And Hezekiah fathered Manasseh; and Manasseh fathered Amon; and Amon fathered Josiah;

And Josiah fathered Jechoniah and his brothers, about the time they were carried away [captive] to Babylon. *2 Kings 24:14 - 16, *Jeremiah 24:1, *Jeremiah 27:20
Matthew 1:12
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah fathered Salathiel; and Salathiel fathered Zerubbabel; *1 Chronicles 3:9 - 19

And Jacob fathered Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
Matthew 1:17
So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away [captive] into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away [captive] into Babylon to the Messiah [are] fourteen generations.
Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, was on this wise: when his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found having [a child] in her belly out of the Holy Spirit. *21:91, *66:12
Matthew 1:19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take your wife Mary to you, *Gospel of Barnabas 2:2 for that which is conceived in her is out of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:21
And she will bring forth a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:22
Now all this was done, so that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
Matthew 1:23
"Behold, a virgin will be with child, and will bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, 'God with us.'" *Isaiah 7:14
Matthew 1:24
Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took his wife to him;
Matthew 1:25
And did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus.
Matthew 2:1
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem,
Matthew 2:2
Saying, "Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to prostrate to him."
Matthew 2:3
When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Matthew 2:4
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where the Messiah should be born.
Matthew 2:5
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
Matthew 2:6
'And you Bethlehem, [in] the land of Judah, are not the least among the princes of Judah, for a leader will come out of you, who will rule My people Israel.'" *Micah 5:2
Matthew 2:7
Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, diligently inquired of them what time the star appeared.
Matthew 2:8
And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found [him], bring me word again, so that I may come and prostrate to him also."
Matthew 2:9
When they had heard the king, they departed; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, *Gospel of Barnabas 7:1 until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Matthew 2:10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. ~*Isaiah 60:1 - 3
Matthew 2:11
And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and prostrated to him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to him; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. ~*Isaiah 60:6
Matthew 2:12
And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Matthew 2:13
And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord [God] appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I bring you word, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
Matthew 2:14
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;
Matthew 2:15
And was there until the death of Herod, *Gospel of Barnabas 8:2 so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt, I have called My son." *Hosea 11:1
Matthew 2:16
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly furious, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Matthew 2:17
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Matthew 2:18
"In Ramah, there was a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning; Rachel, weeping [for] her children, would not be comforted, because they are not [alive anymore]." *Jeremiah 31:15
Matthew 2:19
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord [God] appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Matthew 2:20
Saying, "Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."
Matthew 2:21
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Matthew 2:22
But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, notwithstanding, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.
Matthew 2:23
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, *Gospel of Barnabas 9:1 so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He will be called a Nazarene."
Matthew 3:1
In those days, John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Matthew 3:2
And saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand."
Matthew 3:3
For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord [God], make His paths straight.'" *Isaiah 40:3
Matthew 3:4
And the same John had his raiment from camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Matthew 3:5
Then Jerusalem went out to him, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
Matthew 3:6
And were baptized by him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
Matthew 3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, "O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew 3:8
Therefore, bring forth fruits worthy of repentance.
Matthew 3:9
And do not think to say within yourselves, 'We have [our] father Abraham,' for I say to you, that God is able to raise up children from these stones to Abraham.
Matthew 3:10
And now the ax is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is struck down, and cast into the Fire.
Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water to repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than me, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; *Acts 13:25 he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and [with] Fire; *Acts 11:16
Matthew 3:12
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable Fire."
Matthew 3:13
Then Jesus comes from Galilee to Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Matthew 3:14
But John forbade him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
Matthew 3:15
And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Let [it be so] now, for thus it becomes for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he let him.
Matthew 3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water, and look, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the [Holy] Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.
Matthew 3:17
And look, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."
Matthew 4:1
Then Jesus was led up by the [Holy] Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Matthew 4:2
And when he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, *Gospel of Barnabas 14:1 afterward, he was hungry.
Matthew 4:3
And when the tempter came to him, he said, "If you are the son of God, command that these stones be made bread."
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, "It is written, 'Man will not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" *Deuteronomy 8:3
Matthew 4:5
Then the devil takes him up into the holy city, and sets him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Matthew 4:6
And says to him, "If you are the son of God, cast yourself down, for it is written, 'He will give His angels charge concerning you, and they will bear you up in [their] hands, unless at any time you should dash your foot against a stone.'" *Psalms 91:11 - 12
Matthew 4:7
Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You will not tempt the Lord your God.'" *Deuteronomy 6:16
Matthew 4:8
Again, the devil takes him up into an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:9
And says to him, "I will give you all these things, if you will fall down and prostrate to me."
Matthew 4:10
Then Jesus says to him, "Get away from here, Satan, for it is written, 'You will prostrate to the Lord your God, and you will only serve Him.'" *Deuteronomy 10:12, *Deuteronomy 10:20, *3:51, *5:117, *19:36, *43:64
Matthew 4:11
Then the devil leaves him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Matthew 4:12
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
Matthew 4:13
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Matthew 4:14
So that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Matthew 4:15
"The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Matthew 4:16
The people who sat in darkness saw great light; and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light sprung up." *Isaiah 9:1 - 2
Matthew 4:17
From that time, Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand."
Matthew 4:18
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
Matthew 4:19
And he says to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Matthew 4:20
And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed him.
Matthew 4:21
And going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Matthew 4:22
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
Matthew 4:23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel *5:46, *57:27 of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Matthew 4:24
And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought all sick people who were taken with various diseases and torments to him, and those who were possessed with devils, and those who were lunatic, and those who had the palsy; and he healed them.
Matthew 4:25
And great multitudes of people from Galilee followed him, and [from] Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond Jordan.
Matthew 5:1
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and when he was set, his disciples came to him,
Matthew 5:2
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Matthew 5:3
"Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed [are] those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:5
Blessed [are] the meek, for they will inherit the earth. *Book of Enoch 5:7, *Psalms 37:11, *21:105, *39:74
Matthew 5:6
Blessed [are] those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 5:7
Blessed [are] the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
Matthew 5:8
Blessed [are] the pure in heart, for they will see God [in Paradise].
Matthew 5:9
Blessed [are] the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.
Matthew 5:10
Blessed [are] those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
Matthew 5:11
Blessed are you, when [men] will revile you, and persecute [you], and will say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Matthew 5:12
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for your reward [is] great in the heavens, for they so persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:13
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost his savor, by what will it be salted? It is therefore good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under feet of men.
Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:15
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, who is in the heavens.
Matthew 5:17
Do not think that I have come to destroy the law, or the prophets, I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Matthew 5:18
For verily I say to you, 'Until heaven and earth pass, one jot or one letter will in no wise pass from the law, until all is fulfilled.'
Matthew 5:19
Whoever therefore will break one of these least commandments, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever will do and teach [them], the same will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 5:20
For I say to you, 'That unless your righteousness exceeds [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no case enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 5:21
You have heard that it was said by them of old time, 'You should not murder; *Exodus 20:13, *Deuteronomy 5:17, *6:151, *17:33 and whoever will murder will be in danger of the Judgment.'
Matthew 5:22
But I say to you, 'That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the Judgment, and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raca,' will be in danger of the council, but whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the Gehenna of the Fire.'
Matthew 5:23
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you;
Matthew 5:24
Leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:25
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; unless at any time the adversary delivers you to the judge, and the judge delivers you to the officer, and you are cast into prison.
Matthew 5:26
Verily I say to you, 'You will by no means come out from there, until you have paid the uttermost farthing.'
Matthew 5:27
You have heard that it was said by them of old time, 'You will not commit adultery.' *Deuteronomy 5:18, *17:32
Matthew 5:28
But I say to you, 'That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.' *Proverbs 6:25, *Sirach 9:8, *Sirach 25:21, *24:30
Matthew 5:29
And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out, and cast [it] from you, for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not [that] your whole body should be cast into Gehenna.
Matthew 5:30
And if your right hand offends you, cut it off, and cast [it] from you, for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not [that] your whole body should be cast into Gehenna.
Matthew 5:31
It has been said, 'Whoever will put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement.' *Deuteronomy 24:1
Matthew 5:32
But I say to you, 'That whoever will put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever will marry her who is divorced, commits adultery.'
Matthew 5:33
Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, 'You will not forswear yourself, but you will perform your oaths to the Lord.'
Matthew 5:34
But I say to you, 'Do not swear at all; *24:53 neither by heaven; for it is God's Throne;
Matthew 5:35
Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool, *Book of Enoch 84:2, *Isaiah 66:1 neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great king.
Matthew 5:36
Neither will you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.'
Matthew 5:37
But let your communication be, 'Yes, yes; No, no,' for whatever is more than these comes from evil.
Matthew 5:38
You have heard that it has been said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth [as legal retribution].' *Exodus 21:24, *Deuteronomy 19:21, *5:45
Matthew 5:39
But I say to you to not withstand evil, but whoever will smite you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. *Lamentations 3:30
Matthew 5:40
And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have [your] cloak also.
Matthew 5:41
And whoever will compel you to go a mile, go with him for two.
Matthew 5:42
Give to him who asks you, *93:10 and from he who would borrow from you, do not turn away.
Matthew 5:43
You have heard that it has been said, 'You will love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, 'Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you;'
Matthew 5:45
So that you may be the children of your Father who is in the heavens, for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:46
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do the publicans not even do the same?
Matthew 5:47
And if you salute your brothers only, what do you do more [than others]? Do the publicans not even do so?
Matthew 5:48
Be therefore perfect, even as your Father, who is in the heavens, is perfect.
Matthew 6:1
Take heed that you do not do your alms before men, to be seen of them, otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.
Matthew 6:2
Therefore when you do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Verily I say to you, 'They have their reward.'
Matthew 6:3
But when you do alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does.
Matthew 6:4
So that your alms may be in the hidden, and your Father, who sees in the hidden Himself, will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:5
And when you pray, you will not be as the hypocrites [are], for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, so that they may be seen by men. Verily I say to you, 'They have their reward.'
Matthew 6:6
But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, *7:55 and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father, who is in the hidden; and your Father, who sees in the hidden, will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:7
But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen [do], for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew 6:8
Therefore, do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.
Matthew 6:9
Therefore pray after this manner, 'Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be holy.
Matthew 6:10
Let Your Kingdom come. Let Your will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.
Matthew 6:11
Give us our daily bread this day.
Matthew 6:12
And forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Matthew 6:13
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the Kingdom is Yours, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.' *Gospel of Barnabas 37:2
Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive men for their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive men for their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. *Sirach 28:2, ~*24:22
Matthew 6:16
Moreover, when you fast, do not be as the hypocrites, with a sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear to be fasting to men. Verily I say to you, 'They have their reward.'
Matthew 6:17
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
Matthew 6:18
So that you do not appear to be fasting to men, but to your Father, who is in the hidden, and your Father, who sees in the hidden, will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:19
Do not lay up treasures for yourselves upon earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal.
Matthew 6:20
But lay up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth or rust corrupts, and where thieves do not break through or steal.
Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, your heart will also be there.
Matthew 6:22
The light of the body is the eye, if your eye is therefore single, your whole body will be full of light.
Matthew 6:23
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light that is in you is darkness, how great [is] that darkness!
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters, *16:51 for either he will hate the one, and love the other; *2:165 or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:25
Therefore I say to you, 'Take no thought for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on.' Is the life not more than meat, and the body [more] than raiment?
Matthew 6:26
Behold the fowls of the air, for they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor do they gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. *Psalms 104:27, *Psalms 136:25, *11:6, *29:60 Are you not much better than they [are]?
Matthew 6:27
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
Matthew 6:28
And why take thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, neither do they spin.
Matthew 6:29
And yet I say to you, 'That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.'
Matthew 6:30
Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, [will He] not much more [clothe] you, O you of little faith?
Matthew 6:31
Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What will we eat?' Or, 'What will we drink?' Or, 'What will we be clothed with?'
Matthew 6:32
For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first, the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:34
Therefore, take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day [is] the evil thereof.
Matthew 7:1
Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
Matthew 7:2
For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you again.
Matthew 7:3
And why behold the mote that is in your brother's eye, but not consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Matthew 7:4
Or how will you say to your brother, 'Let me pull the mote out of your eye;' and behold, a beam [is] in your own eye?
Matthew 7:5
You hypocrite, first cast the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast the mote out of your brother's eye.
Matthew 7:6
Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, unless they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; *Book of Jubilees 1:21 - 22, *Deuteronomy 4:29, *1 Chronicles 28:9, *2 Chronicles 15:2, *2 Chronicles 15:4, *2 Chronicles 15:15, *Wisdom of Solomon 1:1 - 2, *Jeremiah 29:13 knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
Matthew 7:9
Or what man is there among you, whom, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Matthew 7:10
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask Him?
Matthew 7:12
Therefore, all things whatever you would will that men should do to you, do even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 7:13
Enter in at the strait gate, for the gate [is] wide and the way [is] broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in thereat.
Matthew 7:14
Because the gate [is] strait, and the way [is] narrow, which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:16
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Matthew 7:17
Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; *14:24 - 25 but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew 7:19
Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is struck down, *14:26 and cast into the Fire.
Matthew 7:20
Therefore you will know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, lord,' will enter into the kingdom of the heavens; but he who does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
Matthew 7:22
Many will say to me in that Day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And cast out devils in your name? And done many wonderful works in your name?'
Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess to them, 'I never knew you, depart from me, you who work iniquity.' *Psalms 6:8, *4:159
Matthew 7:24
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock.
Matthew 7:25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:26
And everyone who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them will be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
Matthew 7:27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and the fall of it was great." *9:109

