And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

For when John came, he did not eat or drink [on festive occasions] and people said, 'He is dominated by an evil spirit.'

[Then] the Son of man came eating and drinking [at festive occasions] and they said, 'Look, He is a glutton and a drunkard and a friend of tax collectors and worldly people.' It proves that [God's] wise counsel is right by the way things turn out."

Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Or is it not said in the law, how the Sabbath is broken by the priests in the Temple and they do no wrong?

A man was there whose hand was withered. And they asked Jesus, “Is it lawful and permissible to heal on the Sabbath?”—they asked this so that they might accuse Him and bring charges into court.

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Then He said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” The man reached out and it was restored, as normal and healthy as the other.

charging them strictly not to make him known ??17 it was for the fulfilment of what had been said by the prophet Isaiah,

in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign (attesting miracle) from You [proving that You are what You claim to be].”

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.

Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."

All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables, and He said nothing to them without [using] a parable.

in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, who said, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden since the creation."

Then He dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached Him and said, “Explain the parable of the weeds in the field to us.”

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

“Have you understood all these things [in the lessons of the parables]?” They said to Jesus, “Yes.”

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, and said to his servants,

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is an isolated place and the hour is already late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

They replied, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.”

He said, Bring them hither to me.

And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

Then those in the boat worshiped Him and said, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

Then some Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus and said,

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.

does not have to provide for his father.' So you have nullified what God has said, for the sake of what has been handed down to you.

You hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said,

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But she came, knelt before Him, and said, “Lord, help me!”

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

The disciples said to Him, “Where are we to get enough bread in this isolated place to feed so large a crowd?”

And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

They said, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass.

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any bread.”

Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they understood that he said not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task. "Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
