haven’t you read that the one who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female’
Mat 19:5 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’?
Mat 19:6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate.”
Mat 19:8 “It was because of your hardness of heart that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning it was not this way.
Mat 19:9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Mat 19:11 “Not everyone can accept this saying, except those to whom celibacy has been granted.
Mat 19:12 For some men are celibate from birth, while others are celibate because they have been made that way by others. Still others are celibate because they have made themselves that way for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”
Mat 19:14“Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these.”
Mat 19:17 “Why ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to get into that life, you must keep the commandments.”
Mat 19:18 “‘You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not give false testimony,
Mat 19:19 honor your father and mother,’ and ‘you must love your neighbor as yourself.'”
Mat 19:21“If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me.”
Mat 19:23“Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to get into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God.”
Mat 19:26“For humans this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
Mat 19:28“Truly I tell you, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the renewed creation, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 19:29 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.
Mat 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
Mat 20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
Mat 20:2 After agreeing with the workers for one denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 When he went out about nine o’clock, he saw others standing in the marketplace without work.
Mat 20:4 He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.’
Mat 20:5 So off they went. He went out again about noon and about three o’clock and did the same thing.
Mat 20:6 About five o’clock he went out and found some others standing around. He said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day long without work?’
Mat 20:7 They told him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard as well.’
Mat 20:8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and give them their wages, beginning with the last and ending with the first.’
Mat 20:9 Those who were hired at five o’clock came, and each received a denarius.
Mat 20:10 When the first came, they thought they would receive more, but each received a denarius as well.
Mat 20:11 When they received it, they began to complain to the landowner,
Mat 20:12 saying, ‘These last fellows worked only one hour, yet you have made them equal to us who have endured the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
Mat 20:13 But he said to one of them, ‘Friend, I’m not treating you unfairly. You did agree with me for a denarius, didn’t you?
Mat 20:14 Take what is yours and go. I want to give this last man as much as I gave you.
Mat 20:15 I am allowed to do what I want with my own money, am I not? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
Mat 20:16 In the same way, the last will be first, and the first will be last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Mat 20:18 “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death.
Mat 20:19 Then they will hand him over to the gentiles to be mocked, whipped, and crucified, but on the third day he will be raised.”
Mat 20:21 “What do you want?”
Mat 20:22 “You don’t realize what you’re asking. Can you drink from the cup that I’m going to drink from?”
Mat 20:23 “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.”
Mat 20:25 “You know that the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them and their superiors act like tyrants over them.
Mat 20:26 That’s not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,
Mat 20:27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.
Mat 20:28 That’s the way it is with the Son of Man. He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people.”
Mat 20:32 “What do you want me to do for you?”
Mat 21:2 “Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied up and a colt with it. Untie them, and bring them to me.
Mat 21:3 If anyone says anything to you, tell him, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and that person will send them at once.”
Mat 21:13 “It is written, ‘My house is to be called a house of prayer,’ but you are turning it into a hideout for bandits!”
Mat 21:16 “Yes! Haven’t you ever read, ‘From the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have created praise’?”
Mat 21:19 “May fruit never come from you again!”
Mat 21:21 “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you be able to do what has been done to the fig tree, but you will also say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.
Mat 21:22 You will receive whatever you ask for in prayer, if you believe.”
Mat 21:24 “I, too, will ask you one question. If you answer it for me, I will also tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Mat 21:25 Where did John’s authority to baptize come from? From heaven or from humans?”
Mat 21:27 “Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Mat 21:28 “But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
Mat 21:29 His son replied, ‘I don’t want to,’ but later he changed his mind and went.
Mat 21:30 Then the father went to the other son and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I will, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
Mat 21:31 Which of the two did the father’s will?” They answered, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes will get into God’s kingdom ahead of you.
Mat 21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, but you didn’t believe him. The tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. But even when you saw that, you didn’t change your minds at last and believe him.”
Mat 21:33 “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a wall around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went abroad.
Mat 21:34 When harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenant farmers to collect his produce.
Mat 21:35 But the farmers took his servants and beat one, killed another, and attacked another with stones.