And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,
Matthew 8:6
And saying, "Master, my servant lies at home sick with the palsy, grievously tormented."
Matthew 8:7
And Jesus says to him, "I will come and heal him."
Matthew 8:8
The centurion answered and said, "Master, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.
Matthew 8:9
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this [man], 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does [it]."

When Jesus heard [it], he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Verily I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Matthew 8:11
And I say to you, 'That many will come from the east and west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

Matthew 8:15
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and ministered to them.
Matthew 8:16
When the evening had come, they brought many to him who were possessed with devils, and he cast out the [jinn] spirits with [his] word, and healed all who were sick;
Matthew 8:17
So that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities, and bore [our] sicknesses."
Matthew 8:18
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave a commandment to depart to the other side.
Matthew 8:19
And a certain scribe came, and said to him, "Master, I will follow you wherever you go."

Matthew 8:22
But Jesus said to him, "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." ~*9:84

Matthew 8:26
And he says to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Matthew 8:27
But the men marveled, saying, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Matthew 8:31
So the devils asked him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine."

Matthew 8:33

Matthew 9:2

Matthew 9:3
And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, "This [man] blasphemes."
Matthew 9:4
And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Matthew 9:5
For which is easier to say, '[Your] sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and walk?'
Matthew 9:6
But so that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins." Then he says to the one sick with the palsy, "Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."
Matthew 9:7
And he arose, and departed to his house.
Matthew 9:8
But when the multitudes saw [it], they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
Matthew 9:9

Matthew 9:10
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Matthew 9:11

Matthew 9:12
But when Jesus heard [that], he said to them, "Those who are whole do not need a physician, but those who are sick.
Matthew 9:13
But go and learn what [that] means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, *Hosea 6:6 for I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus says to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Indeed, lord."
Matthew 9:29
Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith, be it to you."
Matthew 9:30
And their eyes were opened; *3:49, *5:110 and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, "See [that] no man knows [it]."

