It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’

Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?

Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.

“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.

And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,

“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’

But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’

But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’

Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.

So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.

For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

…saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.

“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

…until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

…and He saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