Mat 21:36 Again, he sent other servants to them, a greater number than the first, but the tenant farmers treated them the same way.
Mat 21:37 Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’
Mat 21:38 But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come on, let’s kill him and get his inheritance!’
Mat 21:39 So they grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Mat 21:40 Now when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those farmers?”
Mat 21:42 “Have you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes’?
Mat 21:43 That is why I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce fruit for it.
Mat 21:44 The person who falls over this stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
Mat 22:2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.
Mat 22:3 He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come.
Mat 22:4 So he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look, I’ve prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!”‘
Mat 22:5 But they paid no attention to this and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.
Mat 22:6 The rest grabbed the king’s servants, treated them brutally, and then killed them.
Mat 22:7 Then the king became outraged. He sent his troops, and they destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Mat 22:8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
Mat 22:9 So go into the roads leading out of town and invite as many people as you can find to the wedding.’
Mat 22:10 Those servants went out into the streets and brought in all the people they found, evil and good alike, and the wedding hall was packed with guests.
Mat 22:11 “When the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
Mat 22:12 He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
Mat 22:13 Then the king told his servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the outer darkness! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Mat 22:14 For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
Mat 22:18 “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?
Mat 22:19 Show me the coin used for the tax.”
Mat 22:20 “Whose face and name is this?”
Mat 22:21 “Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Mat 22:29 “You are mistaken because you don’t know the Scriptures or God’s power.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection, people neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.
Mat 22:31 As for the resurrection from the dead, haven’t you read what was spoken to you by God when he said,
Mat 22:32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
Mat 22:37 “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
Mat 22:38 This is the greatest and most important commandment.
Mat 22:39 The second is like it: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’
Mat 22:40 All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.”
Mat 22:42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?”
Mat 22:43“Then how can David by the Spirit call him ‘Lord’ when he says,
Mat 22:44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”‘?
Mat 22:45 If David calls him ‘Lord’, how can he be his son?”
Mat 23:2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
Mat 23:3 So do whatever they tell you and follow it, but stop doing what they do, because they don’t do what they say.
Mat 23:4 They tie up burdens that are heavy and unbearable and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they refuse to lift a finger to remove them.
Mat 23:5 “They do all their actions to be seen by people. They increase the size of their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.
Mat 23:6 They love to have the places of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 to be greeted in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
Mat 23:8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are brothers.
Mat 23:9 And don’t call anyone on earth ‘Father,’ for you have only one Father, the one in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Nor are you to be called ‘Teachers,’ for you have only one teacher, the Christ!
Mat 23:11 The person who is greatest among you must be your servant.
Mat 23:12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Mat 23:13 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door to the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You don’t go in yourselves, and you don’t allow those who are trying to enter to go in.
Mat 23:14 How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You devour widows’ houses and say long prayers to cover it up. Therefore, you will receive greater condemnation!
Mat 23:15 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over sea and land to make a single convert, and when this happens you make him twice as fit for hell as you are.
Mat 23:16 “How terrible it will be for you, blind guides! You say, ‘Whoever swears an oath by the sanctuary is excused, but whoever swears an oath by the gold of the sanctuary must keep his oath.’
Mat 23:17 You blind fools! What is more important, the gold or the sanctuary that made the gold holy?
Mat 23:18 Again you say, ‘Whoever swears an oath by the altar is excused, but whoever swears by the gift that is on it must keep his oath.’
Mat 23:19 You blind men! Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?
Mat 23:20 Therefore, the one who swears an oath by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
Mat 23:21 The one who swears an oath by the sanctuary swears by it and by the one who lives there.
Mat 23:22 And the one who swears an oath by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
Mat 23:23 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you give a tenth of your mint, dill, and cummin, but have neglected the more important matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.
Mat 23:24 You blind guides! You filter out a gnat, yet swallow a camel!
Mat 23:25 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but on the inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Mat 23:26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup, so that its outside may also be clean.
Mat 23:27 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people’s bones and every kind of impurity.
Mat 23:28 In the same way, on the outside you look righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Mat 23:29 “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.