Matthew 10:3
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Matthew 10:4
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Matthew 10:5
Jesus sent forth these twelve and commanded them, saying, "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into [any] city of the Samaritans.
Matthew 10:6
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 10:7
And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of the heavens is at hand.'
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, [as] you have received freely, give freely.
Matthew 10:9
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
Matthew 10:10
Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves, for the workman is worthy of his meat. *1 Timothy 5:18
Matthew 10:11
And into whatever city or town you will enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and abide there until you go from there.
Matthew 10:12
And when you come into a house, salute it.
Matthew 10:13

Matthew 10:14
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Verily I say to you, 'It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, than for that city.'
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:17
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Matthew 10:18

Matthew 10:19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you will speak, for it will be given to you in that same hour what you will speak.
Matthew 10:20

Matthew 10:24
The disciple is not above [his] teacher, nor the servant above his lord.
Matthew 10:25

Matthew 10:31
Do not fear therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:32
Whoever will therefore confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father, who is in the heavens.
Matthew 10:33
But whoever will deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father, who is in the heavens.
Matthew 10:34
Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth, I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35
For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36
And a man's foes [will be] those of his own household. *Micah 7:6
Matthew 10:37
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. *9:24
Matthew 10:38
And he who does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

Matthew 10:40

Matthew 10:42
And whoever will give a cup of cold [water] to drink to one of these little ones only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, 'He will in no wise lose his reward.'"
Matthew 11:1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
Matthew 11:2
Now when John had heard the works of the Messiah in the prison, he sent two of his disciples,
Matthew 11:3
And said to him, "Are you he who should come, or do we look for another?"
Matthew 11:4
Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and show John again those things which you hear and see.
Matthew 11:5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, *3:49, *5:110 and the poor have the Gospel preached to them.
Matthew 11:6
And blessed is whoever will not be offended in me."
Matthew 11:7
And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "For what did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Matthew 11:8
But for what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.
Matthew 11:9
But for what did you go out to see? A prophet? Indeed, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Matthew 11:10
For this is [he] of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.' *Malachi 3:1
Matthew 11:11
Verily I say to you, 'Among those who are born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist,' notwithstanding he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than him.
Matthew 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Matthew 11:14
And if you will receive [it], this is Elijah, who was to come. *Malachi 4:5
Matthew 11:15
He who has ears to hear, let him hear. *Ezekiel 3:27
Matthew 11:16
But what will I liken this generation to? It is like children sitting in the markets and calling to their fellows,
Matthew 11:17
And saying, 'We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned you, and you have not lamented.'
Matthew 11:18
For John came neither eating or drinking, and they say, 'He has a devil.' *15:6, *51:52
Matthew 11:19
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
Matthew 11:20
Then he began to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they did not repent.
Matthew 11:21
"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Matthew 11:22
But I say to you, 'It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Day of Judgment, than for you.'
Matthew 11:23
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hell, for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Matthew 11:24
But I say to you, 'That it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for you.'"
Matthew 11:25
At that time, Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.
Matthew 11:26
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.
Matthew 11:27
All things are delivered to me from the Father, and no man knows the Son [of man], but the Father; neither does any man know the Father, except the Son [of man], and [he] to whomever the Son [of man] will reveal [Him].
Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all [you] who labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest to your souls.
Matthew 11:30
For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light."
Matthew 12:1
At that time, Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Matthew 12:2
But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, "Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day."
Matthew 12:3
But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;
Matthew 12:4
How he entered into the House of God, and ate the shewbread, *1 Samuel 21:6 which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Matthew 12:5
Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Matthew 12:6
But I say to you, 'That in this place, [there] is [one] greater than the temple.'
Matthew 12:7
But if you had known what [this] means, 'I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,' *Hosea 6:6 you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Matthew 12:8
For the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath day."
Matthew 12:9
And when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue.
Matthew 12:10
And behold, there was a man who had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days?" So that they might accuse him.
Matthew 12:11
And he said to them, "What man will there be among you, who will have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out? *Deuteronomy 22:4
Matthew 12:12
Then how much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore, it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days." *3:50
Matthew 12:13
Then he says to the man, "Stretch forth your hand." And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.
Matthew 12:14
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Matthew 12:15
But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from there, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Matthew 12:16
And he charged them that they should not make him known.
Matthew 12:17
So that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Matthew 12:18
"Behold My servant, *19:93, *21:26, *43:59 whom I have chosen; My beloved, in whom My soul is well pleased, I will put My [Holy] Spirit upon him, *2:87, *2:253, *5:110 and he will show judgment to the Gentiles.
Matthew 12:19
He will not strive, nor cry; neither will any man hear his voice in the streets.
Matthew 12:20
He will not break a bruised reed, and he will not quench smoking flax, until he sends forth judgment to victory.
Matthew 12:21
And the Gentiles will trust in his name." *Isaiah 42:1 - 4
Matthew 12:22
Then one was brought to him, [who was] possessed with a devil, blind, and mute, and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and mute both spoke and saw.
Matthew 12:23
And all the people were amazed, and said, "Is this not the son of David?"
Matthew 12:24
But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, "This [fellow] does not cast out devils, but by Baalzebub, the prince of the devils."
Matthew 12:25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Matthew 12:26
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? *Gospel of Barnabas 69:5
Matthew 12:27
And if I cast out devils by Baalzebub, by whom do your children cast [them] out? Therefore, they will be your judges.
Matthew 12:28
But if I cast out devils by the [Holy] Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
Matthew 12:29
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house.
Matthew 12:30
He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not gather with me, scatters abroad.
Matthew 12:31
Therefore I say to you, 'All manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit will not be forgiven to men.'
Matthew 12:32
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven to him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven to him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.
Matthew 12:33
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt, for the tree is known by [his] fruit.
Matthew 12:34
O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
Matthew 12:35
A good man brings forth good things out of the good treasure of the heart, and an evil man brings forth evil things out of the evil treasure.
Matthew 12:36
But I say to you, 'That every idle word that men will speak, they will give account thereof in the Day of Judgment.'
Matthew 12:37
For you will be justified by your words, and you will be condemned by your words."
Matthew 12:38
Then some of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we would see a sign from you." *2:118
Matthew 12:39
But he answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign will be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonah was in the whale's belly for three days and three nights; so will the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
Matthew 12:41
The men of Nineveh will rise in Judgement with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here.
Matthew 12:42
The queen of the south will rise up in the Judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Matthew 12:43
When the unclean [jinn] spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest, and finds none.
Matthew 12:44
Then he says, 'I will return into my house from where I came out;' and when he has come, he finds [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
Matthew 12:45
Then he goes and takes seven other [jinn] spirits more wicked than himself with him, and they enter in and dwell there, and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it also be to this wicked generation."
Matthew 12:46
While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brothers stood alone, desiring to speak with him.
Matthew 12:47
Then one said to him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers stand alone, desiring to speak with you."
Matthew 12:48
But he answered and said to him who told him, "Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?"
Matthew 12:49
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, "Behold my mother and my brothers!
Matthew 12:50
For whoever will do the will of my Father, who is in the heavens, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Matthew 13:1
The same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Matthew 13:2
And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Matthew 13:3
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Matthew 13:4
And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up.
Matthew 13:5
Some fell upon stony places, where they did not have much earth, and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth.
Matthew 13:6
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew 13:7
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up and choked them.
Matthew 13:8
But others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. *Gospel of Barnabas 132:2
Matthew 13:9
He who has ears to hear, let him hear." *Ezekiel 3:27
Matthew 13:10
And the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
Matthew 13:11
He answered and said to them, "Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but it is not given to them.
Matthew 13:12
For whoever has, [more] will be given to him, and he will have more in abundance, but whoever does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
Matthew 13:13
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing, they do not see; and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
Matthew 13:14
And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled in them, which says, 'By hearing, you will hear, and not understand; and seeing, you will see, and not perceive.
Matthew 13:15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; unless at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.' *Isaiah 6:9 - 10
Matthew 13:16
But your eyes [are] blessed, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. *11:24
Matthew 13:17
For verily I say to you, 'That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which you see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which you hear, and have not heard [them].'
