But

But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

“Teacher, 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.

Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘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. You are badly mistaken!”

“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”

But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.

The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.

“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”

…but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.

But even their testimony was inconsistent.

But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.

“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.

But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

…and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.

But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.

Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.

Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.

Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

…but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”

So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