Mat 23:30 Then you say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our ancestors, we would have had no part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
Mat 23:31 Therefore, you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Then finish what your ancestors started!
Mat 23:33 You snakes, you children of serpents! How can you escape being condemned to hell?
Mat 23:34 “That is why I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will whip in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.
Mat 23:35 As a result, you will be held accountable for all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Truly I tell you, all these things will happen to this generation.”
Mat 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you didn’t want to!
Mat 23:38 Look! Your house is left to you deserted!
Mat 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'”
Mat 24:2 “You see all these things, don’t you? Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another that will not be torn down.”
Mat 24:4 “See to it that no one deceives you.
Mat 24:5 For many will come in my name and say, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many people.
Mat 24:6 You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn’t come yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Mat 24:8 But all these things are only the beginning of the birth pains.”
Mat 24:9 “Then they will hand you over to suffering and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
Mat 24:10 Then many people will fall by the way and will betray one another and hate one another.
Mat 24:11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people,
Mat 24:12 and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many people will grow cold.
Mat 24:13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
Mat 24:15 “So when you see the destructive desecration, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place (let the reader take note),
Mat 24:16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
Mat 24:17 The person who is on the housetop must not come down to get what is in his house,
Mat 24:18 and the person who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.
Mat 24:19 “How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!
Mat 24:20 Pray that it may not be in winter or on a Sabbath when you flee.
Mat 24:21 For at that time there will be great suffering, the kind that has not happened from the beginning of the world until now and certainly will never happen again.
Mat 24:22 If those days had not been limited, no life would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be limited.
Mat 24:23 “At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’, don’t believe it.
Mat 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will appear and display great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Mat 24:25 Remember, I have told you this beforehand.
Mat 24:26 So if they say to you, ‘Look! He’s in the wilderness,’ don’t go out looking for him. And if they say, ‘Look! He’s in the storeroom,’ don’t believe it.
Mat 24:27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:28 Wherever there’s a body, there the vultures will gather.”
Mat 24:29 “Immediately after the suffering of those days, ‘The sun
will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will
fall from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken loose.’
Mat 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see ‘the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven’ with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to another.”
Mat 24:32 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches become tender and it produces leaves, you know that summer is near.
Mat 24:33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you will know that he is near, right at the door.
Mat 24:34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not disappear until these things happen.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.”
Mat 24:36 “No one knows when that day or hour will come-not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mat 24:37 For just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.
Mat 24:38 In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.
Mat 24:39 They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That’s how it will be when the Son of Man comes.
Mat 24:40 At that time two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.
Mat 24:41 Two women will be grinding grain at the mill. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.
Mat 24:42 “So keep on watching, because you don’t know on what day your Lord is coming.
Mat 24:43 But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known at what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Mat 24:44 So you, too, must be ready, because at an hour you are not expecting him the Son of Man will come.”
Mat 24:45 “Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant whom his master has put in charge of his household to give the others their food at the right time?
Mat 24:46 How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes!
Mat 24:47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
Mat 24:48 “But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master has been delayed,’
Mat 24:49 and begins to beat his fellow servants and eat and drink with the drunks,
Mat 24:50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he doesn’t expect him and at an hour that he doesn’t know.
Mat 24:51 Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Mat 25:1 “At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be compared to ten bridesmaids who took their oil lamps and went out to meet the groom.
Mat 25:2 Now five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Mat 25:3 For when the foolish ones took their lamps, they didn’t take any oil with them.
Mat 25:4 But the wise ones took flasks of oil with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 Since the groom was late, all of them became sleepy and lay down.
Mat 25:6 “But at midnight there came a shout: ‘The groom is here! Come out to meet him!’
Mat 25:7 Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready.
Mat 25:8 But the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out!’
Mat 25:9 But the wise ones replied, ‘No! There will never be enough for us and for you. Better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’
Mat 25:10 “While they were away buying it, the groom arrived. Those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet, and the door was closed.
Mat 25:11 Later the other bridesmaids arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us!’
Mat 25:12 But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you!’
