And the tempter approached [and] said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order that these stones become bread."

But he answered [and] said, "It is written, 'Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God."

and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down! For it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On [their] hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"

Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"

So those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God!"

So he answered [and] said to them, "Why do you also break the commandment of God because of your tradition?

For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'The one who speaks evil of father or mother {must certainly die}.'

But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or his mother, "Whatever {benefit you would have received} from me [is] a gift [to God],"

need not honor his father,' and you make void the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

So then the crowd was astonished [when they] saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.

But Jesus answered [and] said to them, "You are mistaken, [because] you do not know the scriptures or the power of God!

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.

Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,

"I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob"? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!"

Abandoning the commandment of God, you hold fast to the tradition of men."

And he said to them, "You splendidly ignore the commandment of God so that you can keep your tradition.

But you say, 'If a man says to his father or to his mother, "Whatever {benefit you would have received} from me [is] corban" (that is, a gift [to God]),

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better [for] you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell,

Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.'

And Jesus, [when he] saw that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dared to put a question to him any longer.

For [in] those days there will be tribulation of such a kind as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will happen.

And the angel answered [and] said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the one to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.

For {nothing will be impossible with God}."

and my spirit has rejoiced greatly in God my Savior,

And his mouth and his tongue were opened immediately, and he began to speak, praising God.

"Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited to help and {has redeemed} his people,