Matthew 13:18
Therefore, hear the parable of the sower.
Matthew 13:19
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand [it], then the wicked [one] comes, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
Matthew 13:20
But he who received the seed in stony places, the same is he who hears the word, and straightway receives it with joy;
Matthew 13:21
Yet he does not have root in himself, but endures for a while, for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Matthew 13:22
He also who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word; and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
Matthew 13:23
But he who received seed into the good ground is he who hears the word, and understands [it]; who also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
Matthew 13:24
He put forth another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of the heavens is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Matthew 13:25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, *Gospel of Barnabas 132:3 and went his way.
Matthew 13:26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then the tares also appeared.
Matthew 13:27
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then where does it have tares from?'
Matthew 13:28
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Do you will then that we go and gather them up?'
Matthew 13:29
But he said, 'No; unless, while you gather up the tares, you also root up the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers to first gather the tares together, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"
Matthew 13:31
He put forth another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
Matthew 13:32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."
Matthew 13:33
He spoke another parable to them; "The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened."
Matthew 13:34
Jesus spoke all these things to the multitude in parables; and he did not speak to them without a parable.
Matthew 13:35
So that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." *Psalms 78:2
Matthew 13:36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, "Declare the parable of the tares of the field to us."
Matthew 13:37
He answered and said to them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;
Matthew 13:38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
Matthew 13:39
The enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matthew 13:40
Therefore, as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so will it be in the end of this world.
Matthew 13:41
The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather all things that offend out of his kingdom, and those who do iniquity;
Matthew 13:42
And will cast them into a furnace of Fire, there will be wailing *11:106 and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like treasure hidden in a field; which, when a man has found, he hides, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
Matthew 13:45
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant man, seeking good pearls.
Matthew 13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:47
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered of every kind.
Matthew 13:48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Matthew 13:49
So will it be at the end of the world, the angels will come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Matthew 13:50
And will cast them into the furnace of Fire, *Book of Enoch 54:6, *37:22 - 23, *66:6, *74:31 there will be wailing *11:106 and gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 13:51
Jesus says to them, "Have you understood all these things?" They say to him, "Yes."
Matthew 13:52
Then he said to them, "Therefore every scribe [who is] instructed to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man [who is] a householder, who brings forth new and old [things] out of his treasure."
Matthew 13:53
And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Matthew 13:54
And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, "From where does this [man] have this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
Matthew 13:55
Is this not the carpenter's son? Is his mother not called Mary? And his brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Matthew 13:56
And his sisters, are they not all with us? From where then does this [man] have all these things?"
Matthew 13:57
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
Matthew 13:58
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 14:1
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Matthew 14:2
And said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works show themselves forth in him."
Matthew 14:3
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
Matthew 14:4
For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
Matthew 14:5
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Matthew 14:6
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Matthew 14:7
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
Matthew 14:8
And she, being instructed before of her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here in a charger."
Matthew 14:9
And the king was sorry, nevertheless for the oath's sake, and those who sat with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [to her].
Matthew 14:10
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Matthew 14:11
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel, and she brought [it] to her mother.
Matthew 14:12
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Matthew 14:13
When Jesus heard [of it], he departed from there by ship into a desert place apart, and when the people had heard [thereof], they followed him on foot out of the cities.
Matthew 14:14
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Matthew 14:15
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, "This is a desert place, and the time has now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals."
Matthew 14:16
But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to depart; give them to eat."
Matthew 14:17
And they say to him, "We have here but five loaves, and two fish."
Matthew 14:18
He said, "Bring them here to me."
Matthew 14:19
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to [his] disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Matthew 14:20
And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full. *Gospel of Barnabas 98:3 - 4
Matthew 14:21
And those who had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Matthew 14:22
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Matthew 14:23
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray, and when the evening had come, he was there alone.
Matthew 14:24
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves, for the wind was contrary.
Matthew 14:25
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
Matthew 14:26
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a spirit;" and they cried out for fear.
Matthew 14:27
But straightway Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer; it is I; do not be afraid."
Matthew 14:28
And Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, bid me to come to you on the water."
Matthew 14:29
And he said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Matthew 14:30
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, "Lord, save me."
Matthew 14:31
And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Matthew 14:32
And when they had come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Matthew 14:33
Then those who were in the ship came and prostrated to him, saying, "Of a truth you are the son of God."
Matthew 14:34
And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Matthew 14:35
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought to him all who were diseased;
Matthew 14:36
And asked him that they might only touch the hem of his garment, and as many who touched were made perfectly whole.
Matthew 15:1
Then scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus, who were of Jerusalem, saying,
Matthew 15:2
"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
Matthew 15:3
But he answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? *Gospel of Barnabas 32:1
Matthew 15:4
For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and mother,' and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him die the death.' *Leviticus 20:9
Matthew 15:5
But you say, 'Whoever will say to [his] father or [his] mother, '[It is] a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me;'
Matthew 15:6
And he should not honor his father or his mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Matthew 15:7
[You] hypocrites, Isaiah did prophesy well of you, saying,
Matthew 15:8
'This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and honors Me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from Me.
Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do revere Me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.'" *Isaiah 29:13
Matthew 15:10
And he called the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
Matthew 15:11
Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." *Gospel of Barnabas 32:5
Matthew 15:12
Then his disciples came and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?"
Matthew 15:13
But he answered and said, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, will be rooted up.
Matthew 15:14
Leave them alone, they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch."
Matthew 15:15
Then Peter answered and said to him, "Declare to us this parable."
Matthew 15:16
And Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding?
Matthew 15:17
Do you not yet understand, that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Matthew 15:18
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Matthew 15:19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
Matthew 15:20
These are [the things] which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."
Matthew 15:21
Then Jesus went from there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew 15:22
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried to him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O lord, Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil."
Matthew 15:23
But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and asked him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."
Matthew 15:24
But he answered and said, "I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Matthew 15:25
Then she came and prostrated to him, saying, "Lord, help me."
Matthew 15:26
But he answered and said, "It is not ideal to take the children's bread and cast [it] to dogs."
Matthew 15:27
And she said, "Truth, lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their lords' table."
Matthew 15:28
Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, your faith [is] great, *Gospel of Barnabas 21:6 be it to you even as you will." And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Matthew 15:29
And Jesus departed from there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
Matthew 15:30
And great multitudes came to him, having with them [those who were] lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them.
Matthew 15:31
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the mute to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 15:32
Then Jesus called his disciples [to 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, unless they faint in the way."
Matthew 15:33
And his disciples say to him, "From where should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?"
Matthew 15:34
And Jesus says to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
Matthew 15:35
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Matthew 15:36
And he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, and broke [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Matthew 15:37
And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left, seven baskets full.
Matthew 15:38
And those who ate were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Matthew 15:39
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
Matthew 16:1
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting, desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
Matthew 16:2
He answered and said to them, "When it is evening, you say, '[It will be] fair weather, for the sky is red.'
Matthew 16:3
And in the morning, '[It will be] foul weather today, for the sky is red and lowering.' O [you] hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not [discern] the signs of the times?
Matthew 16:4
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there will no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah." And he left them, and departed.
Matthew 16:5
And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Matthew 16:6
Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees *Gospel of Barnabas 151:2 and of the Sadducees."
Matthew 16:7
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "[It is] because we have taken no bread."
Matthew 16:8
[Which] when Jesus perceived, he said to them, "O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves, because you have brought no bread?
