That

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”

He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus

…and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

…so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.

The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted

They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

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

Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”

“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

How do you not understand that I was not telling you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of the leaven used in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

Then He admonished the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.

From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in 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.

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.

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?

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.

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.

In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’

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.

Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.

But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’

In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.

That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

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

For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

“What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”

But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

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.

When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

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.’

They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.

They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.

That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.

You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?

You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?

Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.

So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.

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.’”

Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you.

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath.

For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.

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

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

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 all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

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

Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’

The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

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.

‘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.

And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

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.’”

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.”

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.”

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

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?

But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

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.

But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
