Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”

So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” But they were silent.

When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”

If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.

And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”

For whoever does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother.”

He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,

Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”

Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

…and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”

While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

…for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

…and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

…he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

…because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

“First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

For whoever is not against us is for us.

For whoever is not against us is for us.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

…where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

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 looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”

The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

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

This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

“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.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

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

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

…and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

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

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.

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

…and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with 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.”

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.”