Matthew 16:9
Do you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Matthew 16:10
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Matthew 16:11
How is it that you do not understand that I spoke [it] not to you concerning bread, that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
Matthew 16:12
Then they understood how he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Matthew 16:13
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?"
Matthew 16:14
And they said, "Some [say that you are] John the Baptist, some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
Matthew 16:15
He says to them, "But whom do you say that I am?"
Matthew 16:16
And Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Messiah, the son of the living God." *Gospel of Barnabas 70:1
Matthew 16:17
And Jesus answered and said to him, "You are blessed, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to you, but my Father who is in the heavens.
Matthew 16:18
And I say also to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:19
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you will bind on earth will be bound in the heavens, and whatever you will loose on earth will be loosed in the heavens."
Matthew 16:20
Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus, the Messiah.
Matthew 16:21
From that time forth Jesus began to show to his disciples, how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
Matthew 16:22
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, "It is far from you, lord, this will not be to you."
Matthew 16:23
But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan, you are an offence to me, for you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men."
Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:25
For whoever will save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. *9:111
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he will gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then He will reward every man according to his works.
Matthew 16:28
Verily I say to you, 'There are some standing here, who will not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.'"
Matthew 17:1
And after six days, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart,
Matthew 17:2
And was transfigured before them, and his face shined as the sun, ~*Exodus 34:29 - 30 and his raiment was white as the light.
Matthew 17:3
And, behold, there appeared to them, Moses and Elijah talking with him.
Matthew 17:4
Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here, if you will, let us make three tabernacles here; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." *Gospel of Barnabas 42:6
Matthew 17:5
While he still spoke, 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 him."
Matthew 17:6
And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were afraid.
Matthew 17:7
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid."
Matthew 17:8
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only.
Matthew 17:9
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, "Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man has risen again from the dead."
Matthew 17:10
And his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
Matthew 17:11
And Jesus answered and said to them, "Elijah will truly come first and restore all things.
Matthew 17:12
But I say to you, 'That Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but have done to him whatever they listed.' *Malachi 4:5 Likewise, the Son of man will also suffer by them."
Matthew 17:13
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Matthew 17:14
And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Matthew 17:15
"Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and sorely vexed, for he often times falls into the fire, and often into the water.
Matthew 17:16
And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Matthew 17:17
Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I tolerate you? Bring him here to me."
Matthew 17:18
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour.
Matthew 17:19
Then the disciples came to Jesus apart, and said, "Why could we not cast him out?"
Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said to them, "Because of your disbelief, for verily I say to you, 'If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Remove from here to there;' and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible to you.'
Matthew 17:21
Howbeit this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting."
Matthew 17:22
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men.
Matthew 17:23
And they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised." And they were exceedingly sorry.
Matthew 17:24
And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, "Does your teacher not pay tribute?"
Matthew 17:25
He says, "Yes." And when he had come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of strangers?"
Matthew 17:26
Peter says to him, "Of strangers." Jesus says to him, "Then the children are free.
Matthew 18:2
And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them,
Matthew 18:3
And said, "Verily I say to you, 'Unless you are converted, and become as little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.'
Matthew 18:4
Whoever therefore will humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 18:5
And whoever will receive one such little child in my name receives me.
Matthew 18:6
But whoever will offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:7
Woe to the world because of offences! For it must be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
Matthew 18:8
Therefore if your hand or your foot offends you, cut them off, and cast [them] from you, it is better for you to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting Fire.
Matthew 18:9
And if your eye offends you, pluck it out, and cast [it] from you, it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of the Fire. *Gospel of Barnabas 87:1
Matthew 18:10
Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, 'That in the heavens, their angels always behold the Face of my Father who is in the heavens.'
Matthew 18:11
For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
Matthew 18:12
How do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety nine, and go into the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
Matthew 18:13
And if he finds it, verily I say to you, he rejoices more for that [sheep], than for the ninety nine that did not go astray.
Matthew 18:14
Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew 18:15
Moreover, if your brother will trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone, if he will hear you, you have gained your brother.
Matthew 18:16
But if he will not hear [you, then] take one or two more with you, so that every word may be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses. *Deuteronomy 19:15
Matthew 18:17
And if he will neglect to hear them, tell [it] to the church, but if he neglects to hear the church, let him be as a heathen man *Gospel of Barnabas 87:3 to you and a publican.
Matthew 18:18
Verily I say to you, 'Whatever you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you will loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.'
Matthew 18:19
Again I say to you, 'That if two of you will agree on earth as touching anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in the heavens.'
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them."
Matthew 18:21
Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"
Matthew 18:22
Jesus says to him, "I do not say to you, 'Until seven times,' but, 'Until seventy times seven.' *Gospel of Barnabas 88:3
Matthew 18:23
Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is likened to a certain king, who would take account of his servants.
Matthew 18:24
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.
Matthew 18:25
But forasmuch as he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Matthew 18:26
The servant therefore fell down and prostrated to him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
Matthew 18:27
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave the debt for him.
Matthew 18:28
But the same servant went out and found one of his fellowservants who owed him a hundred pence, and he laid [his] hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'
Matthew 18:29
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet and asked him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
Matthew 18:30
And he would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay the debt.
Matthew 18:31
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Matthew 18:32
Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, 'O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me.
Matthew 18:33
Should you not have also had compassion on your fellowservant, even as I had pity on you?'
Matthew 18:34
And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
Matthew 18:35
So will my heavenly Father also likewise do to you, if you, from your hearts, do not forgive each brother their trespasses." *Sirach 28:2, ~*24:22
Matthew 19:1
And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
Matthew 19:2
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
Matthew 19:3
The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?"
Matthew 19:4
And he answered and said to them, "Have you not read, that He who made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Matthew 19:5
And said, 'A man will leave [his] father and mother for this cause, and will cleave to his wife, and the two will be one flesh?' *Genesis 2:24
Matthew 19:6
Therefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has therefore joined together, do not let man put asunder."
Matthew 19:7
They say to him, "Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?"
Matthew 19:8
He says to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives, but it was not so from the beginning.
Matthew 19:9
And I say to you, 'Whoever will put away his wife, except for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is put away, commits adultery.'"
Matthew 19:10
His disciples say to him, "If the case of the man is so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry."
Matthew 19:11
But he said to them, "All [men] cannot receive this saying, except [those] to whom it is given.
Matthew 19:12
For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from [their] mother's womb, and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of the heavens' sake. He who is able to receive [it], let him receive [it]."
Matthew 19:13
Then little children were brought to him, so that he should put [his] hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.
Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children [come], and do not forbid them to come to me, for the kingdom of the heavens is of such."
Matthew 19:15
And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed from there.
Matthew 19:16
And behold, one came and said to him, "Good teacher, what good thing will I do, so that I may have eternal life?"
Matthew 19:17
And he said to him, "Why do you call me good? None [are] good but One, [that is], God, *Sirach 18:2 but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments."
Matthew 19:18
He says to him, "Which?" Jesus said, "'You will do no murder,' 'You will not commit adultery,' 'You will not steal,' 'You will not bear false witness,' *Exodus 20:13 - 16, *Deuteronomy 5:17 - 20
Matthew 19:19
'Honor your father and [your] mother,' *Exodus 20:12, *Deuteronomy 5:16, *17:23, *29:8, *46:15 and, 'You will love your neighbor as yourself.'" *Leviticus 19:18, *4:36
Matthew 19:20
The young man says to him, "I have kept all these things from my youth up, what do I still lack?"
Matthew 19:21
Jesus said to him, "If you will be perfect, go [and] sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come [and] follow me."
Matthew 19:22
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
Matthew 19:23
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Verily I say to you, 'That a rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of the heavens.'
Matthew 19:24
And again I say to you, 'It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, *7:40 than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.'"
Matthew 19:25
When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld [them] and said to them, "This is impossible with men; but all things are possible with God."
Matthew 19:27
Then Peter answered and said to him, "Behold, we have forsaken all and followed you; what will we have therefore?"
Matthew 19:28
And Jesus said to them, "Verily I say to you, 'Those who have followed me, in the Resurrection, when the Son of man will sit in the throne of his glory, you also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'
Matthew 19:29
And everyone who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit everlasting life.
Matthew 19:30
But many [who are] first will be last; and the last [will be] first.
Matthew 20:1
For the kingdom of the heavens is like a man [who is] a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:2
And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:3
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Matthew 20:4
