All this happened in fulfillment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says--

And there he stayed until Herod's death; in fulfillment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says--'Out of Egypt I called my Son.'

Then were fulfilled these words spoken in the Prophet Jeremiah, where he says--

And there he settled in the town of Nazareth, in fulfillment of these words in the Prophets--'He will be called a Nazarene.'

And do not think that you can say among yourselves 'Abraham is our ancestor,' for I tell you that out of these very stones God is able to raise descendants for Abraham!

And the Tempter came to him, and said: "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread."

"All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and do homage to me."

In fulfillment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah--

Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these commandments, even the least of them, and teaches others to do so, will be the least- esteemed in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever keeps them, and teaches others to do so, will be esteemed great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.

All these are the things for which the nations are seeking, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

But first seek his Kingdom and the righteousness that he requires, and then all these things shall be added for you.

In fulfillment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah--'He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.'

The names of the twelve Apostles are these: First Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebediah, and his brother John;

These twelve Jesus sent out as his Messengers, after giving them these instructions-- "Do not go to the Gentiles, nor enter any Samaritan town,

And, if any one gives but a cup of cold water to one of these lowly ones because he is a disciple, I tell you that he shall assuredly not lose his reward."

While these men were going back, Jesus began to say to the crowds with reference to John:

At that same time Jesus uttered the words: "I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou has hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the child-like!

in fulfillment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah--

in fulfillment of these words in the Prophet--'I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.'

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

These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him; whereupon Jesus said: "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house."

And said to his attendants: " This must be John the Baptist; he must be risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him."

But the things that come out from the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile a man;

These are the things that defile a man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

Afterwards Jesus called his disciples to him, and said: "My heart is moved at the sight of all these people, for they have already been with me three days and they have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, for fear that they should break down on the way."

But, if any one puts a snare in the way of one of these lowly ones who believe in me, it would be best for him to be sunk in the depths of the sea with a great millstone hung round his neck.

Beware of despising one of these lowly ones, for in Heaven, I tell you, their angels always see the face of my Father who is in Heaven.

So, too, it is the will of my Father who is in Heaven that not one of these lowly ones should be lost.

"What commandments?" asked the man. "These," answered Jesus:-- "'Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not say what is false about others.

"I have observed all these," said the young man. "What is still wanting in me?"

On hearing these words, the young man went away distressed, for he had great possessions.

'These last,' they said, 'have done only one hour's work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day's work, and the heat.'

"What is it that you want?" he asked. "I want you to say," she replied, "that in your Kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right, and the other on your left."

This happened in fulfillment of these words in the Prophet--

And said to him: "Do you hear what these boys are saying?" "Yes," answered Jesus; "but did you never read the words--'Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast called forth perfect praise'?"

After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation came up to him as he was teaching, and said: " What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?"

So the answer they gave Jesus was--"We do not know." "Then I," he said, "refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.

After listening to these parables, the Chief Priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;

He asked: "Whose head and title are these?"

As to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read these words of God--

On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You pay tithes on mint, fennel, and caraway seed, and have neglected the weightier matters of the Law--justice, mercy, and good faith. These last you ought to have put into practice, without neglecting the first.

"Do you see all these things?" was his answer. "I tell you, not a single stone will be left here upon another, which will not be throne down,"

And so may you, as soon as you see all these things, know that he is at your doors.

I tell you, even the present generation will not pass away, till all these things have taken place.

And the King will reply 'I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my Brothers, however lowly, you did it to me.'

And then he will reply 'I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however lowly, you failed to do it to me.'

And these last will go away 'into aeonian punishment,' but the righteous 'into aeonian life.'"

Then the High Priest stood up, and said to Jesus: "Have you no answer? What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?"

Then it was that these words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled-- 'They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,

The Governor, however, said to them: "Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?" "Barabbas," they answered.

The People meant by the seed that falls along the path are these--where the Message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the Message that has been sown in them.

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the Synagogue; and the people, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get this?" they said, "and what is this wisdom that has been given him? and these miracles which he is doing?

Now King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name had become well known. People were saying--"John the Baptizer must have risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are active in him."

All these wicked things come from within, and do defile a man."

"My heart is moved at the sight of all these people, for they have already been with me three days and they have nothing to eat;

"Where will it be possible," his disciples answered, "to get sufficient bread for these people in this lonely place?"

They had also a few small fish; and, after he had said the blessing, he told the disciples to serve out these as well.

They seized upon these words and discussed with one another what this 'rising from the dead' meant.

And, if any one puts a snare in the way of one of these lowly ones who believe in me, it would be far better for him if he had been thrown into the sea with a great millstone round his neck.

"Teacher," he replied, "I have observed all these from my childhood."

But the man's face clouded at these words, and he went away distressed, for he had great possessions.

"What authority have you to do these things?" they said. "Who gave you the authority to do them?"

So their answer to Jesus was--"We do not know." "Then I," replied Jesus, "refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things."

These men came to him and said: "Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of any one, for you pay no regard to a man's position, but teach the Way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?

And, when they had brought it, he asked: "Whose head and title are these?" "The Emperor's," they said;

The second is this--'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thou dost love thyself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

As Jesus was walking out of the Temple Courts, one of his disciples said to him: "Teacher, look what fine stones and buildings these are!"

"Do you see these great buildings?" asked Jesus. "Not a single stone will be left here upon another, which shall not be thrown down."

And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that he is at your doors.

I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away, until all these things have taken place.

Then the High Priest stood forward, and questioned Jesus. "Have you no answer to make?" he asked. "What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?"

Moreover these signs shall attend those who believe. In my Name they shall drive out demons; they shall speak with 'tongues';

And, therefore, I also, since I have investigated all these events with great care from their very beginning, have resolved to write a connected history of them for you,

Let your lives, then, prove your repentance; and do not begin to say among yourselves 'Abraham is our ancestor,' for I tell you that out of these very stones God is able to raise descendants for Abraham!

And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another: "What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvelous authority, and they come out."

Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said: "I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!"

All these events were reported to John by his disciples.

When these men found Jesus, they said: "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask--'Are you 'The Coming One,' or are we to look for somebody else?'"

But Jesus said: "It is for you to give them something to eat." "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes," they answered; "unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people."

About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.

At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: "I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.

Now which, do you think, of these three men," asked Jesus, "proved himself a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?"

But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.

Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.

These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.

No, seek his Kingdom, and these things shall be added for you.

"Do you suppose," replied Jesus, "that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?

On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant 'Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.'

It would be good for him if he had been flung into the sea with a mill-stone round his neck, rather than that he should prove a snare to even one of these lowly ones.

"I have observed all these," he replied, "from childhood."

But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their King, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.'"

But Jesus answered: "I tell you that if these men are silent, the very stones will call out."

On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the Good News, the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law, joined by the Councillors, confronted him,

And addressing him, said: "Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it that has given you this authority?"

"Then I," said Jesus, "refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things."

These men asked Jesus a question. They said: "Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a man's position, but teach the Way of God honestly;

These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier."

"As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left upon another here, which will not be thrown down."
