“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.

And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’

So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’

Then the master summoned him and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.

Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’

Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”

“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Again I tell you, 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.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’

But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?

Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.

Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.

Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

‘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.”

‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.

Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.

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!

For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

“Do you see all these things?” He replied. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

See, I have told you in advance.

Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’

But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’

The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’

‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.

‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.

‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.

Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.

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 took Me in,

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 took Me in,

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 took Me in,

I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,

For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,

I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’

I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’

I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’

Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’

Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

…and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.

He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”

Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”

I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

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

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

Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

…and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”

But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
