Not

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.

When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

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

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

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.

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

You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

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

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

Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.

If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.

Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,

Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”

Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

…and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

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.

Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

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 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.

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.

For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