Mat 25:13 So keep on watching, because you don’t know the day or the hour.”
Mat 25:14 “For it is like a man going on a trip who called his servants and turned his money over to them.
Mat 25:15 To one man he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, based on their ability. Then he went on his trip.
Mat 25:16 “The one who received five talents went out at once and invested them and earned five more.
Mat 25:17 In the same way, the one who had two talents earned two more.
Mat 25:18 But the one who received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
Mat 25:19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
Mat 25:20 The one who had received five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I’ve earned five more talents.’
Mat 25:21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master’s joy!’
Mat 25:22 “The one with two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I’ve earned two more talents.’
Mat 25:23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master’s joy!’
Mat 25:24 “Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you haven’t planted and gathering where you haven’t scattered any seed.
Mat 25:25 Being afraid, I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here, take what is yours!’
Mat 25:26 “His master answered him, ‘You evil and lazy servant! So you knew that I harvested where I haven’t planted and gathered where I haven’t scattered any seed?
Mat 25:27 Then you should have invested my money with the bankers. When I returned, I would have received my money back with interest.
Mat 25:28 Take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents.
Mat 25:29 For to everyone who has something, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the person who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Mat 25:30 Throw this useless servant into the outer darkness! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'”
Mat 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
Mat 25:32 All the nations will be assembled in front of him, and he will separate them from each other as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Mat 25:33 He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.
Mat 25:34 “Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Mat 25:35 For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me.
Mat 25:36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
Mat 25:37 “Then the righteous will say to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
Mat 25:38 When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
Mat 25:39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
Mat 25:40 The king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, in that you did it for one of the least important of these my brothers, you did it for me.’
Mat 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who are accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
Mat 25:42 For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink.
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t welcome me. I was
naked, and you didn’t clothe me. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
Mat 25:44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t help you?’
Mat 25:45 Then he will say to them, ‘Truly I tell you, in that you did not do it for one of the least important of these, you did not do it for me.’
Mat 25:46 These people will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
Mat 26:2 “You know that the Passover will take place in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
Mat 26:10 “Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me.
Mat 26:11 For you will always have the destitute with you, but you will not always have me.
Mat 26:12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she was preparing me for burial.
Mat 26:13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Mat 26:18 “Go to a certain man in the city and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I will celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.”‘”
Mat 26:21 “Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”
Mat 26:23 “The man who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
Mat 26:24 The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him, but how terrible it will be for that man by whomthe Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born.”
Mat 26:25 “Take this and eat it. This is my body.”
Mat 26:27 “Drink from it, all of you.
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new covenant that is being poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins.
Mat 26:29 I tell you, I will never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
Mat 26:31 “All of you will turn against me this very night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
Mat 26:32 However, after I have been raised, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”
Mat 26:34 “Truly I tell you, this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Mat 26:36 “Sit down here while I go over there and pray.”
Mat 26:38 “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.”
Mat 26:39 “O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not what I want but what you want.”
Mat 26:40 “So, you men couldn’t stay awake with me for one hour, could you?
Mat 26:41 All of you must stay awake and pray that you won’t come into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mat 26:42 “My Father, if this cannot go away unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
Mat 26:45 “You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:46 Get up! Let’s go! See, the one who is betraying me is near!”
Mat 26:50 “Friend, why are you here?”
Mat 26:52 “Put your sword back in its place! For all who use a sword will be killed by a sword.
Mat 26:53 Don’t you think that I could call on my Father, and he would send me more than twelve legions of angels now?
Mat 26:54 How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say this must happen?”
Mat 26:55 “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple, yet you didn’t arrest me.
Mat 26:56 But all of this has happened so that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Mat 26:64 “You have said so. Nevertheless I tell you, from now on ‘you will see ‘the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power’ and ‘coming on the clouds of heaven.'”
Mat 26:75 “Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Mat 27:11 “You say so.”
Mat 27:46 Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”, which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Mat 27:63 ‘After three days I will be raised.’
Mat 28:9 “Greetings!”
Mat 28:10 “Stop being afraid! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Mat 28:18 “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Mat 28:19 Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age.”