And said to them; 'Go also into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.' And they went their way.
Matthew 20:5
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matthew 20:6
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and says to them, 'Why do you stand here all the day idle?'
Matthew 20:7
They say to him, 'Because no man has hired us.' He says to them, 'Go also into the vineyard; and you will receive whatever is right.'
Matthew 20:8
So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, 'Call the laborers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last to the first.'
Matthew 20:9
And when those came who [were hired] about the eleventh hour, every man received a penny.
Matthew 20:10
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and every man likewise received a penny.
Matthew 20:11
And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Matthew 20:12
Saying, 'These last have worked [only] one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.'
Matthew 20:13
But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I do you no wrong, did you not agree with me for a penny?
Matthew 20:14
Take yours and go your way, I will give to this last, even as to you.
Matthew 20:15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?'
Matthew 20:16
So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few chosen."
Matthew 20:17
And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart in the way and said to them,
Matthew 20:18
"Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
Matthew 20:19
And will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him], and he will rise again the third day."
Matthew 20:20
Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to him with her sons, prostrating [to him], and desiring a certain thing of him.
Matthew 20:21
And he said to her, "What do you will?" She says to him, "Grant that my two sons may sit, one on your right hand, and the other on the left, in your kingdom."
Matthew 20:22
But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink from the cup that I will drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They say to him, "We are able."
Matthew 20:23
And he says to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it will be given to them] for whom it is prepared by my Father."
Matthew 20:24
And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.
Matthew 20:25
But Jesus called them [to him] and said, "You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and those who are great exercise authority upon them.
Matthew 20:26
But it will not be so among you, but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Matthew 20:27
And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.
Matthew 20:28
Even as the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life [as] a ransom for many."
Matthew 20:29
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Matthew 20:30
And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on us, O lord, Son of David."
Matthew 20:31
And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace, but they cried more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O lord, Son of David."
Matthew 20:32
And Jesus stood still, and called them and said, "What do you will that I will do to you?"
Matthew 20:33
They say to him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
Matthew 20:34
So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, *3:49, *5:110 and they followed him.
Matthew 21:1
And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Matthew 21:2
Saying to them, "Go into the village over against you, and straightway you will find a tied donkey, and a colt with her, loose [them], and bring [them] to me.
Matthew 21:3
And if any [man] says anything to you, you will say, 'The Lord [God] has need of them;' and straightway he will send them."
Matthew 21:4
All this was done, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Matthew 21:5
Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your king comes to you meek and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.' *Zechariah 9:9
Matthew 21:6
And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them,
Matthew 21:7
And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put their clothes on them, and they set [Jesus] thereon.
Matthew 21:8
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and laid [them] in the way.
Matthew 21:9
And the multitudes that went before and followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David, he who comes in the name of the Lord [is] blessed; Hosanna in the highest." *Gospel of Barnabas 200:3
Matthew 21:10
And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?"
Matthew 21:11
And the multitude said, "This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee."
Matthew 21:12
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold doves,
Matthew 21:13
And said to them, "It is written, 'My House will be called the House of prayer;' *Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a den of thieves." *Jeremiah 7:11
Matthew 21:14
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Matthew 21:15
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David;" they were sorely displeased,
Matthew 21:16
And said to him, "Do you hear what these say?" And Jesus says to them, "Indeed; have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise?'" *Psalms 8:2
Matthew 21:17
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Matthew 21:18
Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Matthew 21:19
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and he said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you henceforth forever." And the fig tree presently withered away.
Matthew 21:20
And when the disciples saw [it], they marveled, saying, "How soon has the fig tree withered away!"
Matthew 21:21
Jesus answered and said to them, "Verily I say to you, if you do not doubt, you will not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also, if you will say to this mountain, 'Be removed and cast into the sea;' it will be done.
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatever you will ask in prayer [while] believing, you will receive."
Matthew 21:23
And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority do you these things? And who gave you this authority?"
Matthew 21:24
And Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:25
The baptism of John, from where was it? From heaven, or from men?" And they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven;' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Matthew 21:26
But if we will say, 'From men;' we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet."
Matthew 21:27
And they answered Jesus and said, "We cannot tell." And he said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:28
But what do you think? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.'
Matthew 21:29
He answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he repented and went.
Matthew 21:30
And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I [will go], sir,' and did not go.
Matthew 21:31
Which of those two did the will of [his] father?" They say to him, "The first." Jesus says to them, "Verily I say to you, 'That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.'
Matthew 21:32
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the publicans and the harlots believed him, and you, when you had seen [it], did not repent afterward, so that you might believe him.
Matthew 21:33
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, *Gospel of Barnabas 46:1 and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. *Isaiah 5:1 - 2
Matthew 21:34
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, so that they might receive the fruits of it.
Matthew 21:35
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Matthew 21:36
Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them likewise.
Matthew 21:37
But last of all, he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will reverence my son.'
Matthew 21:38
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said amongst themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize his inheritance.'
Matthew 21:39
And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
Matthew 21:40
When the lord of the vineyard therefore comes, what will he do to those husbandmen?"
Matthew 21:41
They say to him, "He will miserably destroy those wicked men, *Isaiah 5:5 and will let out [his] vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons."
Matthew 21:42
Jesus says to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner, this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?' *Psalms 118:22 - 23
Matthew 21:43
Therefore I say to you, 'The kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Matthew 21:44
And whoever will fall on this stone will be broken, but on whomsoever it will fall, it will grind him to powder.'"
Matthew 21:45
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
Matthew 21:46
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Matthew 22:1
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said,
Matthew 22:2
"The kingdom of the heavens is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
Matthew 22:3
And sent forth his servants to call those who were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come.
Matthew 22:4
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are bidden, 'Behold, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready, come to the marriage.'
Matthew 22:5
But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.
Matthew 22:6
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
Matthew 22:7
But when the king heard [thereof], he was angry, and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matthew 22:8
Then he says to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were bidden were not worthy.'
Matthew 22:9
Go therefore into the highways, and as many as you will find, bid to the marriage.'
Matthew 22:10
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew 22:11
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have a wedding garment on.
Matthew 22:12
And he says to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment?' *Zephaniah 1:7 - 8 And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, *14:49, *25:13, *89:26 and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; *Book of Enoch 10:4, *44:47, *69:30 - 31 there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Matthew 22:14
For many are called, but few [are] chosen." *Barnabas 4:14
Matthew 22:15
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
Matthew 22:16
And they sent out their disciples with the Herodians to him, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, neither do you care for any [man], for you do not regard the person of men.
Matthew 22:17
Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"
Matthew 22:18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you tempt me, hypocrites?
Matthew 22:19
Show me the tribute money." And they brought to him a penny.
Matthew 22:20
And he says to them, "Whose [is] this image and superscription?"
Matthew 22:21
They say to him, "Caesar's." Then he says to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." *Gospel of Barnabas 31:1
Matthew 22:22
When they had heard [these words], they marveled and left him, and went their way.
Matthew 22:23
The same day, the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no Resurrection, and asked him,
Matthew 22:24
Saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies having no children, his brother will marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.' *Deuteronomy 25:5
Matthew 22:25
Now there were seven brothers with us, and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and having no issue, left his wife to his brother.
Matthew 22:26
Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Matthew 22:27
And last of all, the woman also died.
Matthew 22:28
Therefore, in the Resurrection, whose wife will she be among the seven? For they all had her."
Matthew 22:29
Jesus answered and said to them, "You do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew 22:30
For in the Resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. *Book of Enoch 15:6 - 7
Matthew 22:31
But as touching the Resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Matthew 22:32
'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' *Exodus 3:6 God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
Matthew 22:33
And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
Matthew 22:34
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Matthew 22:35
Then one of them, [who was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
Matthew 22:36
Teacher, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said to him, "'You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' *Deuteronomy 6:5, *3:31
Matthew 22:38
This is the first and great commandment.
Matthew 22:39
And the second [is] like it, 'You will love your neighbor as yourself.' *Leviticus 19:18, *Romans 13:9, *4:36
Matthew 22:40
All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments."
Matthew 22:41
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Matthew 22:42
