“ During those days He
ate nothing, and at the close of them He suffered from hunger.
004:003 Then the Devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, tell this
stone to become bread."
004:004 "It is written," replied Jesus, "`It is not on bread alone
that a man shall live.'"
004:005 The Devil next led Him up and caused Him to see at a glance
all the kingdoms of the world. ”

“ A Prophet? Aye, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
007:027 John is the man about whom it is written, `See, I am sending
My messenger before thy face, and he shall make ready thy
way before thee.'
007:028 "I tell you that among all of women born there is not one greater
than John. Yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of God
is greater than he.
007:029 And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they
listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being
baptized with John's baptism. ”

“ Yet, when the Son
of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?"
018:009 And to some who relied on themselves as being righteous men,
and looked down upon all others, He addressed this parable.
018:010 "Two men went up to the Temple to pray," He said; "one being
a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
018:011 The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "`O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people— I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer. ”

“ He said; "do not hinder them; for it
is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of God belongs.
018:017 I tell you in solemn truth that, whoever does not receive
the Kingdom of God like a little child will certainly
not enter it."
018:018 The question was put to Him by a Ruler: "Good Rabbi,
what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?"
018:019 "Why do you call me good?" replied Jesus; "there is no one
good but One, namely God. ”

“ And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
004:021 Then He proceeded to say to them, "To-day is this Scripture fulfilled in your hearing."
004:022 And they all spoke well of Him, wondering at the sweet words of
kindness which fell from His lips, while they asked one another,
"Is not this Joseph's son?"
004:023 "Doubtless," said He, "you will quote to me the proverb,
`Physician, cure yourself: all that we hear that you have
done at Capernaum, do here also in your native place.'" ”

“ Sell everything you possess and give the money to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and then come, follow me."
018:023 But on hearing these words he was deeply sorrowful,
for he was exceedingly rich.
018:024 Jesus saw his sorrow, and said, "With how hard a struggle
do the possessors of riches ever enter the Kingdom of God!
018:025 Why, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye
than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." ”

“ He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.
008:011 The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
008:012 Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then
the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts,
lest they should believe and be saved. ”

“ Away with fear:
you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
012:008 "And I tell you that every man who shall have acknowledged me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
012:009 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
012:010 "Moreover every one who shall speak against the Son of Man,
may obtain forgiveness; but he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit
will never obtain forgiveness. ”

“ He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight.
016:016 The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it. ”

“ For you shall go on in front before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
001:077 To give to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness
of their sins,
001:078 Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which
the daybreak from on high will come to us,
001:079 Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death—
To direct our feet into the path of peace."
001:080 And the child grew and became strong in character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel. ”

“ Blind men receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are purified, deaf persons hear, the dead are raised to life, the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them.
007:023 And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
007:024 When John's messengers were gone, He proceeded to say to the multitude
concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at?
A reed waving in the wind?
007:025 But what did you go out to see? A man wearing luxurious clothes?
People who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are
found in palaces. ”

“ Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some
and persecute others,'
011:050 so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed
from the creation of the world onwards, may be required
from the present generation.
011:051 Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood
of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House,
it shall all be required from the present generation.
011:052 "Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away
the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered,
and those who wanted to enter you have hindered." ”

“ Let him earnestly warn them,
lest they also come to this place of torment.'
016:029 "`They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham;
`let them hear them.'
016:030 "`No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; `but if some one goes
to them from the dead, they will repent.'
016:031 "`If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, `they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"
017:001 Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come! ”

“ Only be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is close at hand.'
010:012 "I tell you that it will be more endurable for Sodom on the great day than for that town.
010:013 "Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
010:014 However, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more endurable at
the Judgement than for you.
010:015 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be lifted high as Heaven? Thou shalt
be driven down as low as Hades. ”

“ For the lowliest among you all—he is the greatest."
009:049 "Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your
name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does
not come with us."
009:050 "Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
009:051 Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
009:052 They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make
ready for Him. ”

“ Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
015:001 Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere
in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
015:002 and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
015:003 So in figurative language He asked them,
015:004 "Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds it? ”

“ The maiden's name was Mary.
001:028 So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you,
favoured one! the Lord is with you."
001:029 She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such
a greeting meant.
001:030 But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you
have found favour with God.
001:031 You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are
to call His name JESUS.
001:032 He will be great and He will be called `Son of the Most High.'
And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David ”

“ Do not move from one house to another.
010:008 "And whatever town you come to and they receive you,
eat what they put before you.
010:009 Cure the sick in that town, and tell them, "`The Kingdom of God
is now at your door.'
010:010 "But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you,
go out into the broader streets and say,
010:011 "`The very dust of your town that hangs about us we wipe off as a protest. ”

“ The rich man also died,
and had a funeral.
016:023 And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms.
016:024 So he cried aloud, and said, "`Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'
016:025 "`Remember, my child,' said Abraham, `that you had all
your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus
in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here,
he is receiving consolation and you are in agony. ”

“ And Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles, till the appointed times of the Gentiles have expired.
021:025 "There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on earth
anguish among the nations in their bewilderment at the roaring
of the sea and its billows;
021:026 while men's hearts are fainting for fear, and for anxious
expectation of what is coming on the world. For the forces
which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
021:027 And then will they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud
with great power and glory. ”

“ I will send my son—my dearly-loved son: they will
probably respect him.'
020:014 "But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed
the matter with one another, and said, "`This is the heir:
let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
020:015 "So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. ”

“ One greater than Solomon is here.
011:032 There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement
together with the present generation, and will condemn it;
because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark!
One greater than Jonah is here.
011:033 "When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar
or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come
in may see the light.
011:034 The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eyesight is good,
your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective,
your body is darkened. ”

“ He said, "I command you, wake!"
007:015 The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him
to his mother.
007:016 All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God—some saying,
"A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us."
Others said, "God has not forgotten His People."
007:017 And the report of what Jesus had done spread through the whole of Judaea and in all the surrounding districts.
007:018 John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;
007:019 so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord.
"Are you the Coming One?" ”

“ James the son of Alphaeus and Simon
called the Zealot;
006:016 James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to
be a traitor.
006:017 With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases ”

“ He has scattered
those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
001:052 He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men
of low estate.
001:053 The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich
He has sent empty-handed away.
001:054 His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion—
001:055 In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers—For Abraham
and his posterity for ever."
001:056 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months,
and then returned home.
001:057 Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, she gave birth to a son ”

“ He said; "stand up; and pray that you
may not come into temptation."
022:047 While He was still speaking there came a crowd with Judas, already mentioned as one of the Twelve, at their head. He went up to Jesus to kiss Him.
022:048 "Judas," said Jesus, "are you betraying the Son of Man
with a kiss?" ”

“ God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
005:002 He, however, saw two fishing-boats drawn up on the beach
(for the men had gone away from them and were washing the nets) ,
005:003 and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.
005:004 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
005:005 "Rabbi," replied Peter, "all night long we have worked hard and caught nothing ”