Saying, "What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They say to him, "[The son] of David."
Matthew 22:43
He says to them, "How then does David call him lord in [the Holy] Spirit, saying,
Matthew 22:44
'The Lord said to my lord, 'Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?'' *Psalms 110:1
Matthew 22:45
If then, David called him lord, how is he his son?"
Matthew 22:46
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither did any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].
Matthew 23:1
Then Jesus spoke to the multitude and to his disciples,
Matthew 23:2
Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
Matthew 23:3
Therefore, all [things] whatsoever they bid you to observe, observe and do [that]; but do not go after their works, for they say and do not do.
Matthew 23:4
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous [things] to be borne, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.
Matthew 23:5
But they do all their works to be seen by men, they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Matthew 23:6
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Matthew 23:7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
Matthew 23:8
But do not be called Rabbi, for One is your Teacher, [even for] the Messiah; and all of you are brothers.
Matthew 23:9
And call no [man] your father upon the earth, for One is your Father, who is in the heavens.
Matthew 23:10
Neither be called leaders, for One is your Leader, [even for] the Messiah.
Matthew 23:11
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Matthew 23:12
And whoever will exalt himself will be abased; and he who will humble himself will be exalted.
Matthew 23:13
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of the heavens against men, for you neither go in [yourselves], neither do you let those who are entering to go in.
Matthew 23:14
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and make long prayers for a pretense, therefore you will receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 23:15
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of Gehenna than yourselves.
Matthew 23:16
Woe to you, [you] blind guides, who say, 'Whoever will swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever will swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!' *5:78
Matthew 23:17
[You] fools and blind, for what is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
Matthew 23:18
And, 'Whoever will swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.'
Matthew 23:19
[You] fools and blind, for what [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Matthew 23:20
Whoever therefore will swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things thereon.
Matthew 23:21
And whoever will swear by the temple, swears by it, and by Him who dwells therein.
Matthew 23:22
And he who will swear by heaven, swears by the Throne of God, and by Him who sits thereon.
Matthew 23:23
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith, you should have done these, and not leave the other undone.
Matthew 23:24
[You] blind guides, who strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Matthew 23:25
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Matthew 23:26
[You] blind Pharisee, first cleanse that [which is] within the cup and platter, so that the outside of them may also be clean.
Matthew 23:27
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outside, but they are full of dead [men's] bones within, and of all uncleanness.
Matthew 23:28
Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew 23:29
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
Matthew 23:30
And say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.' *35:42
Matthew 23:31
Therefore you are witnesses to yourselves, that you are the children of those who killed the prophets.
Matthew 23:32
Fill up then the measure of your fathers.
Matthew 23:33
[You] serpents, [you] generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of Gehenna? *5:78
Matthew 23:34
Therefore, behold, I send prophets to you, and wise men, and scribes, and you will kill and crucify [some] of them; and you will scourge [some] of them in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
Matthew 23:35
So that all the righteous blood shed upon the earth may come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar. *Gospel of Barnabas 189:4
Matthew 23:36
Verily I say to you, 'All these things will come upon this generation.
Matthew 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [you] who kill the prophets, *3:21, *4:155 and stone those who are sent to you, *2 Chronicles 24:19 - 21 how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under [her] wings, *2 Ezra 1:30 and you would not!
Matthew 23:38
Behold, your house is left desolate to you.' *2 Ezra 1:33
Matthew 23:39
For I say to you, you will not see me henceforth, until you will say, 'He who comes in the name of the Lord [is] blessed.'"
Matthew 24:1
And Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to show him the buildings of the temple.
Matthew 24:2
And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Verily I say to you, 'There will not be one stone left here upon another, that will not be thrown down.'" *17:7
Matthew 24:3
And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what [will] the sign of your coming [be], and of the end of the world?"
Matthew 24:4
And Jesus answered and said to them, "[God says to you,] take heed that no man deceives you.
Matthew 24:5
For many will come in My [God's] name, saying, 'I am the Messiah [of God];' and will deceive many.
Matthew 24:6
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that you are not troubled, for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:7
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, *2 Ezra 13:31 and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, *2 Ezra 9:3 in various places.
Matthew 24:8
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:9
Then will they deliver you up to be afflicted, and will kill you, and you will be hated of all nations for My [God's] name's sake.
Matthew 24:10
And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Matthew 24:11
And many false prophets will rise, and will deceive many.
Matthew 24:12
And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax cold. *2 Ezra 5:2
Matthew 24:13
But he who will endure to the end, the same will be saved.
Matthew 24:14
And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:15
When you will therefore see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand).
Matthew 24:16
Then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains.
Matthew 24:17
Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house.
Matthew 24:18
Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Matthew 24:19
And woe to those who are with child, *2 Ezra 6:21 and to those who nurse [their children] in those days! *22:2
Matthew 24:20
But pray that your flight is not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day;
Matthew 24:21
For then there will be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever will be. *Daniel 12:1
Matthew 24:22
And except those days should be shortened, no flesh should be saved, but for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
Matthew 24:23
Then if any man will say to you, 'Look, here [is] the Messiah, or there;' do not believe.
Matthew 24:24
For false Messiahs will arise, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they will deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:25
Behold, I have told you before.
Matthew 24:26
Therefore if they will say to you, 'Behold, he is in the desert;' do not go forth, 'Behold, [he is] in the secret chambers;' do not believe.
Matthew 24:27
For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so will the coming of the Son of man also be.
Matthew 24:28
For wherever the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered there together.
Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, *75:6 - 8 and the stars will fall from heaven, *Isaiah 34:4, *81:1 - 2, *82:2 and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Matthew 24:30
And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, *43:61 and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:31
And he will send his angels with a great sound of a Trumpet, *50:41 - 42 and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When his branch is still tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer [is] near.
Matthew 24:33
So likewise, when you will see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
Matthew 24:34
Verily I say to you, 'This generation will not pass, until all these things are fulfilled.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.'
Matthew 24:36
But no [man] knows of that Day and Hour, no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father only. *7:187, *31:34, *33:63, *41:47
Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noah [were], so will the coming of the Son of man also be.
Matthew 24:38
For as they were even eating and drinking in the days that were before the flood, [and] marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39
And did not know until the flood came, and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of man also be.
Matthew 24:40
Then two will be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24:41
Two [women will be] grinding at the mill; the one will be taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24:42
Watch therefore, for you do not know what Hour your lord comes.
Matthew 24:43
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have left his house to be broken up.
Matthew 24:44
Therefore be also ready, for in such an Hour as you do not think the Son of man comes.
Matthew 24:45
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Matthew 24:46
That servant [is indeed] blessed, whom his lord, when he comes, will find so doing.
Matthew 24:47
Verily I say to you, 'That he will make him ruler over all his goods.'
Matthew 24:48
But if that evil servant will say in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming;'
Matthew 24:49
And will begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Matthew 24:50
The lord of that servant will come in a Day when he does not look for [him], and in an Hour that he is not aware of,
Matthew 24:51
And will cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25:1
Then the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew 25:2
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
Matthew 25:3
Those who [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them.
Matthew 25:4
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25:5
While the bridegroom lingered, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 25:6
And at midnight, a cry was made, 'Behold, the bridegroom comes; go out to meet him.'
Matthew 25:7
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25:8
And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us [some] of your oil; for our lamps have gone out.'
Matthew 25:9
But the wise answered, saying, '[Not so]; unless there is not enough for us and you, but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
Matthew 25:10
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. *57:12 - 13
Matthew 25:11
Afterward, the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
Matthew 25:12
But he answered and said, 'Verily I say to you, I do not know you.'
Matthew 25:13
Watch therefore, for you know neither the Day nor the Hour wherein the Son of man comes.
Matthew 25:14
For [it is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.
Matthew 25:15
And he gave five talents to one, two to another, and one to another; to every man according to his own ability; and straightway took his journey.
Matthew 25:16
Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made five other talents.
Matthew 25:17
And likewise, he who [had received] two, he also gained two others.
Matthew 25:18
But he who had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Matthew 25:19
After a long time the lord of those servants comes and reckons with them.
Matthew 25:20
And so he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered five talents to me, behold, I have gained five talents more beside them.'
Matthew 25:21
His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things, enter into the joy of your lord.'
Matthew 25:22
He also who had received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered two talents to me, behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.'
Matthew 25:23
His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things, enter into the joy of your lord.'
Matthew 25:24
Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew that you were a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not strewn.
Matthew 25:25
And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth, look, you have [what is] yours.'
Matthew 25:26
His lord answered and said to him, '[You] wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reaped where I did not sow, and gathered where I have not strewn.
Matthew 25:27
You ought to have therefore put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
Matthew 25:28
Therefore take the talent from him, and give [it] to him who has ten talents.
Matthew 25:29
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
Matthew 25:30
And cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Matthew 25:31
When the Son of man will come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit upon the throne of his glory.
Matthew 25:32
And all nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides [his] sheep from the goats.
Matthew 25:33
And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25:34
Then the king will say to those on his right hand, 'Come, you [who are] blessed by my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Matthew 25:35
For I was hungry, and you gave me meat, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger, and you took me in;
Matthew 25:36
Naked, and you clothed me, I was sick, and you visited me, I was in prison, and you came to me.'
Matthew 25:37
Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed [you]? Or thirsty, and gave [you] drink?
Matthew 25:38
When did we see you a stranger, and took [you] in? Or naked, and clothed [you]?
Matthew 25:39
Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you?'
Matthew 25:40
And the king will answer and say to them, 'Verily I say to you, inasmuch as you have done [it] to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done [it] to me.'
Matthew 25:41
Then he will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting Fire, *56:41 - 42, *69:25 - 31, *90:19 - 20 prepared for the devil and his messengers. *26:94 - 95
Matthew 25:42
For I was hungry, and you gave me no meat, I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink.
Matthew 25:43
I was a stranger, and you did not take me in, naked, and you did not clothe me, sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.'
Matthew 25:44
Then they will also answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?'
Matthew 25:45
Then he will answer them, saying, 'Verily I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do [it] to one of the least of these, you did not do [it] to me.'
Matthew 25:46
And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Matthew 26:1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
Matthew 26:2
You know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified."
Matthew 26:3
Then the chief priests assembled together, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Matthew 26:4
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill [him].
Matthew 26:5
But they said, "Not on the feast [day], unless there is an uproar among the people."
Matthew 26:6
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Matthew 26:7
A woman came to him, having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he sat. *Gospel of Barnabas 205:1
Matthew 26:8
But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, "To what purpose [is] this waste?
Matthew 26:9
For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor."
Matthew 26:10
When Jesus understood [it], he said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work upon me.
Matthew 26:11
For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have me. *Gospel of Barnabas 205:2
Matthew 26:12
For in that, she has poured this ointment on my body, she did [it] for my burial.
Matthew 26:13
Verily I say to you, 'Wherever this Gospel will be preached in the whole world, this will also be told for a memorial of her, what this woman has done.'"
Matthew 26:14
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Matthew 26:15
And said [to them], "What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you?" And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
Matthew 26:16
And from that time, he sought opportunity to betray him. *58:14
Matthew 26:17
Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, "Where do you will that we prepare for you to eat the passover?"
Matthew 26:18
And he said, "Go into the city to such a man, and say to him [that] the teacher says, 'My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.'"
Matthew 26:19
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they readied the passover.
Matthew 26:20
Now when the evening had come, he sat down with the twelve.
Matthew 26:21
And as they ate, he said, "Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me."
Matthew 26:22
And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and every one of them began to say to him, "Is it I, lord?"
Matthew 26:23
And he answered and said, "He who dips [his] hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.
Matthew 26:24
The Son of man goes as it is [already] written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born."
Matthew 26:25
Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, "Is it I, lord?" He said to him, "You have said."
Matthew 26:26
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed [it], and broke [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat, this is my body."
Matthew 26:27
And he took the cup and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, "Drink all of it;
Matthew 26:28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 26:29
But I say to you, 'I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.'"
Matthew 26:30
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
Matthew 26:31
Then Jesus says to them, "All of you will be offended because of me this night, for it is written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad.' *Zechariah 13:7
Matthew 26:32
But after I have risen again, I will go before you into Galilee."
Matthew 26:33
Peter answered and said to him, "Though all [men] will be offended because of you, [yet] I will never be offended."
Matthew 26:34
Jesus said to him, "Verily I say to you, 'That this night, before the rooster crow, !*Mark 14:30 you will deny me three times.'"
Matthew 26:35
Peter said to him, "Though I should die with you, yet I will not deny you." All the disciples also said likewise.
Matthew 26:36
Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, "Sit here, while I go and pray there."
Matthew 26:37
And he took Peter with him and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Matthew 26:38
Then he says to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death, wait here, and watch with me."
Matthew 26:39
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, *48:29 and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless not as I will, but as You [will]."
Matthew 26:40
And he comes to the disciples and finds them asleep, and says to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation, the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak."
Matthew 26:42
He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, Your will be done."
Matthew 26:43
And he came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
Matthew 26:44
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Matthew 26:45
Then he comes to his disciples and says to them, "Sleep on now, and take [your] rest, behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matthew 26:46
Rise, let us be going, behold, he is at hand who betrays me."
Matthew 26:47
And while he still spoke, look, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and a great multitude with him with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. *58:14
Matthew 26:48
Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, the same is him, hold him fast."
Matthew 26:49
And immediately, he came to Jesus and said, "Hail, rabbi;" and kissed him.
Matthew 26:50
And Jesus said to him, "Friend, from where did you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Matthew 26:51
And behold, one of them, who was with Jesus, stretched out [his] hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
Matthew 26:52
Then Jesus said to him, "Put up your sword again into its place, for all those who take the sword will perish with the sword.
Matthew 26:53
Do you think that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54
But how then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must thus be?"
Matthew 26:55
In that same hour, Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid no hold on me."
Matthew 26:56
But all this was done, so that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled. *Psalms 31:11
Matthew 26:57
And those who had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Matthew 26:58
But Peter followed him afar off to the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
Matthew 26:59
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Matthew 26:60
But found none, indeed, though many false witnesses came, [yet] they found none. At the last, two false witnesses came
Matthew 26:61
And said, "This [fellow] said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"
Matthew 26:62
And the high priest arose and said to him, "Do you answer nothing? What [is it which] these witness against you?"
Matthew 26:63
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the son of God."
Matthew 26:64
Jesus says to him, "You have said, nevertheless I say to you, 'Hereafter will you see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.'"
Matthew 26:65
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy; what further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
Matthew 26:66
What do you think?" They answered and said, "He is guilty of death."
Matthew 26:67
Then they spit in his face and buffeted him; and others struck [him] with the palms of their hands,
Matthew 26:68
Saying, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah, who is he who struck you?"
Matthew 26:69
Now Peter sat alone in the palace, and a damsel came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus of Galilee."
Matthew 26:70
But he denied before [them] all, saying, "I do not know what you say."
Matthew 26:71
And when he had gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and said to those who were there, "This [fellow] was also with Jesus of Nazareth."
Matthew 26:72
And again, he denied with an oath, "I do not know the man."
Matthew 26:73
And after a while, those who stood by came to [him] and said to Peter, "Surely you are also [one] of them; for your speech betrays you."
Matthew 26:74
Then he began to curse and swear, [saying], "I do not know the man." And immediately the rooster crew.
Matthew 26:75
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, "Before the rooster crow, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.
Matthew 27:1
When the morning had come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
Matthew 27:2
And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
Matthew 27:3
Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented, and brought the thirty pieces of silver again to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew 27:4
Saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." *5:52 And they said, "What [is that] to us? See [to that]."
Matthew 27:5
And [Judas] cast the pieces of silver down in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Matthew 27:6
And the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."
Matthew 27:7
And they took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them to bury strangers in [it].
Matthew 27:8
Therefore that field was called, "The field of blood," to this day.
Matthew 27:9
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom those of the Children of Israel valued;
Matthew 27:10
And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me." *Zechariah 11:12 - 13
Matthew 27:11
And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "You say."
Matthew 27:12
And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Matthew 27:13
Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they witness against you?"
Matthew 27:14
And he did not answer him one word; insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.
Matthew 27:15
Now at [that] feast, the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner to the people, whomever they willed.
Matthew 27:16
And they had a notable prisoner then, called Barabbas.
Matthew 27:17
Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you will that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?"
Matthew 27:18
For he knew that they had delivered him for envy.
Matthew 27:19
When he had sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
Matthew 27:20
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Matthew 27:21
The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you will that I release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."
Matthew 27:22
Pilate says to them, "What will I do then with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?" [They] all say to him, "Let him be crucified."
Matthew 27:23
And the governor said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out the more, saying, "Let him be crucified."
Matthew 27:24
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just person, see [to it]."
Matthew 27:25
Then all the people answered and said, "His blood [is] on us, and on our children."
Matthew 27:26
Then he released Barabbas to them, and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
Matthew 27:27
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered the whole band [of soldiers] to him.
Matthew 27:28
And they stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
Matthew 27:29
